Technorati Tags: Oremus Pro Pontifice
“This blog is rather like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” - Fr. Z

Is oremus a command or a present tense verb (or something else?)
Thanks,
Elly
It’s conjunctive:
Let us pray …
Oremus in the old Mass and the new Mass means “Let us pray”
There was an amusing story of King George VI (or perhaps King George V) who attended a Church service and was obviously not familiar with the liturgy. The Anglican Vicar intoned ‘Let us Pray’ and the King replied ‘By all means!’
It looks really smart on you! ;)
They don’t sell those here in Rome :(
Fr. Z, that button looks really cool on you! ; )
pelerin-that’s a funny story about King George…whatever his number!
I added it as a button to the side of my blog..<img

but you need to add a left arrow img first then at the end left arrow forward slash a then right arrow…which the comment page won’t print for me…
I added it to my sidebar as well. Thanks for organizing this, Father!
