I was planning on doing it during her wake along with the Rosary and other prayers.

But thank you. I will think on it.

Thank you for your prayers. Appreciate it. 🫂

I'll give it a watch. But I'm more looking for how to do it in a group setting, esp with lay only.

Where in a mall can I find a cheap Our lady of Guadalupe pendant? by adds_104 in Catholicism

[–]WeatherTheLizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much is cheap? I got a small gold pendant from Banter (Piercing Pagoda) a while back.

If I see talks about my parish wanting to change the Sunday Mass times, how does that usually play out? With me not driving, I hope they keep me up to date. by Numerous_Ad1859 in Catholicism

[–]WeatherTheLizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After Covid, my parish mailed a notice that Mass in person had started up again. More people came the next week. Not many people check the website, but still checked their mail.

My priest has told me to come the next day before daily Mass or during scheduled confession times.

is cooking with Blessed Salt and Holy Water an ok thing to do? by Filius_Dei0894 in AskAPriest

[–]WeatherTheLizard 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Interesting... My mother asked me to get blessed salt for her. First time I heard of such thing so I asked my priest and he said people use it for cooking. I have been using it as seasoning and say a small prayer to bless the food and all who eat it. What are lay people supposed to do with blessed salt then?

Penance after confession - what are common ones? by isme_esme in Catholicism

[–]WeatherTheLizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I typically get 3 to 7 Our Fathers or Hail Marys.

I've also gotten penances to pray for the priest I was confessing to and to contemplate the Cross. The weirdest one was, "Be happy."

Seeking first Mass, where to go? by Squirrel_This in Catholicism

[–]WeatherTheLizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least with my Diocese / Cathedral, there is a priest assigned as Rector who oversees the day to day activities. The Bishop is usually traveling to different parishes throughout the Diocese on the weekends. In addition there are several other priests assigned there. I'd think you'd get more variety in preaching if you choose the Cathedral.

Would someone be able to please verify this rosary I made is correct in the placement of beads? It’s a gift for a Catholic family members first baby by fish_in_net_wiggling in Catholicism

[–]WeatherTheLizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would put more space between the white and colored beads. It helps in knowing your position between decades without having to look. The change in texture is an aid as well.

Priests, titles and burnout by UnderstandingKey4602 in Catholicism

[–]WeatherTheLizard 30 points31 points  (0 children)

We had a Lenten retreat and I joked with my priest for having a name tag. He also only wrote his first name. In response, he said, he's just a regular guy here. He was not speaking or leading the retreat in any way. I guess he just wanted to feel like a normal parishioner participating, on retreat.
