What’s understanding got to do with it? God understands. Mass is the Holy Sacrifice, not a training session. Latin serves multiple purposes: timelessness, universality, stability, continuity. And yes, mystery. Worship is supposed to be an encounter with God. When you do your best to suck out the sense of mystery, how authentic can that encounter be? You want to worship a god you can understand? It would be smaller than you are.

I like to pray the rosary in Latin. I find it helps me concentrate more
