How Do You Pronounce "Deo volente?"

This has been popping up a great deal lately. I invite those who have questions like this to first put the term in the "blog search engine" in the upper left corner. They would have come across this entry from July . Once again, several pronunciations are possible depending upon "classical" or "liturgical" Latin differences. I pronounce the name, Day'-OH VO-Len'-Tay (although the liturgical Latin could render the second name, VO-Len'-Tee).

Visitors ask..Latin Mass Readings or Readings for the Latin Mass or Daily Latin Mass Readings

This is one I have answered before on several occasions, but the Google "search string" is totally critical for locating the answer. To my knowledge, there is NO site online that has the daily LATIN readings for the TLM. It just doesn't exist as yet. However, a good Deacon has a site with the English Translations of the TLM for most days. Today, October 30th, and yesterday were Ferial Days, so only information on the saint was provided. However, here is an example of the readings for the Mass for Saints Simon and Jude for earlier this week . Note that you can subscribe to the RSS output for this site, or use the widget he provides. For English readers, it is a marvelous apostolate!

Fr. Corapi produced a half hour video today that all Catholics (and Americans) should see. It expounds upon what Bishop Rene H. Gracida just said boldly in a recent radio spot. (He is the Bishop that ordained Fr. Corapi a Deacon). As YouTube has a ten minute limit on posts, the entire post is divided into three segments--Parts 1, 2 and 3--of ten minutes each. The video can be found here: Eleventh Hour Election Alert ! http://www.fathercorapi.com/election.aspx
