Our Holy Family and True Family
We truly have a Holy Family in Heaven that watches out for us and protects us when we pray to them. We are never alone although many single Catholics may feel that way. I personally keep a picture of the Holy Family and of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in my home and by my bedside. I try to say when I wake up, "Good Morning Dear Blessed Mother, Almighty Father, Lord Jesus, St. Joseph, St. Michael and my dear Guardian Angel." And, there have been many times at night when I feel comforted when I am alone because I know that the Sacred Heart of Jesus is guarding me and keeping me safe.
Many single Catholics have to stop feeling sorry for themselves that they are single and may not have a husband, wife or kids right now. Maybe God is waiting for them to become closer to Him and Our Lord Jesus first before they find someone to get married with, or decide to go into religious life or just decide to stay single. It is important that single Catholics continue to grow in their Catholic faith and gain a mature understanding of the Holy Family and about Their role in their lives. Single Catholics must deepen their relationship with Our Almighty Father, with Our Lord Jesus and with Our Blessed Mother. Sure, times get difficult but we have to continue to read and grow in Our Catholic faith, not stay stagnant or immature about it.
We have to start thinking of the Holy Family as Our True family. Many single Catholics may be saying, "Well, how can the Holy Family really help me? They cannot help me because they are all in Heaven and I need someone to help me on earth." If you could only imagine that the Holy Family in Heaven has a greater capacity to help us on Earth than our earthly family can, you would be surprised. Let me ask you a few questions, "Can your family on Earth cure illnesses or disease? Can your earthly family protect you against evil or against the devil? Can your earthly family summon angels to help you in a moments notice? No, your family on Earth cannot do any of these things. Quite simply, the Holy Family in Heaven has a greater capacity to help us on earth than our earthly family does.
We should talk to the Holy Family as much as possible and pray to Them and ask for their guidance and protection. When you feel lonely in your life, don't hesitate to call on the Holy Family and ask Them to be with you and take care of you because you are alone and need help. Tell the Holy Family that you love Them just like you do with your earthly family. Unfortunately, there are some single Catholics who have lost their parents or family members or maybe live too far away from their family. When this is the case, they should know that they have a Holy Family in Heaven that is taking care of them. Single Catholics just need to take the time to pray to the Holy Family and ask for help when they need it.
I will tell you how the Almighty Father, Our Lord Jesus and the Blessed Mother helped me. Once, I had a really bad infection and I was in a lot of pain. I told my mother to take me to the Emergency department at the local clinic. While there, the doctor gave me some medicine for the infection. When I got home, I decided to pray the Rosary and I begged Our Lord Jesus and the Blessed Mother to help me by taking the pain away because it was so intense. I was actually crying while saying the Rosary. I also used some Lourdes water that I had in my drawer to put on me for the pain. I couldn't believe it but after I finished the Rosary, my pain completely disappeared. The infection and pain had gone away without me even having to take the medication. This type of healing may not happen to everyone but this is a personal true story and I tell it because my earthly family could take me to the clinic but they could not take my infection or pain away from me, only the Almighty Father, Our Lord Jesus and the Blessed Mother could. For others, I would still recommend going to see a doctor if they have medical problems. Even so, I am now a firm believer in the power of the Holy Family and that they are my True family in Heaven and that they have a powerful presence on Earth too and can truly be there for me whenever I need Them.
So, the next time you feel sad or lonely living alone, know that you have a Holy Family and True Family in Heaven and on Earth that can be with you wherever you are. You just need to treat Them like your Real family and ask them to help you and to protect you. May God and the Holy Family be with you always and may you become closer to the Holy Family and keep Them close to you all of your lives.
