I do that at thrift store, garage sales, and on vacation. My husband will catch me counting beads, and just shake his head.

When people cut you off in traffic and instead of swearing at them, you bless them with the sign of the cross.

When you say "Thank you, Jesus" at random points during your work day, and you mean it!

When you know the memorial acclamation by just one word from the priest.

"Christ..."

"has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again."

"Dying..."

"You destroyed our death, rising You restored our life. Lord Jesus come in glory."

"Lord..."

"by Your cross and resurrection You have set us free. You are the savior of the world."

"When..."

"we eat this bread and drink this cup we proclaim Your death, Lord Jesus, until you come in glory."

"Keep...

"in mind that Jesus Christ has died for us and is risen from the dead. He is our saving Lord, He is joy for all ages."
