The last Dominus vobiscum was about all I remember, because it woke me
up around time to go home :)

"Emmanuel", indeed :).
I never took Latin (and I was astonished when I learned that my youngest daughter was
taking it in high school; I thought it had long disappeared entirely from the public
schools, but apparently not), and my upbringing was Episcopal not Catholic, so I never
experienced the liturgy in Latin. And I'm not sorry that so many old Christmas carols
have been translated to English. But NO ONE sings "Adeste, fideles" any more!
I do miss that.

Uh oh, maybe that's my problem :) I never learned any Latin other than the
little bit I heard in church as a kid, right before they decided to switch to
English. Dominus vobiscum.

I had to take Latin as well, and while I never used it directly trying to
communicate with anyone, it has been a great help over the years. Plus, it
makes me not sound as dumb as I really am.
