It's just something I'm occasionally moved to do. I learned Latin at school and I loved it, but we were never taught to translate into Latin, only from Latin which is a shame. I love the English language dearly, but just sometimes I like to express my thoughts in a different language. I expect there are errors all over the place. Let me know if you spot any.
...and no, it doesn't scan.
Domine Benedicte, Deus Pretiosissime, Christe,
qui sanguinem sacrum effudit,
Accipe dona nostra gratulationum et laudum
propter tuam per totas vitas nostras benevolentiam.
Quinam nos sumus,
ut ad terram venire, cruciatus nostros accipere,
Deligere viscera Matris Virginis
et ignominiam, mortem et sepulchrum pati digneris?
Amor tuus nobis in aeternum manet, in manibus tuis nos portas.
Nosne ex pulvere et argilla ficti,
Laudes tuas annuntiare possumus?
Immo, vero, necesse nobis est!
Maritus Ecclesiae tu,
certe cor eius tu, spes tu,
Fons Divinus Noster tu;
Voluntates cordum nostrum sicut tuas forma.
Consilia in tua flectes, Domine,
et amorem tuum in pectora nostra repone.
Ex mentibus nostris scoriam occlusam remove,
quoniam omnia hic quaesita ibi erint dedita.
Tibi sint nunc Omnes Laudes, Care Pater Potens,
Tibi dentur vitae nostrae, Fili
Tibi gloria tota, Spiritus ignis noster
Qui animas et mentes incendes. Amen.
