Is there any reason we can’t pray and do reparation for both forms or all forms of idolatry, the putting or revering of anything before our God.
Sometimes, though, it is important to pray and do reparation for one particular sin that happened as in what is happening tomorrow.

Which is what I proposed in post #29.
 
It was probably a hoax perpetrated by Russian bots.

In any case, no. I’m not going to offer a scintilla of reparation for it. I don’t want people offering up for my sins, and I don’t offer up for others’. Their sins are not on my conscious neither are they on my soul. If God’s going to rain fire and brimstone down on us…well, there are certainly a whole lot worse things he could do that for. And guess what? He never has. Not since the New Testament opened up.

It isn’t that other people’s sins are on our souls but when do penance and reparation for others sin we bear the cross with Jesus and offer our sufferings, penance and reparation, in union with His sufferings for the good of others, the world and most importantly the Church.
And we do this out of love for our neighbor.

Ok, then. That makes sense and I’ll accept that. It’s a nice devotion but it’s not my bag.

As for tomorrow I’m still not going to because so far as I’m concerned no sin was committed because the Church hasn’t said so.
 
I thought it was an unfinished song by Bob Dylan that Old Crow Medicine Show finally finished in 2003. You know…

🎵 “Rock me Pachamama like a wagon wheel, rock me Pachamama any way you feel. Heeeeeey…Pachamama rock me.” 🎵

Reparation implies a sin.
A sin implies deliberate and full consent.
None of those involved has acknowledged idolatrous intentions with respect to this statue.
So I do not see the point in the ‘reparation’.
 
I printed the prayer and guide lines for the day of reparation in the event of a power outage and loss of internet.
I take this request seriously and wouldn’t think of joking about it
Joking about it is wrong.

Pope Francis himself even said the statues were of the Nachomama ( the Amazonian pagan deity). The Vatican even confirmed that the idols were not Mary or St. Elizabeth.

The fact of the matter is that idolatry is idolatry. when you put the Earth upon the same pedestal as God it is idolatry. And never forget that in the Book of Ezekiel the clergy also thought it was not such a big deal to put Idols in God’s temple, and look where that got them.

No that was actually very deliberate. I called it the Nachomama because
  1. she is not your spiritual mother, only Mary, the mother of God, queen of the most holy rosary, virgin most powerful, tower of David, is. (Nachomama is “not-yo-mama”)
  2. I do not use the name of demons least they come to harass me, per the advice of excorcists and scripture
[Exodus 23:13]
"Now concerning everything which I have said to you, be on your guard; and do not mention the name of other gods, nor let them be heard from your mouth

I agree that joy takes precedence over sorrow but imo it would be appropriate to make reparation for those sacrilegious acts. St. Nicholas punched Arius so it seems that imitating St. Nicholas in defending the Faith is a good way to keep the spirit of the Feast.

And on the Byzantine calendar, his feast falls in the middle of St. Philip’s Fast preparing us for the Feast of the Nativity.
 
Hello Mary 888.
I wish to apologise for my very uncharitable reply to your post which followed my initial one in the thread. It was wrong and I am glad that a further poster was able to encapsulate much of what I should have and wished I had said. I am not certain as to why I interpreted your post and responded in the manner I did, however I have my suspicions, and consequently I have sought removal of my post and think that a haitus from debate is necessary. This should also give me more time to reflect on certain things that I have disregarded lately and also accomplish some of the tasks that my wife has gently reminded me need completion…. Once again, I am sorry for my post and I hope that you celebrate St. Nicholas`s Day in the most appropriate way you consider.

Don’t tell that to the Byzantines and Ukrainians! It’s a solemn Holy Day! (Please Note: This uploaded content is no longer available.)

This is from the St. Nicholas Chapel at GCU Headquarters in Beaver, PA and is based on a true story. A miner, a lady and a boy are at the tomb of St. Nicholas to thank God and him for sparing their lives. 400 miners were told to go to work that day. About 200 said they would not work on the Feast of St. Nicholas and went to church. That day, there was a horrible mine collapse which killed over 200 miners. The ones who went to church were saved and the people called it the miracle of St. Nicholas.

Where did you get the idea that feast days are days that exclude mourning and repentance? Have you somehow got confused by the word “feast?”

I’m confused as to why you are asking Mary888 this question. It’s been explained several times on the thread that St. Nicholas Day is a significant day of celebration in a number of Catholic cultures/ countries, including in Mary’s church (she is EC, not RC).
