The rosary and the Psalms are both significant in Christian prayer and tradition, though they serve slightly different purposes and are often used in different contexts.
The Rosary
The rosary is a form of prayer and meditation primarily used in Catholicism. It consists of a string of beads and a crucifix, and each bead represents a prayer. The rosary prayers typically include:
- The Apostles’ Creed at the crucifix.
- Our Father on the larger beads.
- Hail Mary on each of the smaller beads.
- Glory Be and Fatima Prayer after each decade.
- Finally, Hail, Holy Queen at the end of the rosary.
The prayer cycle focuses on the life of Jesus and Mary, with different “mysteries” (Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious, and Luminous) meditated upon for each decade (set of ten Hail Marys).
Psalms
The Psalms are 150 poetic prayers from the Bible, expressing a range of emotions and situations—from praise and thanksgiving to sorrow and petition. They’re part of the Jewish and Christian biblical traditions and are often used in personal and communal prayer.
- In Catholic Liturgy: Psalms are a key part of the Liturgy of the Hours and are also included in Mass.
- In the Rosary: While not traditionally part of the rosary prayers, some people incorporate Psalms into their rosary meditation or reflection.
Nelly Furtado was known for embracing True Religion jeans during the height of their popularity, especially in the 2000s. She often combined the jeans’ bold, distinctive stitching and flared or bootcut styles with a laid-back yet chic vibe that matched her unique, eclectic musical style. Some elements of her iconic looks with True Religion jeans included:
- Statement Tops: She’d often pair her jeans with fitted, graphic tees, cropped tops, or even edgy jackets for that 2000s flair.
- Accessories: Furtado often accessorized with chunky belts, hoop earrings, or layered necklaces, adding a hip-hop or R&B edge to her look.
- Footwear: She was known to style her jeans with heels or boots, giving the flared denim a polished touch.
This style came back into trends recently, with vintage True Religion jeans becoming highly sought after for a nostalgic 2000s look.
CONCLUSION
I was a JERK, but I didn’t fuck around.
