...when you're at the cinema and you're tempted to make the Sign of the Cross at the end of a very satisfying movie.

When you walk into a movie theatre and confidently genuflect before you enter your row.  :hehe2:

...you have a rosary hanging from your rearview mirror & a JMJ sticker in your rear window. :)

Spem in alium

...when most of the books on your bookshelf are about Catholicism.

 

Yes! I think I need to buy a new set of shelves. 

...if you carry multiple rosaries and a third-class relic in your bag.

...you walk into your favorite Catholic gift shop & think, "I think I've managed to hang something from here in almost every room of my house!"

Especially icons :love:

...& you know how many rosaries &/or chaplets it takes to walk or drive somewhere!

 

One church I've visited is one rosary away.  Another is around 3/5ths of a rosary away.  I know I'll have the Assumption and the Crowning to get to in the church if I start when I get in the car on a Sunday.  If it's a little longer than a rosary I'll add some prayers for the Holy Souls, the bishop, my priests, my deceased relatives, my family, etc. and I can end the last Glory Be as I pull into the driveway.

 

Unit of measurement:  R

 

Distance to church: 0.6R

 

Jenny and Bill are driving to the Marian shrine 200 miles away.  They can say a rosary in 25 miles of driving.  How many rosaries can they say on the drive there?

I used to live the exact distance of the front and first inner page worth of reading The Catholic Herald from my church............(on foot of course).

 

Since I never learned to drive, all my distances were in prayer lengths - what else can you do when walking?

 

Another place it was one decade, a divine praises, hail holy queen and litany of the saints from town to my house. If I was carrying lots of shopping, an extra decade.

 

You mean not everyone does this?

No, because I don't really pay attention to the prayers when I do. I wish I could... but I inevitably find myself spending significant attention trying not to die. (I mean, I kinda have to check for traffic.)
