[right][snapback]621689[/snapback][/right] [/quote] Envy! (But, you know, it's a good envy... right? ) My pastor just restates each reading. And he pauses... for five seconds... between every phrase. I don't blame people for falling asleep. I don't have that problem, but his cadence is like hypnotism or something. At least now I get to come home and listen to Fr. Pontifex's Phat 5!

Noel's angel Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 My dad started snoring once in Mass, then I also saw a couple kissing..... We've had a few incidents of music stands falling on top of people or people having hick-ups, which is obviously SO hilarious that everyone just HAS to laugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philothea Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Oh, well for actual funny things, my pastor has a tendency to set things on fire. Once he caught his vestments on fire at BOTH of his Easter Vigil masses (he has two parishes.) And the automatic alarm called the fire department....

Old_Joe Posted June 24, 2005 Author Share Posted June 24, 2005 I was on a TEC (Teens Encounter Christ) retreat once and during the Scripture Enthronement, the incense set off the smoke alarms in ths school. We named the retreat PyroTEC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel's angel Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 lol. The fire alarm has gone off a few times on us too. We have also had the bells go off in the middle of Mass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old_Joe Posted June 24, 2005 Author Share Posted June 24, 2005 Also, last night (lot of things happened then) I was leading the rosary before Mass, and the chainlinks on my Rosary came apart. Right during the last decade too. It was kinda funny. I kept praying while trying to fix it, and as soon as I came to the bead after where the break occured I was able to fix it.

IcePrincessKRS Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Laughing and crying can be kind of like (sorry can't think of a better term) charismatic gifts. I don't think its necessarily from Satan. Its one thing when someone near you makes you giggle, or something the priest says is funny, but when you laugh for NO reason at all, thats what I'm talking about. I went to Mass with some friends once when I was in TX and there is a man in their parish who does laughs every Sunday. You can tell he tries to stifle it a little, but he can't help it.

Actually, it's really funny you should mention NCK #7. I was talking to Kate Hall recently, and we were trying to figure out how even though we went on that same retreat, we never actually met until recently.

photosynthesis Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Usually when I'm at Mass in a regular church I'm ok... but when I'm at school, there's Mass on campus, and I really get the giggles there! One I was sitting next to my friend Rob, and during the Consecration his tummy started rumbling loudly...it was like, BLROROOROROOOOOTTTRRRPPPPP Then, one of our priests always has these Freudian slips. During the prayer of the faithful last fall, he said "We pray for the people of Iraq after their recent erection...um, i mean, ELECTION that it might lead to peace." A lot of freshman guys were snickering, and I was doing my best not to laugh. It was especially funny because his face turned really red too ! We have a lot of " liturgical bloopers." Since I play guitar and lead in music, sometimes I'll start strumming the Mass settings at really inappropriate times, or say the responses when Father isn't done with the consecration. It's mortifying. But it's college, so that kind of thing happens when your leaders (i.e. me) don't know what they're doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
