Term 4, the year is winding down. Advent marks the beginning of a new liturgical year. This co-incides with Christmas craziness, so I’m leaving December out of my calculations here.

So, we have seven dates:

  • 18 Oct - Dies Irae v1-6
  • 25 Oct - Dies Irae v7-12
  • 1 Nov - All Saints - Dies Irae v8-end
  • 8 Nov - Amen dico vobis (communion antiphon)
  • 15 Nov - De profundis (offertory antiphon)
  • 22 Nov - Dixit Dominus (introit)
  • 29 Nov - The End - all the words

I already have materials for Dies Irae.

I’m contemplating bundling the print-outs into one PDF to get all the preparations done in one fell swoop. That would be music and a vocab list (about 20 words) for each session.

There is still the idea of looking at simple Latin sentences, to get an idea of how the language works. That’s where bible passages, Orbis Pictus and the Gospels Illustrated come in handy. I’ll see how much I can get together.
