The Catholic Church has once again shown how in touch they are with real people. This time, they are urging married couples to pray together before having sex.
And yelling "Oh God" apparently doesn't count. So when your partner starts to kneel down... it may very well be in prayer. Oh yeah, there's nothing hotter when you're really turned on than reciting a good prayer! Actually, maybe they're on to something here... Since the church doesn't allow birth control, killing the mood like this is probably a pretty good way to avoid having kids alltogether.
For those of you who are interested, here is what you're supposed to say:
"Father, send your Holy Spirit into our hearts. Place within us love that truly gives, tenderness that truly unites, self-offering that tells the truth and does not deceive, forgiveness that truly receives, loving physical union that welcomes. Open our hearts to you, to each other and to the goodness of your will. Cover our poverty in the richness of your mercy and forgiveness. Clothe us in our true dignity and take to yourself our shared aspirations, for your glory, for ever and ever. Mary, our Mother, intercede for us. Amen." Now let's do it! (I added the end part)
