Remember to keep Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI in your prayers. As he might be within his final days.

I need advice - there's a pretty young lady at church who I always see... how do I talk to her? She sings in the Latin Mass choir. There's nothing lusty going on - I just want some advice for how to talk to her... any suggestions?

Most importantly DO NOT approach her like you want to be her husband or anything like that, you don't know this girl yet so just take it slow and steady.

Just be casual and say "Hi I'm [Your name], what's your name?" "How are you [Insert name]?" "I just wanted to say that I think you are great at singing", "Maybe we should hang out sometime?" "Can I get your number?".

Remember to listen to what she says and be attentive to her reaction to you. It's possible she might not be interested in talking to you or she might be shy around strangers. Be ready to abort the entire conversation if you feel she doesn't want to talk to you at that time, don't be a creep. Adapt to the situation, be yourself and you will do just fine!

Whether or not you succeed is not up to you but rather up to her and whether you fail or not you can take pride in the fact that you mustered up the courage and did it! The only failure would be not to try.

God bless you brother, Jesus is with you.

Noted. Thank you. I am into sacred music also - I play the pipe organ. That might help my cause too maybe?

Thanks much. Might try it out next time I see her. I notice her looking at me quite a bit both when I visit the choir loft after Mass to check out the organ and at First Saturday Mass when she doesn't sing. Could this be a sign of something?

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let the perpetual light shine upon him.
May his soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the Mercy of God, rest in peace.

God, Who, in Thine ineffable providence,
didst will that Thy servant Benedict
should be numbered among the high priests,
grant, we beseech Thee, that he,
who on earth held the place of Thine only-begotten Son,
may be joined forevermore to the fellowship of Thy holy
pontiffs.
Through the same Jesus Christ, Thy Son,
Who liveth and reigneth with Thee
in the unity of the Holy Ghost,
God, world without end.
Amen.

Probably. Not necessarily that she likes you romantically already, but that she's curious and interested in getting to know you -- and that might a great conversation starter. Good luck.

Thank you! Unfortunately won't see her on Sunday (going to different Mass) but I will remember for the future.

It's Epiphany. It's still ok.

Glória in excélsis Deo
et in terra pax homínibus bonae voluntátis.
Laudámus te,
benedícimus te,
adorámus te,
glorificámus te,
grátias ágimus tibi propter magnam glóriam tuam,
Dómine Deus, Rex caeléstis,
Deus Pater omnípotens.

Dómine Fili unigénite, Jesu Christe,
Dómine Deus, Agnus Dei, Fílius Patris,
qui tollis peccáta mundi, miserére nobis;
qui tollis peccáta mundi, súscipe deprecatiónem nostram.
Qui sedes ad déxteram Patris, miserére nobis.

Quóniam tu solus Sanctus, tu solus Dóminus, tu solus Altíssimus,
Jesu Christe, cum Sancto Spíritu: in glória Dei Patris.
Amen
