Another great post

(Not mine.)

Sister Mary Martha usually has something good going on over at her blog, but I thought this was particularly good. Note to self: "Get holy. Shut up." ...and tell everybody else about it on your blog. This is going to be hard.

It reminds me of the little "Litany of Humility" fiasco we had in the Novitiate once upon a time: Sister Faustina Marie was in charge of cleaning the upstairs Novitiate bathroom and decided she'd do her part for the spread of piety by posting the litany on the inside of the door to each stall. This led to a long lecture by the Novice Mistress during our weekly meeting about forcing personal devotions upon the helpless and unsuspecting. Sister Faustina Marie was very humiliated indeed, and we were hugely entertained, so we figured the thing had been a success all-round.

[Preempting Fr. Barry's response: "Convent humor. Good times."]
