[Salvation]

How many of you knew what this meant at first sight? (I didn't.)

[Dudoight]

I knew because I had a friend whose mother had one in her bedroom....however, I still don’t know how to pronounce it.

Just went on google and got an audio pronunciation:

Pree Deyoo

At least I think that is what it sounds like. LOL!

How many of you knew what this meant at first sight?

We just donated one to the Church Rummage Sale. It disappeared before the sale even began, so I think the priest has found a better use for it.

[Tax-chick]

I knew - historical novels! We have a couple in the Blessed Sacrament chapel at our parish.

[the invisib1e hand]

I’ll have the the Prie-dieu with a grande mal, please. It’s off the menu.

[Straight Vermonter]

Is it just the term that is peculiar or is the prie-Dieu itself not common all over? I live in a French-Canadian area and we always have these in the confessional, in front of the sacrament during adoration, and near the casket at a wake for example.
