Faith Put into Practice
​

The following videos are by Ascension Presents and Fr. Mike Schmitz offers practical advice on how to follow your faith in many areas of one's life.  All of these videos can help single Catholics practice their Catholic faith.  Watch now.
​
Fr. Mike explains why it is so important to attend Catholic Mass every week.  There are some Catholics who think that Mass is optional but it is an every-week obligation.  If one does not attend Mass, it is a serious mortal sin that causes one to become separated from God.  Serious mortal sin can only be forgiven through absolution by a priest in confession.  A person cannot receive the Holy Eucharist with mortal sins on their souls.
Every person experiences loneliness at one time or another.  It isn't a disease to be alone.  In fact, most single people experience loneliness and there's nothing wrong with that.  God has given you this time for you to have a closer relationship with Him and to learn how to love others.  This doesn't mean that single people should go out with the wrong type of people but it means that you should learn how to love your neighbors and spend this "lonely time" in service to God, for Jesus and for others.
Every person experiences temptations of impurity.  No one escapes it.  But the way in which you handle this type of temptation, makes all the difference.  God gives us all the strength we need in order to counteract this temptation and we must avoid impurity by making changes to our life decisions in order to avoid falling for impurity in life.
Every person wants clarity to know what they should do in their lives but Fr. Mike states that God has already revealed to you things that He wants you to do today.
Is there such as thing as finding "The One"?  Fr. Mike Schmitz discusses the reasons why many single people get "analysis paralysis" because they are so concerned about finding that one person they think they should marry.
This video is for those who do not seem to have a clear vocation in their life.  In this video, Fr. Mike gives the advice that when one is trying to discern their vocation, it might not be easy to figure out what vocation would suit us best.  But one thing is for sure and that is that God wants us to do His Will and to strive to become the best Catholic we can be right now.
