I asked because I was too lazy to look it up. I feel better that you didn’t know either!lol…I was embarrassed that I didn’t know what it meant either, but I didn’t want to ask. Actually tried looking it up in the dictionary.
Going to Australia and/or Hawaii would be the only way I’d ever get on an airplane again, and it better be first class! I’m not afraid to fly, but the possibility of sitting on a runway for 11 hours without water or a bathroom terrifies me!American or Australian dictionary LOL! Sorry! Lost in Translation!
I was always of the opinion that the US and Australia were really quite similar in many ways. Australians often comment that our culture has been “Americanised” due to TV (largely MTV). I thought so too plus we share the same language, similar culture, food, music etc. But having travelled to your beautiful country three times now I have to say that the two countries are really very different!
I didn’t know either until I heard the priest’s response.
OOH! I have years of old Harlequin Romances cluttering up my basement. Some of those are pretty “adult”.
It is such a sad commentary on modern culture that pornography has hijacked that that term.
He also read out “(Patron saint of the day”) instead of mentioning whoever that saint would be for the day.
At the 11:30 Easter Sunday Mass, the priest started the carpet burning from fallen bits of insence. He put it out with the holy water.
Now this is a bad priest:One priest made the “prostate” instead of “prostrate” mistake and I was so afraid he’d do it again. He did.

One of the other choir members set her program on fire during Holy Saturday services last year. This year, the director wouldn’t let us have programs OR candles. We sang the first part by penlight instead.One priest made the “prostate” instead of “prostrate” mistake and I was so afraid he’d do it again. He did.

It was pretty funny. He’s an older gentleman, and we have a couple teen aged girls. He was quite embarassed. The other old folks in the choir, like me, gave him much grief.
Thank goodness they insist on robes for our choir!!!
Then the choir started to sing as I caught the deacon’s eye and he told the celebrant. He turned red and said that it was his fault and blessed us. We laughed about it after Mass. Something similar happened once at Mass. It was over etc and the priest was looking at the music leader like he was asking “where is the recessional song?” The leader made a big sign of the cross. OOOOOOOOOps we got blessed then they started the songAfter the post-communion prayer (this year’s Easter Vigil), the celebrant encouraged us to not say “Happy Easter”, but, instead, to use the ancient Christian greeting of “He is risen” and the response is, “The Lord is indeed risen”. Then, he chanted, “The Mass is ended now go in peace, alleluia, alleluia.” Well, I was trying to hand-signal him that he forgot the final blessing.
we have the large plastic container of holy water by the door from the Easter vigil, so parishioners can fill their containers easily, but some people dump before they look so we had to empty it out, remove the trash, andhave Father bless more holy water. I am trying to figure out why people would have in their hands, for disposal when leaving church, soda cans, snack bags, newspapers (secular, not OSV or parish bulletin), junk mail and broken toys.One priest made the “prostate” instead of “prostrate” mistake and I was so afraid he’d do it again.
