Thanks, this looks just like what I was looking for.

fake edit: went down a Mass setting rabbit hole. We're using Mass of Redemption. I've also been to a parish where they've used Mass of Light before, which I like a little better. Organ only at both parishes.

I experience terrible anxiety sometimes. The 2016 election cycle brought it to the point of being unbearable at times. When I'm at really low moments I read homilies by John Chrysostom. I was feeling pretty gross about the inauguration tomorrow and I read through his Easter homily about the harrowing of hell. It gives me peace.
Not much of a coherent statement there, just thought I'd mention that.

I dunno, I was looking at maybe going to the Greek Orthodox church this weekend instead of RCIA and it's headed by a protopresbyter

I think that means like an archpriest or something, but I assume he's an android traveling back in time from the future ready to chrismate and commune infants.

There's an interesting parallel between Origenism and the Buddhist concept of the kalpas. Namely, the idea of a cyclical universe.

Anyway I don't have an astrophysics background (only math) so I can't really discern whether this is good science or not, but it turns out that apocatastasis may be right. Origen knew. Augustine lied, thousands died.

Well, considering the timing...the patron saint of shingles (St. Anthony of the Desert) just had his feast day. on the 17th.

Congratulations! You've been given a gift from God. Wear it well.

I had shingles six years ago, but not on my face. It is awful. My scars still hurt.

Offer some of it up for us!

This is a very odd, odd way of getting to a recurring universe. Very odd indeed. Typically, a big crunch idea is proposed. The thinking is beyond me here.

Your roommate should get vaccinated asap, chickenpox is dangerous for adults. I wish you a swift recovery!

Pellisworth

Thanks for the support and prayers, liturgigoons. My roomie is indeed getting vaccinated and maybe preventative anti-viral meds, the absolute worst thing I could do is give someone chickenpox.

My prognosis is very good since I went to a doctor early and have started antivirals, it will be a miserable week for me but so far it's just mostly extremely uncomfortable. We'll see how I sleep the next couple of nights...

I'll blame this on Trump being inaugurated since it started on that exact day.

edit:

Photographs of the early stages of rash on my cheek, behind my ear, and on my neck and shoulder. It's not that gross right now, but it's going to get a lot worse. Don't worry, I'm not going to post any more picture updates on the status of my pustulating face-sores.

Spoilered for slight eww factor:




Thankfully, it doesn't itch, there's just a mild burning/pain sensation. I caught this early on in the infection, thankfully, and I should avoid any significant complications. Sorry to hear about your lingering pain, Worthleast, I'm hoping and praying I don't end up with significant scarring or persistent pain.

St. Catherine of Siena is salivating right now. If you don't know what I'm talking about, uh...don't look it up.

Anyway, hope you have a swift recovery!

i thought you were going to an orthodox church today? :(:

The Phlegmatist
Nov 24, 2003
I did! Mass was at 8 AM, the catechumens (us) were dismissed at about 8:30, I talked to the dude who was doing the presentation today (he's an early church historian, which is my area of expertise, so that was a fun conversation) and then I bounced off to the Divine Liturgy since it's held at 10 AM.

It was incredibly beautiful and I had NO idea what was going on. And then three families invited me to go out and eat lunch with them. gently caress the phyletism, you Orthodox are pretty nice. At my parish they bolt for the doors once they hear "Mass has ended."

it's not phyletism! it's not like irish catholics are a different religion from the french or mexicans, it's just a different "feel." Now add to that a separate administration for each locality and there you go, that's all.

But what did he mean by that?

My parish traditionally holds a reception (basically Mass with dinner afterwards) for all the many volunteers being involved in the parish on the Sunday after the feast of St Vincent Pallotti. For me it was the first time today, and there was some ridiculously good food (wayyy better than at my last parish in Vienna) served by young cassock-wearing priests, and if my English is a little off today it's because of the plentiful beer I consumed. I love being home again :allears:

Welcome back to the Liturgigoon thread, friend.
I was invited to partake of the greater blessing of the waters of Theophany today, which, coming from a Congregational background, was an interesting experience. I saw this big basin of water, and thought there was going to be a baptism. The homily was very good, and during the lunch afterwards I had a very lovely chat with the Bishop who delivered it.

as i saw it, the priest/bishop in purple snubbed him (and rightly so), leaving his crozier in his right hand to forestall handshaking attempts. now that i look at it again your version works too, i guess

and i suppose the answer to your question depends on whether greeks are white :v:

yeah you're right, the black priest/bishop switches his crozier to his right hand to blow off Trump

I still maintain his suit is atrocious, everytime you see him just remember he's a super fat, old, and bald dude desperately pretending he's attractive to the ladies

it's terrible. he wears brioni suits, which cost about $3k-$5k each, but they're off-the-rack and i don't think he has them tailored at all after he buys them. (obama has his custom-tailored.) he's probably getting them too large because he believes this makes him look less fat, which is false. he also wears his tie too long and scotch-tapes the skinny end of the tie to the fat end instead of sticking it through the little loop in the back--he went to his own swearing-in like this.
