Happy Birthday, Moma

I would spell it momma.

Or at least mama.

But she spelled it moma. And so that's what I'll call her.

It all sounds the same anyway.

I googled her just for the heck of it.

I found this.It doesn't look like this file will be around for long, looks like it'll be overwritten. And I'm not sure what "mass intentions" are, but at the family's ( Read more... )

Happy Birthday, indeed.

I googled "mass intentions" because I was curious myself, and I found this:

"...masses can be offered for specific purposes--for example, a good harvest or protection from a storm or for peace in the world--or individuals, either living or dead--someone's deceased parent or child or spouse, for example. Most masses, in fact, fit in this category. People can ask that a mass be said for any of these purposes. Usually this involves a stipend (a small payment) for the remembrance.

This is what the "mass intention" is; it's who or what is being especially remembered in that particular mass."
