- In your charity could you please pray for my Uncle Jr? He's afraid of gaining weight so he only eats one meal a day with a mineral oil chaser. Snacks are anathema. He's been like this for years. On Mother's Day he was invited to a family dinner and did a little extra fasting in order to prepare for the big meal. Well, not surprisingly, he fainted in his home, knocked himself out and lay helpless on the floor for hours. He'll be the hospital for 48 hours of tests and observation. Eating disorders are not exclusive to young women. He's got to change his diet ASAP.
- I've noticed some young Catholic men are asking on social media why they can't find a good wife. Well, I can offer three suggestions.
- First, check your hygiene. I can't even tell you how many times I've sat in a pew and wondered where that hot blast of pure funk was coming from. In the suburbs, it's usually wafting off the young guy sitting in front of me. Guys, it may be honest sweat and you may have the body of an Adonis but if you stink, the young ladies will not smile upon you.
- Second, have a job, a real one. Your part time social media manager job for a small Catholic podcast will not support a family and neither will your Mechanical Turk or Door Dash delivery gigs.
- Thirdly, mind your manners. If you can't speak and conduct yourself in a genteel manner around a girl, how do you expect to get a date, much less married?
