Hi everyone, What is your preferred Latin missal? I have a St. Joseph that I'm using right now that I honestly don't like using. It has a weird translation (I think confraternity) and its a little too old. I thought about getting a different missal but it really seems like the two best missals...

Hello all, I was wondering if you all could give me some advice. I feel like God could be calling me to be a priest. I just have this urge to always be with Him in prayer, so much so that I stopped going to parties and stay home kneeling in prayer before a prayer shrine I have built in my...

Hi y'all, Recently my cat spilled water on my 1962 Missal and ruined the bottom half of it so it barely shuts and it makes horrendous shifting noises when I turn the pages on the missal. I was so devastated when this happened since I used that thing every day for my daily prayers. So, I...

Hello all, I was wondering if you could tell me where I could purchase or acquire a copy of the Catechism of the Council of Trent? I know TAN sells one for like 30-40 dollars but I wanted to see if y'all knew somewhere I could find one cheaper. Or, if any of y'all have an extra copy you...

I have this prayer book called "Daily Prayers for Orthodox Christians" and "A Manual of the Hours of the Orthodox Church" and I pray those IN ADDITION to the prayer rope. I pray the morning prayer in one of those books or from this prayer rule I found online, and then I pray like 50-100 Jesus...

Hi y'all, I was looking to get a 100 knot prayer rope because I have started praying 100 Jesus prayers at my morning and evening prayers. I currently have a 50 knot cheap wool one that works for me but I don't like having to go back around a second time since I find that distracting when I'm...

Thank all of you for your comments and suggestions for me. I hope when I get some more $$ I will be able to purchase so many books about Orthodoxy and the differences between the EOC and the RCC. On another note, I am not a type of person who would jump from being Catholic one day to talking...

Hello! I posted this already on another Orthodox forum so I thought I should repost it on here as well. :) Let me tell you a bit about myself. I was born, raised, and baptized Baptist. Through family members who were Catholic, I began a journey to Rome thinking it was the true Church of...

Hello, I posted this in the other Orthodoxy section on here as well so I could get all Orthodox opinions on this. I have recently been very interested in Orthodoxy. My journey from Protestantism led me a while ago to Catholicism which I believed to be the true Church established by Jesus...

Hello, I have recently been very interested in Orthodoxy. My journey from Protestantism led me a while ago to Catholicism which I believed to be the true Church established by Jesus Christ. Now as a Catholic, I feel that maybe I should check out Orthodoxy or eastern Catholicism to see if the...

Hello! I am a Catholic but I spend a lot of my time in meditation praying using a 50 knot chotki with the Jesus prayer. I have seen various chotki bracelets sometimes called komboskini but I am not sure where to order those from. If you all would recommend places to order these from or if...

I love St. Benedict as well!

:thumbsup:

Hi y'all, I was wondering if you could recommend me to some inexpensive but still nice mens rosary bracelets. Also, do you think it is okay to wear bracelets for guys? Especially rosary bracelets? And don't give me the whole rosaries are for praying thing because I pray the rosary at...

You are also ignoring the parts of the epistles that deal with the obligations here on earth to be Christian. It is not just "once saved always saved" but you have to life the lifestyle of God and do good works while here on earth. The epistle of St. James says that "faith without works is dead"...
