Introduction and asking for help

Josheph68 · Oct 20, 2020

I don't really have too much friends, I lived in a lot of countries, traveled a lot, etc...

And currently I don't have access to a Church.

So, I can't speak with priest, but God can listen to me and His son, and I think if I pray regularly, and read His words that can help me.

Another question:

Can I wear my rosary, under my t-shirt? I want to carry it with me always, to feel God, and to have the opportunity to pray no matter what place I go.

Well some people frown upon it as some use it as a fashion accessory. But in the Latino culture it is quite common. I do not have issues with people wearing under their shirts as long as they are treated like the sacramentals they are.

I have only one "christian" buddy, and we didn't seen each other for a while, and the guy is a little odd.

He claims that he believe in God, but there is a strange tattoo on him (among the many) a name "Samael". When I ask about that he said it's an angel, but I googled it the google says Samael is the angel of death...

He's a chopper-fan with full of tattoos, so it's not so odd in that culture of having death symbols, like skulls and other things on them.

Never heard of it!

Well it’s great he is a believer. I just think some Catholic guidance would help a lot right now.

I'm not familiar with the angels myself, I know only Michael and Gabriel.

Josheph68 · Oct 20, 2020

Yeah, he's a good guy, always helped me when I was in trouble.

Josheph68 · Oct 20, 2020

Thank you so much for your help Michie!

God bless you and your family!

I just have only one question before I go to sleep (and pray of course).

Currently I don't have a rosary. So if you say to Lord's Prayer 3-5times and then I tell Him about my feeling, ask for guidance, etc... is that okay?

And can you write down to me the prayer for St. Michael?
Protection for evil is something what is really important to me.

You can say 10 Hail Mary’s and an Our Father and pray to God as you’d like. Remember, God knows your heart.

Here is the St. Michael prayer:

St. Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do thou,
O Prince of the heavenly hosts,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan,
and all the evil spirits,
who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls. Amen

Thank you!

The Devil and Satan aren't the same?

I thought they are... am I wrong? And what about Lucifer is he Satan or the Devil? He was the serpent who decieved Eve?

Ahh... sorry I just have some much questions... I just started to read the Old Testament yesterday and do not know a lot of things.

Yes they are the same.

You think about the Devil and Satan? Then who is Lucifer? The Bible says he's an angel. Is he evil too? Angels aren't the servants of God?

No there are fallen angels that fell from Heaven with Lucifer/the devil/Satan. Many believe they are the demons of today. They all rebelled against God.

Josheph - take things s l o w l y

I know you are keen to learn - and this is good - but take little steps forward

Michie · Oct 20, 2020

Devil

The name commonly given to the fallen angels, who are also known as demons

Devil

Josheph68 · Oct 20, 2020

Interesting, but I heard from a lot of people that The Devil and Lucifer are not the same, and that Lucifer was an angel who tried the faith of Adam and Eve because God commanded it to him.

So is it not relevant that Satan/The Devil (as you said they are the same) and Lucifer are different?

You can read the Catechism of the Catholic Church online to guide you.
