Drawing Near to Christ While Witnessing Your Loved One's Agony

A few days ago, I witnessed my daughter’s skin being torn from her body … the excruciating pain she endured is hard to shake … For me, the saints’ martyrdoms that were most disturbing were those whose agonies consisted of their skin being ripped, torn, or cut from their bodies or those who wer...

Jesus Says Repentance Is Important

Here’s a concept that will shock you: Satan, the devil himself, knows more correct theology about God than even the most brilliant saints in Church history. It’s true! Satan, after all, is a supernatural being with an intellect far greater than mere mortals.... (www.catholic365.com)

"The will of God is not something you add to your life. It's a course you choose. You either line yourself up with the Son of God…or you capitulate to the principle which governs the rest of the world."

It is always better to enter into his will. Yet how many times do we ask God to do our will, rather than we do what he wills?... (www.catholic365.com)

I had the honor of teaching the tenets of the Catholic faith to my two nieces, Abby and Olivia as they entered into full communion with the Church at the Easter Vigil in 2018. Over the course of that year, both of my nieces delved deeply into the mysteries of the faith, mysteries that serve to enric... (www.catholic365.com)

Mini-retreat for Mothers week One - What is motherhood? First week of Lent

So, it is the first week of Lent - or at least when I am writing this and have we thought about "What is motherhood?" Now many women think a "mother" is one who has a child and/or baby in her arms. However, a mother is also one who had a miscarriage, stillbirth or other loss - you are still a mo... (www.catholic365.com)

It is Sunday, and we moved our clocks ahead to save time again. Because of this, the question came to my mind,--and I will ask you. If you save time---where do you put it? Where do you store it so you can go get it when needed?... (www.catholic365.com)

"We have to state, without mincing words, that there is an inseparable bond between our faith and the poor. May we never abandon them."

Some would argue that God’s Judgment at the Second Coming inspires fear, and so therefore we ought not reflect upon either the Second Coming, or upon the three of the four Last Things that seem “negative”: Hell, death and judgment.... (www.catholic365.com)

Satan's Tactics - Reflection on the Gospel of the 1st Sunday of Lent

Jesus has just finished fending off Satan for 40 days in the desert. That’s 40 days without food. 40 days in the heat, with sand everywhere, without a shower. 40 days of saying “no” to sin and “yes” to God. Sounds like Lent, or what it’s meant to be!... (www.catholic365.com)

In Trials, Ask God What Virtue He is Helping You Grow

I heard a piece of advice in a Lenten program I've been going through that really resonated with me with regard to overcoming sin and growing in holiness: In times of trial and conflict, ask God what virtue He is helping you grow in.... (www.catholic365.com)

Lent a spiritual fight

It might seem odd to call Lent a spiritual fight. After all, fasting is physical and not spiritual, right? Well, not only is fasting spiritual, but abstaining from meat is also spiritual. Indeed, they are both. Our body and soul are not separate pieces that do not affect each other. What we do ... (www.catholic365.com)

Prayer, mercy and fasting: These three are one, and they give life to each other. Fasting is the soul of prayer; mercy is the lifeblood of fasting. Let no one try to separate them; they cannot be separated. If you have only one of them or not all together, you have nothing.

In these reading’s God is trying to make clear what the purpose of fasting (or, in fact, any type of penance) is. On the surface, when we fast we are imitating Christ, who fasted for forty days in the desert.... (www.catholic365.com)

The cross is God's way of taking away all of our accusations, excuses, and arguments……The cross is God taking on flesh and blood and saying, "Me too."

Many Christians are willing to make sacrifices during Lent: they are willing to deny themselves chocolate, or television, or even Facebook! But Jesus says that to follow Him, we have to deny ourselves much more: each of us has to deny his very self. But what does this mean?... (www.catholic365.com)
