Latin Analysis of One Line of Ambrosian Hymn

Ambrosian Hymn Jam lucis orto sidere, Deum precemur supplices, Ut in diurnis actibus Nos servet a nocentibus.   Linguam refraenans temperet Ne litis horror insonet: Visum fovendo contegat, Ne vanitates hauriat.

Standing Confusion: When to stand in Mass (Before or After the Orate frater?)

Having recently found out how close St.Lawrence Martyr was to my home, I couldn't not begin attending there–I knew I'd find a use for the 5 Latin courses I took back in Ottawa a lifetime ago!   However, because I have been spending Sundays in Niagara region to take my daughter to her local Church, [...]
