Latin. Mostly of the contemplative 'school.' I'm currently studying Orthodox practices and I'm finding, not surprisingly, it's mostly the same - with some Greek words. :)
Though as I said much earlier, contemplatives are not seen as mainstream in the West as in the East, or at least that's my limited impression and experience.
Oh, lovely. You must be familiar with Thomas Merton, one of my favorite Catholic contemplatives.

It's one and the same, except those "Greek words." :)

It's a culture that has been greatly lost or suppressed in the West, I believe, after the intrusion of Greek pagan philosophy into Western Christianity and the Age of Reason.
Thanks for sharing this.
