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.
Most of us who were raised in the Catholic Church are familiar with the standard go-to prayers. We probably learned how to say the Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be when we were little kids. But despite all of those familiar prayers, not everyone starts their day out with morning prayers. I never learned […]
Three years ago I began writing a book for single Catholic professionals. The demographic of single professionals in the Catholic Church is growing. On one hand the young adult groups are growing not only in numbers, but in age limits, as well. We now have 39 year olds going to young adult activities. Raise your […]
My brother Michael is a seminarian in the diocese of Tegucigalpas in Honduras. My brother Michael is an extremely grateful person. The other night when I was speaking with him on the phone, he mentioned that he was really focusing on gratitude in his life, on thanking God for His many blessings. This struck me […]
I’ve received several emails recently about how difficult it can be to be single for the holidays. Rather than answer each individual case, I thought I would share with you my own personal experience with that same struggle. I remember one particular Christmas gathering where I realized that out of 18 family members, the only […]
Dear Michele, I am torn. In the spirit of Christmas, I want to contact my ex to say “Merry Christmas.” I do hope all is well with her. We split about 6 months ago, although it was not on mutual terms. She indicated that she did not see me as a potential marriage partner. We […]
Solanus Casey was born in Wisconsin in 1870. He was one of sixteen children. His parents had immigrated to America from Ireland. Barney, as he was called as a boy, grew up in a very loving Catholic family. His siblings enjoyed playing baseball together, also skiing and skating, hunting, fishing, and swimming. The Casey family […]
My most recent book promotion took me to Denver, Colorado where a few things happened. First of all, I coincidently went snowboarding on Copper mountain for a bachelor party. I think the best bachelor parties are the ones that test some man skill like endurance, confidence, or athletic ability. Carving black diamonds for eight hours […]
One of my favorite exhibits in the world can be found in the American Museum of Natural History. The museum is rich with delights to wonder your mind so it really is a daunting statement to say one exhibit above all else stands out. The exhibit I speak of is the ‘Scales of the Universe’ […]
Recently, I felt I needed to infuse some energy into my daily routine so I tried the carpe diem approach and told myself, “This is my last week on Earth. What am I going to do?” I thought about calling it my last day but then I’d probably just finish Season 3 of Mozart in […]
Happy New Year 2017 everyone! Now that 2016 is behind us, let us start this year off on the right foot. Now, some of you are probably single like me and after seeing all your best friends posting that they are engaged, in a courtship, or currently with child, you are probably feeling depressed that […]
