You feel like a rebel when you wear colored socks.Oh yeah, now that you are out, no regulation white ankle or crew socks for you! Blue! Pink! Black! The world is your stage when it comes to sock color because you know how to party.
3. When someone says peace be with you you say also with you without thinking.Its true. The years of training sunk in, and there is no letting go.
5. You secretly miss having your clothes picked out for you 5 out of 7 days in the week.Life was easier when you were forced to wear a uniformunless you wear a uniform for your jobthen you are probably thinking when is my free dress day???
7.You still feel like you need say your prayer before a meal really, really fast, so you can get to recess faster.Because saying the words like you had a espresso, redbull and some crack all at the same time counts as a real prayer when you are starving and need that pudding cupright?
8.You were shocked after you graduated to find out there were other translations of the Bible than the New American Version.NIV! ESV! IHSYESYGGLSO! Okay, that last one isnt a translation that I know of but there are so many options out there! If you decided to stay or go back to the Christian life after graduation you were probably met with some confusion when you went to the Christian book store and was met with the aisles of different translations.
Authors note: Thisoriginally cited (wrongly) the King Jamestranslation, which isnt approved by the Catholic church. I have since had some coffee, woke up a bit, and changed it.

9. Youve been dressed up like an angel, a sheep, and a shepherd at least once (but probably three) times as a child.Dont lie. Your mother has photos.
10.and you had to sing. A LOT.On top of the school pageants and usual fair, you had the special church events that they used your class singing off key like some secret choir reserve force when the old ladies got sick. It was probably just a plot to actually get your parents to mass every once and a while.
11. When at any non-catholic church or the train station, your right knee automatically buckles anytime you enter a pew, and you have to stop yourself from kneeling.Again, its true.
12. You know how tofundraiseand sell stuff like a boss.Whether you went to one of the rich kids Catholic schools or the very much not rich kids schools, either way they had you out pimping cookie dough, magazine subscriptions, wrapping paper, and coupon books every year. That pizza party just became less worth the trouble as time went on.
13. Your non-Catholic friends think doing the sign of the cross is some complicated secret handshake and keep asking you to show them how to do it over and over.It really is a secret sign that makes you get the good wafers at communion. Ya know, the ones that dont taste like cardboard.
15.You know what leave room for the Holy Spirit means.One foot apart with only arms touching is the only way to slow dance and keep Jesus happy.
16. You totally made up a sin during your first confession with a priest because you were in the first grade and didnt understand what the heck was going on.Your friend even said adultery, because it sounded cooler than cheating or thinking bad thoughts against your parents, and no one was smart-assy enough yet to just say murder.
17. You dreadedstations of the crossday.It was long, you had to sit in a hard pew, and most of the time you couldnt see action or hear the person speaking. So you just sat there. For all eternity.
18. You have strong feelings about nuns.Nuff said.
19. You are still bitter that you were not picked to play Mary during May Crowning or Jesus in the Last Supper.Only the coolest kids, and teachers favorites got those roles. Not little old you. Its still hurtful to talk about.

I confess to almighty God
and to you, my brothers and sisters,
that I have greatly sinned
in my thoughts and in my words,
in what I have done,
and in what I have failed to do;
through my fault, through my fault,
through my most grievous fault;
therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin,
all the Angels and Saints,
and you, my brothers and sisters,
to pray for me to the Lord our God.
I confess to Almighty God,
to blessed Mary ever Virgin,
to blessed Michael the Archangel,
to blessed John the Baptist,
to the holy apostles Peter and Paul,
and to all the saints
that I have sinned exceedingly
in thought, word, and deed,
through my fault,
through my fault,
through my most grievous fault.
Therefore, I beseech blessed Mary ever Virgin,
blessed Michael the Archangel,
blessed John the Baptist,
the holy Apostles Peter and Paul,
and all the saints,
to pray for me to the Lord our God.

On the Crucifix say the Apostle\'s Creed:
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth;
and in Jesus Christ, His only Son Our Lord,
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into Hell; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into Heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God, the Father almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and life everlasting. Amen.
On each of the following six beads say an Act of Contrition:
O my God, my Redeemer, behold me here at Thy feet. From the bottom of my heart I am sorry for all my sins, because by them I have offended Thee, Who art infinitely good. I will die rather than offend thee again. Amen.
The following is said before each station for the intentions of the Holy Father:
We adore You, O Christ, and we bless You, because by Your holy cross You have redeemed the world.
After announcing and meditating on each Station, pray one Our Father, one Hail Mary and one Glory Be.
Our Father:
Our Father, Who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
Hail Mary:
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee, blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Glory Be:
Glory be to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Closing Prayer:
Lord Jesus Christ, your passion and death is the sacrifice that unites earth and heaven and reconciles all people to you. May we who have faithfully reflected on these mysteries follow in your steps and so come to share your glory in heaven where you live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
