Trying to figure out what a daily prayer life means or looks like. It’s been informal for too long, I need the formal side.
I think it’s going to be one rosary and the guardian angel prayer, at least to start.
@OrthodoxOrigen@HeloiseDePierre He allied with his local fascists for the purposes of the civil war, but never let them lead him. He did do some dictator-ing and persecution though, and that’s never what you want to see.

It’s literally saying portions of the Bible while reflecting on portions of the Bible!!!!
That’s what the Our Father, Hail Mary, and the mysteries ARE.
@pondering_this The name changed 3 years ago. Right around then, a ton of people left the platform for alternatives, and most of the people who left were on the left-hand side of American politics if that helps explain the shift. I didn’t use it enough earlier to know, but it does seem angry.
@SteveSkojec@musicelitist I think that’s a really interesting and wise view, the idea that your faith was built on a flawed base. I really hope you can build again, and I’m glad you’re thinking about your faith. I’m not the most trad, but I’ll be here to welcome you back if you return. 🫂 ty for sharing
@SteveSkojec My faith had a big focus on Fatima when I was younger, but I saw it as one of the more hopeful things with relation to hell. It’s a Fatima prayer that we get “and lead all souls to heaven, especially those in most need of thy mercy” from. It felt very “dare we hope” to me.
@HeloiseDePierre I took her as my confirmation saint. She was both personally inspirational to me, and I wanted to have an aspect of femininity connected to me.
I had to write a letter to my bishop to ask permission since it was a cross-gender selection, but he granted me permission. 🩵
A special plenary indulgence is available on August 1st and 2nd each year!
Here is the story of the "Pardon of Assisi":
In July 1216, while praying in the Portiuncula chapel, St. Francis saw a vision of Jesus and Mary. When asked what he desired, he requested a full pardon for all who entered the chapel with sincere repentance and confession. Jesus granted it, instructing Francis to seek papal approval. Pope Honorius III granted the request—now known as the “Pardon of Assisi.”
Originally limited to the Portiuncula from the evening of August 1 to sunset on August 2, this plenary indulgence was later extended to all Franciscan—and eventually all Catholic—churches.
To receive the indulgence (from noon August 1st to midnight August 2nd), one must: visit a Catholic or Franciscan church with devotion, go to Confession and Communion within 20 days, recite the Apostles’ Creed and the Our Father, pray for the Pope’s intentions, and be free from attachment to sin.
This extraordinary grace, born of divine mercy and Franciscan humility, is available each year—not only for ourselves (the living), but also for the souls in purgatory (the deceased).
@FrMatthewLC I mostly agree, but I did stop reading them when Pope Francis said they’re best avoided so you never even get tempted by them, like not reading your horoscope in the paper, he said.
As you say, the core is if you believe it, folks just have to be prudent and have self-knowledge.
