White scapulars for lay Dominicans. Just ‘cause.
It’s been moistish in central Virginia. Usually pretty dry in August though ...
Which begs to ask where is this belief coming from? Could you identify it's origin?
Looks like ‘Justmythoughts” boogied for now....
I’m out for dinner ...
Interesting how the catholics left the thread...maybe will be back. But this guy sure has some strange teachings...just asked him what the origin is...maybe he’ll answer later..

“I guess my point is the walk we take to Him can have diversions along the way but I will always think that I could have known Him ‘all that time’ from the day my journey started”
You describe exactly how I felt (feel) when I finally woke up and KNEW what had been right there all along. Thank you for your testimony. Hit home for me.
Bring them...
From where; to where?
I am very happy that you shared your story.
I got chills when I read what happened at the dining table.
I was in a Bible Study on a Wednesday night when I was born again. It had been a long struggle and many people were praying for my salvation. I didn’t know that at the time. Their prayers were finally answered. They had been diligent!
It is good - very good - to share our stories. That’s the most important part of a believer’s baptism: A public declaration of God’s power to change a life.
May God Richly Bless you, my beloved.
... will in no way precede those who have fallen asleep.
The dead in Christ will rise ...

Scripture????
I don’t think so.
How does the Rosary incorporate Mary into prayer?
I’m not sure I understand the question. We ask for her prayers. We speak words of praise to her and ask her, “et Iesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui, nobis post hoc exsilium, ostende.” [And, after our exile, show us Jesus, the blessed fruit of your womb.]
But the soul of the Rosary is “meditation” on 20 different topics,(in groups of 5) the “mysteries.” And how people meditate is an individual matter. The last time I meditated on the Annunciation, for example, I thought mostly about the wonder of the “rational animal” and life beginning at conception.
I hope that’s kind of responsive.
It is; and thank you!
But I've always heard, "to pray the Rosary" and never "meditate" -- I was just seeking clarification because of that. Plus part of the text I've read involves asking her to pray for the person "meditating" the words.
Just seems odd when one can go directly to God himself.
Thanks for the clarification --

I think you can figure that one out old cow, from Heaven to the Earth where they will get new bodies fit for eternal physical living ... this corruptible must put on incorruptible. If God will bring with Jesus those who have died in Christ, then those who have died in Christ will need to be somewhere in the neighborhood of where Jesus is now, before coming here in the Air to get the Bride and the bridesmaids who are ready.
Absolutely. Only God is omniscient and capable of hearing prayer. Seems a shame to waste all of that time and effort when God is accessible directly!

The answer to that question will answer the first part of the question. If it's too hard for you to answer directly, just let it go. Most will understand.
There is no need to post an oblique non-answer to such a simple, straightforward question whose answer is illustrated by the Holy Spirit suddenly in those listening to Peter's sermon, even before he finished preaching in the house of Cornelius.
Ungggh. Aristotle... You're the life of the party! And Anselm?? Over BEERS? I know... Live music... UP loud.
