Regina Caeli

Apr 7, 2013

While many Catholics are familiar with the Angelus prayer, fewer know the Easter Anthem Regina Caeli. This prayer replaces the Angelus for the Easter Season, from Easter Sunday until Pentecost.

While it can be recited in English, this is one of the few remaining prayers that is still commonly sung around the world in Latin. It is simple to learn. You can pick it up easily with the help of this clip:

Queen of heaven, rejoice, alleluia:

For He whom you merited to bear, alleluia,

Has risen, as He said, alleluia.

Pray for us to God, alleluia.

Unbridled ambition is problematic and resentment is exhausting. Love, generosity and forgiveness really is foundational,

Rote learning was a norm in my primary school days, repetition of the times tables, two times two equals four, three times two

so simple

So simple that children who naturally and naively live with open eyes and ears get it, when we adults too often miss the point.
