Cool Tools for Catholics

Prayer-Style Checklist

2011-12-31T12:20:00.000-08:00

Do you get restless or distracted when you pray? Perhaps your form of prayer does not match your preferred "mode" of giving and receiving information. Try the following: choose all of the following communication modes that work for you:

___ A. Auditory (You are alert when listening to lectures, speakers, homilies)
___ B. Auditory [Music] (You are alert when listening to music, CDs, choirs)
___ C. Reading (You are alert when reading books, magazines, the Bible)
___ D. Reading [Aloud] (You are alert when reading books and articles aloud)
___ E. Visual (You are alert when looking at paintings, sculptures, photos)
___ F. Audio/Visual (You are alert when watching TV, movies, and plays)
___ G. Writing (You are alert when typing, journalling, drawing)
___ H. Speaking (You are alert when speaking your thoughts aloud)
___ I. Moving [Postures] (You are alert when prostrating yourself, kneeling, standing with arms raised)
___ J. Moving [Walking] (You are alert when pacing the room, going for a walk)

Knowing your preferred modes of giving/receiving information can give you ideas for ways to pray that work for you:

A. Listen to Scripture/homilies through online video or audiobooks. Or listen in silence for God's still, small voice.
B. Put on some Gregorian chant, sacred polyphony, or other sacred music in the background.
C. Read Scripture, or the writings of the Saints, or the Catechism.
D. Same as C, but reading aloud.
E. Pray before a home altar with a crucifix and candles. Place before you some holy cards, or images of sacred paintings, or statues of biblical figures.
F. Watch a few minutes from a movie like The Nativity Story or a documentary like Catholicism, to put you into a prayerful mood.
G. Pull out your journal and write (or type) your prayers. Or if you like to draw, draw.
H. Speak to God aloud. Recite a traditional prayer, or make up your own. Speak to Him as to a friend, or as to a king.
I. Kneel, or stand, or check out St. Dominic's 9 prayer postures.
J. Go for a prayerful walk. Or pace around the room, praying aloud or reading a few lines from Scripture and pondering them.

Hopefully that gives you some interesting new ideas that will help you to remain alert during your prayer time.

Where to find the daily Collect online

2011-12-29T13:55:00.000-08:00

The Collect, or Opening Prayer, is a theologically packed prayer that happens at the beginning of daily Mass and at the end of Morning Prayer. But where to find this beautiful prayer online? There is really only one place I know of that provides it consistently, and that is the Liturgical Year page at Catholic Culture.

Today's Collect is:

O God, who gave the Martyr Saint Thomas Becket the courage to give up his life for the sake of justice, grant, through his intercession, that, renouncing our life for the sake of Christ in this world, we may find it in heaven. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

Monte Carlo prayer-request management system

2011-12-28T22:51:00.001-08:00

Do you have too many prayer requests? Is your prayer list getting unmanageable? Are you overwhelmed by the number of prayer requests you need to keep track of?

Here is a simple way to manage your prayer requests. Simply write down each prayer request on a separate index card. Then shuffle the index cards. Then just pray the top 3 or 4 cards in the deck.

It doesn't matter if you have 20 requests or 200 - you just need to do 3 or 4 at a time. And because you are only praying a few, you can really concentrate on them and give them your all, striving to move God's heart.

You can also do this electronically with a flash card app that does shuffling, such as Flashcardlet:

Some suggestions for spiritual reading

2011-12-11T19:47:00.000-08:00

Wondering what are the best books for spiritual reading? Check out the short list at the bottom of this page for the FSSP seminary. Stuff like Introduction to the Devout Life, Imitation of Christ, etc.

Summary of the 7 Teresian Mansions of Prayer

2011-11-28T08:53:00.000-08:00

If you don't have time to read Fr. Dubay's 358-page Fire Within, and you'd like to know the gist of St. Teresa of Avila's Interior Castle, here is a 1-page blog post that summarizes her 7 "mansions" of prayer simply and clearly.

Most people stop at the third mansion, but there's no reason why people can't go on to the seventh.

Index card of responses in the new translation of the Missal

2011-11-24T11:34:00.001-08:00

Here is a PDF that you can print out on two sides of a single index card. It contains the responses in the new translation of the Roman Missal.

Or if you want bigger text and have two index cards to spare, here is a PDF with text that is twice as big.

Which Temperament Are You?

2011-10-02T15:09:00.000-07:00

There are four temperaments: Choleric (assertive leaders), Sanguine (joyful people-persons), Melancholic (thinkers, poets), and Phlegmatic (easy-going, diplomatic people). Which one are you? Most people are a combination of two (I'm melancholic-phlegmatic).

Here are a couple of great Catholic resources:

The Temperament God Gave You has an appendix with a quiz that will tell you your primary and secondary temperaments.
Fr. Conrad Hock's The Four Temperaments will give you insights into you're temperament's weaknesses and how to overcome them.

A couple of pages from A Catholic Commentary on Holy Scripture

2011-08-27T18:17:00.000-07:00

The web doesn't seem to have an image showing pages from the delightfully orthodox Catholic Commentary on Holy Scripture from 1953. So here is one:

TLM Propers

2011-08-26T22:32:00.000-07:00

I made this webpage that extracts the propers for the Traditional Latin Mass of the day. The propers are extracted from Divinum Officium.

How to deal with WYD hecklers

2011-08-20T18:31:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, American Papist posted some pictures of people taunting pilgrims at World Youth Day.

When this happens, I think a good way to fight back would be for someone to lead everybody in shouting down the hecklers with a good ol' Litany of the Saints. We should be praying this prayer more anyway.

Collect (opening prayer) for daily Mass

2011-08-13T19:48:00.000-07:00

If you are looking for the Collect (opening prayer) for today's mass, it seems that there is only one page on the web that shows it daily: http://www.catholicculture.org/culture/liturgicalyear/calendar/day.cfm

The Collect is packed with profound theology. Fr. Z often analyzes the Collect of the day. It will get even better with the corrected translation coming out in Advent 2011. If you are praying the breviary, you can refer to the above site to get the new collects from the corrected translation (at least I hope that the site will be showing the corrected translation).

Update: This webpage is actually pretty neat. It contains brief commentary on the readings from the ordinary and extraordinary forms of Mass, and information on the saint of the day. Sort of like Magnificat.

How to pay attention when saying the Our Father

2011-08-04T22:01:00.000-07:00

I read somewhere about a good way to pay attention while praying the Our Father. It's to identify, every time you say it, the 7 points in it - 3 petitions about God, and 4 petitions about man. Try it!

Catholic Poets

2011-07-30T22:21:00.000-07:00

Looking for good Catholic poets? Here are a list of poets from the Norton Anthology of Poetry 3rd ed. who were Catholics (found using the data from the Database of Poets):

1926 James K. Baxter
1923 Denise Levertov
1912 William Everson
1899 Allen Tate
1867 Ernest Dowson
1844 Gerard Manley Hopkins
1688 Alexander Pope

How to Obtain a Plenary Indulgence Through 30 Minutes of Reading Scripture

2011-07-30T19:16:00.000-07:00

A plenary indulgence is "the remission of the entire temporal punishment due to sin so that no further expiation is required in Purgatory" [1]. It "can always be applied either to oneself or to the souls of the deceased, but they cannot be applied to other persons living on earth" [2]. Sounds good, no?

There are four plenary indulgences that can be obtained at any time and any place:

"with the veneration due the divine word [, making] a spiritual reading from Sacred Scripture...for at least one half an hour" [3]
recitation of the rosary "in a church or public oratory or in a family group, a religious Community or pious Association" [4] (see additional norms)
"make the pious exercise of the Way of the Cross" [5] (see additional norms)
"visit the Most Blessed Sacrament to adore it...for at least one half an hour" [6]

Other things that must be done:

"Sacramental confession. A single sacramental confession suffices for gaining several plenary indulgences; but Communion must be received and prayer for the intention of the Sovereign Pontiff must be recited for the gaining of each plenary indulgence.
"Eucharistic Communion.
"Prayer for the intention of the Sovereign Pontiff. The condition of praying for the intention of the Sovereign Pontiff is fully satisfied by reciting one Our Father and one Hail Mary; nevertheless, each one is free to recite any other prayer according to his piety and devotion.
"It is further required that all attachment to sin, even venial sin, be absent. If the latter disposition is in any way less than perfect or if the prescribed three conditions are not fulfilled, the indulgence will be partial only, saving the provisions given in Norms 34 and 35." [7]

Definitely do-able.

Twelve Latin Chants Every Catholic Should Know

2011-07-23T19:38:00.000-07:00

There's a great article called Twelve Latin Chants Every Catholic Should Know. There's only one problem. It doesn't include the music for the chants themselves.

Until now. Using the fabulous and free Parish Book of Chant, I have assembled the music for the Twelve Chants into a single pdf. Enjoy!

Apologies for not responding to blog comments

2011-07-21T18:58:00.001-07:00

My apologies for not responding to comments on this blog - evidently they have been building up in the approval queue, and I wasn't receiving email notifications about them. I will respond to them this evening.

Examen Conscientiae on an Index Card

2011-07-17T14:57:00.000-07:00

Here is an index-card examination of conscience based on a page from a 1936 book for confessors posted on Fr. Z's blog. Fr. Z recommends that you do an examination of conscience at a regular time, such as when you brush your teeth. Post this card on your bathroom mirror.

CD: The Essential Tallis Scholars

2011-06-26T22:56:00.000-07:00

If you have just come from a Mass in which "Leaping The Mountains" or "Gather Us In" was sung, restore your sanity by listening to this wonderful CD of sacred polyphony: The Essential Tallis Scholars. It contains polyphonic works by Palestrina, Victoria, Tallis, Byrd, and other sane composers of sacred music.

For more Palestrina, this writer recommends this CD as his favorite. And it is indeed lovely.

A Catholic Lifetime Reading Plan

2011-06-26T22:29:00.001-07:00

There are some lovely books listed on Fr. John McCloskey's A Catholic Lifetime Reading Plan.

2011-06-25T23:49:00.000-07:00

On this pdf, which you can print out on an index card, I have put about 60 key dates from history.

They are taken from Richard Overy's The 50 key dates of world history and Diane Moczar's Ten Dates Every Catholic Should Know.

Best Catholic RSS Feed: New Advent

2011-06-23T21:28:00.000-07:00

If you're looking for a good Catholic feed to add to Google Reader or your favorite feedreader, look no further than New Advent. This feed contains the best Catholic articles from around the web - it selects articles from blogs like Fr. Z, the National Catholic Register, Peter Kreeft, Creative Minority Report - good places like that.

The Godparent Book

2011-06-18T22:31:00.000-07:00

Are you a godparent? I'm a proud godparent of a 13-year old boy, and when I was asked to become a godparent 13 years ago, I had little idea about how to be one. I purchased this slim volume and it has a variety of interesting ideas for the new godparent: The Godparent Book, by Elaine Ramshaw. Check it out!

Timeline of Dominican History

2011-05-08T10:31:00.000-07:00

Dryness and the Rosary

2011-04-20T22:25:00.000-07:00

Bored or distracted while saying the Rosary? See what Saint Louis Marie Grignion De Montfort has to say about it. (Turn off the cheesy music at the bottom of the page though.)

Being human, we easily become tired and slipshod, but the devil makes these difficulties worse when we are saying the Rosary. Before we even begin, he makes us feel bored, distracted, or exhausted; and when we have started praying, he oppresses us from all sides, and when after much difficulty and many distractions, we have finished, he whispers to us, "What you have just said is worthless. It is useless for you to say the Rosary...

Read the rest.

Catholic Answers' Voter's Guide

When looking for a voter's guide, it's hard to do better than Catholic Answers' classic Voter's Guide for Serious Catholics.

Two Good Books for Apologetics, Freely Available Online

2011-04-05T21:45:00.000-07:00

I have found that two of the books recommended in Karl Keating's apologetics book Catholicism and Fundamentalism are freely available online:

Maisie Ward's Catholic Evidence Training Outlines
J. Tixeront's History of Dogmas, Vol. 1. My Kindle wouldn't open this PDF, so I had to use my Mac's Print To PDF feature to skip a couple of bad pages (67 and 437).

The 21 Ecumenical Councils of the Catholic Church

2011-03-27T19:34:00.000-07:00

Check out this great summary by the Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

A Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture

2011-03-26T17:55:00.000-07:00

There is a great series of Catholic bible commentaries coming out called A Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture. It has numerous endorsements from bishops and cardinals. It has a Kindle edition. Unfortunately, the translation it uses is the NAB; what I do is have my RSV open beside it. I have read the first bit of the Kindle sample for the Gospel of Mark, and it provides very interesting historical, patristic, and theological background. Also the text and notes are interspersed, unlike the Ignatius Study Bible[1] which puts the notes in footnotes, so it should make for easier reading (and listening) on the Kindle. Check thou it out.

Gestures and Postures of the Congregation at Mass

2011-03-15T20:34:00.000-07:00

Here is a good list of gestures and postures of the congregation at Mass.

Ones I need to start doing are:

Bow your head when you say “Lord, have mercy” during the Kyrie.
Make the sign of the Cross at the conclusion of the Creed at the words “I believe in the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.”
Reverently fold your hands and bow your head as you pray the Lord’s Prayer.

The Last Superstition: A Refutation of the New Atheism

2011-03-06T17:54:00.000-08:00

Dr. Edward Feser's The Last Superstition: A Refutation of the New Atheism is an interesting counterargument to the books of the New Atheists, based on Aristotle (for the distinction between actuality and potentiality, form and matter, and final causality) and Aquinas (for the existence of God, the immateriality and immortality of the soul, and the natural law conception of morality – which follow from Aristotle). Not only is his approach effective in countering his opponents, but also it is a good introduction to key ideas of Aristotle and Aquinas. It was an Editor's Choice selection in the American Library Association's BookList in 2008.

The Spiritual Combat

2011-03-01T19:53:00.000-08:00

The Spiritual Combat is the book that St. Francis de Sales carried in his pocket wherever he went. It is a series of 66 articles on everything from "What To Do When The Will Is Apparently Overpowered" to "The Defense Against The Artifices Of The Devil When He Suggests Indiscreet Devotions". There are a few translations out there – the TAN Classics one is, in the words of one reviewer, "theologically grounded in the Latin church and is the most literal translation". Here's a taste:

CHAPTER FOUR: HOW TO DISCOVER WHETHER WE DISTRUST OURSELVES AND PLACE OUR CONFIDENCE IN GOD

THE PRESUMPTUOUS MAN is convinced that he has acquired a distrust of himself and confidence in God, but his mistake is never more apparent than when some fault is committed. For, if he yields to anger and despairs of advancing in the way of virtue, it is evident that he has placed his confidence in himself and not in God. The greater the anxiety and despondence, the greater is the certainty of his guilt.

The man who has a deep distrust of himself and places great confidence in God is not at all surprised if he commits a fault. He does not abandon himself to confused despair; he correctly attributes what has happened to his own weakness and lack of confidence in God. Thus he learns to distrust himself more, and he places all his hopes in the assistance of the Almighty. He detests beyond all things the sin into which he has fallen; he condemns the passion or criminal habit that occasioned his fall; he conceives a deep sorrow for his offense against God. But his sorrow, accompanied by peace of mind, does not interrupt the method he has laid down, nor does it prevent the pursuit of his enemies to their final destruction.

I sincerely wish that what has been proposed here would be attentively considered by many who think they are very devout. yet from the moment they commit a fault they will not be pacified, but hurry away to their director, more to rid themselves of the distress arising from self-love than from any other motive. Their principal care should be to wash away the guilt of sin in the Sacrament of Penance and to fortify themselves with the Eucharist against a relapse.

For the Liturgy of the Hours: National Liturgical Calendar

2011-02-11T21:27:00.000-08:00

If you pray the Liturgy of the Hours (and I highly recommend Morning Prayer and Evening Prayer), it is a good idea to have on hand the liturgical calendar for your country, so you know which Saint to celebrate each day. Here are liturgical calendars for Canada and the United States.

Ignatius books on Kindle

2011-02-09T18:32:00.001-08:00

Altar Server Schematic

2011-02-06T19:09:00.000-08:00

This PDF shows the actions of an altar server at a Traditional Latin Mass. With some modifications, it can be adapted for the Novus Ordo Mass.

The first part of the Mass (the Mass of the Catechumens) contains the Introit and the Collect prayers, said by the priest. For the altar server, the main action to remember is to transfer the Missal from the Epistle side to the Gospel side.

The next part of the Mass is the Offertory. The altar server will present the wine and the water to the priest. Then he will give the water and the finger towel for the Lavabo. The priest says the Preface and the Sanctus.

The next part is the Consecration. When the priest spreads his hands over the offerings and says “Hanc igitur...”, the altar server rings the bell, genuflects in the middle, and goes up the steps. During the consecration of the Host and the chalice, the bell is rung a number of times as indicated.

The last part is the Communion. After the priest receives the Host and removes the pall from the chalice, the altar server gets the Communion paten, genuflects in the middle, and goes up the steps to receive Communion.

At the end of the Communion, the ablutions are done. Then the altar server transfers the Missal from the Gospel side to the Epistle side.

A Good Book: Pope Benedict XVI's "Light of the World"

2011-02-05T20:45:00.000-08:00

Light of the World – Peter Seewald's interview with the Pope – is an interesting book. It gives insights into what the Holy Father thinks on a variety of issues. Since it's an interview, it makes for easier reading than his heavier books (Introduction to Christianity, Jesus of Nazareth).

It's also available for Kindle. Kindle has a great text-to-speech feature, so I enjoyed listening to the book on the ferry today.

Sample pages from F.C. Bauerschmidt's Holy Teaching: Introducing the Summa Theologiae of St. Thomas Aquinas

2011-01-22T10:49:00.000-08:00

If you search around the web for sample pages from F.C. Bauerschmidt's highly regarded annotated abridgement of the Summa, Holy Teaching: Introducing the Summa Theologiae of St. Thomas Aquinas, you unfortunately will not find any. Until now. I emailed Dr. Bauerschmidt and he kindly provided me with a scan of two pages from the book:

Also see the Table of Contents for the book.

Recommended Books

2011-01-10T19:13:00.000-08:00

I love Fr. Gary Coulter's Recommended Formation Reading book list (not just for priests!) It's got great titles like Pieper's "Leisure: The Basis of Culture", Trochu's "St. John Vianney", Chesterton's "Aquinas: The Dumb Ox", Merton's "Seven Storey Mountain", Pope John Paul II's "Witness to Hope", Dante's "Divine Comedy", etc. etc. etc.

PDF of the Missa de Angelis and other Gregorian chants for Mass

2010-12-23T21:48:00.001-08:00

If you attend a Traditional Latin Mass and want to sing along with the choir, but aren't exactly sure about how the chants go, print out a "Complete PDF Score" from this site. The commonly used Missa de Angelis is also known as Mass VIII.

Tools for approaching the Summa Theologica

2010-12-13T22:16:00.000-08:00

Based on what people say, the following seems to be a good way to approach Aquinas' Summa Theologica:

Step 1: Adler's Aristotle for Everybody
Step 2: Kreeft's Shorter Summa (5% of the Summa Theologica, with footnotes)
Step 3: Kreeft's Summa of the Summa (18% of the Summa Theologica, with footnotes)
Step 4: Summa Theologica (all 3011 pages of it!)

I am currently in the middle of Step 1.

A comparison of two TLM altar-server manuals

2010-11-03T19:39:00.000-07:00

Here is a visual comparison of two popular altar-server manuals for the Traditional Latin Mass: Dom Matthew Britt's "How to Serve in Simple, Solemn, and Pontifical Functions" and Rev. William O'Brien's "How to Serve Low Mass & Benediction".

The Britt is a good overview. I've only started the O'Brien, but it seems more detailed. I would recommend starting with Britt and moving on to O'Brien afterwards. There are also some TLM altar-server manuals online.

UPDATE: Also see Fr. Z's review of "The General Principles of the Roman Rite: For Inferior Ministers". I have this book as well. It's more about the finer points of certain actions (like how to bow, how to strike your breast, how to turn, etc.), so is less critical than the above books but a useful supplement to know how to do things properly. It uses terms like "in plano" (on the floor of the sanctuary), "in actu functionis" (in the act of a function), and "ex actu functionis" (outside the act of a function), which are defined on the last two pages of the book.

Here are pics from "The General Principles of the Roman Rite: For Inferior Ministers". Note that most pages don't have pictures/diagrams, but these ones do.

It seems that a lengthy section from this book is online.

Jubilate Deo: PDF of Minimum Repertoire of Gregorian Chant

2010-10-03T22:28:00.000-07:00

In 1974, Pope Paul VI issued Jubilate Deo (PDF, MP3s), a minimum repertoire of Gregorian Chant to be learned by all the faithful. It's got famous chants like Salve Regina.

Dowling's Wheel: Tool for Learning Latin

2010-10-02T19:35:00.001-07:00

Not only for priests: Books for Catholic spiritual formation

2010-09-12T16:00:00.000-07:00

This looks like a great reading list: Book List for Catholic Seminarians and Priests.

Fr. Coulter's site has a bunch of other interesting lists, like good novels by Catholic authors.

Textbook: Fundamentals of Catholic Dogma

2010-08-23T00:48:00.000-07:00

This book is a 560-page compendium of important Catholic dogmas. For each dogma, it gives the degree of certainty (the highest being De Fide). It also points out related heresies.

This textbook can be dull at times, but also quite informative. I just read the section on dogmas about Angels, and found it fascinating. I try to read a little bit each day.

Flannery O'Connor quotes

From “The Habit of Being”, the collection of her correspondence:

“You don't serve God by saying: the Church is ineffective, I'll have none of it. Your pain at its lack of effectiveness is a sign of your nearness to God. We help overcome this lack of effectiveness simply by suffering on account of it.”

“I don't want to discourage you from reading St. Thomas but don't read him with the notion that he is going to clear anything up for you. That is done by study but more by prayer.”

On the priesthood: “a man, in spite of his intellectual limitations, his neuroticism, his own lack of strength, give up his life to the service of God’s people, however bumblingly he may go about it…”

A Catholic in Politics: Lord Chris Patten on the Relation between Church and State

2010-07-31T11:42:00.000-07:00

From an interview with Lord Chris Patten, who is overseeing the Pope's visit to Great Britain in September:

Interviewer: How can we define the relation between Church and State in your country?

Lord Chris Patten: It's important to recognize that they're separate. I've been in politics - I am no longer - but I've been a Catholic in politics. I've always voted my conscience, and that has sometimes meant that I've voted against governments, or opposed what governments are doing, both of the left and the right. I think it's very important when there are issues of morality arising about which the Church feels strongly for the Church to make its views very strongly, and it's perfectly reasonable for governments to engage in a debate about them - we don't want and we don't live in a theocracy. So there's an important if sometimes tense and stretched relationship between Church and State. I think that it's part of our liberal tradition that that should be so.

Let me give you an example of that, which doesn't directly relate to the Catholic Church. There's just been a discussion in France about the wearing of the burka, trying to ban it. Most of us in Britain, when we consider this question, think that's an intolerable infringement by the state of people's religious views. Similarly, if an Islamicized country, if people were trying to do the reverse, we'd feel very strongly about it. Now, it does sometimes produce arguments, but I think those are the sort of arguments that you are accustomed to in a free society.

I don't think that the British government and the Catholic Church see eye to eye on everything. I don't see eye to eye on everything with the British government. But I hope that it's possible for us to focus on the biggest issues where we see eye to eye: global equity, education, sustainable environmental issues, sensible disarmament, the role of faith groups like the Catholic Church in promoting social solidarity and a stronger sense of community - those are the big issues on which we see eye to eye; and occasional disagreements about this or that aspect of legislation, I'm sure, not in my view be dominating the agenda. So I don't think - I have to repeat myself - that everything the Church and a conservative government - a conservative liberal government - in Britain do will be on all fours, but by and large I think we're both trying to shape the world in a more civilized way.

Favorite 5 quotes from Spe Salvi

2010-04-19T00:29:00.000-07:00

Pope Benedict's 2007 encyclical Spe Salvi (on the virtue of Hope) resonates with me.

It starts off rather slowly, but I found the second half quite interesting.

Here are 5 of my favorite quotes from it:

"[Eternal life] would be like plunging into the ocean of infinite love, a moment in which time—the before and after—no longer exists. We can only attempt to grasp the idea that such a moment is life in the full sense, a plunging ever anew into the vastness of being, in which we are simply overwhelmed with joy."
"Let us say it once again: the capacity to suffer for the sake of the truth is the measure of humanity. Yet this capacity to suffer depends on the type and extent of the hope that we bear within us and build upon."
"What does it mean to offer something up? Those who did so were convinced that they could insert these little annoyances into Christ's great “com-passion” so that they somehow became part of the treasury of compassion so greatly needed by the human race."
"As Christians we should never limit ourselves to asking: how can I save myself? We should also ask: what can I do in order that others may be saved and that for them too the star of hope may rise? Then I will have done my utmost for my own personal salvation as well."
"Human life is a journey. Towards what destination? How do we find the way? Life is like a voyage on the sea of history, often dark and stormy, a voyage in which we watch for the stars that indicate the route. The true stars of our life are the people who have lived good lives."

Prayer For Coworkers

2010-02-27T21:28:00.000-08:00

The well-known Parent's Prayer works quite well when you modify the words to say "coworkers":

Heavenly Father, make me a better coworker.

Teach me to understand my coworkers, listen patiently to what they have to say, and to answer all their questions kindly.

Keep me from interrupting them or contradicting them.

Make me as courteous to them as I would have them be to me.

Forbid that I should ever laugh at their mistakes or resort to shame or ridicule when they displease me.

May I never punish them for my own selfish satisfaction or to show my power.

Let me not tempt my coworkers to lie or steal and guide me hour by hour that I may demonstrate by all I say and do that honesty produces happiness.

Reduce, I pray, the meanness in me.

And when I am out of sorts, help me, O Lord, to hold my tongue.

Let me not rob them of the opportunity to make their own decisions.

Bless me with the bigness to grant them all their reasonable requests and the courage to deny them privileges I know will do them harm.

Make me fair and just and kind, worthy to be loved and respected and imitated by my coworkers. Amen.

Wide-Margin Catholic Bibles

2010-02-15T12:05:00.001-08:00

If you're looking for a wide-margin Bible in which to jot down notes and thoughts, in a Catholic translation, a couple of options are:

Cambridge NRSV Wide-Margin Edition. $100, 9.3 x 7.4 x 1.1 inches, 2.2 pounds. No deuterocanonical books unfortunately.

Oxford NRSV Notetaker's Bible. $30 ($40 for deluxe cloth), 8.4 x 6.7 x 2 inches, 3.3 pounds. Nice single-column, but the font is smaller.

Below are the Cambridge and the Oxford, scaled up to approximate life size, from images at Amazon and This Lamp.

Good flashcard program for memorizing scripture (or anything)

2010-02-10T23:31:00.000-08:00

Mnemosyne is a good program to aid memorization. You input questions and answers; it shows you a question; you press a button and it reveals the answer. You then click buttons indicating whether you got it wrong, right with much effort, or right with little effort. The cool thing is that it shows you the cards that you are worse at more frequently. This aids memorization.

It's available for Windows, Linux, and Mac.

Comparing some passages in the JB, NJB, RSV2CE, and NRSV

2010-01-31T14:33:00.000-08:00

Four great modern translations of the Bible are the Jerusalem Bible (JB), the New Jerusalem Bible (NJB), the Revised Standard Version 2nd Catholic Edition (RSV2CE), and the New Revised Standard Version (NRSV). How to choose between them? It is interesting to see how they render some of the most famous passages from scripture.

The Beatitudes: Matthew 5:3–4

Topical Memory System for Memorizing Scripture

2010-01-17T11:03:00.000-08:00

There is a wonderful set of Bible verses called the "Topical Memory System" selected by our Protestant brethren at The Navigators (a Protestant organization). They are great verses to commit to memory (perhaps with the aid of flash cards or a microcassette recorder).

Checklist for reading the Bible (and the Catechism) in one year

Some tweaks to how I say the Rosary

2009-12-31T10:32:00.000-08:00

I found a few gems in Guardini’s book The Rosary of Our Lady.

First, the idea of pausing on the word “Jesus” to remember the current mystery: “…of thy womb Jesus. [Which mystery are we on again? Ah yes, the Annunciation.] Holy Mary, …”

Second, the idea of using the first three Hail Maries to think about Faith, Hope, and Love, respectively.

Third, the idea that we can focus on the mystery while reciting the Hail Mary, but not the Our Father: for this prayer, we should focus on the prayer itself.

For now, I’m leaving out some of the “extras”: the Fatima Prayer after each decade (“O my Jesus, …”), and the prayers after the final decade (“Hail Holy Queen”, “O God, whose only-begotten …”). I begin and end the Rosary with the Sign of the Cross.

Fighting Description of Our Lady

2009-12-15T22:36:00.000-08:00

I love this spirited description of Our Lady, given by St. Louis de Montfort in his Treatise on True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin:

“Thus the most fearful enemy that God has set up against the devil is Mary, his holy Mother. From the time of the earthly paradise, although she existed then only in his mind, he gave her such a hatred for his accursed enemy, such ingenuity in exposing the wickedness of the ancient serpent and such power to defeat, overthrow and crush this proud rebel, that Satan fears her not only more than angels and men but in a certain sense more than God himself.

“This does not mean that the anger, hatred and power of God are not infinitely greater than the Blessed Virgin's, since her attributes are limited. It simply means that Satan, being so proud, suffers infinitely more in being vanquished and punished by a lowly and humble servant of God, for her humility humiliates him more than the power of God.

“Moreover, God has given Mary such great power over the evil spirits that, as they have often been forced unwillingly to admit through the lips of possessed persons, they fear one of her pleadings for a soul more than the prayers of all the saints, and one of her threats more than all their other torments.”
