About this listen

We are living in difficult times, both in the Church and in the world. Now more than ever, ordinary Catholics must fight for the salvation of souls and personal sanctity. Latin is the universal language of the Church, made holy when it was nailed to the Cross with Christ (John 19:19–20). It connects us to the worship of Heaven and strengthens our prayers.

In 2017, I wanted to pray the Rosary in Latin but couldn’t find a podcast to follow. So I made one. It has since grown into a full library of Rosaries, Litanies, Chaplets, and other traditional prayers. I’ve also created Latin learning guides and printable resources, available through Patreon, to help you pray with clarity and confidence, whether on your own or with your family.

This is about restoring Catholic prayer, reclaiming sacred tradition, and forming a movement of families praying daily in Latin for the salvation of souls and the renewal of Holy Mother Church.

  • St. Alphonsus Liguori Meditation: The Love of Jesus in the Most Holy Sacrament (Audio Only)
    May 15 2026

    St. Alphonsus Liguori’s meditation on the Most Holy Sacrament invites us to contemplate the love of Jesus in the Eucharist, where Our Lord remains with us even to the end of the world.

    In this episode of The Latin Prayer Podcast, we read Meditation Number One from St. Alphonsus Liguori’s Octave of Corpus Christi: “The Love of Jesus in the Most Holy Sacrament.” This short Eucharistic meditation reflects on the institution of the Blessed Sacrament, the presence of Christ in the tabernacle, and the call to adore Him with faith, gratitude, and love.

    Although this meditation belongs to the Octave of Corpus Christi, it can be prayed and reflected upon at any time of the year. It is especially fitting for Eucharistic adoration, visits to the Blessed Sacrament, devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and meditation before the tabernacle.

  • Learn the Latin of Scripture on Church Authority | YT Catechesis (Audio Only)
    Apr 17 2026

    Learn the Latin of Scripture on Church Authority | Acts 20:28, Hebrews 5:4, Titus 1:5

    Learn the Latin of Scripture and see what it reveals about authority in Christ’s Church. In this episode, we examine key Latin verbs from three passages, Acts 20:28, Hebrews 5:4, and Titus 1:5, to understand how sacred office is given, not taken.

    This episode is a Scripture-focused catechesis using the Latin text to show: - How the Holy Spirit “placed” overseers (Latin verb examined in context) - Why “no one takes this honour to himself” - What it means to be “appointed” to office

    The Latin is explained line by line with attention to grammar and meaning, so you can see why self-appointment is not envisioned in these texts.

    If you value this style of learning, consider supporting the work and getting access to deeper formation and resources on Patreon (linked below).

    In the Patreon-only deep dive, we explore how the earliest Christians recognized and spoke about this New Eve typology long before the Reformation. Find it on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/thelatinprayerpodcast

    Welcome back to another episode of YouTube Catechesis, where we look to scripture for corroboration on the titulos languages. Pontius Pilate inscribed "jesus christ" on the cross in "biblical hebrew", "koine greek", and Latin, highlighting their sacred use. This episode emphasizes the grammatical precision of these ancient languages, offering insights for "language learning" and a deeper understanding of "new testament" contexts.

  • Why the Traditional Latin Confession Feels Different (And What It Does for Your Soul) (Audio Only)
    Apr 13 2026

    Traditional Confession vs Novus Ordo, what actually happens in the confessional, and why does the traditional form feel so different?

    A side-by-side PDF comparison of both forms is available on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/thelatinprayerpodcast

    In this episode of The Latin Prayer Podcast, we walk through a real confession experience that reveals the depth of the traditional rite of Confession. This is not a question of validity, the grace of the sacrament is real, but a careful look at what the traditional form does at every stage.

    We examine: - The priest’s prayers before you even begin speaking - The role of precision in confessing sins (number and kind) - The hidden prayers said during your Act of Contrition - The full weight of absolution: Ego te absolvo - The final blessing applying the merits of Christ, Our Lady, and the saints

    This episode is a guided comparison to help you understand the structure, theology, and spiritual intensity of the traditional confession. It is not merely a difference in form, but a deeper expression of how seriously the Church treats sin, mercy, and healing.

    A huge thank you to my Patrons!
