It is ALWAYS right to give Him thanks and praise

Part of the Catholic Mass (and in some other Christian services) there is a two way exchange between the Priest and the congregation, called the Preface to the Eucharistic Prayer (Sursum corda in Latin). A few years ago I felt the need to add a word in the congregation's response because it makes the most sense...

Priest: The Lord be with you

Congregation: And also with you.

Priest: Lift up your hearts

Congregation: We lift them up to the Lord

Priest: Let us give thanks to the Lord our God

Congregation: It is always right to give Him thanks and praise.

That last line. I add the word "always" in there, even though it is not part of official Mass... But it really balances things out correctly, because of what the priest says next...

Priest: Father, it is our duty and our salvation, always and everywhere, to give You thanks through Your beloved Son, Jesus Christ.

So next time you're in a Christian church and they have this ping-pong style prayer, add the word "always" in your last response. It agrees with and helps the Priest or minister with his next part — the second part of the Preface to the Eucharistic Prayer.
