The Popcorn Prayer - February 5th 2012, 04:59 AM

At a funeral I went to not too long ago, my priest took time before Eucharist to do what's called a "popcorn prayer" in honor of the deceased person.
During this prayer, you say a word that comes to mind in regard to that person - if everyone says something at relatively the same time, the popcorn effect occurs.

With the recent loss of two of our beloved THers, I thought it might be nice to begin a popcorn prayer for them... Write a word for one or the other or both of them - Feel free to post as many times as you want if you come up with more. Elle and Peter, we love you guys SO much. <3

I'll start.

Elle: Kind-hearted

Peter: Compassionate
