I hope people read the notes. I found the part about "praying as long as you are able" entertaining. Actually, it was my imagination that provided the entertainment - mental pictures of congregations squirming while the presider prayed as long as he was able.Excellent work!!!!
Interesting, too.

That part has always entertained me a bit as well - and it explains a lot about the episode in Acts where the boy falls asleep (and out the window) while Paul is preaching (probably as part of an early Eucharistic Liturgy, which would have been held on the evening of Sabbath as sundown officially designiated the beginning of a new day in the Jewish calendar).Raymond St. George

Never mind boys falling out of windows. I am currently in a seminary and the priest who was my pre-novice master oftens tells the hilarious story of the time he fell asleep during his own homily! He had paused to reflect and things happened from there! This seems to be praying for as long as you are able to its extreme! I am yet to fall asleep in front of a congregation though I have had the somewhat disturbing experience of members of the congregation falling alseep in front of me!Matthew Vallis
