Singles should knock on heavens door in their search for a life-long partner and soulmate. God knows us; our likes and dislikes, needs and wants, passions and joys, sorrows and heartaches, better than we know them ourselves. He created us and has a plan for our lives which is a journey towards love.

God knows what will make us happy and if that includes being married, he will have already prepared a happy encounter with our intended husband or wife.

Love transforms people though, so we need to be open to change and being moulded into the person we have been created to be. At first, it can seem frightening and risky, but do not be afraid. Step out into the deep, take that step of faith in God's plan and through it each one of us will discover a new freedom, confidence and fulfilment.

The Catholic Church holds up Saint Raphael as a spiritual helper to us. Consider making him a spiritual friend. He awaits our approach and will faithfully pray for us and our needs.

"O Lord, you know me:

you have scrutinised me.

You know when I sit and when I rise;

beforehand you discern my thoughts.

You observe my activities and time of rest; you are familiar with all my ways.

Search me, O God, and know my heart;

try me and know my thoughts.

See if my steps are going astray,

and lead me in your eternal way."

Adapted from Psalm 139
