Feast of the Annunciation

I just got back from Mass at my Plan B church. Plan B for when
I am unable to attend Mass in the morning. The priest there has been a priest
now for fifty
years and has a tendency to rush the Mass and to border on irreverence. His
homilies even though very colloquial in delivery sometimes have some very good
meat for further thought. Today he was rushing so fast that he almost verged
from being In Persona Christi to In Personal Alvin or maybe one of the other
chipmunks. He also leaves the sanctuary and walks out into the pews during
his homily. I have been tempted in the past to donate to this parish one of
those
Electric Dog Fences and to wire it to his collar, a few mild shocks when
he strays might keep him within the sanctuary. He segued from the homily to
the the Creed by saying "Now we have to do the Creed." When he said the Nicene
Creed it morphed into the Agnus Dei. Luckily
he noticed his mistake halfway through and started over. Usually you hear the
Nicene Creed morph into the Apostles Creed or you get strains of both. I might be a little nit-picky about this, but I am easily distracted and need all the help I can get to stay focused during Mass.
