About the Psalms

The psalms may be referred to as "a catechesis of prayer". They appear in the Old Testament and are traditionally numbered at 150. The book of psalms (or the Psalter) is sometimes collected into five books. The subject matter of the psalms varies and includes pleas for God's assistance, laments, thanksgiving, praise, expressions of trust, and other items. Many of the psalms are attributed to King David, while the rest are attributed other writers (all under the influence of the Holy Spirit).

The psalms have been used for prayer since the earliest days of the Church. They appear in the liturgy, in songs, etc. Psalms have also been used privately for prayer and reflection. Note that Jesus Himself quoted from the Psalms while on the Cross (click here for more information).

Note that titles and descriptive information which may be applied to the Psalms are not original and may vary among translations / editions. Also note that numbering of the Psalms may vary [for example, traditional numbering may be one number less than modern numbering for Psalms 9/10-146/147]. The following descriptive information is from a popular, traditional Scripture translation (the Douay Rheims), as well as a modern Bible translation which has been in frequent use (the NAB). Reminder: Consult appropriate, competent Church authorities for assistance in interpreting / applying Scripture. Interpretation and application of Scripture should not be contrary to the perennial, official teaching of the Roman Catholic Church. Do not take Scripture passages out of context. Do not inflict (or wish) harm on yourself or others, break laws, take unsuitable / incautious or inappropriate / drastic actions, or take figurative items literally. We are not responsible for any interpretation / misinterpretation, application / misapplication, use / misuse, etc. of Scripture. Use of site is at your own risk and is subject to our terms of use.

BIG Book of Latin Activities For Catholics

Beginning - Intermediate (Vol. 1)

"Suitable For Children Or Adults!" ~ "Perfect For Home Schoolers!"

+ + +

As many faithful Catholics already know, the majestic Latin language – the 'official language' of the Catholic Church – promotes unity, helps safeguard the purity of doctrine, connects us with our Catholic ancestors, allows us to pray in "one voice", and even ties back to the inscription on the Cross which was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek. The Latin language is still used today in the precious treasure that is the Traditional Latin ('Tridentine') Mass, in 'everyday speech' (much of English is derived from Latin), in mottos, in specialized fields, and in educational endeavors. It has been shown that the study of Latin brings many benefits. "And, Latin is truly the language of heaven!"

If you enjoy Latin, you may be glad to know that this full-sized (8.5" x 11"), tradition-minded publication features an assortment of activity types related to Latin (including: word searches, crosswords, coloring activities, challenges, fill-ins, spelling bee, quizzes, unscrambles, true/false, multiple choice, matching, cross-offs, circling, word associations, translation exercises, and more...), and treats of various topics (including: common Latin words, Latin language facts, Latin grammar, nouns & verbs, abbreviations, phrases / sayings / mottos, prefixes, cardinal numbers, grammatical gender, inflection, word roots, diacritics / accenting, pronunciation, Latin prayers / hymns, Scripture verses, Catholic phrases, and more...).
