[@philipgermani1616]

When I was growing up and attending Catholic school, we always went to Mass on the Feast of St. Blaise to get our throats blessed, while kneeling at the Communion rail. As I recall, the priest prayed over us while two blessed candles were placed by our throats. It was beautiful and so memorable.

[@LeeZaslofsky]

When a person coughs or sneezes, Latin Americans say "San Blas!" -- St. Blaise. This is so much more spiritual than saying "Bless you!" because it reminds us that St. Blaise is the Patron Saint of the Throat. What about other body parts? Which saint is Patron of, say, the armpits? How about the big toe? Or the bellybutton? The traditional people knew which saint to call on when they had a pain or numbness (etc) in a part of their body. But now all that Knowledge has been lost, as we chase after the sinful and pornographic "thrills" of TV and the internet. Why doesn't the Pope give us a list of the Body Part Saints instead of talking so much about the climate and refugees?

[@yanayoriginals8498]

Because it is a matter of life and deathfor us who live in areas most vulnerable to smallest climate changes. Let the Pope explain himself or maybe, he don’t need to explain to anyone. May God bless us all and save our Church from the most evil issues, apathy and apostasy.

I think it's great that you're raising these traditions and bringing them to light. I suggest a few more graphics for these types of discussions--for example, to show what a brown scapular looks like, or a 5-fold one (which I've never seen), or other illustrations of what you're talking about. My parish practices First Friday devotions, and also offers Adoration Monday through Friday. I believe that we should bring back the rail during Mass for communion. I've started wearing a veil during Mass, and I think it's a beautiful symbol of internal reverence.

[@tinalettieri]

I can remember people giving my mother brown or green scapulars but even tho I'm 77 I don't believe we were given them and enrolled at First Communion. If we were, I was not allowed to wear it. My mother went to a Catholic high school and college and had an uncle who was a very learned priest but she considered objects in the house equivalent to amulets and idols. We did not have any Crucifixes or statues. I prayed the Rosary at school but we never did at home. In fact, we never even blessed our food, and to this day, it's been hard for me to be consistent in doing it. I just don't think about it. I just thank Our Lord that my father insisted on sending me to a particular parish school that wasn't our parish because he admired the pastor. We had Mass every day before school started. I was there for 6 years. It's where I received the Sacraments. I don't know what was going on in my mother's soul but it was nothing good. She was denied the Last Rites because the priest was too busy having his supper and despite it being a huge parish, this was our actual parish, no one else could come. But I remembered one of our wonderful Sisters from that elementary school telling us that if Last Rites weren't available, a sincere Act of Contrition would be acceptable. I led my mom in this on her deathbed and it gave her peace.

[@carissstewart3211]

Not to be cruel, but I wonder if the denial of the sacraments was a divine chastisement for her rejection of sacramentals. And yes, a sincere act of contrition is sufficient in that situation.

I know you are deeply serious about this, and that you are now performing ALL these traditional rituals and buying these products! Just like Jesus taught! "Verily I say unto you, arise and go to the store and buy a bottle of Lourdes water and sprinkle it around the house, to make it holy."

[@DrKozmotis]

The first thing that Satan and his minions will always attack is Our Lady and wherever she appears. "And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel!"

[@LeeZaslofsky]

Where did you get the idea that Satan always attacks Our Lady first? Did you make that up? The quote you mention is vague, and has nothing to do with questioning the reality of apparitions of the Virgin Mary, which the Church always questions very carefully before deciding whether the apparition actually occurred. "He will crush your head, and you will strike his heel." (Genesis 3:15) was written long before Mary or Jesus was born, and refers to events just after the Creation. This kind of distortion of the Bible's words is exactly what Jesus warned against when he pointed out that "the Devil can quote Scripture".

In the Eastern Orthodox Church, Wednesdays and Fridays are still fasting days when all meat and dairy foods are not eaten, only vegan food, as it has been from the early Church. Also, no meat, milk, eggs cheese, fish, or any other animal products throughout the whole of Lent. But, fasting in Orthodoxy requires prayer and alms giving with it, and fasting is not something done alone, but the Church fasts. In fact, fasting days cover almost half of the whole year. It is so sad that the Catholic Church lost this important fasting Tradition a long time ago.

[@dsonyay]

I agree. I’m a traditionalist myself. I hate change. Especially if it’s not necessary. I think the second Vatican council messed everything up. I think the church is changing things up to bring more people in and the are unintentionally driving people away.

[@karlheven8328]

I understand where you are coming from but you have to understand that the 2nd Vatican council was part of the effort to make Catholicism and modernity (not modernism) coexist. This was definitely something that needed to happen. Thus you can see the Views of Joseph Ratzinger change towards the 2nd Vatican council as it was being implemented. Things always change, I think we need to emphasize that there was a lot of change in the history of the Catholic change. BUT We need to understand the core things that can never change and that is the teaching based on the Bible.

[@worldofenigma1]

As a non-Catholic, I find the idea of 'scapular' very strange and I do not understand it. However, what I would like to know is whether Roman Catholics still take part in a tradition of washing each others feet, as mentioned in the New Testament. I read that some do it (on Maundy Thursday), but I don't know if that is still done. This was a tradition started by Jesus, but Catholics do all these other things that are not even mentioned in the Bible (like scapulars or the rosary). I was baptised as an infant in the Church of England and I do not know if any Anglicans or protestants do it, but I do not know everything. Would be interested to know if any Catholics on here do it. I think it would be a worthwhile tradition for Christians to engage in, from what I have been learning.

[@SuperFree06]

As an Eastern Orthodox Christian, I am familiar with fasting and sacrifices for Lent periods. We fast on Wednesday and on Fridays (except Feast Days). Prayer discipline devotions present me with little problem. However, Scapulars are a big problem for me. It seems to me that too many Catholics treat Scapulars like a magical item, which they rely upon far too much for salvation. Every Scapular is actually associated with some form of discipline which in itself assists our salvation. But too many ignore the discipline just because they think the Scapular will do the saving work.

[@clockworkcenturian]

As a Catholic and a scapula wearer, I agree. The scapula should be worn as an outward sign of an inward to devotion, coupled with an outward discipline. I think attitude is dangerous for all Christians. I had a Greek orthodox patient who wore an icon around her neck and believed without it some tragedy would befall her.

[@alicetruhlar2098]

Too many fail to be properly informed.

[@k24-z9e]

The orthodox church is the true church. Unchanged through history

[@SuperFree06]

The Orthodox Church has never taught or encouraged the wearing of Icons on the body, nor has it taught Icons worn on the body can save you from tragedy. Contrast this with Catholic teaching around Scapulas and so called Miraculous Medals. These teachings originate almost exclusively from apparitions which are at best not necessary beliefs to be a Catholic, and at worst, disputed as genuine by Orthodox Christians.@@clockworkcenturian

[@GTomFitzpatrick]

This was a wonderful discussion! I joyfully gave an involuntary thumbs-up when you got to Ember Days & Rogation Days. I have been observing them for a long time. I only regret that you didn't include the Holy Rosary, which could be a whole discussion in & of itself, and Eucharistic Adoration. In these days, it isn't necessarily easy to spend a Holy Hour in adoration, as most churches are locked up tight for security when Mass isn't being said. But if you find a church that is open, even without formal Exposition & Benediction, where you can pray before the Blessed Sacrament in private, embrace that opportunity!

[@TheCatholicGentleman]

@GTomFitzpatrick Thanks for the comment. I could not agree more. We can never get through it all and in most of our circles the daily Rosary and Adoration are not "lost" traditions, understanding that these terms are all loose.

My greatest REVELATION was the American English Mass. I have recently memorized part of the Greek-Latin Mass . It has the same meaning to me as memorizing any other foreign song or rithm. Only in the past 5 years from Utube have l learned an infinite religious resource. I can read the daily Mass Bible readings and that's all l get : 5 minutes of Catholic teaching. I watch/pray two different daily tv (Utube) Masses with same Bible readings but, different, but complimentary Sermons/Homilies, and l receive 20 to 30 minutes of meaningful Catholic practices.

Hi @karinclarkson4398, Thanks for the question. I will first say, it is incredibly unfortunate. To bring a point of clarity, we are now required to abstain from something of our choosing on Fridays. Something that would be difficult and thus allow us to be mindful for Christ's suffering, passion, and death in communion with the Church and her faithful. The abstinence from meat is one option that most all traditional Catholics stick with for various reasons. Fasting on Fridays, in addition but district from abstinence, is a great devotion and practice as well. - In Christ, John

Eye contact has gone down as autism rates have gone up. Autism has gone up as hyperinsulinemia has risen in pregnant women. Hyperinsulinemia has risen in the general population (and thus pregnant women as well) since we told the world carbohydrates are health food and sugar got a pass as 'just' "empty calories". We've poisoned ourselves population and world-wide through the food supply and through the blind support of the junk/processed food industries.

Is it also needed to fast from meat Wednesday to fulfill this enrollment for brown scapular? And Saturday also for the Blessed Mother? According to tradition.

[@TriciaPerry-ef7bi]

What does a brown or any color scapular have to do with the LORD JESUS CHRIST and the Apostles doctrine in the word of God?? I am asking because it seems completely different from what is in the end of God.

[@maryharrington8983]

@@TriciaPerry-ef7bi It is a tangible reminder of a spiritual commitment, a sacramental, blessed by a priest, as we are both body and soul, the body having senses we Catholics, practice our spirituality in body through our senses and postures as well as our will and intellect.

Just to add a point about “novena”… If you look at the number of days or number of novenas per day, they all add up to 9. 3 back-to-back novenas is over 27 day: 2+7=9. 3 x 27 = 81; 8+1=9; for 54 days: 5+4=9. That is, no matter how you slice and dice it, it still adds up to Nine; therefore Novena.

God DID choose to give us His Grace! "Our justification comes from the grace of God. Grace is _favor, the free and undeserved help_ that God gives us to respond to His call to become children of God, adoptive sons, partakers of divine nature and of eternal life." (CCC - 1996)

Great program. Could be better if you more clearly separated Catholic customs from real Catholic traditions which have been around over a minimum of 100 years. First Saturdays is not a Catholic tradition yet but a popular devotion....

[@stephezak1]

IMAGINE! ! Everything that was known the first 100 years of Christian Religeon: mostly old and new Testiment. Now we have the teaching and appearances of Jesus thru Saints like Frances and Faustina and Visitations to thousands of the Blessed Virgin Mary .

I would say, what ever you do in your religious life, look at the New Testament to see if there is a precedent for it.

[@tireddad6541]

I think there is a great deal of wisdom on tge USCCB change on fasting and abstinence. It did not do away with it. Actually it provides explanation and history. What struck me was the linkage of our prayer and fasting with the Liturgy. I want to ask my pastor to speak about that. We too often don't understand understand and somehow are not understanding it as related to the Mass and to other essential devotions. So they took away the penalty of sin and we jettisoned everything? Dumb. Exactly the opposite of what the Holy Spirit was asking the Church. More prayer. More understanding. More fasting and especially as lay people connecting this to our lives. But don't emphasize the removal of the penalties and never speak of what clearly was intended and inspired. The thing is any Catholic gentleman can understand. We can admit we need to pray and fast more. We can explore the history of fasting, the Scripture related, the link to the Liturgy, etc.

Of all the most holy sacrements to lose here in sydney we have not at all getting both , we get the body which has it all but it seems the catholic church has gone germ phobic and were still not recieveing the blood and in my heart once i swallow that wine concercrated it is our lord blood which is uncorruptable , and it worries me that we have lost the right to the challice of faith . I pray not but its looking happening at the moment .

I was a born catholic and even went to a catholic school for boy’s where we learned all our prayers and catechism. When I was 14 we became Jehovah’s Witnesses, and they taught me to read the bible and live by it. Now I consider myself a triune Christian, and love both the Catholic Church and the witnesses of Jehovah. What I don’t understand because it seems completely unbiblical is a lot of the Marian devotions like the ones you mention here. My focus in my faith is to praise God the Son, God the Father and God the Holy Spirit. I love Mary for what she is, the blessed Mother of our Lord Jesus Christ, but praying to her feels wrong to me. Might be the 30 years I spend being a active member of Jehovah’s witnesses.
