Oh that link is great, thanks.

Well, a least some people will have to pay a little closer attention now, lol.

I only mean that some things in the Mass can be very automatic if one is inclined to wander in the mind while there.

I pay very close attention to everything the priest says and that I say, so that it isn’t just going through the motions.

This is going to be interesting.

Oh, yeah, I get on autopilot sometimes and then have to hit the confessional for being inattentive during Mass . . . . my excuse is that singing in the choir is very labor intensive and uses all the brain cells I have to spare.

If I get on serious autopilot I find myself saying Cranmer's Creed, since I didn't convert until I was 47 and that's a LOT of Nicene Creeds since I started singing in the choir at age six.

I'm going to make a real effort to learn the new Creed correctly and get it into the hard drive. (I'm still saying Cranmer's translation of the Apostle's Creed while praying the Rosary though).
