Paint the Town Red on Friday Night

Be like me:

On a Friday evening, ditch getting a date to hang out at a monastery with a monk for voluntary research purposes. While you're at it, go to a vespers populated by an abbey full of monks, a random guy who couldn't figure out where to sit and cute old lady who was practically hugging her rosary.

Magnificat anima mea Dominum;
Et exultavit spiritus meus in Deo salutari meo,
Quia respexit humilitatem ancillae suae; ecce enim ex hoc beatam me dicent omnes generationes.
Quia fecit mihi magna qui potens est, et sanctum nomen ejus,
Et misericordia ejus a progenie in progenies timentibus eum.
Fecit potentiam brachio suo;
Dispersit superbos mente cordis sui.
Deposuit potentes de sede, et exaltavit humiles.
Esurientes implevit bonis, et divites dimisit inanes.
Sucepit Israel, puerum suum, recordatus misericordiae suae,
Sicut locutus est ad patres nostros, Abraham et semeni ejus in saecula.

Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto.
Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper, et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.


Latin rocks my world. Just in case you were wondering, this is the Magnificat

And for those of you less spiritual...

Quidquid latine dictum sit altum viditur
