I think what I most often hear is "This is Jesus, the Lamb of God,... "

Or "This is Jesus, the Lamb of God, who took away the sins of the world, happy are those....."

And "my brothers and sisters" has been around so long, I can't remember when I last heard "My brethren."

Not all the abuses drive me crazy, but this one does.
I've heard some really weird things during this
special and sacred moment in the Mass.

I attended a Legion of Mary congress one time where the priest came up with this stunner, "This is Jesus, Son of Mary. Happy are we who walk in their shoes."

All during Communion the song "Walk a mile in my shoes" was going through my head!

And this same priest insisted that a layman give the homily. It was Father's Day, and this layman was the father of a large family. Father wanted him to tell us what "being a father is all about" (as if he himself didn't know he was a father, too!) The Legion officials refused to budge, and poor Father finally gave up, but invited the man up after Communion to give a "reflection".
The whole Mass was sprinkled with irregularities.

Disobedience is a sin, period.
And it's especially ugly coming from a priest.
