I know many people on this board want to be able to assist at Mass in Latin and I continue to pray for the Universal Indult so that the Lord can be worshiped joyfully by all His people. I, as a daughter of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, prefer to worship Him in my own language.

I have no problem with this. But let's make sure the words you learn and use at the Mass are an accurate reflection of the intention of the Church (in the Latin original) and not some social experimentation.

Ideally, the Catholic people everywhere should be able to be served in their own language where it is most effective, but also be able to be fluent in the universal Latin parts of the Mass that bind us as One Church. There's no reason all Catholics shouldn't be able to chant the Sanctus or Pater Noster in Latin.

Would like it easiet, would it not when English-speakers and Spanish-speakers go to the same mass? They have a common language of worship.
