You have got to be a discerning, praying Catholic. Why? Because you have to know when the Holy Spirit is saying, hey, I've been telling you to keep your mouth shut for all these months.

Now's the time. Now's when you speak.

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to Knee Shall Bow, your weekly Catholic podcast on evangelization and discipleship.

I'm Dave Van Vickle, and I'm unfortunately not joined by my co-host, Michael Gormley, who I know we all know in love.

But please keep him in your prayers.

It's, um, he's okay.

Everything's fine now, but he had a kind of an emergency situation where basically his appendix ruptured over the weekend, I think.

And, um, he didn't really know it and ended up going to the hospital.

And the surgery was pretty complicated.

So he's out for a little bit.

And texted with him this morning.

He's doing okay.

He's just in a lot of pain right now.

So if you could say a prayer for him, that would be great.

And, yeah, we're just keeping our prayers.

And he'll be back soon i think in the meantime

what we'll do is uh we're going to put parables on hold just for a minute just because

we've been having so much fun doing those together so we'll wait for going we're to come back

for the parables um and we can um just kind of put a pause on things for for a minute here

he should be back soon.
