I have never been a fan of sharing a cup so I usually avoid it, and I was not heartbroken when our pastor told us a couple of weeks ago that we won't be using common cup until after flu season is over. <br /><br />As for the Lords Prayer... we always have a funny moment or two when the Pastor decides to have us say the 'contemporary' version rather than the 'King James' version.Mrs. Gamgeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18351339333625358960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-178137137090856297.post-80787680950134789742009-10-23T13:24:13.935-05:002009-10-23T13:24:13.935-05:00Also, I grew up a Cultural Catholic - as in, my mo...Also, I grew up a Cultural Catholic - as in, my mother refused to take us to mass or CCD. As a result, all the prayers my born-in-the-40s parents taught me were pre-Vatican II. <br /><br />I still catch myself saying "forgive us our sins" instead of "forgive us our trespasses." Try explaining that screw up when you're clearly not a baby boomer.wineandroastshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10706227811429388824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-178137137090856297.post-86136199529356470282009-10-23T13:20:50.579-05:002009-10-23T13:20:50.579-05:00Okay, even *I* - not that I'm the best Catholi...Okay, even *I* - not that I'm the best Catholic in the world - don't drink from the chalice. Sorry, Jesus, but the flesh is going to have to be enough.

After communion if you have wine left, you can either pour it in a special hole that goes directly to the dirt (consecrated ground), OR if your church doesn't have that, you have to drink the dregs. Now THAT'S gross.<br /><br />As for the last line in the Lord's Prayer, my mom converted from Congregationalism when she married my dad 43 years ago, and she still screws up occassionally. :-)Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06229841615637364128noreply@blogger.com
