🧶 Do you want to learn how to knit or crochet but find even “easy” tutorials confusing?

🐑 I’ve found the clearest tutorials in the Wool and the Gang channel! They use huge needles and cords so it’s much easier to see exactly what they’re doing.

They also go slowly, repeat the process, and offer written explanations.

Letter from the Francisco Castello Aleu (chemist, 22 years old), to his girlfriend.
Martyred in November 29, 1936:

Dear Mariona:
Our lives came together, and God has decided to tear us appart. To him I offer, with all of my intense wishes, my intense pure and sincere love that I have professed you.
I feel sorry for your misfortune and not mine. Feel proud about it: your two brothers and your fiancé. Poor Mariona! Something strange is happening to me, I feel no shame for my luck. An intense happiness is overcoming me. I wanted to make a sad goodbye letter to you, but I can't. I am wrapped by cherish ideas, just like a presentiment of glory.
I wanted to talk about how much I would had loved you, the tenderness I reserved to you, of the happiness we would had lived. But all of that, seems secundary to me. I'll take a great step.
I just want to say one thing: if you can, marry. From Heaven I'll bless your union and your children. Please, do not cry for me, I don't want that. Feel proud about myself. I love you.

I am running out of time.

Francisco.

We have made this focused on Catholics, This can be applied to many other non-catholics, so suit yourself. Insert your religion in the faith part and that's it.

Where and how to find worthy people to marry? for both women and men.

There are several places where you can find:

-Traditional parishes, groups and traditionalist events.
-Pilgrimages such as Chartres, Fatima or similar.
-Events and pro-life groups, Public Rosary.
-Cultural associations linked to religious or patriotic themes.
-Adoration, holy hours.
-Conservative groups and parishes, formation groups.
-University clubs.
-Volunteering.

If you life in places where the enviroment is too liberal, you will have to move more and in more groups, so you can have more posibilities.

How and Who.

Obviously, you should go to those places not only to hook up, but first to get closer to God, to improve yourself, the same can be said online, go to groups where you learn and improve yourself, to be closer to God, not places where it is a matter of "meeting single Catholics". There are two things to understand:

A) You're not so special, you don't have such a high "value", as if you think you

B) If you want to have an exceptional partner, it's up to you to become even more exceptional

In addition to social skills, we must focus on seeking virtue in people, not only in the most active, attractive and attention-grabbing, in all, first, we see if objectively are virtuous people without any attachment to them, we have made a list of virtues for each:

-Husband material list
-Wife material list

After having judged that, you can move on to see if there is good chemistry, compatibility, interest, good communication, long, etc... you can move on.

Now people usually get attached first, their judgment is clouded by feelings, so they do not judge correctly and end up with non-virtuous people, that is a big mistake that is very common. For the rest, just look for the Catholic courtship guidelines, there are many out there, here we are only dealing with what is not usually said.

However, It is always there to persevere in prayer to find that ideal partner. Ask God and he wil provide, if its his will.
