Reaffirming my belief in the Catholic faith — a priest who prays not to talk absolute shite when he’s sozzled:
A new Catholic prayer book aimed at teenagers includes a prayer for God’s help to avoid talking rubbish when drunk.
“Lord, if in an unsober state, and under the influence of those around me, I say something stupid, please give me strength to retract my words. Protect me against senseless bravado and pride,” reads the prayer.
The book, released in Poland by Dominican monk Wojciech Jedrzejewski, has angered the Polish Catholic community as well as national media.
But Father Jedrzejewski stands by his work. He said: “This book will make it easier for young people to meet with God.””
