Jian never liked heights, but as the head workman in charge of this section of the Great Wall, he ignored his personal inclinations. Duty ruled his will. He managed seventy slaves in turn. What they did with their wills was of little consequence—as long as they obeyed him, and he lived to see anothe... (www.catholic365.com)

Gun Control or Virtues?

All three. Unfortunately, we are not hearing much, if anything, about the latter two. Instead, we see and hear one side vehemently promulgating their anti-gun agenda, and the other side steadfastly defending the 2nd Amendment. Regardless of which side of the gun control debate you are on, it's clear... (www.catholic365.com)

Diminishing Fervor in the Church Today

Nowadays, it is hard to imagine that anyone would spend two weeks preparing for Communion, or two weeks in thanksgiving afterward. How much we Christians take God for granted today! Consequently, we do not witness the miracles we should. We do not avail ourselves of all the power the sacraments affo... (www.catholic365.com)

From His Passion to Resurrection to Mystagogy

Where it all began, the suffering He endured, the nails, the spitting, the very rejection of God who loves us and was willing to become our very sinfulness as the greatest sign from a Father who cares enough to send His Son as the payment towards the ultimate reunion of Creator and His Creatures; th...

Palm Sunday - The tragedy of this event was the fickleness of the people. At this point they are acclaiming the Lord Jesus as the long expected Messiah – within a few days they were crying for His death!

Jesus enters Jerusalem on a colt (a kingly practice) and the people respond with great joy. Far too quickly that joy response turns to the bitter hatred shown in the trial and cruel death of Jesus. From the "hosannas" of Palm Sunday to the jeering, "Give us Barabbas" of Good Friday seems such a lo... (www.catholic365.com)

Expectant Fervor in the Early Church

The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass had basically the same structure in the early Church as it has today. Before being fed with the Body and Blood of Christ in the Liturgy of the Eucharist, the congregation was fed with the Word of God in the Liturgy of the Word.... (www.catholic365.com)

Day 321 – Quid est veritas?

Today we read Pilate’s famous statement, “What is truth?” It is an important statement. Pilate is the governor of Judea, the ruler who is responsible for thousands of people’s lives, yet to him truth is fungible. The statement of Pilate comes immediately after Jesus has aligned himself with the s... (www.catholic365.com)

Let us ask ourselves, is our faith fruitful? Does our faith produce good works? Or is it barren, and therefore more dead than alive? Am I a neighbor, or do I simply walk on by? Am I one of those who choose people according to my taste?

What are the “works” that Jesus is talking about? As I see it, they are works of healing (the man born blind), of feeding the hungry (the multiplication of the loaves and fish), of answering people’s needs (the wedding at Cana), among others.... (www.catholic365.com)

Power Cords And Apostolic Succession

Which of these three cords power the lamp? Obviously, it’s the middle one. You can know this because the lamp is on (you can see its light), and because you can see where the other two cords begin. You know this even though you can see neither the outlet nor the lamp. Sheer process of elimination is... (www.catholic365.com)

We must allow the Word of God to confront us, to disturb our security, to undermine our complacency and to overthrow our patterns of thought and behavior.

Are we like the Jews in today’s gospel who claimed they knew God yet refused to listen to Jesus and to recognize the signs he gave them that he was indeed from God?... (www.catholic365.com)
