Product information
  • Oremus is a collection of cherished prayers in Latin with their English translations
  • The exact words prayed by many of the saints over the centuries

Oremus allows Catholics to experience anew—or for the first time—the beauty and rich spiritual heritage of the language used for almost two-thousand years in the scriptures, liturgy, and prayers of the Church. Traditional Latin prayers such as the Ave Maria, Sancte Michael, and Tantum Ergo are presented side-by-side with their literal English translations in this extraordinary collection.

Pope Francis’s Twitter account in Latin has grown from 100,000 followers in 2013 to more than almost a million in 2020; and there is a growing interest by Catholics to learn traditional prayers in Latin.

Oremus is a collection of cherished prayers in Latin—the exact words prayed by many of the saints over the centuries—including:

  • The prayers of the Rosary—Pater Noster, Gloria Patri, and Salve Regina;
  • Prayers for Eucharistic Adoration—O Salutaris, Laudes Divinae, and Anima Christi;
  • Prayers for morning, evening, and night—Benedictus, Magnificat, Nunc Dimittis;
  • Favorite psalms and Gospel Sequences;
  • Prayers used by St. Louis de Montfort in his preparation for Total Consecration to Mary—Veni Creator and Ave Maris Stella; and
  • Prayers of and to saints—Te Deum and Suscipe.

Oremus includes an introduction, ecclesiastical Latin pronunciation guide, index, and accent markings throughout the text. It can be used as a prayer book for individuals, classrooms, families, and small groups.

Traditional

"I enjoy the Oremus Latin prayer and will treasure and share with my grandson this summer of 2024! My hope is to introduce him to the Latin language! Thank you for making the book available."

JOHANNA R. (5/5)

Nice to have. Wish it

"Nice to have. Wish it was a higher quality book though. Would be great if it was hard cover on higher quality paper."

MICHELLE R. (4/5)

A Wonderful Collection

"This is an amazing treasury of prayers. It has nearly everything you can think of, with the Latin and English. The Latin pronoun cation guide is helpful, and it is organized thoughtfully. My only complaint is that I wish it was prettier on the shelf!"

GRACE R. (4/5)

A comforting book of prayers

"Many nice prayers , and latin translations bring back memories of How Mass was said awhile ago"

A Welcome and Refreshing Latin Aid

"I bought this as an aid to the Latin prayers found within Tridentine Mass. I had hoped for more in terms of help understanding the Latin prayed at each stage of the Mass, but that is not really the fault of the book; just a somewhat mistaken impression of what the book would contain on my part. Still, I was so happy to have purchased this. One of my concerns before finding this book was dealing with a guide that would come off as somewhat pretentious. I found that was far from the case with Oremus. Not only that, but the guide to pronunciation found in the front of the book was incredibly helpful and precise. The introduction was also thorough enough to explain that there also exists the Classical pronunciation of Latin as well as the Ecclesiastical (even though the Ecclesiastical pronunciation is the only one dealt with within the book). Overall, I think that this is a fitting addition to any good library, even though one must look somewhere else to better follow the order and prayers of Latin Mass. Pax et Bonum!"

Alassra D. (5/5)

I ordered the book Oremus

"I ordered the book Oremus and I am very happy with my purchase. I have been learning to pray in Latin because we are preparing to celebrate the Latin Mass. The English and Latin side-by-side texts are very helpful. I have been praying the Rosary in Latin during Eucharistic Adoration in Church and the Angelus in the mornings."

ROBERT S. (5/5)
