I can’t do that either. I remember stories and parables, and if I’m lucky I’ll remember which book it’s in. It’s all a journey. You don’t have to become a theologian with eidetic memory to be a Christian. You just have to want to pursue God and try your best to know Him. Pray and God will show you your path forward.

キリスト教になったら何章何節みたいなのでレスバするのきっとできんなと思う。 短期記憶がちっさすぎて、記憶できないからさ。多分死ぬまで聖書模写しても、内容暗記できないぜ。

@daoster @dorachan2se I see. Thank you for explaining. 🙏

@WayfaringBroad @dorachan2se A picture (crucifix, icon, etc) of Jesus, or Mary, that many Japanese Catholics were forced to step on to prove to the authorities that they were not Christian.

日本のカトリック信徒が1%未満の理由はこれもあります。鎖国だけが理由ではありません。この冒涜に対して犠牲が必要です。我々はこの逆をしないといけません。つまり祈りや犠牲の他に、聖体行列、聖母行列など多くのカトリックの信心業となる証が必要なのです。

@dorachan2se Thank you!

Regarding Confirmation: “Just as Christ, after His baptism and the coming upon Him of the Holy Spirit went forth and defeated the adversary, so also with you. After holy Baptism and the Mystical Chrism, having put on the full suit of armor of the Holy Spirit, you are to withstand the power of the adversary, and defeat him, saying, ‘I am able to do all things in Christ, Who strengthens me.’” ~ St. Cyril of Jerusalem

しばらくポストしてなかったけど、無心に編み編みしてました😂 nohana色違いで息子のキャップと娘のバケットハット！ これから両方に日除け布と顎紐付ける予定なんだけど、編むのはすぐ出来るのに縫うのは腰が重くて😂 途中経過ということで布無しでアップ📸

It's not often sung in Japanese Catholic churches, but the Gloria in the song "Yamato no Sasageuta" composed by Saburo Takada is very beautiful, so please give it a listen if you have the chance! youtu.be/JLVIv9oXBfo?si…

@HiroyaTsunekawa Your apron dress is lovely! It reminded me that I just saw this other apron dress in another post and thought, “this is so cute!” I’m jealous of your sewing skills. I can hand stitch, but for whatever reason using a sewing machine is difficult for me. T_T

今作ってるエプロンワンピースがすごくかわいい...。最近のXは感性が近い人に届くらしいので、素敵と思っていただけたら、いいねだけでもしてもらえたら嬉しいです。

@chikuchiku_1221 Not sure if there is a style called that, but it reminds me of Betsy Johnson’s style

日本以外にも「ロマンティックおばさん」みたいに言われるファッションってあるのですか？私は63歳ですがいつまでもロマンティックでいたい💖

When you condemn a fallen man, you condemn God Himself. If you see a robber, a prostitute, or a drunkard lying in the street, do not judge them, for the Lord has allowed their passions. Perhaps this is how they must find their way to God, so they may humble themselves, see their own weakness, know God, and repent. Are you virtuous? That is only because God is restraining your passions. If He were to loosen His hold on you, you might fall into even greater sins and perish. ~ St. Gabriel (Urgebadze) of Georgia

The Octave of Easter is an eight-day liturgical celebration that prolongs the joy of Easter Sunday, the Resurrection of Christ. It lasts from Easter Sunday through the Second Sunday of Easter, also called Divine Mercy Sunday. Octave means eight days, including the feast itself, treating each day as a little Easter or solemnity of the Lord. Every day within the octave ranks as a high-level solemnity, with focused Resurrection readings and the repeated Alleluia cry of victory over sin and death. It begins Eastertide, the 50-day Easter season ending at Pentecost, and emphasizes new life in Christ, like a new creation or great Sunday. The octave overrides other feasts, keeping full attention on the Resurrection of Our Lord. This structure allows the Church to savor the mystery gradually rather than limiting it to one day.

Often, the proclamation of truth is obscured by what we today call “fake news” — lies, insinuations, and unfounded accusations. Yet, in the face of such obstacles, the truth does not remain hidden; rather, it comes forth to meet us, living and radiant, illuminating even the deepest darkness.

#Orthodox and #Catholics unite every year in Dhour El Choueir, #Lebanon, celebrating #PalmSunday and #Easter together on the same day. To avoid division, the village chooses one common date for the #Resurrection, bringing the #Maronite, Catholic, and Orthodox churches together.

Do you know that during exorcisms, Saint Gemma Galgani is a saint, so powerful, that she assist exorcists due to the fear demons have of her. She is the patron saint of people suffering from back injury, headaches, migraines, and those struggling with temptations to impurity, May she intercede for everyone having headaches and migraines, today. Amen

I know there are obstacles with location, access, and culture. Maybe find an apostolic church like Catholic or orthodox so you can mitigate the cult-churches you’re talking about in other comments. And if none are physically located near you, maybe look at their websites and see if they stream their masses online so you can watch that way. Email their priests and see if there’s a way to be involved someway or give you guidance to your particular situation. I’ll keep you in my prayers hoping you’re able to find a solution and grow closer to God. And I’ll pray for the intercession of St. Philip Neri (the patron saint of joyful, Christ-filled community life) for you. 🙏

キリスト教に改宗したくてもさ、なんか色々どの宗派も小競り合いするじゃん？ もうさ、聖書と讃美歌と詩が生活にあればいいかなって感じになるのよ。 争うために神を信仰しているわけじゃないからさ。
