Happy Advent!!!
This past Sunday, November 27, 2011 was the beginning of Advent, which means: HAPPY NEW LITURGICAL YEAR CATHOLICS!!!
This Sunday was the first time the New Roman Missal was used throughout all the English Speaking Nations across the Globe. I must say, it was so beautiful, I almost began to weep with tears of joy. Literally, at first I was just enthralled, & once it reached the Liturgy of the...
Catholic pick up lines:
Did you feel what I felt when we reached into the holy water font at the same time?
You've got stunning scapular-brown eyes.
My Guardian Angel thinks you're cute.
The Bible says "Give drink to those who are thirsty, and feed the hungry"; how about dinner?
Want to go to Adoration with me?
Man does not live by bread alone. So how about dinner and a movie?
Hi, this pew taken?
I bet I can guess your Confirmation name.
A little bird... the Holy Spirit actually... tells me we should get to know each other a little better.
What do you think Paul meant when he said, "Greet everyone with a holy kiss" (1Pet 5;24)?
You're the answer to my Novena!
Don't worry, I'm attracted to you purely in a spiritual way.
Has anyone ever told you, your eyes are like doves and your neck like the tower of David.
What's your name and number so I can add you to my "prayer" list?
Read any good Bible passages lately?
Wow! that grey/black ash smudge on your forehead, vaguely resembling a cross, really brings out the tones in your skin.
My friend told me to come and meet you. I think you know Him, His name is Jesus.
How long have you been wearing a Scapular? We should discuss the Sabatine promises over a 40 hours devotion sometime.
It’s Palm Sunday, may I hold your palm?
Me, I prefer a more traditional Mass. I’m a regular Latin lover.
You’re a saint! Kiss me, and make me a second-class relic.
Let me get your number; I know this great place to go to on Sunday mornings. They have the best wine!
In the dark void of this world, could you be my luminous mystery?
Confess here often?
Your Pilgrimage or mine?
Ah, so you're what happened to my missing rib!
Hey, wanna study Theology of the Body?
You don’t have an accountability partner? Me neither.
If you were made in the image and likeness of God, then God must have really beautiful eyes.
Will you be the beautiful light in the dark night of my soul?
I need a partner for my marriage prep class.
Was I knocked out by your beauty or slain in the spirit?
What are your plans for tonight? Feel like a bible study?
Is it a sin that you stole my heart?
WOW! You remind me of the girl from Proverbs 31.
Hey baby, I just figured out that I'm not called to be a priest (nun).
I have a vocation to the married life. Will you help me out?
Your parish or mine?
I lost my rosary. Can I use your fingers?
You aren't married are you, because I'd hate to break the 10th Commandment

Jesus, I beg you, kindle my lamp at your own light
so that I may see by its light the Holy of Holies;
that in your light I may never fail to see you
and may gaze and desire always aim at you alone.
In your presence my lamp shall remain ever-burning.
In my heart I shall behold you…

Ok… slight delay of life plans. I need dental clearance paperwork to turn into the USMC Medical. However, I have a wisdom tooth that might cause me trouble physically & document wise, because it could disqualify me from Officer Candidate School. Therefore I need to have it removed. Earliest might be December, which could push my enrollment to OCS to 2012. I’d rather be months...
