Visitors ask: How to Pronounce....

This topic continues to come up daily many times. Here is a partial and updated list of some words or phrases that appear in the daily Sitemeter queue. The pronunciations below are given in colloquial English. I have corrected them where I can. See the links below for how to pronounce Liturgical Latin as used in the Mass and for how to pronounce various Latin prayers (MP3 format).

• Deo volente
• Ad majorem Dei gloriam
• Agnus Dei (Lamb of God) Use the second pronunciation for "agnus" (än-yús); the "g" sound is silent and not heard)
  
• Imago Dei (use the pronunciation of Dei as from Agnus Dei above; imago has a "soft" A)
• Opus Dei (use the pronunciation of Dei as from Agnus Dei above)
• Padua
• Pietrelcina
