“Every human person is called to become a ‘theologian” — someone to whom the mysteries of God are revealed and to whom has been granted the right to speak of them. Every person is called to become a priest that he may at all times offer a sacrifice on the altar of his heart, for himself, for his neighbor, for the whole creation.”

I stopped to make them a while ago, and I believe now I totally forgot how to do it!

My cat Maria loves playing with/praying with my prayer rope. Perhaps that’s a bit impious, but I figured it was cruel to always keep it out of reach and deny her the form of devotion of which she was capable. Unfortunately, she lost it somewhere in the apartment, so a replacement would be appreciated.
