That was one big fat and LIBERAL prayer.

[Botany]

Lord hear our prayer.

[etherealtruth]

1. At times such as this, my Catholic upbringing ....

... without fail, comes to the surface.

Lord hear our prayer.

[gauguin57]

3. OMG ... I'm reciting along at home, too.

I'm as lapsed as you can get ... but I'll follow the program for weddings and funerals.

[Botany]

4. very lapsed Episcopalian here.

.... but I fell into it too.

[nc4bo]

8. Can I join you guys? I'm surprised what I haven't forgotten over the years

and at several family members' funerals.

sigh....

[Odin2005]

13. My Lutheran one, too.

He had that same prayer procedure in my parent's' Lutheran church.

[alsame]

18. LOL, me too. Haven't been to Mass in years, other than weddings and

funerals, but those responses are sure tucked away in long term memory.

[RoccoR5955]

2. Dontcha know, that Jesus Christ was a LIBERAL?!?!?! n/t

Not a progressive, but a L-I-B-E-R-A-L... LIBERAL!

and a socialist!

[FirstLight]

5. I am praying right along too...

(not bad for a newbie Lutheran)

and the words and prayers are so beautifully woven into praising Kennedy's life and recognizing the social diferences between people of Christ's time have never ended...maybe they are more complex - but we still have the capacity and NEED for Compassion!

[Berry Cool]

17. Same here.

You grow up Lutheran, a Catholic liturgy is not radically different from a Lutheran one.

[xchrom]

6. lord...hear our prayer. nt

[Iterate]

7. A good reminder of what has always been best about the church

Ooops, I shouldn't be whispering during Mass.

[pipi_k]

10. I'm not at all religious, but I've always thought that the best thing

about the Church has been the music.

I love Gregorian Chants most of all...



Oh shit..."Ave Maria"

I think I might cry...

[Botany]

11. Ave Maria

What a voice ...... I just got something caught in my eye.

[FlaGranny]

12. Ave Maria -

one of the most beautiful and haunting pieces of music ever written. It always "gets" me.

[GreenPartyVoter]
