The Full Episcopal Liturgy For Dr Seuss Eucharist - NOT THE ONION


Oh Goodness. This is horrid!! I bet you dollars to donuts that a former Catholic now Episcoplian with some Catholic Liturgical degree dreamed this up. See the full Liturgy here.



First Thoughts has some thoughts and comments at Of You and Your Works Are We Always Awed



Here are some other reactions:

Free Range Anglican says she is "going to vomit in my striped hat".








Here are parts:



Celebrant: Father, Son, and Spirit Holy. Blessed be God:

People :Of you and your works are we always awed. Amen.

All Almighty God
to you all hearts are open wide,
All of our want-wanting in you we confide
and from you our secrets we just can not hide:
Clean the thinks of our thumpers
And we shall be happy jump-jumpers.
So, by the help of your Holy Ghost,
Your Name we may deservingly boast;
through Christ our Lord. Amen.

............

Confession of Sin

God, we have wronged you
And we need to say boo-hoo
For the things we did and didn’t do
We are not content
we want to repent
One hundred percent
Oh so sorry we say
Won’t you forgive us this day;
So we can walk in your way


Absolution
All Powerful God have mercy on yous
And forget the sins of we Whos
Keep you from all strife
And lead you into new life
Celebrant The Peace of God be always with you.
People And with you too.

......

Father, merciful and divine,
You have made our world
And made it quite fine.
But we have been oh so bad
And made a mess of it all
You had every reason to be quite mad.
Instead of making a fuss
You sent your only Son
To live and die as one of us.
On the night before he died
Our Lord lifted some bread
And said with loving pride
“Dear friends, my body to you I give
Take it; share it
In you I will live.
From now on, whenever you meet
I want you to remember our time
And let this be the thing that you eat”
When they were done with their sup
Jesus again spoke with his friends
While high He lifted the holy cup
“For the New Covenant, this is my blood
A sign of the Lord’s continuing love
Let it replace the one from the flood
Whenever you drink this, think of me,
Keeping me close at heart
So that our friendship may go on endlessly
And so we now say
His death we recall
His resurrection we shout
When He comes again, it will be for all
These gifts are for you and not just a few
Fill this bread and wine truly with you
Your Spirit come down
And send it around
Make holy this food
To put us in the mood
To bring your grace
To the whole human race
