If there is one cross that single people have to bear, it is the yearning to love and to be loved. It is that desire to have that one person who can be their partner in life, a person who will be there for them through good times and bad times, with the opportunity to bear children whom they could call their own.
I will add you to my daily rosary intentions; for Jocelyn to find her divine purpose; if it be to love a man with her entire being or to love everyone with whom she comes in contact in a God-ly manner. A Franciscan friar with whom I am acquainted tells me to be a 'loving person". I know that still doesn't alleviate that ache that we both; we all, feel to be connected to that one someone.
Granted, you may not bear a child but that does not mean that you cannot give all of the love within you (and I believe that you'd be willing to do so to the right man in an effort to assist him on his way home to heaven). Isn't that really the purpose of Christian marriage; for one spouse to assist the other on their walk home to God?
I tend to believe that while God, alone, can fulfill all of our needs that we all; while we're here; need something or someone (not that we "own" anyone but I think you get the idea) that we can call our own; something to connect to and with.
A priest friend of mine cited a saintly figure who said something to the effect of that the measure of sorrow to which is meted out to us; likewise so will be the measure of joy and I realize that joy will not be in this life. Kind of make one wish that the time in this life; as beautiful as it is, would come to an end so as to taste that joy.
I am interested in the paid subscriber benefits and in becoming a paid subscriber. You mention writing (both email and letters) Could one's correspondence with you be solely through email (faster that way) and is there a limitation on how often one can send you a correspondence?
