  • 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 received my St. Dymphna Chaplet today and already had it blessed. I even prayed on it once.
How often are you supposed to pray on them per day? I assume the answer is how often you want to.
I knew something religious that my priest didn’t know. He asked me If St. Dymphna was a patron saint for the eyes and I said “no, mental illness.” He then told me she’s also for the eyes which I was fairly positive she isn’t, but I didn’t want to argue with a priest and especially didn’t want to find out later that I was wrong.
I came home and googled it. I was right.

I don’t know if all Chaplets have just the saints medal on the beginning or if some have a Crucifix but mine doesnt have a Crucifix, just the medal. Are we still supposed to make the sign of the cross when we start praying?

I do.

It’s a private devotion.

Yup! It has! :)
Does yours have a metal centerpiece of a rose? And If so, what is the image on the back of the rose? Is that Jesus, Mary or St. Dymphna? It’s so small I can’t tell, but I THINK it might be Mary.

No. It has St. Dymphna, and the other side has "pray for us." All the beads are blue, and it came with a prayer card to St. Dymphna.

Ok. I thought you bought the same one I did. Mine has a St Dymphna medal with”pray for us” where a crucifix would be and the centerpiece is the rose. It also came with a card that has instructions on how to pray the Chaplet.
Can you post a picture of yours? Mine looks exactly like the picture I posted last week. I got mine from Etsy. Where did you buy yours?
