Oremus: A Treasury of Latin Prayers with English Translations
Oremus (“Let us pray”) invites Catholics to rediscover the Church’s sacred heritage by praying time-honored Latin prayers side-by-side with clear, literal English translations. For nearly two millennia, Latin has carried the Church’s Scriptures, liturgy, and devotional life. This beautifully arranged collection helps you pray as the saints prayed—whether you’re just beginning with Latin or deepening a lifelong devotion.
Interest in praying in Latin continues to grow—Pope Leo’s official Latin communications have helped inspire many Catholics to learn and love the language of the Church. Oremus is a practical, approachable way to begin.
