It is! There are also lots of parts that are repeated and it’s broken up into chunks so likely I will memorize lots of chunks but not exactly the whole thing haha. To be a bishop in some jurisdictions you have to have sooo much memorized like all the psalms and more. I will not be a bishop of course but I’m just saying haha

You posted one I’m very fond of!! Saint Teresa of Avila’s feast day is coming up very soon too! October 15th!! I love nuns

Ohhh another Catholic/Orthodox prayer I like a lot but sometimes skip some parts of it is https://www.catholicculture.org/culture/library/view.cfm?recnum=139

You have deep dived into an endless ocean! Infinite amount of prayers to learn 😂 🙌🏻

I have all the prayers of the rosary https://www.vatican.va/special/rosary/documents/misteri_en.html#How_to_pray_the_Rosary and various other chaplets and similar prayer rules using beads/knotted rope as tools. I have a lot of prayers that were written by saints memorized. I am not very big on memorizing scripture to any sort of exactness but rather try to read it very frequently so that I’m more and more familiar with it overall I definitely have parts that I favor though haha

I said this prayer multiple times a day everyday for awhile and it got me through some really hard times and it’s short so not too difficult to memorize:

Grant mercy, O Lord, to them that hate me, or oppose me, or wrong me, or slander me, so that none of them may suffer any evil in any way - whether in this present age or in the age to come - on account me, an unclean sinner. Cleanse them instead by thy mercy and protect them, O Good One, by thy grace. Amen.

I am working on memorizing this currently https://www.akathists.com/the-most-holy-theotokos/joy-of-all-who-sorrow/

And all the prayers of the Divine Liturgy!

I will have time after I go to church today!!

Busy day today! So grateful that I was able to go to vespers! I am going to stuff my face now with 🍔 🍟 and 🥤 and 🍊 and 🍎 and then go to bed 😴 goodnight my nostr buddies 💜💜💜

My go to psalms are these two! I dont always say the whole psalm sometimes I just say bits and pieces of them to myself

Let me get back to you with another reply about other memorized prayers and passages because I have a lot that I like!!! So many!!! I am too sleepy right now to put what I want to say though 😴 don’t apologize for tagging!! I am honored!!

I wanted to go to NostrValley and then I got sick with COVID but now I’m fine but also unprepared to attend #shucks

I am not kidding. I also find this commentary comforting. I prayed to Christ Jesus to deliver me from my abusive mother and stepfather and he did. He helped me obtain orders of protection against them so I am protected both divinely and legally. I said Dear God help me! Save me! And He did! I owe my life to Him alone! All praise the King of Glory!

Thank You #Jesus

Luke 14:26

#christian #biblestr this verse is very comforting to me

Thank you because there’s definitely some people on nostr that have raged out at me for saying it works great nostr:note183872kqsuqdkdtxk3jman4adega0kmupvlxr5nz289h86e98y4kqkz8gge

Monastics do not receive the sacrament of holy orders. That is only deacons, priests, and bishops. Taking vows to be a monastic is unrelated to the sacrament of holy orders. The sacrament of holy orders is also not necessary to enter seminary programs.

I’ve read your replies a bunch of times and I’m sorry I don’t understand what it is you are saying 😭

That’s beautiful. What do you mean holy orders? You were discerning ordination?

Ohh I have actually briefly visited this #Catholic monastery before and I wanted to join but alas I was compelled by Christ to convert to #Orthodox instead. I still have a lot of love for the Carmelites in particular though #realnuns 🤎 https://youtu.be/OVNsNs58v0o

I don’t really understand why Roman #Catholic women do this corny stuff when Anglo-Catholics and Old Catholics already ordain women to the bishopric and priesthood. #Orthodox Catholics #OrdainWomen (very few!) to the diaconate and even ordained one woman in Africa an archdeaconess. It’s just hard for me to take this seriously but then the feminists get mad at you for not taking their corny campaigns seriously enough... This was spotted in Rome recently

It took me forever to find it streaming free somewhere but I found it on a piracy site 🏴‍☠️ https://www.lookmovie2.to/movies/play/1690234977-le-grand-silence-2005# #fullmovies

#Catholic looking forward to watching this thank you! nostr:note1qm3jwqtc9qcr3xtv92cmv3a00uh5x9a977fde2ag65h8akg4zyqqstkr6p
