Anna Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 I've heard some Catholics complain and ask why we say the Protestant version of the Lord's prayer in our Mass. I have, too! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willguy Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 I think it's kinda funny when, at a nuptial Mass, funeral Mass, or other occasion where there are lots of non-Catholics, the congregation says the Our Father, and the non-Catholics start to say the "For thine is the kingdom . . . " right as the priest says the "Deliver us, O Lord" prayer. I think it confuses them! jasJis- thanx for the history. I'd been wondering about that myself. I know what you mean. The Newman Center on campus has a big opening Mass each year and a lot of non-Catholics go (its almost like a tradition up here. People invite their friends). You can alsays tell who the non-Catholics are from the Our Father (They're also the ones who, when we stand at the end, have the look of "We have to stand again?" on their face.) I sat with two Mormon missionaries this year at the opening Mass; that was interesting. They were very respectful though and tried to fit in (the shirts and ties and name-badges gave them away of course). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
