• Hello Father Leo:

  I was wondering if you know anything about the Slow Food USA movement. They are rather secular in their approach to doing things but seem to be in line with Grace Before Meals. I have not found anything either pro or anti Catholic and there is nothing on the web about Slow Food advocating population control.

  If you have any information concerning the Slow Food Movement, I would appreciate it.

  I did find a video of the Slow Food International, Carlo Petrini, diving a parable of Heaven and Hell:

  Thank you,

• Fr. Leo,

  Hello, I had the oportunity to watch you and Booby Flay of the Food Network do the Fajita Throwdown, in which you won. Congratulations.

  I also noticed that you have a black belt in Tae Kwon Do along with being an master of Arnis, a martial art from the Philippines.

  I am also a Catholic and I study Tae Kwon Do. The question I have is this. Since all of our gifts and abilities come from God, how can we use them to draw more people to Him? For me I enjoy fishing and martial arts. How can I use these gifts and abilities to draw people to God?

  Thank you in advance for your reply.

  Gerald

• Hi Father Leo, I wanted to let you know the grace we say before our meals. I find it more meaningful to my young grand-children. We thank God for what we are thankful for in this day. The answer is most of the time for food, family and some other good thing that happen to us during the day. could be a visits from a friend, a play date after school with a friend,cookies that nana make for us to have after school and so on. I find that we all have to think of what we really think a gift to be. WONDERFUL IDEA YOU ARE WORKING ON. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR PROJECT.
  FONDLY, JACQUELINE

• Hello Fr. Leo,

  I noticed that you like to cook and eat a lot of pasta. Here’s tip I recently discovered while experimenting in my own kitchen. Add a herb or garlic to your water while cooking your pasta. So far, I’ve only used onion, garlic or fennel seed, but I see potential for so much more. The chosen herb really adds to the flavor of the pasta. Mmmmm.

  Enjoy,

  G-

• Hello!
  I would like to begin by saying I saw your show on EWTN. I have been inspired this year to cook !!! and cook out side my comfort zone….but I ran into a bit of a slump and that’s when I saw your show and have been reinvigorated! I have checked out your web site, blog ,videos and bought your book…I guess I am a fan!
  My question is in the EWTN episode you discussed wearing the apron and why it was like putting on the armor of God…..could you please tell me where I can get a transcript of that show or would be so kind as to go over it again for me ….Thank you!
  Chris
  PS I am looking forward to your next book I think you mentioned it would be for couples.

• Dear Fr. Leo,

  My son, Matthew, is 9 years old, LOVES food, and has shown signs of a vocation to the priesthood. He would like to know if there is a way for him to have a restaurant AND become a priest.

  Sincerely,
  Karen

• Hello Fr. Leo,

  Any idea what these “strong meat” Bible verses mean?

  Heb 5:12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
  Heb 5:13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
  Heb 5:14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

  To GOD be the glory…..Nick

• Nick: It means we all have to grow up. We can’t only rely on milk, candy and basically eat childish food. At some point, we’ll have to learn how to eat “meat” (which is why PETA is kinda’ theologically incompatible with their anti-meat campaigns), or eat the real food that God wants to give us. Peace!

• Fr. Leo……Hello & thanks for the reply,

  Interesting culinary chat concerning “meat, milk, and babes”.

  One more Q……Are these verses indicating some kind of spiritual meaning?

  1Co 3:1 AndG2532 I,G1473 brethren,G80 couldG1410 notG3756 speakG2980 unto youG5213 asG5613 unto spiritual,G4152 butG235 asG5613 unto carnal,G4559 even asG5613 unto babesG3516 inG1722 Christ.G5547

  1Co 3:2 I have fedG4222 youG5209 with milk,G1051 andG2532 notG3756 with meat:G1033 forG1063 hitherto ye were not ableG3768 G1410 to bear it, neitherG3777 yetG2089 nowG3568 are ye able.G1410

  1Co 3:3 ForG1063 ye areG2075 yetG2089 carnal:G4559 forG1063 whereasG3699 there is amongG1722 youG5213 envying,G2205 andG2532 strife,G2054 andG2532 divisions,G1370 areG2075 ye notG3780 carnal,G4559 andG2532 walkG4043 asG2596 men?G444

  From The Strong
  Carnal – From G4561; pertaining to flesh, that is, (by extension) bodily, temporal, or (by implication) animal, unregenerate: – carnal, fleshly.

  Spiritual -From G4151; non-carnal, that is, (humanly) ethereal (as opposed to gross), or (daemoniacally) a spirit (concretely), or (divinely) supernatural, regenerate, religious: – spiritual. Compare G5591.

  Babes-From an obsolete particle ?? ne; implying negation and G2031; not speaking, that is, an infant (minor); figuratively a simple minded person, an immature Christian: – babe, child (+ -ish)

  To GOD be the glory……Nick
