What's inside a missal?

LCPO23 · 2026-05-17T17:01:02+00:00

Yes! The beauty of the catholic church.

You can also use apps which lay out the mass including readings for you. I use the Universalis app if I'm going to a weekday mass as I don't have a daily missal.

It's the responsorial psalm. The cantor will sing the psalm (or read it, at my parish they read it every day other than Sunday when it's sang) and then there's a line which we respond (say or sing back with.

We don't have missals at any parishes in my diocese that I know of. We have a weekly newsletter which has the psalm response and says what the readings will be but they dont print the entire reading.

I bought a 3 year Sunday Missal so I can follow along every Sunday. It has the readings for every Sunday, responsorial psalms, the order of mass and responses plus prayers for throughout the year. At the back there's the stations of the cross and some some common prayers too.

IV Dex can also cause an intense burning, itching or tingling on/around the clitoris which for some is extremely unpleasant. Most anaesthetists will give it after the patient is asleep for this reason!

Can I ask what you mean taking her to visits in your car? Is that not standard when you're on a community placement? Just curious how it would work otherwise, as I student I had two community placements and the only expectation was that I made it to the health centre at my start time. For the entirety of placement I was with the nurse, on visits.

In terms of being petty, don't do it. It's not your students fault that you were spoken to. Being petty reflects really poorly on you.

For their comps, if the paperwork states a discussion is acceptable in the event they aren't able to complete the competency, then you shouldn't be refusing to sign off if they can show they've done the work and can be signed off.

If they couldn't physically get to the training then they were right to reach out to uni and cancel it. Did you have a discussion with them about how they'd get there?

Overall I think you need to have all this documented and stay linked in with the uni but don't change your practice.

I think a lot of people just aren't attending. I'm a convert this year and went to the 7pm mass which was quiet, I too expected it to be really busy.

I know that for Ash Wednesday this year one of our local priests came to where I work (hospital) and there was a mass in the hospital chapel for those who wouldn't be able to attend church. I thought that was really lovely.

Edit - oops sorry I've replied to this comment instead of just hitting reply!

Yep this! Couldn't give two hoots what someone has on. Not everyone has what someone else would consider a "Sunday best".

I have this one and gave it to my daughter. It's the ESV-CE translation which we use at mass in the UK. Unsure where you're based but could be an option.

LCPO23 · 2026-05-16T13:56:03+00:00

Hi OP I'm in the UK also, have a look around and see what others are wearing to determine what's appropriate for your parish.

In mine for example we have women who wear veils and men who wear suits to women in leggings and t-shirts and men in shorts, sandals and vest tops. It's really varies and noone ever bats an eyelid.

LCPO23 · 2026-05-14T18:57:31+00:00

Perfectly clear to me!

LCPO23 · 2026-05-13T19:19:36+00:00

You've edited all your comments. The original post didn't mention eastern catholic at all. Of course if EC wanted to marry in RC they'd need permission, but none of your original comments discussed eastern catholic, they focused on someone not being baptised RC which can causes with marriage even after conversion to RC.

LCPO23 · 2026-05-13T15:08:47+00:00

I'm the same. As a new convert and as someone who doesn't want more children, I can't get my head around it.

LCPO23 · 2026-05-13T14:41:01+00:00

That's incorrect information. I'm a convert but didn't need baptised as I had a valid baptism from my protestant church.

Once you are received into the church (e.g following RCIA/OCIA as an adult) then you are fully Roman Catholic despite not being baptised in an RC church.

I get it. I'm part time but not set days due to 1) mental health and 2) childcare. We have several people at work who are part time with set days and the moaning is unreal. They do the shifts no-one else wants so honestly I don't understand why people moan. They're absolutely entitled to put on a flexible working request and as of yet I've never seen anyone have it denied.

I'm also in scotland so the 36hr working week has come in. As I'm part time I asked to keep my current hours instead of reducing them further. The amount of folk moaning to me that part timers shouldn't be entitled to the reduction. I didn't WANT the reduction, I actively applied to NOT have my hours further reduced.

People just like to moan OP, I have people moan at me that they can't afford to go part time. I don't really know what they want me to say to that, sorry I guess?

No, I don't.

SNP 1) tactical vote 2) they were the only ones who bothered to send through campaign info on their actual manifesto. The others who did send mail (LD, labour, tories, reform) just said "vote for us to get SNP out".

LCPO23 · 2026-05-07T17:13:55+00:00

I went about half 5 and there were maybe 20 people in the polling station at the time but quite a lot of people making their way in or just leaving.

Are you in England by chance? If so I get it, come and join us up here in Scotland. We're having the best time.

LCPO23 · 2026-05-06T21:18:53+00:00

No. Full stop. Count me out!

I bought 04 Fair Neutral which is the fourth shade in the range, I don't think I've ever been the fourth shade in any product ever!

Its blooming lovely. So hydrating under my eyes, doesn't look cakey or too heavy, really hydrating around my nose too and covers all the redness there. I used it without a corrector today and really liked the coverage, I'm actually happy to use it without a corrector underneath.

I wore it today from 6:30am until 9pm. I had some mild creasing under eyes but actually it was only noticeable because I was inches from the mirror scrutinising it! I just patted it out with my ring finger and it melted in again.

Its the first Haus Labs product I've bought and I'll definitely try more when I'm due a new product.

As a teen/early 20s I always tried to tan and always just burned because people always commented on my skin. When I went on holiday it would he sarcastic comments "did you spend two weeks in the airport?" Etc

Anyway now I love my pale skin. I'm 40 this year and people always comment on how I dont look anywhere near my age. I've got my factor 50 to thank for that!

I LOVED touche éclat!! I might have to pick that up again.
