Pri..."You get that I'm a nun, right?"<br />Priceless - you crack me up (in a good way Sister). I love your digressions! <br />I was always the one among my friends who wold be married and raising a family first. Years later, some of them are on their second divorce or fifth "long-term" relationship; I'm still single, still waiting. I've been called "picky", but how picky wold yo want to be when committing your heart to and sharing your daily life with someone? I say that I'm ready, but over the past year I've been more accepting that God may bring someone into my life when He's good and ready. I've stopped thinking there's something I must be doing wrong or that I'm not this or not that. It helps. Although if you do see a dead-ringer for Bruce Springsteen who's Catholic, single, vegetarian, a non-smoker, likes cats, can bake, is good at Scrabble but not THAT good.... You think I'm picky huh?Gigihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13592406521067190359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-35711139861718873802013-02-02T15:29:45.824-08:002013-02-02T15:29:45.824-08:00"St. Anne, St. Anne, find me a man, quick as ..."St. Anne, St. Anne, find me a man, quick as you can."<br /><br />This prayer was recommended by a friend who met an Irish tour guide in Lourdes. This tour guide was at a shrine, praying this prayer, and a man tripped over her feet (I guess she was kneeling) and they fell in love and were married!<br /><br />So, when I visited a shrine of St. Anne last year I prayed this prayer ... and I kid you not, one day St. Anne's intercession brought about the jackpot.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08875379224298110823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-1929617655694137082013-02-02T03:11:27.907-08:002013-02-02T03:11:27.907-08:00Danielle, is your significant other in the militar...Danielle, is your significant other in the military? I'm a military spouse, and I feel for you. It may be a good thing though that the two of you are separated now before you get married. Before we were married, my husband got deployed for a year, and we didn't get engaged until R&R (his two weeks of leave during that year). It prepared me for the future and especially the process of getting used to each other again after the separation was a great learning experience that helped make our marriage better.

I'm sure I've seen an old English rhyme that goes something like "Please St Catherine, a husband, St Catherine, Good, St Catherine, rich, St Catherine, but arn a one better than narn a one, St Catherine!Marion Teaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08173040175521050516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-61074859657877000482013-02-01T08:33:59.666-08:002013-02-01T08:33:59.666-08:00Today is the Feast of St. Brigid of Ireland, the o...Today is the Feast of St. Brigid of Ireland, the only woman ordained a bishop, by accident, of course, when the ordaining bishop had had a little too much to drink.<br />Anyway, St. Joseph is a wonderful matchmaker!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-83125502423512839172013-01-31T21:37:53.188-08:002013-01-31T21:37:53.188-08:00A matchmaker!

But right after I had given the whole marriage thing into Our Lord's hands, a dear friend said she had someone she'd like me to meet. I felt like maybe I should cooperate... The first someone didn't work out. But the second one turned out to be the most wonderful guy in the world. By-the-bye, she and her husband went on the first couple of dates to make sure all went smoothly. (She's a great matchmaker!)<br />Beth<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-66655300968963698462013-01-31T19:02:00.597-08:002013-01-31T19:02:00.597-08:00I was going to ask you for relationship advice, to...I was going to ask you for relationship advice, too, SMM.
