Latin Prayers
From Pope presents summary of catechism, urges memorizing Latin prayers:
    Presenting the new "Compendium of the Catechism of the Catholic Church," Pope Benedict XVI urged Catholics around the world to memorize the most common Catholic prayers in Latin.

    Learning the prayers in Latin as well as in one's own language "will help Christian faithful of different languages pray together, especially when they gather for special circumstances," the pope said June 28 as he distributed the Italian version of the compendium, which included an appendix with the Latin texts of many traditional prayers, including the Sign of the Cross, the Gloria, the Hail Mary and Come, Holy Spirit.
Follow the Holy Father's advice and visit this site with numerous prayers in the official language of the Roman Catholic Church: Thesaurus Precum Latinarum.
