I owe this woman, Auntie Seraphic (Dorothy Cummings) a book review. She will get it, and it’s gonna be very good.
In the interim, this blog post is gold. Enjoy. Enjoy it if you are single, and enjoy it if you aren’t, because you also can speak into the lives of young (or not so young) men and women. My favourite line lies in the advice section for the men:
How old are you anyway? Twenty-five? Twenty-six? Do you know what you are going to be when you grow up? Newsflash–you are grown up. It is time, young men, to go out into the world, to seek your fortune, to win the hand of a beautiful princess, to sire beautiful children who will gladden your old age.
There’s good advice for the ladies in there too. Fortunately, it has been many years since I broke her rule for women, so I just get to laugh. If it hadn’t been many years I might still be crying but fortunately for everyone I was able to regroup, somewhere around 2004…

funy to see the advice in the blog…I met the girl of my dreams (i.e.: my wife) at a Newman Centre at the priest’s birthday party. It works
Brilliant!
I happen to be married… and met my husband through the chaplaincy group 🙂 I caught his attention when I offered an intention for women facing an unplanned pregnancy and those suffering from abortion. The rest is history 🙂
Aah, I love it! I think my favourite line: “Have you gone to your favourite priest and said ‘I think I have a vocation to the married life. Do you know any nice Catholic girls?'”
Thanks for the shout-out! And I look forward to the book review!
