Yesterday I was privy to a mispronunciation that had me giggling at a funeral. The lector recited, “A reading from the letter of St. Paul to the Philippines.”
I know St. Paul made the rounds but I was surprised to learn he had visited that archipelago! Oh, I suppressed my amusement appropriately, and it was an error which I’m sure has been made before. The problem is I can’t remember the reading now because I was too entertained by the goof. It did remind me that someday I want to go to the Philippines.
There’s always something to be gleaned from the Word of God.
