or you wake up in the morning with it still wrapped around your hand from the night before!! 😃
 
You are looking at a pattern for a prayer shawl, and realize with a few modifications, you could make a rosary design.
 
Someone tells you they were listening to Lamb of God and you respond “Miserere nobis” to which they say “…The band…”
 
You know you are a Roman Catholic when…

… you listen to EWTN radio in your car. 🙂
 
Your non-Catholic spouse is thankful when the power goes out because you have so many candles everywhere in your office!
 
You do a google search for ‘You might be a Catholic if’ jokes and get a bunch of links reminding you to go to reconciliation…
 
when you watch Star Wars, and when they say, “May the Force be with you.” You fight the urge to say,“and also with you.”
 
…When you have to make a decision about whether to bring your rosary ring or single-decade rosary with you when you leave the house. 😃
 
…you only crave hamburgers and steaks on Fridays during lent and you crave fish every other day in Lent…just never on Fridays.

…you sneak into protestant churches, sprinkle holy water, and hide blessed medals.

…you spend the first five minutes of the day untangling your scapular from your Miraculous Medal.
 
…You know there’s a deeper meaning behind Valentines Day and St. Patrick’s Day. 🙂
 
… the first thing you do in a new town or at a new job is to look for the nearest Catholic church for daily Mass.
 
… you think there are two religions in the world: Catholic and non-Catholic.

… you catch yourself replying “Just offer it up” when a colleague complains about work.

… you plan vacation time and personal days around Holy Days of Obligation.

… you have three or more given names: John Michael Andrew Peter Smith or Mary Catherine Anne Jones.
 
In a similar vein to the fish problem… when you catch yourself wanting to run all your errands on holy days and want to relax on your work days. 🤷 Concupiscence is a funny thing, if the Church commands us to do something we love all of a sudden we have to fight the urge to do what we hate!

I hate when that happens
I say my rosary on my morning walk, and actually did try listening to some instrumental hymns, but, yep, could not handle the technology for the reason you list. Guess I cannot multitask my prayer life.

sorry, its “and with your spirit” now.

Sunday really is a day of rest

you lose a lot of rosaries when they go through the washer and dryer in your pants pocket (and you have to explain all those beads stuck in the drain to the repairman)

most of the girls and women in your family have some form of “Mary” in their name, or Theresa if not Mary and you have at least one cousing named Bernadette

I used to try to say the name of the now defunct TV mfg. we dealt with and it always came out “RCIA”

When I want to play music I ask for the CCD player

you can spot a real nun at 20 paces even if she is not wearing a habit

you write JMJ by the date on your checks
