I forgot to share this here but I hope you guys are celebrating it. Tomorrow is a national holiday here to celebrate All Souls Day. (((Halloween))) is not that strong where I live. I already lit my candles and said my prayers

my penance is to visit a cemetary 😳
@Helter Seltzer ☧ WHAT DID YOU DO
wasn't even my worst confession
but he was mentioning in his homily how we should be praying for the souls in purgatory and visit cemeteries while in a state of grace with no venial sin for plenary indulgence
he was saying the hardest part is being free of venial sin
Yes
So I was taken to a business by relative because he was going to fix some doors. and mass starts and 1 and 30 minutes. But I also tagged along to ask for work at the place where my relative can vouch for me . So no there isnt any work opportunities but my relative still had to fix the door. I didnt want to seem like an asshole to my relative by saying imma head out catch you later, I helped my relative fix the doors. I asked for a ride to mass knowing I was late. I arrived in time and my heart intact and rushed to church. I made it to the gradual after the epistle and before the gospel. Do I need to go to confession, I could of just been a dick to my relative and bounced when I saw it was an hour before mass.
maybe Im making excuses idk
I think you're good
cool Because as far as I know i didnt do this on purpose. so I got there on good terms. Kinda sad people who are catholic dont go to mass
This dude personally financed his own crusade against the Moroccan city of Oran "in which his religious zeal coincided with Ferdinand's prospect for political and material gain. A preliminary expedition, equipped at Cisneros' expense, captured the port of Mers El Kébir in 1505; and in 1509 a strong force accompanied by the cardinal in person set sail for Africa, and in one day the wealthy city was taken by storm."
He wanted to keep crusading but Ferdinand didn't want to
I had an Seven-Day-Advent tell me the bible confirmed dinosaurs
@MawLr he has a thlisp
yes
I made him into a sticker for whenever someone sends me impious stuff
The NO only works if the TLM has been completely removed from the collective memory of the community.
I’m sure most of you shill the TLM to your families and stuff but if most young Catholics know about TLM the NO will eventually die. Keep letting ppl know about the TLM.
Yes, but my family doesn’t seem to like ad orientem
Attending my first Latin Mass next week. Any thing i should know before going in?
dress real well
look like you got drip
Gon' need to buy fancier clothes
follow everyone along, sit near the back of everyone else, people are too busy worshiping christ to care if you mess up.
*show reverence everytime you pass the tabernacle by genuflecting, bow your head slightly when priewt enters in the very begining and leaves at the very end
*Domius Vobiscum: Stand up
if its sung mass and the chant is long, when the priest sits you sit.
* cross your elbows or dont go up at all for communion if not in state of grace. If there is like a mantel at communion rail have your hands folded under it
* Gloria exclesis deo:priest center missal right
*Creed: center after homily missal left
*if the priest "washes" his hands this is the lavabo its super quick it will mean nothing at the time for your first time
*First bell will signal the agnus dei (knell here)which then follows the next
*The bells are amazing to know where you are during the consencration(canon of mass where they consencrate the host which is very silent especially at low mass)
*word of advice if they have a missal
-intro: confession,is before they go to the altar
-epistle will be on the right, then the gospel(do the tiny cross here) will be known to you because the missal will be moved to the left,the gospel is on the left.
-homily/sermon will be maybe here
then creed
-long silence is probably is the concencrations
-follows pater noster
Then is communion the two readings after distribution is communion and post com.
-Final blessing and then Last gospel(tiny cross here)
TLDR just do what everyone else does
Real talk
-just geneflect evreytime you pass the tabernacle which is probably everytime you cross the middle of the church
-dont talk in the church(unless you have too)
-if theres a mantel at the communion rail your folded hands go under the mantel
-if in the state of sin or not in communion and you go up just cross your elbows like both hands on each shoulder this will be obvious and you will be given a small blessing
My lyft driver was Catholic
I asked him what Church he goes to and he couldn't answer.
I told him he missed out on All Saints day and that he should go back to Church
In a playful way of course
Gotta get these lapsed Catholics back in Church smh
lapsed catholics end up being scarier than non catholics
Yeah
That was when Ratzinger was the head of the congregation
