  1. Prayer Book of St. Julia Oremus, sancta Iulia Sister Rebecca Vordenburg, SSJP 1958 Imprimatur - High Pontiff Sixtus VI - 1959 Before you would be a small book bound in thin red leather with a Lorraine’s cross painted on the cover in black ink. Tucked inside the front cover would be a small sheet of paper: “Please enjoy this breviary, courtesy of the Monastery of St. Julia of Paradisus. May it guide you in devotion to our Holy Mother Julia and to God, creator of all the World. God Bless!” Faith I AM COME, my Lord, in a ready spirit, armed with hope and with love. I look on this Mass as a happy oasis in my life, as a source of refreshment and of vigor, so that with a right heart I may resume my work; so that the burdens which, oft-times, I find beyond bearing may be lightened through Your loving kindness and Your indulgent aid. How many are the hours I spend without a thought of You, my God; forgetful even of my own soul, but in the grip of alien forces! Keep me mindful of You, and of what I am to You: for to think of one is to think of the other. I pray that these moments which are made holy by being passed in Your Presence, may be a source of faith, of fervor, and of joy. Take away from me this bitterness which throttles me, this harsh and agonizing dryness which holds me in its grip, this darksome discouragement which broods around me. Cleanse me from secret leanings to sin, from inclinations impelling me to choose what is unworthy, from all the evil that I would not and that yet I do. At the very beginning of this Mass, make me ready to be what You would have me be. Hope O GOD, my trust in You is boundless. My first word is one of entire confidence in You. I believe in You; in You do I place my trust: it is You alone who are the rock of my being and the fulcrum of my strength. And it is because I am no more in Your sight than a reed, a reed which rests in Your hands, that I know myself to be strong. Therefore am I glad, glad in you my Lord. There awaits me a renewal of my forces, in which my soul shall come to full growth. By the glad light of this confrontation with You for which I now make ready, my Lord, I beg You to lead me henceforth along the way in which I should go. Guide me by Truth, which is the right hand of Your Love. Love Munda cor. Cleanse my heart; for Your burning coal has more to do than just to make pure these my faithless lips, hitherto so ready to mouth words of anger or of folly; there are also my ears to be made pure, for they have been over willing to choose the jangling discords of the world above Your Word; they have welcomed the Lie more easily than the Truth; there are my eyes, so slow to open to the light because of their fondness for the things of darkness; there is indeed all my being which waits in need of the purifying fire of Your angel; there is my soul, my judgment, my imagination, and my sinful heart which has betrayed You. Laudate O gentle Mother, full of grace, The joy of Horen, The fairest honor of our race, More blessed than tongue can tell! All beautiful art thou, Jul’ie, In thee there is no stain, Nor grief in thy sweet company, Consoling all our pain. Delight of angels, Queen of earth, To thy poor child dost deign, To whom in sorrow didst give birth, That with thee she might reign. Pressed to thine Heart Immaculate, Her frail soul findeth rest And all its worries there doth quit, At thy maternal breast. The people thy tender arms protect, from the iniquity of Saul guided by divine architect, Iblees banished by thou casting call. To thee ’tis not too much to give All that she doth possess. To have thee truly is to live, To serve thee holiness. To all the thorns of earthly loves How dost thou, friend, compare? So pure thy gaze, thine eyes are doves, And thou a lily rare. To know herself beloved by thee Is worth more than all gold. Renouncing all, her heart is free For thee, the hundredfold.

  2. "Amen!" *The Abbess would speak, after having read the missive in her morning mail, her off hand giving scratchies to her beloved dog*
  3. Will this fix the issue of herbs not stacking? Sometimes herbs don't stack when you harvest them and you have to wait a while before they will stack. I'm not sure what causes this issue.
  4. What about Epiphytes? I'm pretty sure I am the only person who plays one right now :(

  6. ─ The Julian Continental Pilgrimage ─ 9 / 29 Locations Visited With the goal of increasing ecumenism, peace, and faith within the Church of the Canon, the Society of St. Julia of Paradisus presents the Continental Pilgrimage. Over the next decade, all members of the society will travel the continent, moving from church, to chapel, to cathedral. We will engage with the local parish and church community, and will participate in a worship service of the particular local Rite. It is our goal to learn from and appreciate the various rites and customs of the people of Canondom. We invite all Canonists to join us on this pilgrimage. We implore that you keep in mind the local laws and customs as you do so. Our goal is not to proselytize one rite or another, but rather, explore the rich diversity and beauty of our church. ─ ─ CASICA (Albarosa) The Monastery of St. Juli’el of Paradisus - Located outside the eastern gate of the city of Vallagne of The Petra.

  7. Abbess Rebecca would read the missive.. a few tears coming to her eyes. Sighing, she would say a silent prayer for the souls of the unborn. Although she supports the Order and it's efforts.. she recalls to mind the Society of St. Julia of Paradisus.. her own order, based upon acts of love and humility. She would hope this incident can be remediated quickly.. as this is a deep stain upon our Holy Mother Church.
  8. Abbess Rebecca would read over the missive and would tuck it away. "Unfortunately, I am far too busy as the Vicar of Casica and Superior General of the Julians.. I will let the younger and more eager priests fill these seats."

  10. The Monastery of St. Juli’el of Paradisus — — Est. 1955, the Age of Man — — Built in the year 1930, on the request of Monk Sakuraba, the Monastery has stood the test of time. Over the years it has survived countless attacks from the undead, bandits, and orcs. Under the leadership of Sister Rebecca, a series of major renovations were completed in 1952, leaving the present structure as it is today. Although originally a quiet monastic place, fit for wine making and prayer, the current monastery is a bustling location for faith activity. Under the guidance of Cardinal Rhosyn, the Holy ground has been a place of constant teaching and guidance in the faith. With amenities such as a medical clinic, library, classroom, kitchen, laboratory, and workshop, there are countless ways for the structure to continue to serve the local parish and Canondom as a whole. The monastery’s doors are open to all who come, and tours of the grounds may also be given to those who ask. We hope to stand strong as a bulwark of faith in these trying times. A testament to the work of the Canonist faith, and that GOD has not abandoned His earthly flock. — Tempus fugit, amor manet. — The Monastery currently serves a multitude of missions: The residence of the Julians, also known as the Society of St. Julia of Paradisus. The residence of the Right Reverend, Abbess Rebecca Vordenburg, Vicar of the Diocese of Casica and Superior General of the Julians. The residence of Her Eminence, Prelate of the Clergy, Cardinal Rhosyn of Casica. The office for the examination and ordination to the priesthood. — ~ A view of the Grotto of St. Julia, found whilst renovating the basement. ~ ~ The Hermetic Chapel behind the monastery.
