So, Gal, does this mean you’ve moved out of Florida, or is it just that you’re gone from home for school? Also, how did you meet your guy and do you plan to continue your friendship throughout and after his mission? I need all the gossip!! LOL

Hey there,
I moved from Milwaukee in October ‘09. I’m now living in Algoma, Wisconsin. A small resort community on Lake Michigan 25 miles east of Green Bay (Go Pack!!). I needed to consolidate my two offices into one because current business does not require maintaining two offices. Also, my Mom is 76 years old and lives there with my 88 year old stepfather. They are obviously going to require some “assistance” in the next ten years or so, and we figured it would be better if I maintained my home in the same area.
I’m also maintaining a long distance relationship with my dear Tony (6 year anniversary last month). That is a bit difficult, but I do visit Milwaukee weekly and he comes to visit frequently as well. But it is SO much different than living together, lol.
I’ll tell you more about the area I live in and what’s shaking in my life in a future post.
Love,
Koo

Holidays, plural? Were you going to post on ones beyond Christmas? :)

I may not have gotten back to you on a couple of earlier questions.

2And who even made these people saints???

The canonization process has varied through the years, gradually becoming more rigorous. It was instated, as I mentioned, to honor heroes of the faith (usually martyrs, particularly early on) and to draw strength through their example and through the communion of saints. Technically, we use the term “saint” just as you do, as a reference to all baptized Christians. We denote the capital “S” as a title of honor. Many saints, particularly early in history, were recognized more locally in various dioceses (bishoprics). They gradually became more universally known, and to help identify them (among other things), they were often tied to specific roles based upon something distinguishing in their lives. The canonization process became more rigorous partly because of this wider acknowledgment, and partly to avoid the possible scandal of having someone honored officially as a Saint who had some real black marks in the final parts of their lives. (I say “final” because many Saints had quite sinful early lives, but reformed through the transforming power of Christ.) You see, to be a part of the proper Communion of Saints (those on earth and those who died in God’s grace), they would need to be destined for heaven. God is the judge of that, and so the Church merely does the best it can to read the signs of God’s judgment (hence the required attribution of at least 3 miracles to the Saint).

4.What exactly is the diffrence between a prayer and a psalm?

Catholics typically only refer to the official Psalms from Scripture as psalms. I believe it has a wider application, though, as poetic prayer usually meant for song, and especially when sung accompanied by a harp. All psalms are prayers, but not all prayers are psalms.

Not bad, Gal. Kabbalah, however, is quite complicated, and wiki really doesn’t do it justice. Lemme see if I can find something a little more usable.

Right. Constantly, in fact. Prayer is (from a Gnostic perspective) a constant communication with G-d. The structured is important, but it is equally important (if not more so) to try to keep that “contemplative” feeling all the time. It’s more about realization of the presence of G-d than begging him for favors.

Man. I’m glad you guys worked out your differences. I was feeling like I was going to be put in the incredibly weird position of defending Catholicism. Which I’ll do, but…it’d just be strange.
We call Mary “Sophia,” BTW, because our view of her is somewhat different, and based Kabbalistically on the Sephirah Binah. Sort of the universal Mother, in a sense. Translated, Sophia means “wisdom.”

Hope you’re doing better, Koo.

Glad I could help!

I will admit that far too many Catholics are unfamiliar or uncomfortable with unstructured prayer. This is a poverty that the Church has been working to correct in many ways. However, so many structured prayers are so wonderful that many Catholics choose them in preference to others, because through them we focus our hearts and minds on many of the most poignant things, and because with them we can pray in vast community very easily. There is something wonderful about praying together with both immediate companions and the millions of other Catholics we know are praying the same prayer—even at the same times, during prayer campaigns. Further, these prayers have helped many Catholics pray much more deeply through meditative prayer. The Rosary in particular has been wonderful for me in this; it is structured so that the decades of “Hail Mary’s” are intended primarily as time measures, during which we meditate on the great Joyful, Sorrowful, Luminous, and Glorious mysteries of Christ’s life and ministry. These sorts of prayer are a rich, beautiful, and powerful tradition that I hope you look into more and find helpful in your own relationship with God.

okay, you explained things better this time. It makes sense, still don’t agree with it exactly but I get it now. Thanks so much Arandur! :)))

EDIT: I was reading this book just now called “How to work with angels” it’s pretty intresting, but that’s besides the point. In the book it talked about prayer being structured like the hail marys & etc. or unstructured in which you speak the deepest longing of your soul. And it was like an epiphany to me, about this whole thing about vain repetition. It goes on to say that some jewish mystics believe that repeating prayers is the true meaning or prayer “without ceasing” as it says in 1Thess. 5:17 And I was just awed by this, cause I have never looked at it in that perspective. And now I see it in a bit of a diffrent way. Structured prayer is a good thing, but it’s also important to have unstructured prayer & to actually have a conversation with your Heavenly Father :))) once again thanks Arandur for the explenation
