O Domine,
Dona mihi serenitatem accipere res quae non possum,
Fortitudinem mutare res quae possum,
Atque sapientiam differentiam cognoscere

Well Serenity Prayer is brooding I guess :thinking:

God,
Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference

Not the bigest fan of this version tho’; it is bad in several ways (the first line is missing the word “change”; the infinitives are not good Latin; the verbs in the relative clauses should be subjunctive; and the word choices are mostly unidiomatic translationese)
I prefer:

O Domine, dona mihi animi aequitatem, ut quae mutare non possim, clementer feram; ac fortitudinem, ut quae mutare possim, mutem; ac sapientiam, ut haec ab illis discernam.

So replace serenitas, which is mostly used as a description of weather, with a more idiomatic phrase animi aequitatem “serenity of mind”. A little looser, but probably more natural Latin, would be aequum animum “a serene mind”. For “accept” in the sense of “endure without struggling”, the usual word is fero, often with some adverb such as clementer “gently”. And for “know the difference” a more natural Latin expression is something like “tell the former from the latter”, which is what haec ab illis discernam means.
To be freer yet, I think it sounds better with the order of the first two parts reversed
So:

O Domine, dona mihi fortitudinem, ut quae mutare possim, mutem; ac aequum animum, ut quae non possim, clementer feram; ac sapientiam, ut haec ab illis discernam.

It has a more… natural flow, don’t you think?

Okay, that was a bit “poof” for my brain, but it’s quite a decent explanation on the other hand, for anyone who has some actual Latin knowledge (unlike me who has forgetten it since uni…)

Well thanks anyways :sweat_smile:

Well… That doesn’t sound like the most impressive voice acting in all honesty… Still cool to notice the language, though.
