“See with what large letters I have written to you with my own hand!”
– Gal. 6:11
Commentary: Apparently the Galatians as a people suffered from poor vision (or used it as an excuse to ignore him), forcing St. Paul to write in such big letters and to state that they are such large letters that can not be ignored. In essence St. Paul can be credited from creating the first easy reader text for the vision impaired.

(Though you’d think with the number of liturgies priests pray they wouldn’t be so stressed.)

Traditionally during the Fast of St. Mary’s many churches hold revival services. During which many spiritual songs regarding St. Mary are. During the singing of one, whose refrain translates roughly as “Hurry up and appear, hurry with all your light shining forth.”, Ms. Nahed Yousri, 16, had a panic attack screaming out “Shut up all of you, what if she does appear. Shut up”. She began running up and down the church trying to convince people to stop singing. Even to the point of running up and yanking the microphone from the deacon leading the song. Only when she continued the the tantrum, was she restrained and her nerves calmed with a shot of sacramental wine.
One witness, a Tant Um Mahrous, through an interpreter, stated, “I did not know why the girl was screaming. When I saw her rip away the microphone from the deacon I thought I understood, because God forgive me but he has a voice that would cause St.Mary to blaspheme. But she kept screaming afterwards so I did not understand why, maybe it is drugs. You know all those kids take the drugs they get it from all those foreign kids in school.” After Ms. Yousri had calmed down and sobered up she explained her actions. “We keep singing asking her to appear but noone thinks of what we would do if she did show up. I would pee myself, personally. For some reason I thought she might actually appear this time so I had to keep it from happening. I didn’t want to pee myself.”
