Tag: Sister Act

Here’s something fun from ChurchPop, just to perk up your day…

Update: I was listening to the Sister Act’s classic rendition of Hail Holy Queen and there were a few Latin phrases I realized I couldn’t quite make out so I dug around until I found the lyrics. Those phrases come from another Marian hymn, O Sanctimissa:

Mater amata, intemerata
(Beloved mother, pure/chaste)

Virgo respice, mater adspice
(Caring virgin, watchful mother)

Oh, and these are interspersed with a phrase found in one of the standard parts of the Mass:

Sanctus, sanctus Dominus
(Holy, holy Lord)
