When my family switched parishes in 1988, at my new parish, we went to Mass twice a week (7th and 8th grade went on Thurs., the whole school went on Friday). Well, it was our turn to prepare the Thurs. Mass, but my teacher forgot to have someone prepare the petitions, so I went up there and made them up off the top of my head. I mean, it's not that hard.
"For our Pope, John Paul, our Archbishop Justin (Rigali), and all other church leaders, let us pray to our Lord..."
...and then I just drew them out to 4 or 5 from there.
Corpus Christi though...ugh. We used to participate as part of our Scout troop. Three people in the neighborhood built altars/homages. And it was incredibly hot. And here we are, standing, kneeling, marching. One of the Knights of Columbus members passed out. And then I had to carry this heavy ass flag through the streets. I don't miss that.
