I am a novice at praying the Latin Rosary. I have been listening to and praying along with Archbishop Cardinal Burke's Rosary in Latin (that's pretty much the extent of my "formal" Latin instruction). Anyhow, I was wondering why "mentibus" is used in lieu of "cordibus" in the prayer at the end of the Angelus? Can anyone help me?
Great question! Mihi is correctly pronounced with a very harsh H more like miki. It was at one time spelled michi and that became the tradition retained with mihi. It is also practical, as is the harsh H in general--and the Roman culture & liturgy is marked by practicality--since without it, mihi would just sound very much like mi (another word); it is the same with nihil: properly pronounced nikil. I hope that helps!
Thank you so much! God bless this work!!!
You're most welcome! Thank you for your support. Oremus pro invicem!
Memorized.
Unto the next one.
Deo gratias
God bless you brother

AD MAJOREM DEI GLORIAM

Mihi or miki?
