Back when there were alter rails and people would kneel and the next group would line up in front of the first pew! I was in that first pure holding my 2 years old son. A rather large woman stood in front of us. My son hit her and in a very loud voice said “ move lady, I can not see Jesus!
Hahaha! This made me laugh so hard!! 🤣🤣
That’s amazing!!! 😂
Omg 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You people who think this is so hilarious really serious lack of respect for the Church and our Lord.
I never miss a show...u guys r the best..I love ur show..best show on TV... & internet..
I am a Catholic pre-k teacher and we go to school mass every Friday. One school mass while father was preparing the Eucharist, he held up the Cup and one of my preschoolers stood and in the midst of silence says, “Oh no! Is he going to drink the potion?!”
My three year old daughter accompanied us to mass. We happened to sit near the front center. At the most crucial moment, Father raises the host. My dramatic daughter sings out in her best stage whisper guaranteeing everyone for ten rows can hear. "MOM THEY'VE GOT CHIPS!"
We had an elderly priest, Father Walsh, when I was in high school (1968), who was very hard of hearing. We would monthly go to confession in Catholic school. So, the nuns would escort us to the church, and expected the students to evenly distribute among our priests for confession. No one would go to Father Walshes’ confessional. After, one student had gone in, we could hear everything Father said to the student. When we heard him say “ you did WHAT”, that made all of us laugh so hard we were crying. None of us ever wanted to go to him for confession after that!
It was my turn to receive the eucharist, years ago, and I simply blanked out. Instead of saying "Amen " as a reply to "The body of Christ" I said "Thank you". The poor guy was stunned.
lmao
Not liturgically correct, but it’s the sentiment that counts!
I did that once too!!
My most embarrassing church moment: my dad (the deacon) and the priest celebrating mass (his close friend) were prepping communion. Instead of water my father poured WINE on the priests hands. It would have been fine if my dad hadn’t said “shhh it’s fine it’s fine just go with it” and they both lost it for a split second.
Hahahhaha
Our most embarrassing moment...momma was wearing a wrap around skirt and she was walking toward the priest right after mass and her skirt fell 😅🤣😁 right in front of the priest
My sister was at an ACTS retreat which starts on Thursday & ends on Sunday. Anyone that has been to one knows you can’t talk to your loved ones until Sunday but on Saturdays there is a candlelight vigil & your loved ones are there to sing & pray with you as the procession of the retreatants come in. They are each holding a candle & with it being dark, my sister didn’t see us right away. She then got a glimpse at us & leaned back to wave at us. I guess the girl behind didn’t realize she had leaned back & her candle started my sister’s hair on fire! We were all waving real big at her trying to let her know her hair is on fire so she starts waving really big too thinking we’re really excited to see her. The girl behind her starts swatting her head & manages to put it out! Oh my gosh!!! Freakin’ hysterical!!! We started calling her the “burning bush”! & told her she was “on fire for Jesus!!” 🤣 When you come from a large Catholic family of 14 (7 girls & 7 boys), don’t expect anybody to cut you any slack!!!🤣🤣🤣
That made me LOL🤣
I LOLd for real! Haha! 🤣
Same sister, the one “one fire for Jesus”: We all go to Mass out at a grotto & she wants to sit next to our elderly Mom because she brought her umbrella & wants to protect her in case it rains. We sat right in the front pew & sure enough, it starts raining. She pops open her umbrella but instead of it opening like it should, it opened straight up & started catching the rain like a cup. We tried so hard not to giggle but once one of us started it was hard to get ourselves back together. We heard other people trying to contain themselves too! It was really funny!!!
I'm wheezing 🤣💀
@@malgrosskreuz01 it was hysterical!!! 🤣🤣😭🤣😭
Yeah, at our wedding vows the celebrant asked my (soon to be) husband to repeat "I promise to share my life" and he said "I promise to share my wife", and turned into a one of those funny family video moments that everyone broke in laugh :)
We went to Mission Santa Barbara in CA with our 4 kids for a Sunday liturgy. During the announcements, the priest talked about the fund raising efforts to renovate part of the mission. Then he said that if you wanted to use a credit card, see one of the usher in the back of the church. My 5 year old son yells out “ Alright, Dad. Frequent Flyer Miles!”
Our family of seven sat in the first pew every Sunday. My parents were busy with 2 middle school aged children and 3 of my siblings under 3 years. One particularly busy Sunday (the days you had to fast 3 hours before receiving the Eucharist) my 3 year old younger sister who was sitting on the kneeler looking at a children’s Bible book announced to my parents she wasn’t “wearing any panties.” This was bad enough but the pew was directly under the pulpit. Yes, the priest was delivering the sermon. People were laughing at least 3 pews back. I decided then never to sit in the front row when I had kids as they (all grown now) never failed to embarrass me at Mass and I ALWAYS DOUBLE CHECKED THE UNDERWEAR BEFORE LEAVING THE HOUSE. Our parish priest never failed to mention how he always kept sermon notes because that day our family helped him lose his train of thought. He always winked at us before a sermon he was giving. We all knew why!
You guys made me binge watch the whole day! I learned a lot about my faith within 24 Hours! God Bless you all!
Also, please pray for my country, the Philippines, as it celebrates its 500th year of Catholicism this year.

So my uncle, aunt and their kids were at Mass and during the homily at Mass the priest said "Jesus Christ" and my little cousin (who was maybe 4 at the time) gasped and said really loudly "we're not allowed to say that at our house, are we mummy?!"
The first time my sister and husband brought their three year old foster son to Mass, he had no idea what was going on and became restless. Finally, my bro-in-law held him up with his feet on the back of the pew in front of them so he could see. This seemed to work because he quieted down and watched. All was fine until the consecration when he cried out loudly, “Hey! Who’s ringin’ that bell?”
Mine happened during the Advent time. In Philippines there is a tradition we call Misa de Gallo(Rooster's Mass), which is a novena Mass held for nine consecutive days before Christmas. It starts early in the morning (usually four or five in the morning). I work on the graveyard shift, so after work, before going home, I would pass by a church to attend it.
There was one morning I was especially feeling drowsy while I attended. My pew was in the direct line of a fan, so a cool breeze was hitting me when we are seated. During the priest's homily, I didn't realize I dozed off. I only realized when I felt the room was suddenly warmer. It was warm because the whole congregation has already stood up for the prayers after the homily, and the pew in front of us are blocking the breeze.
I stood up quickly, upsetting my bag in the process which fell with a loud thud. 😆
I was in adoration when i had apparently fallen asleep. When I heard someone cough behind me I jumped hard enough to throw my book in the air and nearly fall out of the pew.
😂😂😂
Oh man I’ve thought about spending all night in a chapel but I haven’t done it because im afraid of falling asleep n possibly rolling off my pew 😂😂😂
😂
Come on, if you haven't fallen asleep at adoration you either aren't going enough or you are lying to yourself.
I attended World Youth Day in 2008 in Sydney Australia. A week before I was at a Passionists Youth Encounter in Melbourne with other Passionist pilgrims from around the world. At one of the Masses, I was sitting behind a girl from Argentina with long hair, and when I stood up to go for communion, my nametag got snagged in her hair. I had to take my lanyard off and leave it hanging until I returned back. People around me were laughing. I felt so bad and a bit embarrassed.
On my baptism and confirmation night, I spilled wax all over my black slacks because instead of blowing out the candle, I tried to fan it out by moving it rapidly across my lap. The end result looked exactly like what you’d imagined. I almost ran out of the church when I heard a group photo was to be taken for all the neophytes in front of the altar.
I'm not a proud man. Once, while camping with my buddies, we visited a rural parish for mass. The priest there was a central African man... with a lisp. He gave a FANTASTIC homily, but Lord forgive us my friends and I were giggling like children. As soon as mass was over, we were laughing our butts off. To this day, quoting his homily will get a laugh out of us.
Our church was going thru a major remodel, and outside wall was taken down. When the priest said to bow our heads and pray, I did and between my feet was a fat ray just chillin, I screamed and everyone in the pew saw and jumped onto the pew.
I’m presuming it was a fat 🐀 RAT!!! 😂😂😂 That is hilarious!
I thought, “Like a MANTA ray? The church wall was also a sea wall? That doesn’t sound right…” 😅
@@gretahoostal8565 no this was not a sea wall, this was in Colorado. 😂🤣🤣🤣
On Mother’s Day a few weeks ago, after Father did the Blessing of the Mothers at the end of Mass, we prayed the St. Michael the Archangel prayer. And Father said, “St. Michael the Archangel defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the Mother.” 😂😂
At my brother-in-law’s wedding the priest says “Let us pray.” A young child yells “NOOOO!” 🤣
LOL thats great!!!!!
😂😂😂
😂🤣😂🤣
Once when my dad and his uncle were at a relative's funeral, my dad's stomach started growling loudly so the whole congregation could hear it. They were both desperately trying not to laugh while my dad's stomach continued to growl. Eventually my dad's uncle leaned over and whispered to my dad, "for goodness sake, sing something!" my dad loves to tell that story... 😂
This is hysterical. Loved it. We r all human and stuff happens! Thanks for the laugh
Amen!
As a Reader or Lector I also read the Prayer Intentions. I once said, "we pray for the Response of the Soul of..." I didn't realize what I had said until the Lay Associate Pastor quickly corrected me to, "Repose of the Soul of..." I got back to the Sacristy and laughed for a long time. Unfortunately, the wife of the deceased husband was very offended.
Imagine if something supernatural had occurred!
My family have always been Hobbit fans...so naturally, when the lector asked us all to pray "For the repose of the soul of Bill Beau..." I snorted just a wee bit too loud...
I always took my baby to Sunday Mass. He is now 64 years old. When he was a toddler I always stood him beside me on the seat so he could see everything. One Sunday morning at Mass when the bells rang my son yelled out I-keem man, I-keem man as he looked up and around for the ice cream man. I felt so embarrassed. I looked around and the congregation was very kind. Everyone was smiling. My baby did not interrupt the Mass. At the door when leaving Mass the priest smiled at us. I am still telling this story with cuteness.
We were at mass for my Uncles funeral when a woman in the pew in front of us phone rings and I kid you not the ring tone was “another one bites the dust “ needless to say we could not stop laughing the rest of the mass.
The was a legend at St John Cathedral in Milwaukee. The rector was explaining why the band was in the same building as the gym at the end of the property. It used to be in the basement of the Cathedral until during a funeral the band piped up with Merrily We Roll Along
😂😂😂
LOL, I can relate to this...
The day of my Mom's funeral was very difficult & extremely painful as one might imagine. I struggled through her Mass, her service at the cemetery, & the reception afterward. Before the meal I was the one to offer Grace, & just as I finished we received a sign that had mouths gaping open & seem to be reassurance that all was well with her; she felt very close at that moment.
Still feeling quite emotional & a bit overwrought, I drove back to my Mom's house after the reception with the car radio on as a distraction. I pulled up in front of her house as one song was finishing & as I reached to turn off the ignition key, "Another One Bites the Dust" came on the radio! I burst out laughing, looked to Heaven & in my most scandalized voice said, "MOM!!!" That absolutely was her sense of humor... I could almost hear her giggle & see the mischievous glint in her eye! My mood had shifted to one of gratitude & celebration...it was such a gift.

@@mcsmama that’s awesome!! Thanks for sharing made my day- I think I would’ve loved your mom
@@s388tee4 Aww, thank you... your comment brought tears to my eyes! I think you would have too! She was a hilarious & mischievous mix of no-nonsense Gaelic "call 'em like you see 'em", with a true love of & devotion to her Faith, & a sprinkle of Irish-Catholic irreverence. My wonderful Father was much the same, except less blunt & more patient! Haha! Truly fine people of Faith. You'll get to meet them some day! God bless!
I was twirling my retainer around in my mouth during Father's sermon. Well, twirled it too much and it flew out of my mouth. Mom was NOT happy, especially since we were front and center. Luckily it did not hit anyone. Haha
First time I’d been to a Catholic Church in the Dallas Fort Worth area; Plano specific. They passed the baskets around, and this particular Church had one big basket they dumped all the little ones into... when the Priest looked in the “Big Basket” he started yelling at everyone to send the baskets around again. He started pointing at people and naming names. People scrambled for their wallets. I got up and left before he got to me.
I’d never seen anything like that in my life or since. Most definitely didn’t go back there. It did some damage, I’ll admit but I found my way back, Glory be to God.
I live right across the street from The National Shrine in Saint Augustine. I go to Mass there every day and walk down to the Cathedral on Sundays. The Sacred Acre is a beautiful place, I am so blessed to live here and accept His mighty Graces. This is also a wonderful community with obvious deep history.
Everybody wants a car or a scooter. The Lord helps those who move their feet and if you’re in a wheel chair, I’ll push you around myself if that’s what is keeping from you building a life around a daily Mass, communion every day, and The Rosary. Confession; Total Forgiveness.
This is a place of healing and resurrection. Miracles happen here very frequently. It’s like having one foot on the beach and another in the heavens.

recently on the Easter vigil procession there was quite a windy night. singing the "come and take the light from the everlasting light" (dont know the correct English version) and then a wind burst suddenly blew away everyone's candles.
So much joy and authenticity at one table. This is what we need more of in the world. Thanks for the good laugh guys!
Awesome episode-I definitely needed that laugh! My embarrassing moment-I was probably 14/15....it was a little bit before I was confirmed. They were having a mass for the confirmation candidates and their sponsors. I went to the restroom a little before mass started. Priest and altar boys were lining up as I was walking back to my pew. As I’m getting in the pew, I can feel a slight breeze and my friend and her sponsor are whisper-screaming my name.....I had tucked my dress into the back of my tights. Oh man, it’s been over 20 years and I still cringe. 😂
Kid behind us who clearly needed a kids' missal and to be brought to Mass more often: "Church is boring! Church is dumb!"
-------------------------------------------------------
Girl behind me in line coming back from our First Holy Communion: "It tastes like old oatmeal."
Me (feisty Irish American girl with a bit of a mouth): "That's *JESUS* you just ate!"
-------------------------------------------------------
Long Lenten sermon is in progress at a Traditional Latin Mass in a small chapel. A mom in front of us is patting her six month old baby's back after nursing them.
Baby: *BORP!!*
Father Charles (the celebrant): "Was that a comment?"
Congregation: *Erupts into uncontrollable laughter*
when my husband was a toddler, he was at his baby cousin's baptism.
When the priest asked "do you reject Satan?" he loudly screamed "NO!"
What do you do at that point?
oh man...! the parents must've sent him straight to catechism class! that's hilarious! 🤣
Hi my mam was lighting a candle In The church my mam had a furry hat that I got her for Christmas . While she was bending down to get coins to put into box to pay . Her hat caught alight and she never knew , but a priest seen it and was trying to tell her , but my mam was hard of hearing so he was belting the hat from her head . My mam said to me when she got home she thought her time was up🤣🤣🤣🙂
The Coolest Catholic Show in entire Universe !!
When I was in the seminary, I was helping a nervous classmate with having to read from Daniel Chapter 3. He kept tripping over the names "Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego". We practiced it a few times, and he felt like he had it down. When it came time to read it, he nervously said "Shadrach, Meshach, and Tobedwego".
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was a lector for years. I said that once but fortunately during my solo practice sessions. I also said "No ear has seen" once at the pulpit...
At my sister's confirmation my brother and cousin who were maybe 8 years old were altar servers. My cousin held the Bishop's Crozier (staff) and my brother the Bishop's headdress. During the Bishop's homily my brother and cousin must have gotten bored because suddenly my cousin lost his grip on the Crozier and we watched it fall and hit the floor with a resounding WHACK! The whole church went silent and my aunt gasped thinking it had broken. Thankfully all was well and the Bishop had a great sense of humor about it.
PROUD TO BE CATHOLIC.
Me too 🏴
In the Liturgy, someone told me I sang well & should join the choir (haven’t yet, have been too busy w/ young children so far), so if I have the music, I sing as loud as the choir is. And at Communion we sing, “Receive the Body of Christ, Taste the Fountain of Immortality, Alleluia!” But since I don’t have quite enough practice not being in the choir, once or twice I’ve sung, that loudly 😬, instead of “immortality”, “IMMORALITY”. 😅 I hope it wasn’t noticeable!
P.S. At another church, there are 2 huge cabinets of relics, including bits of bones of Sts Joachim & Anna. We have a little girl who is excitable, strong-willed, & high-strung. Her name’s Anna, so she likes to venerate the relic of St Anna. She was 4 at the time, & had been perfectly good in church every Sunday for several months. So I thought it would be fine to lift her up to look at it. JUST THEN, & it was during the church service too, she cried out & flailed around, & her FOOT HIT THE PLATE GLASS! Nothing was broken, but I was sweating! Carried her out & never lifted her up there again or took her very close.
The Norman Conquest of England 😂😂😂😂 I’m crying laughing at this episode!!
We were visiting a new parish and my daughter saw a beautiful painting of Jesus’ garments being taken from him at the foot of the cross. She shouted out “he’s NAKED!!” Right in the middle of Mass 😆
😂😂😂
when I was a kid, my germaphobic mother wouldn't let us dip our fingers in holy water fonts. She said they were filled with bacteria. Even as a young adult, I found holy water gross and refused to touch it. My priest, knowing this, decided to get me while he was standing by the door to church after Mass saying bye to parishioners. On my way past him, he got a handful of holy water out of the font, called my name, and flung it in my face when I turned around. Thanks to my 20-year phobia of holy water, I shrieked and tried to dodge it, tripped, and fell. Looking up from the ground at the horrified, awkwardly silent fellow parishioners, did I realize screaming and falling over is NOT a good response to a priest dousing you with holy water.
This is good guys spend time - fun without alcohol. Thanks Catholic Talk Show for being exemplary.
I had just moved into my new home and new state. When Saturday arrived, and I placed in my GPS the address of my new Church. When I arrive, I was very excited and found out that there will be a brief St Vincent dePaul Society update and membership request. The gentleman gave his information and was having difficulty finding a exit statement & just at that moment my phone announced that I have arrived at St Lucie RC Church. It was very loud and clear. I shrink into the pew and apologized. Meanwhile the gentleman asked if I could attend all the Mass that weekend with a rerun of the announcement at that right moment. I am now a caseworker for St Vincent dePaul & have been for a year.
This episode made my laugh so much, I have watched it twice now. Thank you gentlemen for the much needed joy. Hugs from Colorado
As a lector, I walked down the aisle preceding the celebrant, carrying the Book of the Gospels. As I stepped down from the altar after placing the Book on the altar, I missed the first of two steps, then missed the second, and continued to misstep until I fell head first into the front of the first pew. Next thing I knew my father and a few others were leaning over me. I looked over at the Celebrant, who naturally was celebrating his first mass in his new parish; he had a look of shock (maybe he was already thinking "lawsuit." HaHa!) I was so embarrased. And hurt! I broke my arm very badly. I was so embarrased to return to church the next weekend with a broken arm! Funny thing about the whole story is that every time I repeat it, even right after it happened and I was in a cast, I get nothing but laughs! While it is funny, at the time I wouldn't have minded a little sympathy! This happened in 2000 at St. Thomas More in Decatur, GA.
I've been laughing during the whole episode. It feels better I am not the only one suffering embarrassing things. Thanks, guys.
My fiancé decided to take me to a Traditional Latin Mass just shortly after I'd been confirmed. I was new to things and had many questions. One of them was "What's up with the towel the priest has?" He replied "It's a maniple." I whispered back sincerely concerned "Mandibles?" and held my index fingers up around my mouth doing a clack clack gesture. He lost it, and then the two of us both had to step out for giggles. Every time he smirks at Latin mass now I know what he is thinking of.
You guys really add(or subtract) to my Christian faith. 🤣 I hope I don't lose too many spots on the line to heaven. A decade for you guys sometime this week! 🍻🥨
Just a few months ago, I went to mass with my dad on Sunday. After I received the Eucharist, I accidentally went the wrong way to go back to my pew, and I accidentally cut in front of the person who received after me. Not a big deal, right? Well, that mass is the mass that my church livestreams, and the camera focused on the front, so it caught my mess up. It wasn’t until I got home when my mom told me, “Nice going the wrong way.” when I realized that my little goof up made it on the livestream. I was so embarrassed after that, but looking at it now, I laugh at myself, because it’s so funny to me.
One time my husband and I were in line for communion. He was behind me. The altar server kid accidentally gave me two hosts. One hit the mark and one fell to the floor. Afterward, I happened to remind my husband not to chew the host or something. He said "Well at least I didn't spit mine out." I was laughing so hard I had to leave.
I don’t know if you or he did it, but I’d go to confession for desecration of the host if you dropped it accidentally
@@Marianrest I didn't drop it, the kid did. I don't take it in my hand. He picked it right up. This happened again years later and the server gave me a deer in the headlights look, so I picked it up and put it in my mouth. It's Jesus, so, that seemed best.
That was classy. I would pick it up to it is Jesus after all😁
@@Marianrest There's no need for confession for accidentally dropping the Host. If it was done on purpose, that's another story.
My Grandma used to be lector at Mass. My Grandparents lived in the same small town all their married lives, so everyone in town knew them. It was the kind of small town that had the "German" Catholic Church and "Irish" Catholic Church. Obviously, Mass was celebrated the same at each. They went to the Irish Catholic Church where they did the Lamb of God in latin. As you know, lectors sit in the front row. I would spend summers with them. Now, my Grandfather was a sweet, funny man. When we all went to Mass and it came to the Lamb of God, he would make up some gibberish like,"Meet me on a stormy night" but sing them along with tune. I would crack up laughing and would try to stifle it. My whole body would be racked with laughter. My Grandma would give me the Stare. The priest would just kinda smile. Grandpa would look innocent and sing the correct words when we tried to explain by point at him. Of course, Grandma & the priest knew exactly what was going on. Both of my Grandparents have passed, but all of us grandchildren will still sing, "Meet me on a stormy night" whenever the Lamb of God is sung in latin. I have passed it along to my children & will definitely pass it to my grandchildren.
Don't you think that joke, especially at that part of the Mass, should be discontinued?
Gentlemen, I needed a good laugh. Thanks for sharing this! Too funny!🤣
Don't cut the episodes!!! 😆 I want to see y'alls sudden laugh attacks!! 🤣🤣😝🤪
I haven't laughed this much in such a long time 🤣 you guys are hilarious! God bless and keep it up #proudpatron
Once, at 10:00 am Mass, two brothers we know through some friends were singing and the older one messes up during the offertory antiphon and almost starts laughing. My dad, my brother, and I, were sitting in our pew trying so hard to not laugh!!!!! It was really, really funny!!!!
I was a scout dad at a scout Mass when they had a missionary priest from Jamaica or somewhere. When he read from the gospel, he said, "Peace-ah be with you" and "Peace-ah be with you', he said again." I whispered to the young boy scout next to me, "Oh no! It's father Jar-Jar!" The poor kid fought SO hard to not laugh out loud!
TRULY LAUGHTER IS THE BEST MEDICINE ITS A AWESOME VIDEO
Well now I wanna watch just because of Fr. Pagano’s face in the thumbnail. 😂
Me too
Watch this video, it will save your eternal life.. czcams.com/video/vknUpipM8DU/video.html
I’m gonna have to rewatch this straight away!
I’m crying 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for this episode guys.
You’re right we all need it!!!! ❤️
My whole life has been a hysterical embarrassment so nothing comes to mind I love all the laughs though .
I was lector reading Elijah and the prophets of Baal. Suddenly I looked up and realized I had the whole church ready to break up. I looked at Father Luis and he had this wide eyed look.
i got lost after communion for some reason i always am forced to sit at the end of the pew and my parents always sit in the middle when it was time to go receive communion my family was behind me and this little old lady was in front of me and i went and received communion and continued following the old lady she went to the right but my family went back to our pew on the left side of the church i stood there and was confused and then i walked ALL the way around the church back to my seat ☠ thankfully none of my friends were there this week
Can't wait brothers!
Thanks for all the laughs. I’ve recently discovered your podcast and it’s so enlightening! I’ve shared it with those dearest to me. God bless 🙏🏽
I went to the monastery in Conyers, Georgia many times when I was little. They made the most beautiful stained glass! Many blessings for the three of you.
Guys, awesome show! I was in stitches!
You guys are awesome together. May God Bless you💕
Hi gang I have been a practicing Catholic all my life and have never read the bible. By the way. We have just had our little grandson 3rd member of our family. By the way Father I still have my holy water font. Passed on from my mother whose parents were Irish. Praying for our Church and our world. Please Our Lady and St Joseph please pray for us. 👍🙏❤💙❤⛪🌏
Congratulations on your grandson. You can get a good Catholic bible and start reading it. It's never too late. Maybe you can find a good Catholic bible study (in-person or on-line). 🙂🥰
@@marcihf217 yes but me and my family attended mass when permitted. 🙏⛪
@@angelakeen5330 🥰😘🥰
If you would like to finally get through the Bible, I strongly recommend the podcast "The Bible in a Year" with Fr. Mike Schmitz... it is EXCELLENT! In 2021 I made it through virtually the entire Bible for the first time in my life, & have started my 2nd go-through this year. Each day's session averages about 23 minutes & Fr. Mike gives a prayer & reflection on the readings each day to help provide insights & understanding. The format is unique, grouping multiple sections of the Bible together in ways that help make it easier to follow. There is also a reading plan you can download to help you follow along at the same time. The format is available in CZcams videos as well as the podcast & there is no pressure of "getting behind". It is truly a blessing!

My son was ring bearer in family wedding, had carry a small silk pillow with the wedding ring attached. He was told to hold on to flower girls hand all the way down the aisle, well the pillow slipped down his arm and he spent whole time down the aisle trying to get it back as it was dangling from his waist without letting go of her hand. He stole the show.
You all have made my day. During this time of pandemic we have very little to make us laugh. I laughed so much today. Thank you so much. 🤣
Once when I was in formation for religious life, I was at daily Mass at a local parish. When I went up for communion, my mind must have been somewhere else because when I was presented with The Host, I said "Thank you," instead of, "Amen." I had never done that before (or since), and then I got a case of the giggles from my embarrassment.
oof one time when i went up to receive communion i took it wrong (i grabbed it out of our priests hand (every one else does) and my Godmother who taught me the right way saw and i got the most DISAPROVING look i was so embarresed now i take xtra care to recieve it the correct way ☠
At our parish I stand next to the lectors and priest to interpret the mass into sign language for the Deaf. One Sunday, we had the reading that lists several sins and Fr, J began his homily by saying he wouldn't, but could ask people what sins they'd committed, for example, fornication? Raise your hand. The only way to sign that was to raise my hand. Suddenly, everyone in church was laughing l looked at Fr. J next to me to see him doubled over laughing, holding onto to ambo. Shaking my head I looked out at the congregation and pointed to my finger where my wedding ring usually was, forgetting that I'd taken it off to interpret, so that was no help. When Fr. J recovered enough to speak he said, "She's not doing it, she's just signing it!" Which was true!
OMG, I truly laughed out loud at this... several times! Hilarious... Thanks for sharing it! Our pastor signs our 9:45 Sunday Mass each week & I'm sure he would giggle at this story, if I could just figure out a respectful way to share it with him! Haha!

@@mcsmama I'm so glad my comment ticked your funny bone! ☺ Thanks for letting me know. When you figure out how to comfortably share it, go ahead!
@@lyndavonkanel8603 I sent Fr. Roz a text earlier tonight with the video link after our Sunday vigil Mass & suggested he read the comments as well. I told him there was a comment regarding signing that I thought would tickle him! That gives me an opening now to bring it up this Friday when I see him for a funeral as part of our Arimathea ministry work. :)

@@mcsmama I am delighted to hear that!
@@mcsmama Please let me know his reaction to my comment. (I added something I forgot to mention; shaking my head while uselessly pointing to my bare ring finger.)
Love seeing you guys laugh,great show!
Great, I'm waiting for this one. Want to know about the seminary incident of Dellacrosse which was mentioned in the video about Holy Water. Can't wait!
Here’s an incident that happened when I was a little girl (maybe 6 or 7?). My family and I were in charge of bringing the gifts to the altar at Mass. Yours truly was in charge of carrying the host. Yours truly dropped said host midway up the aisle and didn’t notice until we reached the altar, at which point I looked down and noticed it was no longer in my hands. Having to run back, pick it up, and return to our seats afterward was quite the experience. 😅
awesome episode
A story from my time in the religious life. The head of our house was a Friar named Fr. M. He was a BIG Packers fan and it was around the time of the super bowl. I was serving on the altar and during mass right at the consecration, Fr. M lifted up the chalice and his phone went off, he forgot to put it on silence. The funny part was, his ring tone was a load of football fans screaming "Go Packs GO!, Go Packs GO! Go Packs GO!".. 😆😆😆
So while father lifted first up the host, that ring tone was going off and echoing through the whole church during Sunday mass.. and then again while he held up the chalice and there was nothing he could do about it. We were dying.. We ribbed him quite a bit during dinner that night.
Some of the most embarrassing things is things kids say sometimes. I'm thinking of an episode of a show Art Linkletter had back in the '50s, that my mother told me about, his show titled "Kids say the Darndest Things." Now, back in the day, all television was live, so they were unable to edit this out. Linkletter was interviewing a boy whose father was away, serving in the Korean war. So Linkletter asked the boy if he slept with his mother while his father was away. And the boy answered, "No, but my uncle does."
I love everyone on here. God bless you all.
I go back and forth between Church militant and you guys pretty much daily. I love episodes like this because it gives me a bit of relief. Your show also gives me faith that there is much good left in the church with good people. Church militant shows us the ugly truth of the other side of the church that needs correcting.
Thanks be to God
Shetiel! I love Fr. John and his willingness for you to share that story, Fr. Rich! There’s no one on this planet who preaches a Homily better than Fr. John, so his struggles with those names in the genealogy give us all hope that we, too, have different charisms!
This episode was the best one yet!! I cracked up so much my jaw aches!
It's like some kind of guilty pleasure to listen to your opening music to your show.
How great! Nearly 30 years ago, I was altar serving a mass with the Bishop. We were using the single-chained thurible this mass, and after lighting the charcoal, I was told to go place it by the sachristy door before procession. Well, I thought it would be a wise idea, since we didn't have a thurible stand, I would feed the chain into the closed lid to prevent a trip hazard. When it was time for the gospel reading, I picked up the chain by the top ring and brought it to the bishop. I held the chain and he opened the thurible and placed the incense. Well I learned the law of thermodynamics that day, as when the bishop grabbed the chain to swing it, he let out a shriek, started shaking his hand, and his face was redder than his zucchetto! He looked at me like I was Satan's son, so never again was I allowed to serve with the bishop...
😂😂
Did the bishop even find out what happened? 😂
As a Lector and Choir member, sometimes my nerves get the best of me. That's when some of the most infamous mistakes happen. I think it's God's way of teaching me Joy.
Ryan D. goes and crazy over the Eucharist, everyone else sees ....wafer. You go RYAN D.!

Funny episode😂 loved it!!
This was great! We all need a good laugh.
Great episode! Brought back so many memories. One I have to share, my husband was receiving communion and he belched as he said amen (like he just had a beer). He couldn't just walk away he had to stand there and apologize. I was horrified, laughing & pushing him outta the way. It took all the strength I had to not laugh as I received the eucharistic. Thanks for the laughs.
I used to go to a church years ago when for some reason the church around the corner from us shared the same frequency in the microphones. During the Eucharist when everybody was quiet wed be treated to the homily from the neighboring church until the priests turned off the volume. Wed also get announcements from their church. Hope whatever they heard from our end was okay. Took a while to fix it. Sounds odd.
We got that once from the protestant church across town. Their pastor wss making an announcement that he was going to go serve another church. How it came over our speakers I’ll never know. Monsignor waited until silence fell, and then said, “well, now we know Pastor M--- got the call.”
Great stuff. 🙂
Just wanted to say that i was at fr tetlo’s brother funeral! I was in cenacolo then and there in st augustine and they selected four of us to go to that funeral! It sure is a small world after all! That was in 2011! Dont remember the month! Just thought id mention that👍
Momma said their was this Priest in NY whom nobody wanted to confess to... she says if he caught your eye he would do the “whole come here thang...then during the persons confession, he would practically scream “you did WHAT?! Everyone in the pews could hear him... lol that’s why nobody wanted to tell him their confession... 🤣
