I love this article. You're right in saying that there are more than 2 paths: marriage and the religious life. I am still pretty young, but I admire the vocation of consecrated persons living in the world. You are afforded so many opportunities to help others encounter God.
Thank you very much for reading, Lianna! It feels so good to connect with fellow singles and writers. You have a very valuable work that helps many people.
Thank you for sharing your journey. I relate a lot as a single woman and a writer. I am also a counselor, and my singleness has allowed me greater availability to serve my clients.
Your opening line says it all: whether single or married, householder or monastic, there's always a vocation. In my case, my wife and I are part of a householder monastic community and we were eventually called to be parents of our son, now 18 and off to college in August. We'll see where the vocation takes us next!

Thank you for your wonderful insight, Ava! There are indeed countless opportunities to serve God. :-)
I think it can "definitely be a call to love!" THANK YOU, Jocelyn. https://thegoldenmean2040.substack.com/subscribe?utm_source=menu&simple=true&next=https%3A%2F%2Fthegoldenmean2040.substack.com%2F&utm_medium=email
