Question:
Silly question...is it ok to use Lordy, Lordy, Look Who’s 40 on an invitation? Thanks!
Answer:
While this rhyming statement has become a common one in modern times for those celebrating the 40th birthday of a family member or friend, we would counsel against it, because it’s a less-than-reverent use of a divine title (see CCC 2142ff.). That God is being referenced is affirmed by the capitalization of a variation of the name “Lord.”
