If Christ stood in YOUR living room, would you say...”What’s the big deal about your mother...she’s just a regular person...right”?

“No worries, he said all the right things.”

If you say so. I just like to understand what’s being said is all. But no worries, I think Heaven will be big enough for all believers.

Is it symbol, or is it a transformation?

Bread, wine AND Christ's body & blood. All are present and received.

I've never seen glass holders on the back of pews. The little glasses come in trays & you pick up a glass as you approach the alter. After you're done with it you put it back in the tray before you go back to your seat.

I think they make juice available to anyone who must refrain from alcohol, but it is an exception & everyone else gets about a thimbleful of wine.

My nephew puts his sons, 4 and 2 1/2, to bed each night with a decade of the rosary. It is marvelous to see the younger one try his best to make the Sign of the Cross. ;-o)

That is wonderful. I have a two year old as well ( nearly three), and it is a delight to watch her attempt the sign of the cross or genuflect before the tabernacle. They are uncoordinated as all get out at that age but the spontaneous emulation is pure joy to behold.

Those cards are guilded with a genuine nickle plated chain and have been personally blessed by the High Stakes Poker Priest!

Respectfully asked:

When did it become “ok” so to speak to ask for the intercession of saints who are asleep in Christ?

I’ve not been able to discern when this practice originated as it appears the apostles didn’t do this in their ministry as far as we can see in scripture..

Blessings.

Respectfully asked:

I don’t know so I’m asking, but is the Rosary “prescribed” for a lack of better word to do after confession to make reparations for sin or is that myth? If so, why is it done?

Blessings:

Respectfully asked:

Outside of the obvious (that we here typing to each other are alive on earth and can read our prayer requests of each other), how do you reconcile the issue of omnipotence. Only God knows all, sees all, hears all...how can the saints do this as well by hearing the multitude of prayer requests send simultaneously?

I look forward to your reply.

Blessings.

To: Suzy Quzy

Respectfully asked:

How do you reconcile the difference between Christ’s explicit instructions on how to pray when comparing a greeting the Gabriel/Elizabeth said to Mary? Is this an implicit direction that God, thru Paul, John or Peter, instructed us to pray to the saint by the greeting extended to the saints at the chruches in their epistles? No disrespect intended or “catholic bashing” I’m just trying to understand the Catholic point of view in layman’s terms.

I look forward to your thoughts.

Blessings.

You could put a bunch of the sacred prayer cards on a chain and then chant the sacred prayer card Prayer over and over again as you work your way through the chain.

Careful. You're getting awfully close to imitating a Methodist prayer rope, LOL.

    John Wesley also used the prayer rope, a rope on which he tied knots for use in counting a short Psalm prayer or the Jesus Prayer of Orthodoxy. Modern Methodist prayer books still recommend the making and use of such prayer ropes!

Good Grief!!! You Protestants are unbelievable!!! Don’t you KNOW that Jesus HIMSELF taught us the Our Father and that the Angel Gabriel and Elizabeth gave us the Hail Mary.? really, I;m getting a little tire of your ignorance.
