I'm really lousy at Latin, but then I've only been to a handful of Tridentine Masses, and we all know how much Latin there is in the Novus Ordo, don't we?
Here are two Latin quizzes. Don't worry, there's only ten questions on each, so no need to brush up first. I only scored 5/10 on the first and 6/10 on the second. Anyone who scores worse than me will be be subjected to the medieval penances. All ten of them.

Prayer by St. Thomas Aquinas for thanksgiving after Holy Communion
Workman's prayer to St. Joseph
Glorious St. Joseph, model of all those who are devoted to labor, obtain for me the grace to work in a spirit of penance for the expiation of my many sins; to work conscientiously, putting the call of duty above my inclinations; to work with gratitude and joy, considering it an honor to employ and develop, by means of labor, the gifts received from God; to work with order, peace, moderation and patience, without ever recoiling before weariness or difficulties; to work, above all, with purity of intention, and with detachment from self, having always death before my eyes and the account which I must render of time lost, of talents wasted, of good omitted, of vain complacency in success, so fatal to the work of God. All for Jesus, all for Mary, all after your example, O Patriarch Joseph. Such shall be my watchword in life and in death. Amen.

O gentlest Heart of Jesus, ever present in the Blessed Sacrament, ever consumed with burning love for the poor captive souls in Purgatory, have mercy on the soul of your departed servant Joe. Be not severe in your judgement, but let some drops of Your Precious Blood fall upon him, and send, O merciful Savior, Your angels to conduct him to a place of refreshment, light and peace. Amen.

Consecrated Hands
"Because out of reverence towards this sacrament, nothing touches it, but what is consecrated; hence the corporal and the chalice are consecrated, and likewise the priest's hands, for touching this sacrament." - ST. THOMAS AQUINAS, Summa Theologica

9 / 10...but that's just because of my exposure to the classics not because I am any good at Latin.
Where do you find this stuff?
9 / 10 again...to think I got ante / anti meridian wrong hurrumph.
Not enough beer, that's the problem.
Good job, Simon. You are herbey spared the torture of the medieval penances! Go have some more beer!
You did well. The Latin Mass wouldn't help much on these questions. I got 8 and 9. Never took a Latin class but I've read a lot of Roman writers.
Two things: I can't find those pictures of your cars, and how come there is no link to Rorate Coeli on your fine, fine blog?
Simon, do you mean the cars in the SSPX Fairy Tale post? They are there. OK, OK, I'll add the link to Rorate's blog! Thanks for suggesting it.
right....duh!
Do you know Hilary White?
8/10 on the first one and 5/10 on the second.
I'm a doctor. Not a Latinist.
You see, women do drive us to drink (more)! I cannot believe (John McEnroe voice) you put my blog up...I can't even...it's a work in progress.
will you please email me sometime I have to ask someone something about my blog...I am having serious problems and I can't resolve them.
cheers.

Dr. Bombay, pick your penance. I scored one higher than you on the second quiz. You know the rules!!
10/10. :-))))))))))))))))))))
10/10? I guess Anita gets to administer all the penances!
I guess Anita gets to administer all the penances!
I must vow never to use this awesome power for evil purposes.
Whew! Just escaped the penances; scored 6 and 7...made some dumb mistakes in retrospect.
8/10 on both, woooo! Actually, I know very little Latin, but my four years of Spanish helped greatly; you'd be surprised how many of the words are almost the same.
I refuse my penance! The second test was manufactured by Brits. Which means they're likely heretics.
Heretics are always trying to bring down good traddys.
You can't refuse your penance. Not allowed! Hey, we know a couple of pretty trad Brits, don't we? I wonder how they would do on the quiz?
9/10 and 8/10. I'm slipping...
9/10 on the first one, but I attribute it to good guessing, as I took one year of Latin 43 years ago.
This was fun!
FYI: Anyone who evene intimates I am a "brit" will suffer the lash of my tongue. :-)~
"British" is an artificial political contstruct designed to eradicate the English.
Honi soit qui mal y pense.
10 out of 10
9 out of 10
memento audere semper
I got 7/10 on the first and 9/10 on the second.
Not bad for an uneducated slob.
That was so fun! Thanks!
