Spiritual Desolation

This is an item that should be mentioned more but there might be some trepidation to talk about it since the very essence gets right into the heart of the Church.

When I think of a large rock held in space by forces of gravity, of people evolved from lower species and the things that happen as random events unconnected to anything beyond our finite understanding, I wonder if anything would have survived on this planet given humanity’s capability for destructi...

Why Humanae Vitae Was Right

Following Jesus is easy when life runs smoothly; our true commitment to Him is revealed during trials. Jesus assured us that trials will come to His followers (John 16:33). Discipleship demands sacrifice, and Jesus never hid that cost.

Our Lord Jesus asks that we reflect on the question of whom we serve in our lives.... (www.catholic365.com)

‘Nitty Gritty' Life and the Sacraments

The men’s group at my parish is doing a summer program called “The Bible and the Sacraments.” It’s very interesting and informative, and no, contrary to popular opinion, I’m not attending these sessions only because they feed us breakfast. That’s a nasty rumor started by, um, by everyone who knows m... (www.catholic365.com)

Many feel the terms "Sabbath day" and "play day" are synonymous. . . . But I . . . know that remembering to keep the Sabbath day holy is one of the most important commandments we can observe in preparing us to be the recipients of the whisperings of the Spirit.

Just think that the greatest miracle takes place in your local parish church every Sunday when bread becomes the body of Jesus for you.... (www.catholic365.com)

Doctors Who Love God

One of the biggest complaints of those who visit their doctors is how the physician pays more attention to their computer screens than them. This treatment of a human being, at least implicitly, denies the needs of the soul.... (www.catholic365.com)

Happy is he who still loves something he loved in the nursery: He has not been broken in two by time; he is not two men, but one, and he has saved not only his soul but his life.

This is not the first time Jesus uses the children as a point of reference. In Lk. 18: 17 we read: anyone who does not welcome the reign of God like a child will never enter it. It is clearly not a matter of being childish, but of being childlike.... (www.catholic365.com)
