Purpose
This is a Catholic dating site for practising men and women around the Earth who are looking to find their match with the hope of, God willing, unite in Holy Matrimony according to ALL the precepts and teachings of our Holy Church:
'The matrimonial covenant, by which a man and a woman establish between themselves a partnership for the whole life, is by its nature ordered toward the good of the spouses and the procreation and education of the offspring; this covenant between baptized persons has been raised by Christ the Lord to the dignity of a Sacrament.' (Catechism of the Catholic Church, Art.7: The Sacrament of Matrimony, 1601).
You also acknowledge that you are now completely free to marry in the Catholic Church.
This is what we accept in order to become members of this site. You and everyone who communicate you through the means of contact provided by us must be willing to accept and promise to fulfill all the conditions required by our Church since the moment you join the site.
Our Mother the Church has advised Catholics many times that if we try to live our Faith within marriage with integrity and transmit it to our children, we should search for a good practicing Catholic to be our partner for life. Why? Because this way we shall have the best assurance that we can fulfill the ends of Marriage. If we are both good Catholics:
• When we unite in the Sacrament, we both possess, besides the Sacramental Grace (which is real and operational), the strength given by God through our life of Faith and His help to love and respect (physically and spiritually) one another, and to bring our offspring and educate them in the principles of our Faith without the conflicts caused by different beliefs or moral convictions.
• Our love, as imitation of the one Christ has for His Church, is literally fortified, exalted, increased and deified to the maximum extent possible.
• Our family becomes a happy and cheerful home that grows in love and respect between the parents, between them and the children and all the friends who participate in the life of this home.
• The mutual agreement in all aspects of the Faith and Christian morality allow us to expand our apostolate which is born in the home, with the same warmth of Bethlehem and Nazareth, toward our children and the other relatives and friends who surround us.
• The conjugal act is exalted and empowered not only through the generation of life, bringing new souls to integrate the Church, but also increased by the Grace of the Sacrament to the highest level possible.
Our first brothers in the Faith were fully aware of both the reality of the short life in this world, but also that their eternal soul was very real and a much more valuable treasure to preserve. Their immense love for our risen Lord was also their most important motivation to love the men and women around them, but also their urgency to convince them that it was worth living…and dying for this God who was giving them His Love and eternal, real life forever in a never-ending happiness.
For the ones, men or women, who chose to unite themselves in sacramental marriage it was not any different: they treasured their mutual love, trust and fidelity, and they welcomed the children He sent them as a participation of communicating His life and His sacred legacy. Their first commitment towards their sons and daughters was their education in this Faith and love for Him; nothing, not even worldly life itself was more important than the soul of their children: they were the continuation of Christianity for the centuries to come.
Is this any different today, now?
The success of our site is based not just on the quantity of members, but more on your quality, the one of those who participate in trying to know each other and your effort in building a stable and holy relationship with the only purpose of mutual love and to serve our God and His Holy Church.
God bless you and help you find the one!
