Gloria in excelsis Deo. Et in terra pax hominibus bonae voluntatis.
Laudamus te. Benedicimus te. Adoramus te. Glorificamus te. Gratiam
agimus tibi propter magnam gloriam tuam. Domine Deus, Rex coelestis,
Deus Pater omnipotens. Domine Fili unigenite, Jesu Christe. Domine
Deus, Agnus Dei, Filius Patris. Qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere
nobis. Qui tollis peccata mundi, suscipe deprecationem nostram. Qui
sedes ad dexteram Patris, miserere nobis. Quoniam tu solus Sanctus. Tu
solus Dominus. To solus Altissimus, Jesu Christe. Cum Sancto Spiritu
in gloria Dei Patris. Amen.
Altar Boy huh?
Heh...
No, neither, Choir nor Alter boy.
I like Latin, and enjoy the Latin mass. Even though I'm very
Protestant.
Why I posted such, is because of the most unusual posts that "Dan" is
providing, and the follow up by "Duke Nukem".
At least Latin can be deciphered....

This information is for Roman Catholics only. It must not be divulged
to
non-Catholics. The less they know about our rituals and code words, the
better off they are - in alpha order:
AMEN: The only part of a prayer that everyone knows.
BULLETIN: Your receipt for attending Mass.
CHOIR: A group of people whose singing allows the rest of theParish
to lip-sync.
HOLY WATER: A liquid whose chemical formula is H2OLY.
HYMN: A song of praise usually sung in a key a fifth higher than
that of the congregation's range.
INCENSE: Holy Smoke!
JESUITS: An order of priests known for their ability to find colleges
with
good basketball teams.
JONAH: The original "Jaws" story.
JUSTICE: When your kids have kids of their own.
KYRIE ELEISON: The only Greek words that most Catholics can
recognize besides gyros and baklava.
MAGI: The most famous trio to attend a baby shower.
MANGER: Where Mary gave birth to Jesus because Joseph wasn't
covered by an HMO. (The Bible's way of showing us that holiday travel
has
always been rough.)
PEW: A medieval torture device still found in Catholic churches.
PROCESSION: The ceremonial formation at the beginning of Mass
consisting of altar servers, the celebrant, and late parishioners
looking for seats.
RECESSIONAL: The ceremonial procession at the conclusion of Mass
led by parishioners trying to beat the crowd to the parking lot.
RECESSIONAL HYMN: The last song at Mass often sung a little more
quietly, since most of the people have already left.
RELICS: People who have been going to Mass for so long, they
actually know when to sit, kneel, and stand.
TEN COMMANDMENTS: The most important Top Ten list not given by David
Letterman.
USHERS: The only people in the parish who don't know the seating
capacity of a pew.
