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.
St. Thomas Aquinas is one of the greatest minds of the middle ages and he would become one of the greatest saints of our Church. He lived in Italy in the 13th century in the area now known as Lazio. Thomas was born into a wealthy family. He could be considered brilliant, quiet, resolute, devout, […]
Did you know that Mary was approximately four feet and eleven inches tall? She may be petite, but in the eyes of God, she is a decorated Four-Star General and a powerhouse of a saint. The Blessed Mother is my favorite saint, I admit it. This may be the first of many articles on her. […]
I get a lot of emails from people who are longing for their search for a mate to end, and end soon! Valentine’s Day is likely going to make that feeling even more prominent, especially without a prospect on the horizon. How do you get through Valentine’s Day when you’re single? Let me first be […]
Recently, I sat at a table with several young adults who had gone to a local young adult ministry event advertised as a “dating talk”. I asked what the talk was about. “What to do before getting married,” was the reply. “Cool! What am I supposed to do?” I asked. “You shouldn’t live with the […]
Not so much is known about Joseph, although we can learn more about him through the writings of some mystics. Some say that God revealed him and Mary to each other through prayer before they ever met. He knew that a very special woman named Mary existed before he ever met her. Consequently, they prayed […]
At some point in the past two weeks you have probably self-deprecated yourself. You made a mistake while playing sports and declared yourself “not very good.” A friend said you were smart and you nodded “no way”. For many people self-deprecation is common, but sometimes too common. Maybe you grew up with stories of saints […]
“I think you’re sweet and a really nice guy, but let’s be friends.” “I had a really good time last night. You’re wonderful and a really nice guy, but I don’t think we’re right for each other.” If you have heard any of these things said to you, there is a good chance that you […]
Poland has produced two great mystics this century-John Paul II and St. Faustina. St. Faustina was canonized by John Paul II on April 30, 2000, so in many ways these two great saints are interconnected. Maria Faustina, originally named Helen Kowalska, grew up in a poor family in Poland of ten children. She first felt the […]
Being single allows one time to take many adventures and we should take advantage of this time of greater freedom. Last year, I was blessed to travel to the Holy Land. This beautiful and incredibly small country had a profound impact on my faith and made the Bible truly come alive for me. Day 1: […]
“I like spending time alone,” we’ve heard over and over again upon meeting a person self-identifying as “single”. Most of the time it is a questionable truth.
