Being single is often associated with being lonely or just waiting for that next step of your life. But at Catholic Singles, we think the single life is a time for you to thrive and grow closer in your relationship with God. These posts are some of our thoughts and thoughts of our members on the single life in today’s world as a Catholic.
Let’s face it: many of us are waiting for that long term relationship that will lead to marriage. But what are we doing today to prepare for our future partner? The single life shouldn’t be a period of just waiting until you are in a relationship. It should be a time where you spend time preparing yourself for your future partner.
It’s not exactly a secret that many singles are not happy with the way their dating lives work. Depending on what season of life you’re in, there are many different reasons for this discontent. Yet, even among singles of different age groups and walks of life, there is a lot of common ground when we […]
In college, community was easy and convenient. Most of my friends lived within a mile of each other, there was always something going on at school to talk about, and people were passionately pursing a degree. My Newman Center provided a place for Bible studies, heart-to-heart conversations about our faith, and Eucharistic adoration with my […]
Moving to a new city was a logical step after Joseph and I got married at the beginning of last year. Joseph had accepted a new job, we were ready to start a home, and a new city promised some great adventures. When I packed up my things into boxes and moved away, I left […]
Jesus Christ had and does have massive power to confront demons. He is God, the demons are creatures. Remember the exorcism of the man at Gerasene, afflicted by numerous demons. With a word, Jesus commands this army of demons to come out of the man and to go into the pigs. He can do the […]
God provides miracles for us when we pray religiously, and we can ask God for anything. When seeking a healthy relationship through online dating with another traditional Catholic, first ask God to allow Jesus deeper into your heart and life by dating Him for six months. Your heart will heal from past hurt and be […]
A lot of the time, we tend to think of the single life as a cross, as a temporary state until we find our perfect life-mate and everything is fairy-tale perfect. And especially as Catholics where we find ourselves surrounded by an emphasis on the good of family life and marriage, in combat against a […]
In March 2016, on top of a mountain, I said ‘yes’ to a marriage proposal from the love of my life. Ten months later, I vowed before my friends and family that I would love my husband, Joseph, ’til death do us part. My wedding day marked the end of my vocational discernment journey. I […]
Dr. Jordan Peterson, a Canadian psychologist and professor of psychology at the University of Toronto, is making waves on social media with his hours-long lectures and no-fluff advice. He’s gained internet fame for his skill of translating complex ideology into simple, understandable conversations. And people are listening up. His lecture, “Introduction the Idea of God” […]
I walked into a Church once, for the first time, on a college campus where I knew almost no one. It was an evening Mass on a weekday and I wasn’t sure what to wear or what I would find when I walked through the, at the time, ominous large brown doors. I’d been on […]
One of the things I’ve always loved about the Catholic Church is its ability to party. For those outside the Church, partying is probably the last thing that comes to mind when they consider Catholicism.
