Hello,
I have compiled some prayers for a personal prayer book and am attempting to translate them into Latin. I would greatly appreciate help in doing so. I'm not familiar with the differences between the various stages of Latin, but I would imagine that, for these prayers, Ecclesiastical Latin would be optimal. Nevertheless, I'd greatly appreciate any help. As you'll see, I've made an attempt at translation, but I don't trust myself nearly enough to put these permanently in the book. Please feel free to annotate any corrections as well; they would be very helpful in the learning process.
Thanks!!
Carlo
O my God, I firmly believe in all the truths that the Holy Catholic Church upholds and reveals, because you, the infallible Truth, have revealed them to her. In this faith I am resolved to live and die.
O Deus meus, firma fide credo omnes veritates quas Sancta Ecclesia Cathólica retinet et revelat, quia tu, infallíbilis Véritas, ea illi revelasti. In hac fide vívere et mori statuo.
O my God, relying on your promises, I hope that, through the infinite merits of Jesus Christ, you will grant me the pardon of my sins, and the graces necessary to serve you in this life and to obtain eternal happiness in the next.
O Deus meus, confidentem in promissis tuis, spero, propter laudes infinitas Iesu Christi, ut mihi dones remissionem peccatorum meorum et gratias necessarias...
O my God, I love you with my whole heart and above all things, because you are infinitely good and perfect, and I love my neighbor as myself for love of thee. Grant that I may love you more and more in this life, and in the next for all eternity. Amen.
