Featured Term (selected at random):
A short, oblong vestment of white linen worn beneath the alb to cover the shoulders of the priest while celebrating Mass. Now optional in the Latin Rite. When putting on the amice, the priest says, "Put on my head, O Lord, the helmet of salvation in order to repel the assaults of the devil." (Etym. Latin amictus, garment, mantle, cloak; from amicire, to throw around.)

Catholic Word of the Day Ping!
Please send me a FReepmail if you would like to be on the Catholic Word of the Day Ping List.
Not me ... I was figuring it had something to do with “friend.”
Great scrabble word, though, huh?
Someone puts out ‘mice’ — you add an ‘a’!
And an “s” on the end to make it plural!
