You know that you're a Catholic when you.....

Only have plainchant CDs in your car
Genuflect absent mindedly when taking your seat at the cinema
Bless yourself when the waiter places the finger bowl on your table
Have 'Faith of Our Fathers' as your ring tone
Crave to eat meat on Fridays
Plan your summer holiday around Latin Mass centres
Ask for a tomato juice with worcester sauce - never a 'Virgin Mary'
Are pleased at receiving a crucifix as a birthday present
Believe that the best use for 'The Tablet' is as shredded bedding for the pet rabbit

A Mother's prayer for her soldier son

As Thou didst walk in Galilee, so loving Saviour, walk with him for me: For since the years have passed and he has grown, I cannot follow, he must walk alone. Be Thou my feet that I have had to stay, for Thou canst comrade him on every way. Be Thou my voice, when sinful things allure, pleading with him to choose those that endure. Be Thou my hand that would keep his in mine, all, all things that a mother must resign. When he was little I could walk with him and guide but now, I pray Thee, Thou be at his side. And as Thy Blessed Mother folded Thee, so kind and loving Saviour, guard my son for me.
