You could use it as a mini-Rosary (mediate on the Sorrowful Mysteries only).

Yes absolutely. But I wouldn’t call it “mini” as it takes a little longer than the Rosary if you say the one I’m going to type below. I have a little book that I use in Adoration. It’s called Holy Hour With Merciful Jesus. I love that devotion! ❤️ I love Jesus!

Anyway, … Each decade has one sorrowful mystery. For instance, the first one being “The Agony In The Garden.” You would first ask the Holy Spirit to come through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, His most loving spouse. We would also ask Mary and St. Joseph along with the entire Heavenly Court to come pray with us. Then you would proceed to make the sign of the cross, then to recite the Our Father, Hail Mary and the Apostles’ Creed.
On the first large bead we would pray; "Eternal Father, I offer You in every consecrated Host, the Sacred Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your dearly beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, agonizing in the Garden, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.
We ask Our Lady and St. Joseph to present us and all they wish us to pray for, to our Most Merciful Jesus agonizing in the Garden, to gather up every drop of that Precious Blood He sweated so profusely at the sight of our sins and ingratitude - every beat of His agonizing Heart - every pain in every fibre of His crushed and mangled Body, and to offer it all for us to Our Eternal Father, to render Him - infinite glory and love; infinite thanksgiving for having made Our Lady Immaculate and St. Joseph the Guardian of the Immaculate Mother - and for having washed us so often in that Precious Blood in the Confessional in atonement for every contribution we and all mankind have made to the Agony by our sins, negligences and infidelites - and to obtain that in the future we may render Our Agonizing Saviour all the glory, love and souls, our sins may have deprived Him of in the past.
On each of the Ten Small Beads Say, V. For the sake of his sorrowful passion and Mary’s compassion, …
R. Have mercy on us and on the whole world.
At the end of the decade pray; V. Glory be to the Father Infinite Mercy,
and to the Son Infinite Mercy,
and to the Holy Spirit Infinite Mercy
through the Most Merciful Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
R. As it was in the beginning, is now and
ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Hynm: O Sacrament Most Holy,
O Lamb of God Divine, all praise and all
thanksgiving be every moment Thine.

Each decade is different with each of the Sorrowful Mysteries. Wow! I love that devotion. ❤️
I would type them all here for all of you 😦 but that would take me forever. You could get the book from Divine Mercy Publications’ website, 7th book from the top. 🙂

Beautiful, thanks Sandy, I am always looking for new inspiring meditations to the Holy Rosary.
 
I follow a number of devotions common to the Roman Catholic Church. I am Episcopalian and my parish is Anglo-Catholic, by the way. We’re “right up there” with you folks LOL! I say the Angelus three times a day, I carry a blessed Rosary and use it religiously (pun intended!!), I wear the Brown Scapular and the Miraculous Medal. If it has to do with the Blessed Mother then I’m there. I’m totally devoted to her 👍 . And I’m confident that my devotion has benefited me and will continue to do just that!

Of course it does, She’s your mother too. I always tell my non-catholic friends that Mary is the Mother of all of us. she loves all her children and wants them all to love her Son, Jesus. Jesus is not jealous of our love for His Mother. All of us put together could not lover her as much as Jesus does.
I am hearing that many of the Anglo-Catholic Episcopalians are considering reuniting with the Catholic Church. Have you heard that too?

Aw Julian, that’s great! I’m glad you have a devotion to our Blessed Mother. I can’t wait to know that you have become Catholic. ❤️ One day you will. I am positive of that. :yup:
 
Well, first of all Memaw, there has always, so far as I’m aware, been a number of people converting to Roman Catholicism out of the Anglican Communion, as well as people leaving Roman Catholicism to join with the See of Canterbury…that’s how close these Christian churches are in liturgy and belief! What separates us, as I can see it, is accepting the primacy of the Bishop of Rome, and the fact that there are those who have problems with the perceived “politicking” within the Vatican. I personally don’t see these problems ending any time in the very near future. Christian unity is a goal we’d all love to see an actuality however. I know you wonderful Roman Catholics do just as much as we Anglicans.

Until that day comes let’s keep on worshipping God our Father, giving thanks for the salvation that comes from Christ Jesus’ atoning death on the cross, making the best use of the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and honouring our Blessed Mother.

Guys, we may not have union yet but we are close, I know, and we can give God the glory that we have so much to share in common!!! 👍

I pray the Rosary and the Stations of the Cross. I love the Catholic prayers. I even sent my Rosay with a friend to get her Priest to bless it. I have been raised as a Southern Baptist. But…I am going to Mass this Sunday!! :extrahappy: I will be Catholic one of these days…the sooner the better!

Ooh… anyone who is dedicated to our Lady with the Rosary will certainly one day become Catholic. Please let us know when that important event takes place. Welcome home. I say that because certainly you seem to be more Catholic than many Catholics who are already here. You are in my prayers. :gopray:
 
Well, let me say this. As the lady said, a lot of Anglo-Catholics and others within the Anglican Community are thinking of converting to Roman Catholicism. The current rumblings within the Episcopal Church certainly had to have a part in that, and when you look at it carefully it has in large part to do with the ordination of gays and the Church’s views on homosexuality. It may be all well and good to love all men and women - after all, God does love the sinner and hate the sin - but for goodness’ sake let’s not for one minute forget the Old Testament and the unequivocal statement that such a sin is an abomination in God’s sight. If a person is willingly committing an abominable sin, should that person be admitted to Holy Orders? Folks, we are talking about some very serious things here and when a grave sin becomes acceptable in society and in some churches, we have to take a step back, look at what is happening, and ask ourselves how we got this way. Then we have to ask ourselves, too, whether we want our church to be a reflection of society or a beacon pointing the way to holiness, tthe way to obedience, the way to God.

Give me the beacon. God doesn’t lead people to abomination; his Son calls them to righteousness!

I just heard again last night that 400.000 Anglicans are seriously considering coming into the Catholic Faith. Reuniting with Rome.

You are soooo right, if we truly seek the Truth, and pray and let GOD lead us, HE will bring us to the TRUTH, HIS Son, Jesus Christ in the fullness.
 
:highprayer: Maybe I’m answering some of my own questions here, or preaching to the choir, I dunno…But! I said “give me the beacon” and I feel the Holy Spirit inspiring me.

I think I’ve got some deep thinking and praying to do this weekend. Meemaw, Sandy, everyone - pray for me as I listen to the words I’ve spoken and the words I’ve written.

I use a prayer rope…“chokti” Orthodox prayer rope each morning…I center using the “Jesus Prayer.” I also was given an Anglican “rosary”, which I use in the same way…

To be clear, that is not strictly “Orthodox” inasmuch as manifold Eastern Catholics, and westerners use it as well. Eastern Catholics “own” that too.

You are in my prayers and I will offer the Holy Mass for you tomorrow morning. I also have a Holy Hour in the morning so will pray for you there. God Bless. Memaw

Well while we’re at it, let’s not forget the Old Testament and the unequivocal statement that it’s an abomination to eat pork, or anything from the water that doesn’t have fins and scales, or birds, amongst many other things!

It was also an abomination to touch a woman during her menstrual period.

Please… If you’re going to talk about abominations in the Old Testament, let’s makes sure we acknowledge all of them instead of just singling out the ones we want to.

Asking gay people to force themselves to be sexually attracted to a gender that they aren’t naturally attracted to is asking too much. I really don’t care what the Old Testament says, to be honest. The OT is full of laws and abominations that no one follows anymore, so who cares? You can’t ask someone to change their sexuality to make you happy, or to make their priest or their family happy. It’s not something everyone can control.

We’re not asking gay people to do anything, Its God that is doing the “telling.” what should be done And it is also forbidden in the New Testament. They don’t have to answer to us. but they do have to come before God someday. Every one of us is called to be pure and chaste in our sexual lives. With the Grace of God it IS possible to control ourselves.
With your attitude, what DO you care about??

First it is not the American Episcopal Church that has the problem but a small minority mostly in the African church. Churches in the Anglican tradition are not bound by any rule or person. The council now meeting is not binding on any church. So don’t expect that there is going to be any change in the Church overall, because it doesn’t operate that way. We are sorely sad that some of our brothers cannot get away the homosexual issue that so breaks the Catholic church.
