Te Deum - A Hymn of Thanksgiving (In Latin)
A hymn of thanksgiving:
Te Deum (in Latin)
Te Deum laudámus:
te Dóminum confitémur.
Te ætérnum Patrem,
omnis terra venerátur.
Tibi omnes ángeli,
tibi cæli et univérsæ potestátes:
Tibi chérubim et séraphim
incessábili voce proclámant:
Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus,
Dóminus Deus Sábaoth.
Pleni sunt cæli et terra
maiestátis glóriæ tuæ.
Te gloriósus
Apostolòrum chorus,
Te prophetárum
laudábilis númerus,
Te mártyrum candidátus
laudat exércitus.
Te per orbem terrárum
sancta confitétur Ecclésia,
Patrem
imménsæ maiestátis;
Venerándum tuum verum
et únicum Fílium;
Sanctum quoque
Paráclitum Spíritum.
Tu rex glóriæ,
Christe.
Tu Patris
sempitérnus es Filius.
Tu, ad liberándum susceptúrus hóminem,
non horrúisti Virginis úterum.
Tu, devícto mortis acúleo,
aperuísti credéntibus regna cælórum.
Tu ad déxteram Dei sedes,
in glória Patris.
Iudex créderis
esse ventúrus.
Te ergo quǽsumus, tuis fámulis súbveni,
quos pretióso sánguine redemísti.
Ætérna fac cum sanctis tuis
in glória numerári.
Salvum fac pópulum tuum, Dómine,
et bénedic hereditáti tuæ.
Et rege eos,
et extólle illos usque in ætérnum.
Per síngulos dies
benedícimus te;
et laudámus nomen tuum in sǽculum,
et in sǽculum sǽculi.
Dignáre, Dómine,
die isto sine peccáto nos custodíre.
Miserére nostri, Dómine,
miserére nostri.
Fiat misericórdia tua, Dómine, super nos,
quemádmodum sperávimus in te.
In te, Dómine, sperávi:
non confúndar in ætérnum.
V. Benedictus es, Domine, Deus patrum nostrorum.
R. Et laudabilis, et gloriosus et superexaltatus in saecula.
V. Benedicamus Patrem, et Filium cum Sancto Spiritu.
R. Laudemus, et superexaltemus eum in saecula.
V. Benedictus es, Domine, in firmamento caeli.
R. Et laudabilis, et gloriosus, et superexaltatus in secula.
V. Benedic, anima mea, Domino.
R. Et noli oblivisci omnes retributiones eius.
V. Domine, exaudi orationem meam.
R. Et clamor meus ad te veniat.

About this site
This blog is, for the most part, a church flower site directed toward traditional Roman Catholics. It is intended to provide volunteer church flower arrangers with relevant useful information, not to provide photographs of designs that can be copied. The content should also be helpful to anyone decorating a devotional space in their home, especially if they wish to change the decor in keeping with the liturgical seasons.
About contemporary life
We live in a time of vulgarity, irreverence -- and worse -- even in high places in church and state. We must not join in this. We need to frequently turn our minds to Our Lord, Our Lady, the angels and saints, and everything we know to be good, beautiful, and true.
We need to sanctify our homes in every way possible.We need statues, art, candles, music, books, and flowers that call our minds to higher things and refine us.
We need etiquette in our homes as well as in public places. We need to observe the proper order of things.
I hope that readers of this site will adapt information found here about church flowers to their "oratories" at home.I hopetoo that many will honor Our Lady with a Mary garden, whether it be outdoors or on a windowsill or table top. And I hope that our Queen will inspire us to remember that we are only as good as we are in private when we think no one is looking and forget that all of Heaven can see us.
