I remember fall sleep as a kid listen to my grandma pray in the same way whit a Rosario in his hands. Until today, thats memory remains as the first time i feel asmr and still being the best of all asmr for me ❤✝️
As a traditional Catholic priest, I’m surprised the TLM made it into ASMR. That said, to be able to celebrate it everyday is my favourite thing in life.
I was raised Southern Baptist in Appalachia, but one of my best friends all through childhood was Catholic. My hometown was one of very few in the region with a significant Catholic population as well as a Catholic School. I have always admired their rituals and the liturgical nature of their services, because a lot of Protestants don't have rituals or anything like this.
A lot of Protestants find ritual to be unnecessary and a limitation on how they want to pray or worship, and I never agreed with that sentiment. To have a set of prayers & rituals passed down for centuries still be performed regularly reminds me of how God never changes.
If you're curious, the reason the priest has his fingers to thumb is because it touched the Communion, so in high or solemn mass it's considered to be graced with holy particulate. So to prevent the loss, he assumes this posture known as "canonical digits" to prevent particle loss until he washes his hands in holy water after Communion
