the worst f**king feeling is forgetting to ring the bells when father does the ‘this is my body which will be given up for you’ because you spaced out and there’s this long, deafening silence before you finally realize something’s wrong and by then the whole church is lookin at you all “😐”
BRO, SAME!! It happened to me just once, but it's something that I constantly keep on my guard about. Heck, there are times where I think, "Holy carp, I rang the bells too long, didn't I?", or, "Bro, WHY'D I CUT IT SHORT??"
Bro, one time, we were celebrating the 75th anniversary of my parish, Christ the Good Shepherd, and I was trying to take the bishop's meiter off. It was tucked on tight, it slipped out of my hands, and it fell behind his chair. He was cool, though, but it was most-definitely a humbling experience!
POV: You were supposed to light the incense during the Our Father, the priest asks you if you lit the thurible as he's putting the ciborium back into the tabernacle.
