Please, if your parish has you read the “crowd” part of the Passion, know that it is “Prof-a-SIGH”, not “Prof-a-see.” Every year the majority of the crowd says, “Prophecy.”

Thank you!
 
Oh, my pet peeve too and we got a double whammy today as we had prophesy which was pronounced as prophecy and blasphemed was pronounced as blasphemyd. But then again, the only time I ever got to do that part I pronounced Barabbas wrong, pronouncing it behr-a-buhs (closer to the French way) rather than Buh-rabb-uhs

. . . when it should be “bar - abBAS.”

(said the language geek)
 
Oh. My pet peeve is saying the crowd part. 🤷 I don’t want to say those things.
 
I’ll do you one better.Every year,my parish has pretty much the same five parishioners,along with the priest,read the Passion,as the various figures.The priest,of course portraying Christ.
It is very theatrical and really IMO,would prefer a more traditional approach to reading the Passion:shrug:

I understand the point of saying the crowd part.

But I can never understand what anyone is saying. It sounds like,

“Mumble, mumble, mumble.”

In our parish, since the introduction of the new Canadian Lectionary in 2011, we in the pews don’t have to say anything. The entire reading of the Passion is done by the Narrator, the Priest as Jesus and one other reader doing the S. part. I can finally put my Missal away and just listen. 😃
 
My pet peeve is people who come on here and complain about how other people pronounced words at Mass.

Not everyone is a scholar, not everyone has studied languages, not everyone has even finished high school. My 85 year old FIL only has an 8th grade education, but I’d put his daily rosary and devout spiritual life up against anyone here.

I don’t care whether or not he can pronounce Greek and Hebrew words or whether he says “prophesy” correctly. And frankly making fun of people and being “peeved” about something like this is just WRONG.

God does not require correct pronunciation of words to enter the Kingdom.

Can’t we go one day on here where we just praise God, not pick other people apart?
 
Oh, and our priest is from Poland, so he doesn’t pronounce much of anything “correctly”.

I am just thankful we HAVE a priest.

I know what you mean. We had a discussion about eventually removing the crowd from this kind of participation on another thread. But who will do it then?

:thumbsup:Sometimes we sound as smug and superior as that philosphy professor and his friends from “God’s Not Dead”

Good point. My parish priest is also from Poland and I’d wish once in a while he would just say the Mass in Polish.

That is how our parish did it this year. I really enjoyed it. It was not theatrical in the least. Only 2 parishioners and the priest. IMHO they hit the nail on the head with this formula.

Good point, but he could just as well be from the U.K. or South Africa or even Texas as far as provoking pet peeves in pronunciation.
