Hi everyone, I'm back from my break, although I may not be hanging around on here too often. I am pretty confident I've attained the cardinal virtue of prudence to correct my intellect, I'm now reading the Catechism of the Council of Trent, as well as Jason Evert's The Dating Blueprint, and Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted's Manual for Men, to maintain it. (More on dating and masculinity in a bit) I'm now working on the cardinal virtue of justice to rightly-order my will. Speaking of dating and masculinity, I'm now beginning to pursue my vocation to married life, I wanted to wait until I had a job and was on verge of getting one, but then this lockdown happened, so I figured I'd instead use this time to just sign-up for Catholic dating site and get to know someone while I wait for this lockdown to end; I do intend to get right to looking for a job the moment this lockdown is over though. (Which, up here in British Columbia, may happen on May 17th, my Birthday.) So, regardless of what one thinks of dating sites, right now that's my only option of going forward. (right now, I'm working on setting up an account, it's asking for photos of myself, and right now I don't have too many.) I would like prayers that I can find my future spouse, immediately start searching for and finding a job once this lockdown ends, and attain the cardinal virtue of justice. I have a better idea of things now since attaining the virtue of prudence, I believe in this spiritual and cultural war we're engaged in, I'm called more to the artillery division than the frontlines. Although I do still have to be prepared for frontline combat in case the fighting reaches us, which it often does.
Best of luck and God's blessings, RW. Don't be too hard on yourself as far as rushing stuff. Be willing to do the stuff you always do and be yourself, and let God time things, even as you move forward. It's good to take the first step. But be patient, too.
