  • When you collect rosaries and feel the need to have one in every room in the house, one for travel, one for work… and you’re still looking for that really really special one to bring to Mass
  • When the Pope is in the news and your non-Catholic friends (and husband) just look at you
  • When your dad is happy your young daughter seems to contemplate the statuette of Mother Mary in her room

Well, you know you’re a lazy Catholic when, before buying any shirt or pants you consider if you can wear them to Mass. 😃
