HEY GUNS posted:rosaries and prayer beads. i just bought some prayer beads (made with paracord lol) and i want to talk about 'em. post yours, post pretty pictures, talk about praying the rosary or the orthodo prayer rules that require beads, etc. I have 33, 100, and 300 Jesus prayer ‘ropes’ that are made of ebony (33) and olive wood (100, 300) beads. I use them to count the Trinitarian Jesus Prayer when I am having mental/emotional disturbances related to my bipolar because it helps me focus or simply give me a goal to reach. Otherwise, if I’m not swinging or anything, I don’t count I simply be in the presence of God. Oh, and I reserve my 300 ‘rope’ for retreats.

Thirteen Orphans posted:“Uh... hello.... I’m from the internet...” That's pretty much what my wife did last Sunday to Lutha Mahtin. I had told her how he described himself so I could meet up with him and show him the bell tower; when we got to church there was no parking so I dropped her and the baby off so I could find a spot and she goes up to him and says (verbatim) "Hi, I'm Slimy Hog's wife." Looking back at our text messages I'm still not 100% sure that Lutha Mahtin ever got my real name...

HEY GUNS posted:rosaries and prayer beads. i just bought some prayer beads (made with paracord lol) and i want to talk about 'em. post yours, post pretty pictures, talk about praying the rosary or the orthodo prayer rules that require beads, etc. I have a black wool prayer rope with 30 knots, and 3 beads breaking it up into 10-knot groups; poking out of one of the beads is the end of the rope tied into a simple cross without a tassel. It was made at an orphanage in Guatemala that my parish has supported financially and by going each year for around a decade. I used to use it more often than I do now, and when I do, I alternate between using it to pray the Jesus Prayer for each knot and the Our Father for each bead. Doing something more complex, personal and unique when I get to the cross. RE: that link: I know a priest who does iconography for different churches (including my own) and it's really neat to be able to recognize his work in a couple of those photos.

I'd appreciate prayers for a grant proposal I'm helping submit soon and for my students this fall semester (starts next Monday). We're fortunate to have a very large incoming class of new freshmen and are trying a new retention program this year, so hopefully the college will be growing. I will provide pictures involving animal husbandry and/or gardening as an offering of gratitude! edit: for what it's worth the grant proposal is for expansion of and student research on the college's bison herd - animal health, restoration of native prairie, cultural and spiritual aspects of bison.

anyway, sometimes (like now) i feel a deep yearning to think about religious subjects and pray more than i usually do, but i heard that there's a danger you can fall into prelest if you don't do this in communication with other orthodox believers and your church, to check things against them. my church is currently halfway across the world so i'm posting here with you all

Vatican II actually relaxed the requirements for being able to freely talk about private revelation without ecclesiastical approval and now there's a whole publishing industry of Charismatic Catholic weirdness, usually centering around Medjugorje.

the tradcaths whose blogs i've looked at don't believe in medjugorje, but the devout and weird Vatican II Catholics i know are all about it. the tradcaths are more into fatima, i think. but it's been a long time since i've been out of that world I never knew any Charismatic Catholics, but when i was in high school the parents of my two best friends were deeply devout and edging into weird territory. in retrospect I wonder if they might have been involved in that?

All I really remember is that there were apparently these kids working there, asking them these really intrusive questions. Not sexual, or anything, but beyond regular small talk. I'd have to ask them how much they remember. We had an extensive discussion on whether this had anything to do with the 37th parallel, which is apparently associated with the paranormal.

Probably, they'd be in the age group for it. We have a pretty vibrant Charismatic presence in our diocese compared to some others in the US but it's basically white baby boomers (mostly female) and immigrants who were used to that style of worship in their home countries. I've always found the history of Pentecostalism pretty interesting in general. How'd Azusa Street, which absolutely scandalized everyone in Los Angeles since blacks and whites were worshiping together and women were preaching, almost immediately spawn a denomination that banned miscegenation and wouldn't allow women to wear pants?

On a much heavier note, the child Andrew for whom I asked for prayers in the last thread died last week, so I ask for more prayers for him from those of you who pray for the dead. A little lighter of an aside: Does anyone else dislike the phrase "fell asleep in the lord"?

I am very sorry for your loss, I will pray for you and Andrew. I think “fell asleep in the Lord” is an excellent way to describe the Dormition of Mary, but that’s about it.

That's exactly what it means; it tends to be pretty common in Orthodoxy. I have nothing against it, though I haven't exactly taken it as my own. I still stick with "passed away" or "died." May Andrew's memory be eternal.
