Oremus Pro Invicem

A reader asked, over at Mark Shea’s blog, whether the name of the site should be “Oremus” instead of “Oramus”; and the answer is no, it shouldn’t be.  “Oremus” means “Let us pray”; and this blog is titled “Oremus Pro Invincit” because it’s really for people who have caught or are catching the Oramus vision.  The “us” in “Let us pray” is those of us who have done so.

“Oramus”, on the other hand, means “We pray”.  This is meant to be a descriptive statement.  What do we do?  We pray.  It’s also meant to be a perscription, a statement to live up to.

It so happens that the domain name “oremus.org” was taken already, when this site was registered; but I believe we discovered that after the fact.
