I once had to go to a High Mass conducted by the Pope in St. Peter's. To my folks it was the experience of a lifetime and it was cool to see them so happy. For me it was almost 2 hours of standing up in a very cool place but essentially boring. I have felt pretty close to heaven in the mountains though.
We are not all the same.

That is a problem, Wabigoon my friend. As a catechist, it is one of my biggest challenges - getting people to pay attention to what they are saying and understanding what it's meaning is. When they do that, they don't act like Deflave. In this case, everybody understands what repetition is - it's anything said more than once. For instance, saying "I love you" to your wife. Or "praise God" at church once a week or even just twice in a life time. But what is vain? We all have a pretty good handle on what taking the Lord's name in vain is - cursing in the lord's name or blaspheming it. Vain is also idle and archaically as in the KJV of the Bible, foolish. Ancient pagans were known to drone on and on using nonsense words. I see a lot of repetition in all worship - how could worship not be repeated? But I don't know of any modern Christian churches that promote vain repetition. But I'm getting sidetracked. Thanks, Jag!  Oh look, a squirrel!

mike r Did they have donuts and coffee in the lobby? No but I had to wait for 2 more hours for the folks and Gma to enjoy the rapture of an audience w/ the guy w/ a funny hat. I hung out in the square looking at the girls and enjoying the Alfas and Ferraris. Viva Roma! My folks were so pumped my Dad sprung for a feast in a ristorante nest to the Tivoli Gardens, I may have seen god as I ate Chicken Angelo w/ Fettucine Alfredo. mike r

I must be on the right track because I never say any of that schit.

That sound pretty sweet. Sometimes my dad would give me a quarter and I'd walk around the block to the Sunoco. They had one of those M&M dispensers. I remember eating those M&M's and thinking "Jesus Christ this sucks."

Thank you all good folks, let us hope, and pray with the help, of the Lord above we get through this time of trial.
Thanks again. Thank YOU, Richard, for starting this thread! My wife and I spend a good part of the day with the Lord, but miss the fellowship! I hope you and yours are all well. Ed
