Eris Discordia is pretty straight forward. It’s a reference to Eris, and to my religion, and it’s both the Roman and Greek names

Hesychios
Guest
Saint Hesychios the Priest, circa 400AD (dates uncertain)
He is an early Father of the Church and his wisdom, or advice (often short one and two line maxims) is featured in volume I of the Philokalia.
ON WATCHFULNESS AND HOLINESS
“*T**he more the rain falls on the earth, the softer it makes it; similarly, Christ’s holy name gladdens the earth of our heart the more we call upon it.”
*http://www.orthodox.pl/OrthodoxEng/Uczelnie/Images/196-vinietka2.gif
“I**ndeed, our true task is always the same and is always accomplished in the same way: to call upon our Lord Jesus Christ with a burning heart so that His holy name intercedes for us.”
*http://www.orthodox.pl/OrthodoxEng/Uczelnie/Images/196-vinietka2.gif
“If we have not attained prayer that is free from thoughts logismoi - assaultive or tempting thoughts]**, we have no weapon to fight with. By this prayer I mean the prayer which is ever active in the inner shrine of the soul, and which by invoking Christ scourges and sears our secret enemy”*
主耶穌基督，上帝之子，憐憫我罪人。

Years ago I was frustrated at an inability to sign up a Yahoo email, inspired by the numbers they often “recommend” at the end I picked some random numbers and turned them into a screen name. When I registered here I wanted something original but I couldn’t think of anything (not that I spent much time on it), so I revived this name in this form.
The numbers have absolutely no meaning whatsoever.

John_Lazarus
Guest
My first name is John – named for my uncle; my patron is the Beloved Apostle.
The second part – Lazarus – refers to my “resurrection” after an illness over Christmas that quite nearly claimed my life. I decided that I had to leave my old life behind, that the “old me” was now effectively “dead”. You can read the full story on this thread.
Before that, my moniker was “Ghoti”, pronounced “Fish”: “gh” as in “laugh”, “o” as in “women”, and “ti” as in “nation”. And of course the fish (ΙΧΘΥΣ) is an ancient Christian symbol. The Lord said, “I will make you Ghotiers of men…”
Yeah, I like to joke…

Cursilista
Guest
My name is for someone who has made a currisilo weekend. The Currsilo Movement is a renewal movement within the Catholic Church. Anyone interested in finding out more about this movement check out this website. It is the best thing that has ever happened to me.

Holy See Officially Recognizes Cursillos
VATICAN CITY, JUNE 11, 2004 (Zenit.org).- The Cursillo movement, a Christian renewal effort that started in 1949 in Spain and spread worldwide, was recognized officially by the Holy See.
This movement received the decree of recognition today during the course of a Liturgy of the Word, at the headquarters of the Pontifical Council for the Laity, presided over by Archbishop Stanislaw Rylko.
Among those attending were leaders of the movement’s four international groups, as well as bishops from several countries.
The Cursillo movement is present in 60 countries, with a following of some 5 million. The basic idea of the cursillo, or “little course,” is a three-day retreat for those seeking God to whom the fundamental truths of the Christian faith are proclaimed.
The first cursillo was held from Jan. 7-10, 1949, on the island of Majorca, the fruit of the commitment of Catholic Action youth who had made a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela in the Marian year of 1948.
The cursillos spread so rapidly. Within five years, cursillos were held in all the continents.
At a May 2002 meeting with Cursillo representatives, John Paul II encouraged the process of discernment that led to today’s decree.

Loboto-Me
Guest
Mine has ME scratching my head… or should I say searching for it?
This is a name that I gave myself when I first started on the internet. It’s a play on words obviously. It’s meant to describe how dense or silly I can be.
I decided to keep “Loboto-Me” on this forum due to the fact that I’m still learning my faith, and this helps other people see that I’m not one of those knowledgeable people that are often encountered here.
Now I’m not saying that I don’t know what I’m talking about lol, it’s just that I still have much to learn

WOW; very interesting. Thank you. A good Samaritian.“Highwayhound” is a moniker to describe where my dog and I spend most of our time. I bicycle to parts far and wide. My dog, Star, either runs along or rides on the trailer. I look for chances to help people as I pedal along the way. Soup kitchens, thrift stores, giving food to hitchhikers I meet, etc. are some of the ways I use my time. I only work to support my bicycling habit

Thank you. We all should take this idea from you and St Therese. God bless you.The way St. Therese the Little Flower advised us all to live: by offering every little sacrifice for our love of Jesus. And loving Him with a child-like love and trust. My long user name would be, “Little Flower’s Way to Love.”

Thank you for sharing. It may be straight forward but I’ll have to do a little research to understand when I get a some time. Thank you for motivating the learning process.

Great quotes. Thanx. A person who thinks great wisdom can only come from long oratory is greatly mistaken. God bless you.
