I transcribed and translated a Catholic Segen, a kind of activating prayer, from the 16thc Thalbach prayerbook. Here I provide Part I and an assessment of *how* the prayer works

Instead of babbling, read each morning, noon, and evening, even if it's just one or two pages from the catechism, prayer book, New Testament, or Bible. Reading a passage is better than doing nothing. #reading #bible #catechism #prayerbook

A blog post today on the Seelengärtlein (Hortulus animae), one of the hugely popular prayerbooks of the 16th century. Both a bit about how to find copies and a bit about indexing the thing. I love me a good spreadsheet! Oh, and there are woodcuts. But the Hellmouth is from a different print...

Silences And Sounds

I met with the #ProspectiveParishioner earlier this afternoon. She wanted to know where I/we stood on social issues, asked about Communion, my rosary, the difference between Rite 1 and Rite 2, and Communion.
We had a nice chat and I sent her off with a #PrayerBook to peruse.

I would just like to point out that the extra “h” added mid word as an adjunct to the “ck” is ruining my typing forever.

“junckhfraw” (= jungfrau, virgin)

Over and over and over again

I had to look up the regular spelling; I no longer know it in my bones

My first 'unboxing' post is up on the blog! Not reviewing a high-tech gadget but a #breviary. 🙏 To each his own, I guess 🤣

I went to Orthodox Church today and someone gave me “A Pocket Prayer Book for Orthodox Christians” Containing Daily and Occasional Prayers together with Prayers for Confession and Holy Communion and the Divine Liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom according to the use of the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America!! I’ve never been given a present for #Lent before, what a great way to start the liturgical season with this new little book!
