Screamin' toward Sister Death
A few weeks ago, I posted the following on Google Plus:During my Secular Franciscan fraternity gathering [the other] night, our spiritual assistant was discussing Article 19 of our Holy Rule, which ends: "Since they are immersed in the resurrection of Christ, which gives true meaning to Sister Death, let them serenely tend toward the ultimate encounter with the Father." However, I misheard him and did a double-take when I thought he said, "... let them screamingly tend ..." :-PThat mishearing has, of course, permanently lodged itself in my noggin', and now whenever I think of Article 19, I'm unable to shake this image (click for larger):
For any Secular Franciscans who may've stumbled across this: You're welcome. :-P

Lisa, at AA meetings, we often open with someone reading aloud a passage that introduces and lists the 12 steps. The passage begins, "Rarely have we seen a person fail who has thoroughly followed our path."
One night, the man reading (pretty newly sober) read, "Rarely have we seen a person who has thoroughly followed our path." He heard snickering, stopped, looked up, and said, "Did I say something wrong?"
"No," said the man in the room with the most time sober. "Sounds exactly right to me!"
Hilarious!! Thanks for sharin'! :-D
Wonderful !! I only found it a year later but this one is timeless.
Blessings
