God reprimanded Job (Job 42:3) because his complaints in his suffering were, as he said, "words without knowledge." The Lord asked him if he intended to let his unthinking questions lead him to deny God's loving providence.... (www.catholic365.com)

Day 257 – The Shroud

First, it is women who first find the tomb empty, learn of the resurrection and deliver the news to the Apostles. This is an important fact, in part because in the first-century women had no legal standing in society. In fact, they were not allowed to give testimony on important events. So the fa...

How I Got My Prayer Life in Order

This is a busy time that we live in. Let me just give you a glimpse into my busy life. Everyday I wake up at 5:00 AM to do what we call PT in the Army. After that I have to rush home to take my wife to class and then to shower, get dressed and get ready for work. That puts us at around 8:00 AM. At... (www.catholic365.com)

The Kingdom of God through the Initiation Sacraments

As I, Susan, spoke to the Protestant Minister the other day about purgatory, it became abundantly clear to me that there is a gaping hole in the lives of some Christians because of the lack of belief in the full Sacramental Life.... (www.catholic365.com)

Dead men still speak, breathe, and testify

Do you believe the Bible? I know this sounds like a trivial and generic question, but it’s one of the most important questions you can answer. If you believe the Bible then you have to believe Hebrews 13:8 that says “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” If you believe Hebrews 13... (www.catholic365.com)

In the midst of sufferings, all but the most God-trusting souls tend to ask two questions: 1) Why this suffering, or at least why now, Lord?; and 2) How long will this darkness last, Lord?... (www.catholic365.com)

Day 256 – The Works of the Good Thief

Today we read Luke’s account of the Crucifixion. We see the scene of Jesus being crucified with two criminals, one on his right and one on his left. Often when discussing the nature of Salvation and the role of good works the “good thief” is used as an example of salvation without works. However,... (www.catholic365.com)

Commandment #1: Believe in yourself. Commandment #2: Get over yourself.

Like Peter in this gospel reading, we are called by name when God speaks to us. God knows us better than we know ourselves, much like our parents who know us and call us by name (or names). Children often try to deceive themselves and others about what they’ve done, and who they are. But parents, wh... (www.catholic365.com)

Purgatory - The Path of Perfection

This other morning I had a discussion online with a Protestant Minister. She identified herself as a Priest, and she was admonishing my friend for praying for his deceased mother (on the Anniversary of his mother’s death, I might add). She said his mother was dead and prayers won’t help her. My h... (www.catholic365.com)

Paul's Surprising Teaching About Marriage

The second reading at Mass this weekend, from St. Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians, contains a very odd verse. Paul wrote, “Let those having wives act as not having them.”... (www.catholic365.com)

Commitment to Surrender

Peter's advice has an eschatological ring to it: "Rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed...Those who suffer according to God's will should commit themselves to their faithful Creator and continue to do good." (i Pet. 4:19).... (www.catholic365.com)

Day 255 – Friends in Sin

Today we read Luke’s account of the trial of Jesus. Most of us know the basic outline of the story where the Sanhedrin brings Jesus before Pilate who reviews the case. He finds the Lord not guilty and sends him to Herod.... (www.catholic365.com)

Hating Libby Lawrence wasn’t just self-defense, it was an undiluted, adrenaline high with a clean conscience. In the fifth-grade, Libby personified a “mean-girl” before the term had become popular. From the first day when she ordered me with a sneer and a glare to sit on the left of our shared desk,... (www.catholic365.com)

Catholic Evangelization: Listen to an Atheist

There’s been a big emphasis lately on Catholic evangelization. However, telling other people about our faith in Christ is not something most American Catholics feel comfortable doing. So, despite the recent emphasis, the vast majority of us choose to keep silent and leave that job to the professiona... (www.catholic365.com)
