  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I have a book of Chaplets that I find fascinating.


Have you seen it?
I think I did! I haven’t ordered it yet! :)

I’ve never heard of it before. Tell us about it.
I didn't want to beat Riley to it, but it appears as though it's basically the Introduction to the Rosary with a twist.

You say the Apostles Creed.

Then you say the OF 7 times,

the HM 7 times,

and the GB 7 times.

I could be wrong.

Are you referring to the Medjugorje Peace Chaplet?
Not to be a downer but isn’t Medjugorje unapproved by the Church?

Technically, yes. But I see nothing wrong with this devotion. It's only prayer.

I have not heard of this Peace Chaplet. There is a Chaplet called St. Michael which I think is very underrated and I wonder why it doesn't rival the Rosary in importance.
I've prayed that chaplet once before. It's been many years, though.

I ordered a St. Dymphna Chaplet last night. I’ve got a dumb question, though. Is a Chaplet instead of praying a whole rosary or……what exactly is it?

Also, my St. Dymphna Chaplet isn’t red, green and white, they’re all clear beads. Does that matter?
The color of the beads usually don’t matter. If the colors are not used for aesthetic purposes they usually represent something as a reminder to pray for. Such as Fulton Sheen’s World Mission Rosary

Each color on the Rosary represents a different area where the Church continues its mission of evangelization:

  • Green: for the forests and grasslands of Africa.
  • Blue: for the ocean surrounding the Islands of the Pacific.
  • White: symbolizing Europe, the seat of the Holy Father, shepherd of the world..
  • Red: calling to mind the fire of faith that brought missionaries to the Americas.
  • Yellow: the morning light of the East, for Asia.


****************
You might find this helpful about the differences between a rosary and a chaplet.
