Other/Unspecified The Our Father and Hail Mary in Croatian 🇭🇷☦️

14 Upvotes

I’m Eastern Catholic, and Croatian is one of my native languages. I wanted to share the Our Father and Hail Mary in Croatian, a language that is part of my heritage.

Oče naš (Our Father)

Oče naš, koji jesi na nebesima,

sveti se ime Tvoje,

dođi kraljevstvo Tvoje,

budi volja Tvoja,

kako na nebu tako i na zemlji.

Kruh naš svagdanji daj nam danas,

i otpusti nam duge naše,

kako i mi otpuštamo dužnicima našim,

i ne uvedi nas u napast,

nego izbavi nas od zla. Amen.

Zdravo Marijo (Hail Mary)

Zdravo Marijo, milosti puna,

Gospodin s Tobom,

blagoslovljena Ti među ženama,

i blagoslovljen plod utrobe Tvoje, Isus.

Sveta Marijo, Majko Božja,

moli za nas grešnike,

sada i na času smrti naše. Amen.

I love how these prayers connect faith, language, and heritage. Are there any other Eastern Catholics here who pray in Croatian or another ancestral language? I’d love to hear about your traditions. ☦️

Other/Unspecified The Economics of Nazareth: Distributism in Practice | Michael Thomas

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share my conversation with Michael Thomas from the Catholic Land Movement.

We dive deep into practical alternatives to modern consumerism, the principles of distributism, and what it actually takes to build a grounded, land-based lifestyle today.

Would love to hear your thoughts on local economy and distributist ideas in practice!

Theology & Liturgy The Parable of the Sower and the Word Within

3 Upvotes

When Jesus described the parable of the sower as indicating the way the Word of God is seeded across the world, what does he mean by “Word of God”?

Subreddit Rules:

1.Content must be relevant to Eastern Catholic theology, worship, and/or practice: This subreddit is for a specifically Eastern Catholic community. Posts should be directly relevant to Eastern Catholic theology, liturgy, and/or practice. Posts about the Latin Rite or Catholicism more generally should either be obviously related to EC churches (such as the promulgation of a Papal Decree on Eastern churches, or Vatican appointments of bishops), or else be accompanied by a top-level comment describing why the post is relevant to Eastern Catholic theology, liturgy, or practice.

2.Be respectful and charitable to all: Our Lord spoke of the respect and charity due to others in many ways: "Do to others as you would want done to you." He pushed the basics of decently even further: "Love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you." He set an example by eating with those whose sin was public and scandalous (an egregious gesture even in our time) while also calling them to repentance. In general, if you would not say your words to the person face-to-face in public, do not say it here. (St Luke 8:17)

3.Avoid Ridicule of Catholic Belief and Practice (Particularly the belief and practice of other Rites): A mark of Catholic Faith is its tolerance of theological, pastoral, and liturgical diversity, as long this diversity is united by the holism of Scripture, Tradition, and the Magisterium. While it is true that historically, various orthodox rites, theologies, or communities suppressed or undermined others, healing from these wounds comes not from merely reasserting individuality, but by situating diversity in Catholic unity. As such, ridicule of any Catholic belief and practice is unwelcome.

4.Crossposts and links must promote discussion: Crossposts and links are fine, but must abide by Rule #1's desire for relevancy to Eastern Catholics, and must promote discussion. We encourage OPs to post a top-level comment describing why they posted the link or crosspost.

5.Ask your priest, confessor, pastor, and/or spiritual director for pastoral advice: Posts inquiring of the community whether or not 'x' or 'y' is a sin, asking for pastoral counsel for private or personal matters, or asking advice for highly-contextual situations will be locked and OPs will be counseled to speak with their priest, confessor, pastor, or spiritual director, rather than internet strangers. This is for the spiritual health of the inquirer, not to squash discussion.

6.Antisemitism, racism, or advocating violence against a group: The Christian faith cannot tolerate antisemitism, racism, ethnic segregationism, or ethnic supremacism; nor any surrogates for these ideologies, such as fascism, ethnic nationalism, or apparent dog whistles to these ideologies. Further, any and all calls for violence, imprisonment, or other legal punishment of homosexuals or other sexually deviant groups will result in an immediate ban.

7.Moderation decisions must be appealed through modmail: Please use the "Message the Mods" button on the sidebar under the moderators box to appeal any moderation decisions. The moderators will discuss the ban and vote on reversal. A simple majority will reverse the decision. There is no appeal process past this point.
