Good article on the problems introduced by the many options given to priests in celebrating the Novus Ordo Mass. It’s ironic that the TLM is, in some ways, *easier* to follow than the NO.

Maybe I should try this strategy.

watermelon is refreshing like a cool drink, not satisfying like a savoury meal, and is really good when you think of it that way. Also, you can solve the stickiness problem with a damp cloth or paper towel.

my previous parish had a lot of young families, and the pastor addressed this a few times in his homilies. Children need to be at Mass, and other parishioners should be charitable and tolerate some fidgeting and chattering. However, parents also need to be charitable — if a child is crying or making so much noise it’s disruptive, they need to take the child outside until he calms down. Obviously, they shouldn’t have noisy toys.
I don’t know how common this is in other parts of the world, but around here a lot of churches have cry rooms where you can still see the Mass (through glass) but since it’s a separate room, kids can be noisy without disrupting other people.

At least they had their priorities right.

New post: You can all have a video game review (on Undertale), as a treat, as long as you've read all the literature posts first.

tough to give good, actionable advice to someone I don’t know very well. My approach was online dating and prayers for St. Raphael’s intercession. People like to criticise it (and some of those criticisms are valid), but using CatholicMatch helped because it made it easy to filter for people who were already on the same page as me as far as religious views and relationship goals (marriage, not just casual dates).
Beyond that, I only have generic advice. Cafés made for good first date spots, then places where there was something to do (so less chance of awkward silences) while still allowing for conversation. I took dates to local festivals or museums, or walks around local parks, for instance.
