“A woman’s heart should be so lost in God, that a man must
seek Him to find her.”
- Maya Angelou
My first few adult years have been a great learning
experience as I seek God’s will for my life and I’ve found great encouragement through
reading other Catholic blogs. There are many great resources online such as TheChastity Project, Catholic Gentleman, Jackie&Bobby and Arleen Spenceley
that discuss dating, marriage, and chastity just to name a few. Check them out
if you haven’t already!
I feel very strongly that it’s so important to find a woman
that is completely in love with God. Good character is very important. After
all, it is our spouse’s job to help us get to our heavenly destination. Upon
reading Jackie&Bobby (a website run by a married couple) on the subject of
a woman’s heart, I began praying for my future wife, offering her up to Our
Lord at daily Mass as the host and chalice are elevated. In today’s culture,
praying and waiting is not an option, but I believe that if you surrender
everything in your life completely to God, wonderful things can happen and it’s
exciting to see the results.
Here are a few ideas from JackieandBobby.com that can be
helpful in searching for a spouse-
Pray for your future
wife or husband
Consecrate them to the
Blessed Virgin Mary
Start a 54 day novena
(27 days in petition, 27 in thanksgiving no matter what happens)
Write a journal for
your future spouse
Take comfort in knowing that God is always with us in
everything we do and He will never let you be alone.
God loves you and He is always in control.
John, this is really poignant for me. I spend a lot of time praying for this, and often wonder if anyone else is, as well! Thanks for writing this post.
