    Why do you love the Eucharist?

    "Jesus said to them, ‘Very truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will raise them up on the last day; for my flesh is true food and my blood is true...

    Why do you love the Eucharist?

    I suppose I believe in the 'Real Presence' of the Eucharist. Anglicanism has people believing in it as a symbol, and other Anglicans also believe in the 'real presence.' Basically, what 'Real Presence' means is that the Eucharist is not just a symbol, but a chance, a moment to be intimate with...

    Saints in the Catholic Church

    I am studying Anglicanism, and I guess Anglicans commemorate, memorialise and have Propers for different saints, depending on their sense of holiness and love of Christ. But there is a difference between "Saint Anthony, pray for me!" and "Saint Anthony, please help me find my keys!", and so...

    Yesterday was the commemoration of George Augustus Selwyn, the first Missionary Bishop of New Zealand (1878). From "For All The Saints," an Anglican Canadian publication. Almighty God, hear our prayers and supplications as we remember your servant George Augustus Selwn, and enrich your...

    Here's a prayer for Fridays, from the Book of Alternative Services (BAS, Canada): Almighty God and Father, your beloved Son willingly endured the agony and shame of the cross for our redemption. Give us the courage to take up our cross and follow him in newness of life and hope. He...

    Old Catholics

    Old Catholics are, well, Old, lol. While the sedevacantists are still waiting for this miraculously new Pope to bring back the Latin-rite Tridentine Mass and what they see as 'liturgical abuses.' Have you tried going into Anglo-Catholic parishes (of TEC) instead? I'm somewhat aligned, more or...

    Collects! Kontakion! :D

    LOL why not? I just like to keep it short and sweet! :yes: Heck, even the Catholic 'aspirations' are fine! Any kind of short prayers that help us all enter into our blessed hope in God is wonderful. Here's an aspiration by Saint Kateri Tekakwitha before she went into the presence of God...

    What to do when fasting?

    I was a little confused too, LOL. I thought Lent was over! XD Next year, I am actually looking forward to practicing Lent. I actually would like to start 'Vegan Fridays' (since I am already vegetarian) and I will try to go vegan and do more charity during Lent 2014!

    “Christianized” mysticism

    We do not need to go outside to find that there are Christian ways to go inward and seek God. Devotions such as hesychasm, the Rosary, Lectio Divina, the Angelus, prayers written by the Saints, the Bible, the Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament, the Daily Office, reading Christian literature...

    Here's the Collect of the Day for this week, from the Book of Common Prayer (Canada 1962): ALMIGHTY God, who hast given thine only Son to be unto us both a sacrifice for sin, and also an example of godly life: Give us grace that we may always most thankfully receive that his inestimable...

    This is really good! Keep it coming! Since I was born Catholic, my Confirmation Saint was (and still is) Saint Kateri Tekakwitha. Her title is the Lily of the Mohawks, and she came from the 17th Century in the Americas. Her feast day is April 17 in Canada. Lord God, Thou didst call the...
