Easter Sequence: Víctimae Pascháli Laudes
TLM Gospel for Palm Sunday
There is so much going on grammatically here--to say nothing of the Salvation History, narrative drama, or theology of course!
Video: Intro to Liturgical Latin, Lesson 1
I hope you get a lot out of this little presentation. If you've been wondering what studying Latin with me is like, this is a sample. I'd love to hear your thoughts after you view the video.
Reading Practice I: Visiones Perpetuae
Great vintage book provides Ecclesiastical Latin excerpts and illuminating footnotes, and I am adding case colors to further aid comprehension. This will be great!

If you've had about two years of Latin, either with a Classical focus or of course especially with an Ecclesiastical Latin focus, you will enjoy working your way through these actual, genuine Medieval texts in Latin linked below.

If You Must Wheelock…
This really is a nice book: sentences and selections are arranged according to the chapter of Wheelock's Latin, going along with the pace of the textbook's difficulty and introduction of vocabulary.

Antiphon: O Virtus Sapientiae
This is my very favorite piece of music by St. Hildegard von Bingen. It is very mysterious, which is not surprising as she was a great mystic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77M2pkkdH10 O Virtus Sapientiae (antiphon) by Hildegard von Bingen I have learned to sing it, and you can learn to sing it, too!
