O Lord
I am trying to memorize the ordinary parts of the new translation of the Mass. The point of this page is to try to sort out when the translation adds an "O" and when it does not.
It is one thing to say, "The Latin requires this translation." I think it is something else entirely to say, "We want these phrases to be sonorous."
