Good words, thank you. I especially liked your take on God not giving us more than we can bear, encouraging us to grow. One more rep. Bless you brother in Christ.
As a new convert, it took me about two years of looking into Catholicism to understand the LOTH history you just packed into ten minutes, and I still learned a lot of new things. Thanks!
Praise God for your interesting and most inspiring spiritual journey. My late dad was a Methodist minister and I'm consequently steeped in the Wesleyan tradition. Nonetheless, I have a strong affinity with the Eastern Orthodox church and have attended Divine Liturgy a few times. I subscribe to a podcast called "Light of the East" with Fr. Thomas J. Loya, the pastor of Annunciation of the Mother of God Byzantine Catholic Parish in Homer Glen, IL I note with interest that they use the Gregorian calendar and you seem to use the Julian calendar. Just a note - the sound volume on this video is very low.
This is a great guide and helped me get started with the Christian Prayer book. I skipped using the tabs since my version came with cards that have the Invitatory Psalm, the Canticle of Zachariah, and the Magnificat for easy access. I will probably buy some book marks for the office of readings and hymns as recommended here. Thank you so much for this. Edited for proper spelling
I was so glad to hear you compare the illustrations to the Good News Bibles from the 70s- I made that connection as soon as I opened my new copy of Christian Prayer
Thank you for going through this systematically. The Magnificat and Benedictus aren't marked as such so for anyone wondering just look up those prayers and set the markers where you see them.
I have seen many videos from both priests and lay people on how to use and set up the various books of the Breviary - and I must tell you, I have found this one to have been the most helpful by far - Ribbons, Tabs & Bookmarks...Brilliant!
These videos are so helpful! I’ve watched/read a lot of content trying to make sense of the liturgy of the hours... your videos helped the most!!! Thank you so much 🤗
Thank you, my friend. Yes: I miss praying together! But "praying with"... I've been comforted by knowing that so many folks are all praying with me, all around the world.
