Awkward Catholic Moment #4: Forgetting the Mass parts when you have help out with Mass.

J.M.J.A.T.K.G

A couple of months ago while I was walking into church someone asked me collect money and to bring up the gifts during Mass. Simple enough so I said yes.
As I was walking away I realized I hadn't done this in a long time. I then started wrecking my brain trying to remember when I was suppose to do all of this.
I've been Catholic all of my life yet I couldn't remember when when to do my job.
This happens everytime I have to do something for Mass.

Good thing I'm not a priest.

Of course, when the time came I just knew the right time to go and help collect the money. It was all instinct. This is what I like about the Catholic Mass. It's always, basically, the same.
Another thing I like about the Mass is that even if I did mess up...no one would care if I would have forgotten to take their money. ;) (Though they probably would have been alittle upset if I forgot to take up the gifts...those are kinda important...)
 Mistakes happen. It wouldn't have been the end of the world.

Now if the priest messed up...

  1. They forgot to turn the page yesterday in the lectionary. So we reread the parable of the sower and then heard a homily on the wheat and the tears :)
