Ex-seminarians - O My Jesus prayer in Latin? STAS version?
« on: February 14, 2021, 06:17:39 PM »
I don't remember the prayer exactly -- but I remember enough so that the "other versions" seem completely foreign.

Long story short, I'd like to use the S.T.A.S. seminary version of the Latin "O My Jesus" Fatima prayer when we pray the Rosary in Latin (which we want to do, at least occasionally).

Does anyone have it handy?

I probably have it out in the shed, in my seminary papers box. But it's buried and would be hard to find.

Thanks for any help in advance --

Nostris, O Jesu débitis indúlge, érue nos ab ígnibus inférni, cœlíque portas univérsis pande, miséris præsértim.

I still remember it because I tend to pray the Rosary in Latin.  I did cheat, however, to look up all the accent marks.

Now, there's another version floating around out there also:
O mi Jesu, dimitte nobis debita nostra, libera nos ab igne inferni, conduc in caelum omnes animas, praesertim illas quae maxime indigent misericordia tua.

I doubt that there's an "official" version, and I bet that both are just translations by amateurs, since I don't believe this is any official prayer of the Church.

Ladilaus is quite correct about no official Latin version existing for the Rosary "Fatima" prayer. This prayer originated in Portuguese, and does not pertain to the normative prayers for the Rosary. Like Wojtyła's Illuminati Mysteries, it's inclusion in the Rosary is purely discretionary. Unlike Wojyła's Illuminati Mysteries, I have no scruple against its use and always include the Fatima prayer at the end of a decade.

BTW, who remembers the photocopied prayer sheets from STAS upon which the Rosary Prayers and the post-Rosary Prayer to St. Joseph were found? Or, remember the black, spiral-bound choral Office books?

This is what I learned.  I have been told that there has never been an official Latin version of this prayer approved by the Vatican.
