1. “And also with you” – A surefire way of identifying those who haven’t been to Mass since last Christmas.

- Peace be with you
- "And also"....I mean "And with your spirit"

A sure way of exposing yourself as a Christmas blow-in.#MassTweets

2. Ah, Catholic guilt.

Whoops!

3. Ah, memories of trying to dislodge the communion from the roof of your mouth with your tongue.

Whoops!

4. Seriously, it would be on its knees.

Whoops!

5. THE SHAME.

Nothing more awkward when you're going in for a handshake at the sign of peace and get rejected

6. “Amen. Am I right, ladies?”

I once knew a guy so vain that he used to take "body of Christ" as a personal compliment during mass.

9. It’s a vicious circle, really.

My first confession I had nothing to confess so I made something up and then felt bad for lying to the priest. That's Catholicism for you.

10. Same, tbh.

Being a Catholic, whenever I hear "May the Force be with you" my instinctive response is "and also with you."

11. “Yes, Mam, Fr. Kelly gave a lovely Mass”

Who said Last Mass? In case my Ma asks me later.

13. Care to comment, Pope Francis?

Whoops!

14. Ash Wednesday: when you pray you end up with a cross on your forehead and not some half-arsed smudge

Ash Wednesday used to be my favorite day in Catholic school because the priest would mark your forehead and I felt like Simba
