I found that in a daily devotional that I use, it is all excerpts from Lewis's writings. I'd have to find it again and see what original writing it was from. He had a way with words and ideas. Very unique man.

We don't have school on Sunday. On the 7th day He rested and we worship.

Jeanette please PM me of the name of the book. I am a great fan of CS Lewis. He is in my view, the greatest non-apostle apologetic for Christ of all time. I stand in absolute awe at his talents.

In particular his expression of himself [having formerly before his conversion made a good living out of being an athiest] described himself as 'the most reluctant convert to Christendom, meaning 'conversion may cost him his livelihood but convert he must as he has discovered the truth'.

I believe he is up there alongside the great apostle Paul

I look for the day when the CC canonises him.

This is like one of the first posts, but I am surprised it hasn't been mentioned. Church service is said instead of mass.

How to make God laugh? Tell Him your plans!

'Churching' or 'Christening' instead of Baptism

Along that same line: dedicating, naming ceremony.

'Laying on of hands' rather than Confirmation.

Sinner's prayer - don't think I've heard that one in the Catholic Church (because all prayers by us are sinner's prayers.

)

... as in "Preacher's Kid." Not used by most Catholics for obvious reasons (except for, of course, Anglican (and other) converts who are re-ordained).

In a similar veign: 'Preacher' instead of Homiliest

Preacher instead of Priest.

By the way, I struggle when Anglicans refer to their clergy as 'Priests' as a priest is the officiate at a sacrifice. Our Priests officiate at the Sacrifice of the Mass. What do their priests officiate at?

That is not a criticism of Anglicanism. I have a lot of respect for and friends who are Anglican.

I think the CC teaches us to reflect on the seriousness of our sins and to confess them but not to beat ourselves up over them.
which that expression seems to do.

'God spake unto [whoever]'

'God spake unto [whoever]'

Until recently; 'Our Father which art in Heaven'

which by the way according to the rules of English, is grammatically incorrect since we always address a person [God the Father being the first Person of the Trinity] as 'Who' or 'Whom', hence the Catholic way of 'Our Father WHO art in Heaven!'

Sinner's Prayer is the term they use when they are leading someone to their initial prayer of repentance to accept Christ as Lord and Savior. In most camps it's used only at the time of initial conversion. They don't consider themselves "sinners" after that, but "saints", although they do believe that we all do still sin, we're just not seen as sinners in the eyes of God anymore.

We as Catholics consider ourselves sinners and saints (not Saints

) until heaven, but correct me if I'm wrong on that.
