LOVE STORY
"I wanna be loved like that!" - That is what I often say to myself when I am there gazing upon the big Hollywood screen of all romantic movies! Boy meets girl, boy falls in love with girl, boy and girl get married, and all live happily ever after. I know that is what so many of us
dream for and long for. But as Catholics, as believers in God for that
matter, we need to trust! Trust that God knows what He is doing with our
love lives. Trust that His time, not ours, is the best timing. Trust
that He is preparing that prince or princess for us every day and we
have to continue to prepare ourselves as well. I know that is hard in
this 'sex-driven' world that we live in. We must not give in to the
pressures that say, "I must have a boyfriend/girlfriend!" - I
have to go all the way or he wont like me anymore." - "I have
to buy her these things or she won’t be my girlfriend anymore!" The temptations of our human body sometimes feel so strong, that we can't help but give in to them. But be strong faithful soldiers! Pray, pray and pray some more you
faithful lovers! Ask your Guardian Angel to help you keep strong and
pure. Ask our Blessed Mother to watch over you and your future spouse to
keep you holy and chaste. Pray for God's will, maybe He even wants you
to consider a religious vocation as a sister, brother or priest. Be open
to His call for you! God will grant you the desires of your heart. God
is hearing your prayers and will answer them in His time! Check out the
little poem below. Do what I did-cut it out, hang it on your mirror or
some place that you will see it daily and read it EVERY day! I promise
it will help to move you along on your journey to your future spouse.
Because we need to remember that the Ultimate Lover loves us more than
we can ever imagine. God loves you more than any human ever can, so you
better learn how to accept and return His love, before you can even
think about accepting and returning the love of a spouse. So, the next time you catch yourself
dreaming about your Hollywood Love Story, remember that your Heaven Love
Story will win more Academy awards than this world can ever offer! -Author Unknown |
 St. Michael the Archangel St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle; be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do you, O prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into Hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
