In Oremus—Latin for “let us pray”, prayers from the Mass and other beloved Catholic prayers, in both English and Latin, are accompanied by master copies of some of the Church's most beautiful artwork.
Young Catholics will learn to pray in the language which Pope Saint John Paul II said elicits “a profound sense of the Eucharistic Mystery” while exploring, reflecting on, and being inspired by studies of masterpieces of Christian art, from Fra Angelico to Bouguereau. This stunning compendium is an invaluable resource for young Catholics to use both at Mass and at home.

Great book for adults and children to use when learning to pray in Latin
I bought this book as a gift for my child to learn how to pray in Latin and have found my husband and I are enjoying the book as much as our child. The layout of the English and Latin prayers right next to each other is great for comprehending the translation. The book also has beautiful Catholic imagery throughout. This book would make a great gift for children and adults for any occasion.

Charming book but no helpful Latin accents.
Charming book with a good intro to common Latin prayers. I love the inclusion of both versions of the Confiteor. The use of illustrations after traditional master paintings goes well with the overall style and design of the book. I agree with some other reviewers that the price for the little book is rather steep. I would wait for a sale. Since longer Latin words are sometines more difficult to discern the syllabic stress, it would have helpful (especially for early learners of Latin) to include the accent marks.

Beautiful!
Oremus is a beautiful book geared toward children to help them learn the Latin prayers most commonly seen and used at home and at Mass. the illustrations are stunning. The Latin prayers are accompanied by the English prayers as can be seen in a few of the photos in the post. As an adult who wants to learn more of the prayers in Latin, I found this book to be outstanding and have no doubt children will learn so much from this book. The illustrations invite contemplation I voluntarily received a copy from TAN Books. All views are my honest opinion.

Great Intro to Latin for Kids
Contains all the prayers one would need to follow along during the TLM as well as some Marian ones, with Latin on one side and the English translation on the other. The accompanying pictures are a beautiful representation of real religious paintings.

Im not a young one¶
But this is perfect. The cover, the size, the colors and pictures are all lovely. I bought it mainly to bring back all the Latin that was hidden inside me for so long. And it worked. Like getting on a bike after years of not having having one. I can see how perfect it would be in the hands of a young one¶not having a missal of their own. And a great thought to put the Latin and English side by side for some of the prayers.
