Catholic singleness isn't just a waiting room for marriage or religious life—it's a vibrant vocation teeming with purpose. We speak about the practicalities of living a virtuous single life, preparing not only for possible future vocations but also for a life rooted in love and selflessness today. We draw inspiration from the simplicity of monastic life and the Church's wisdom on embracing one's current state with a heart for service and generosity. We tear down the romanticized narratives and provide encouragement and resources for those feeling undervalued, reminding listeners that their identity is so much more than their relationship status. It's important to understand that our current states in life are a gift and we should receive them well. The Lord is always close. We want to extend a huge thank you to everyone that attended SEEK24, and know that we are praying for you.

In his first encyclical, John Paul II wrote:"Man cannot live without love. He remains a being that is incomprehensible for himself, his life is senseless, if love is not revealed to him, if he does not encounter love, if he does not experience it and make it his own, if he does not participate intimately in it."In a world full of people starving for meaning and direction, we hope to provide resources to inspire each person to live in an ever deepening relationship with God and participate more fully in their baptismal identity as beloved sons and daughters of the Father. In this episode, Fr. Michael and Molly are joined by Issy, Madeline, and Julia to discuss their past experiences at SEEK as well as to talk about what it means to "be the light" in anticipation of SEEK24.
