Re-reading Biblical texts

After supper almost every evening, Br Mateusz practices the following day's Mass readings with me.  Listening to him, who is a first time learner of English coming from Poland, I sometimes am amused by what he reads.  Of course, he is making his best efforts, but what he utters sometimes changes the meaning drastically!  Am reminded of the same struggle of some of the Brothers back in Kondadaba and Karunapuram. Here are some things which I found very amusing, though not all are from Mateusz's mouth...

  • The Lord has filed my lips ... (filled)
  • His joke is not heavy and his burden lit ... (yoke) (light)
  • The childless wifi has children and the fruitful wifi bears no more... (wife)
