passionheart Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 What about personal religious items? I wear the cord of St. Joseph. I wear around my waist and it has 7 knots that remind us of the Seven Sorrows and Seven Joys of St. Joseph. It is a wonderful Saramental and devotion to St. Joseph. Any Augustinians on this forum that know about this cord? We have this cord due to an Augustinian nun who in poor health asked St. Joseph for his intercession for healing. She would honour him through recalling his seven joys and sorrows. The good sister was healed. Now, I know there are other cords such as to St. Philomena. Anyone else wear one of these cords?

OLAM Dad Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 fwiw, Sr. Lauren FINALLY called home last night (her former home, that is) . I asked her about the rope and what they called it. She said that it is called a cord and that the term cincture is used to describe the cord that the priests wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brendan1104 Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Blessing Of A Cincture To be worn in honour of Saint Joseph [Approved by the congregation of Sacred Rites, 19 September 1859.] The priest, vested in surplice and white stole, says; V. Our help is in the name of the Lord. R. Who made heaven and earth. V. The Lord be with you. R. May He also be with you. Let us pray. O Lord Jesus Christ, who inculcated the counsel and love of virginity, and gave the precept of chastity, we appeal to Thy kindness, asking that Thou bless and hallow this cincture as a token of purity. Let all who gird themselves with it as a safeguard of chastity be enabled, by the prayers of Saint Joseph, spouse of Thy holy Mother, to practise that continence which is so pleasing to Thee, and to live in obedience to Thy commandments. May they also obtain pardon of their sins, health in mind and body, and flnally attain everlasting life. We ask this of Thee who lives and reigns with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, forever and ever. R. Amen. Let us pray. Almighty and everlasting God, grant, we pray, that those who revere the inviolate virginity of the most pure Virgin Mary and of Saint Joseph, her spouse, may by their prayers be pure in mind and body; through Christ our Lord. R. Amen. Let us pray. Almighty and everlasting God, who committed the boy Jesus and the most pure Mary, ever a Virgin, to the care of the chaste man Saint Joseph, we humbly entreat Thee that those who are girded with this cincture in honour of Saint Joseph and under his patronage may, by Thy help and his prayers, persevere in holy chastity for all time; through Christ our Lord. R. Amen. Let us pray. God, the lover and restorer of innocence, we pray that Thy faithful who are to wear this cincture may, by the prayers of Saint Joseph, spouse of Thy holy Mother, have their loins girded and hold burning lamps in their hands, and thus be likened to men who wait for their Lord when He shall return for a wedding, that when He comes and knocks they may open to Him, and be found worthy of being taken into everlasting joys; through Thee who lives and reigns forever and ever. R. Amen. Then the priest puts incense into the censer, sprinkles the cincture with holy water, saying: Sprinkle me with hyssop, Lord, and I shall be clean of sin. Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. After this he incenses the cincture, and then continues: V. Save Thy servants. R. Who trust in Thee, my God. V. Lord, send them aid from Thy holy place. R. And watch over them from Sion. V. Lord, heed my prayer. R. And let my cry be heard by Thee. V. The Lord be with you. R. May He also be with you. Let us pray. O God of mercy, God of goodness, Thou are pleased with all good things, and without whom no good work is begun, no good work is finished; kindly hear our prayers, and defend Thy faithful, who are to wear this blessed cincture in honour of Saint Joseph and under his protection, from the snares of this world and all its lusts. Help them to persist in their holy resolution and to obtain pardon of their sins, and thus merit to be numbered amongst Thy elect; through Christ our Lord. R. Amen.
