Just the other day I had yet another
Mother contact me in relation to praying for her daughter who was looking for a
good man to date.This has been an all
to common prayer request these days.Like in any time, it can be difficult in finding a good partner to go
through life with yet we ought ask …just how more difficult it is in our modern
times?How has the crisis in the Church
only added to this equation?So many
women are looking but are they looking to do God’s Will or are they pursuing
dating from a “self” perspective? Furthermore, this
article does not just apply to women but since I predominantly work with women
this is how we shall proceed.Yes, the
distraught dames are crying out from the top of the Castle.Some of them resorting to internet dating
websites or going on blind dates that have been set up by friends.Yet I ask the question always “Is it God’s
Will?”Why try to chase down something
that God may have already “shot down”.Why get emotional today over not having “someone” when in fact you have
Jesus and Mary and have this very day to serve them?Why complain when you can live life and allow
God to “work in” your husband at some point in your life.It is true, that the more we search the more opportunity
we have to find.Yet I ask what are you
trying to find?Is it God’s Will and if
not why not?
Many say they seek God’s Will.This can be very confusing to say the least
especially those younger.What is God’s
Will for me?Where is my husband…where
can I hunt him down.In this pursuit,
much like an apparent safari hunt we lose focus of God and lose focus for the
day.Rather than get all emotional in
this battle of self vs God’s Will wake up each day with the disposition to
serve Jesus.You are more than likely
not going to meet your husband today but you may have very well passed over
that homeless man who was in need.You
may have very well pushed away some sibling in need who needed your ear.This is what you are missing that God is
trying to show you.Seek ye first the
kingdom AND THEN ALL THESE THINGS SHALL BE ADDED UNTO YOU.
Compromised morals.I have known quite a few females from this
past year or so who are even willing to compromise their morals in order to
secure a man!Yet this is not even a
sure thing.Guys will say whatever to
get in bed with a woman and there is no reassurance that the man will
stay.This is literally how desperate
some “Catholic” women are becoming.Again, this cries out loudly “I want…”.Folks, we must remember life is truly not about what we want but rather
fulfilling God’s Will.It can be
frightening when we read Scripture to see that Jesus will be turning away an
awful lot of “Christians” who thought they were walking the walk.They did not do God’s Will and thus it will cost
them their soul.Remember at Fatima our
Lady expressed how a good number of marriages were not ordained by God.So why rush?Why worry?Do you have Jesus
today (in a state of grace?) than live!Do not compromise your moral code and change your hearts direction over
the reality that you are single.I know
an awful lot of Catholics who are married who are completely not happy
either.I always point this out to these
women who are on the safari hunt for a man.Sometimes you get what you ask for and then regret it but how can we go
wrong when we ask God “what is it today that will please you?”If we do this daily that crooked smile will
begin to become sincere.
Crisis in the Church.I have been asked (if I were a dating man)
would you date someone form the Novus ordo.I reply that on the surface I would not however I wouldn’t abandon that
particular person.By constantly trying to
demonstrate the differences between the Catholic Religion and Novus ordo
Religion it is quite possible that thy eventually “see the light”.Having said that even after years of marriage
people can change. Can they not?Who knows maybe some abandons the Faith
altogether 20 years down the road thus no one really knows for sure.An awful lot of families are ruptured and/or
are fighting consistently in this crisis of the Church.It is sad without question but what about
those trying to date?We know what the
Church teaches on mixed marriages and I would argue it applies here as well
(with Novus ordo).God knows how many of
these Novus Ordites truly “want” to be Catholic in their hearts but their
doctrines speaks otherwise.
Planet X is coming do not date?Believe it or not I have been asked this
question too.We must remember my
vocation is not your vocation.Do not
apply what God asks of me into your own life.This is not the time to lock yourself in the closet but rather the
complete opposite.Live life and live it
abundantly.Simply because we know the
Tribulation is close doesn’t mean we stop life altogether.It also doesn’t mean to start an account on
Planet X dating.com either.Do not hide
nor rush these are signs of an unsettled heart.You need not build a bunker over your heart and wait for the next ‘tragedy”.We are victorious as Christians and if we
take that disposition than the devil knows he already has us.Having said all of this I do offer advice and
suggest to those who are apparently spending too much time on their safari hunt
for the right man to spend a lot more time in prayer.Are we ready to meet Jesus our TRUE LOVER
right now?If not why not?You spend all that time searching for an
earthly husband when you neglect the Bridegroom Himself.Ask yourself today when you get all
emotional, “Is Jesus not enough today?”In the end when in doubt LAUGH don't complain God is in control. Ave Maria!
