Living here in the Archdiocese of Denver with our wonderful Archbishop Chaput has resulted in the expanded use of Latin; a decision we fully accept!  However, my wife and I converted over 20 years ago and Latin wasn’t even discussed in any manner during RCIA.  We don’t know how to speak it or the meaning of the use of Latin during last Sunday’s Mass, which was very wonderful.  The Kyrie was in Greek, and several phrases during the Communion Rite were in Latin; one song was titled ‘Sanctus.’

’m hoping you might be able to direct us to a resource, web or book, that can help us learn the common Latin sung at Mass.  Any help you might provide would be very appreciated.

Readers?

And let this not become a debate on the general subject of Latin, etc. Just answer the man’s question!
