First you should read a book called Greek and Latin Roots of English to find out how specific words for into English.
There's a lot more Latin and the Greek is more nakedly put there, while the Latin blends in like a squirrel in a forest.
Then learn traditional Latin Anglican names for the Psalms even if you can't read the full Latin yet. Miserere mei, not Psalm 51. Abyssus abyssum invocat, not Psalm 130. Ave Maria is not just the name of an aria, but a common prayer.
(I mean as an American you would know that Psalm 23 is called just that as the King James takes precedence, and everyone memorizes this particular Psalm).
I mean New Age religions do this too. Masons know that virtus junxit, mors non separabit. Wiccans have the Leviter Veslis.
Familia Romana is an awesome book for learning Latin. And the app Legentibus both for learning and pronunciation (and actually has audios of Familia Romana!)

Greek too. The book Climbing Parnassus makes such a good case for why Greek and Latin are actually the most important subjects to learn.

And while we're at it, recreate the Roman Empire. civis Romanus esse volo.
