"Hear our prayer" = Exaudi depracationem nostram.

Exaudi = Hear (Audi also okay)

deprecationem = prayer (orationem maybe better)

nostram = our

I was under the impression that a deprecatio was an Act of Contrition or similar prayer acknowledging one's finiteness, mortality, and sinfulness and imploring God's mercy.

However, I don't seem to find verification of this. Latinists? Is this one of those "things you know that just ain't so" for me?

 

[Fright McKnight]

Nice finds guys.

 

[ByzantineDixie]

Thanks for all the info...

So would Audi orationem nostram be appropriate? Man I wish I had studied Latin in school!

Thanks

Domine audi deprecationem nostram. - "Lord hear our prayer".

No, Poly, deprecatio is rooted in the verb precari, to pray. Perhaps, modern usage has influenced your impression. Deprecatory originally meant prayerful or 'humble' but now means 'disparaging'.

de is an intensifier as ex is in exaudi. This comes from Late Latin which had a major influence on Medieval and Ecclesiastical Latin.

PERFECT!!! Many thanks for your help.

i think it is "ora pro nobis"

 

[Polycarp1]

i think it is "ora pro nobis"

Nope, that's "pray for us" -- appropriately addressed to our Lady or a saint.

 

[DatingSmarts]

oh okay

i think you're right about that now that i look back on it

I had somebody bring me a medal once with a picture of Mary holding a scapular on the obverse, and the initials "R.C.C.O.P.N." on the reverse.

He thought it meant something like "Roman Catholic Church, Order of Preachers-something."

I told him it stood for "Regina de Cor Carmeli, Ora Pro Nobis", or "Queen of Mount Carmel, Pray For Us."

You'd be astounded at the number of people who don't know that "I.N.R.I." stands for "Iesus Nazrenus, Rex Judaeorum", or "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews".

I miss Latin prayers. I used to know it by heart but I can't hardly recite it without looking at my cheat sheet

Pater noster, qui es in coelis, santificetur nomen tuum: adveniat regum tuum: fiat voluntas tua, sicut in coelo, et in terra. Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie: et dimitte nobis debita nostra, sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris. Et ne nos inducas in tentationem: sed libera nos a malo. Amen
