hey good sir of reason, i am a part of a bible study going over 1 peter. Its a mixed group, catholics and protestants. Would you be down to do a video highlighting some catholic points or pointers that i could reference during our study? The protestants are level headed and welcome the Catholic prospective so i think it would help atleast a handful of protestants come home to the true church. If not, no worries. Love your content!
I am a Western Rite Catholic who prays the Rosary. I may also pray the Chotki. I will try to get one. Thank you father, thank you for teaching so many who have not been taught these things. God Bless you all.
Funny enough my great great grandparents were from the Carpathian mountains of which is now South Western Ukraine. (Back then it was the Austrian Hungarian Empire). And were Eastern Catholic. I'm first in many generations to becoming Catholic (Going through catechism now as we speak). So my preferred rosary is black paracord (given my military training and short time in it), knotted traditional Dominican Marian style (beads and pull chains are too clanky and cumbersome), along with a Russian orthodox cross/crucifix. A commissioned piece from a etsy seller. And I absolutely love it. Getting it blessed by a Byzantine Priest next Sunday who does a Byzantine Rite for a Maronite Church. So this is gonna be great.
I would like to hear all that different prayers desert father's and saints were using to get closer to Jesus Some even used Mary's name or Theotokus as their inspiration
@PatriAx Of course. I don't have a Chotki yet so I pray Jesus prayer with my Rosary beads along with Rosary and Divine Mercy. You don't even have to use any prayer rope for praying Jesus Prayer. It's only for counting if it's necessary. Sometimes I pray it with silence whisper without a rope.
Of course, the church, East and West, does better than anything else, complicating something so simple. How can there be any rules for praying a scripture prayer repeatedly? If the vocal prayer is to become the prayer of the heart, then let the heart pray and stop cumbering the people of God with rules that our forefathers were not able to bear
Father Zugger, Please don't introduce yourself by your first name. You are unintentionally disrespecting your Priestly Office as our Spiritual Father. Just as it is Disrespectful to address our Paternal father by his first name, it is the same by addressing a Priest (Spiritual Father) by his first name. Unfortunately this Decorum of respect has been lost in our modern times and it is Shameful. When I was a little kid, adults were addressed as Mr or Mrs so and so. It was Disrespectful to use their first name as a child towards an adult. Unfortunately so much has been lost in the last 60 years.
I'm not of orthodox or catholic traditions, however i appreciate this video highly. Thank you to the one who had the heart to teach.
Beautiful! Love the Jesus Prayer 🙏🏽
Surprise 🎉

Beautiful way to pray unceasingly.

Any good websites of where to buy chotkis from?
I personally recommend Orthodox.Handmade to have handmade chotkis
I would like to hear all that different prayers desert father's and saints were using to get closer to Jesus
Some even used Mary's name or Theotokus as their inspiration
Can you use a rosary as a chotki?
Yes.
You can use anything you want to help count prayers. Early monastics used small pebbles or shells!
@PatriAx Of course. I don't have a Chotki yet so I pray Jesus prayer with my Rosary beads along with Rosary and Divine Mercy. You don't even have to use any prayer rope for praying Jesus Prayer. It's only for counting if it's necessary. Sometimes I pray it with silence whisper without a rope.

But the Rosary is focused on Christ.
