”True Femininity”, ”Advice for Single Catholics” & ”Trusting Jesus” | ACW272

Questions answered this episode:

• I’m a single Catholic woman in my early 30’s. I’m normally drawn to things that are typically associated with men. A spiritual director from the past attempted to direct me to more traditionally feminine things. What does femininity and masculinity really mean? Can not having a feminine or masculine enough personality constitute an impediment to marriage or to religious life?
• Do you have any advice for single Catholics that are feeling a lack of Jesus’s love?
• I’m a single 34 year old Catholic woman. I long for marriage but I haven’t found a man this is looking for the same things as me. Could it be that my vocation is not marriage even though it is not what I long for? How can I continue to trust Jesus?
