Mixing English & Latin
Dear Brother,
Is it permissible to sing, chant and pray hymns and prayers both in English and Latin? You've mentioned before that it is permissible to sing hymns in Latin whilst you can do the rest in the vernacular.
Is it possible to sing or chant some parts in Latin for versicles, psalms or prayers whilst the rest be in English?
Thank you and May God bless you!

Dear Aaron: No problem. The use of Latin is always to be praised. There is no problem praying parts in English and parts in Latin. Be sure, however, to use the official text in Latin.
God Bless, |
