Rosary

[Wolseley]

I'm glad I could help, Stormy.

And you have nothing to feel foolish or embarrassed about. It is possible to mediate on the Passion without having it in Technicolor in front of your eyes. I also know of a woman who only prayed Joyful Mysteries, her entire life; she had a lot of children and I guess the Joyful Mysteries (dealing with Mary's motherhood) were things she could identify with more closely than the others.

Don't fret if you don't memorize the Hail Holy Queen.  It's actually an optional prayer said at the end of the Rosary.

I still have trouble with the Apostle's Creed, too. I keep on falling into the Nicene Creed out of habit from Mass.

I always keep two bookmarks in my missal -- one for the week's readings and one in the Nicene Creed section because I still don't know that part!

I was proud of myself when I was first able to say it in time with the other people (I kept messing up the beat of "one holy catholic and apostolic church") -- then I changed churches and the tempo changed!

I always say the Nicene Creed, but using 'I' instead of 'We'. I just like it better.

Tell me about it. It took me forever to 're-learn' the Gloria after we moved. Same words, different tune! And daily Mass still throws me off because the responses are spoken instead of sung.

I attend the chapel here on campus. We have a liturgical music program here so we get to learn several different versions of the Mass parts (Mass of Creation, Mass of Light, Missa Emmanuel, Mass in Rememberence of Joseph Cardinal Bernidin, etc).

Cool! You attend a Catholic college?

I go to the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, MN. I am definitely glad that I chose to go to a Catholic university because it has given me an opportunity to learn about the Church and nurture my faith.

What is really cool is Fr. Micheal Joncas (composer of "On Eagle's Wings" among many other hymns) teaches here and David Haas (another composer of hymns) is an alumni. It means that the liturgical choir gets some pieces composed especially for them.

No way, Saint Thomas? That's practically walking distance from my house. Drop me a line, we should get together and go out for beers or something.
