Who knew Catholic culture could saturate so many parts of your life? The longer you are Catholic, the more you realize there are certain things you will only hear a Catholic say. And then there’s the things your friends ask you… because they are not Catholic. Here’s a list of what you’ll only hear in a Catholic home.
“If we don’t get some artwork of Jesus on the walls, people are going to think we idolize Mary.”
“I haven’t used these bibles (Protestant translations) in forever.”
“So what did you think of THAT mass?”
“Did you do your chart today?” (Because NFP)
Translation for women: “Are we having sex tonight??”
“We need to have Father Michael over for dinner so he can bless our house.”
“Do we have to go to midnight mass?”
“Do I seriously have to go to school with the ashes on my forehead?”
“Why is your Christmas tree still up?”
“Yay, today is your baptism anniversary!”
“Does this Mass count or do we still have to go on Sunday?”
“In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.”
“Where’s the nearest Catholic Church when we travel out of town next week?”
“I fell asleep at adoration today.”
“Where’s my Rosary!??!”
“Did you see all those people leave right after Communion today?”
“Saint Anthony, please help me find my child’s shoes… or keys or wallet or phone or keys or grocery list or keys…”
“Father [so and so] is doing the mass- bet you $5 he quotes the Pope.”
“Shoot, I forgot my allergy meds and it’s an incense mass.”
“Can I drink this holy water?”
“We forgot to bury the Alleluias.”
“We need to go to church early… I need to go to confession.”
It’s the feast day of…
Great job, Catholics!
