There was something very scrupulous and very unhealthy, I think, about my view of adoration.

So it was like, I had experiences of prayer in adoration before becoming Byzantine, and

because of that, I think I had kind of gotten into this mindset of like, that's where I pray.

That's where Jesus is.

And, um, which is true and beautiful, but I wasn't able to like pray without adoration and I wasn't able to encounter him outside of adoration.

And I think that's very unhealthy.

Um, and yeah, the reason I say it's ironic is because I, um,

I don't miss adoration at this point, which is probably going to ruffle a lot of feathers.

Five minutes in.

Yeah, that's great.

A lot of feathers to ruffle.

Yeah.

Start there.

That's right.

So I am really excited to tell you that I have partnered with Theotokos Rosaries.

These are without a doubt, the most beautiful rosaries I have ever seen in my life.

Theotokos Rosary sent me one maybe about a year ago or so.

And I remember being absolutely blown away.

You probably heard me talking about it.

I've sent one to my mom and dad and uncle.
