The most convincing proof for God will always remain one’s own personal encounter with him. Is God real? Does he exist? Although it’s an age-old question, it has perhaps never been more relevant than it is today, given the rise in atheism that finds its origin in 19th-century men like Ludwig Feuerb...

Do not forget this: the Lord never wearies of forgiving! We are the ones who weary of asking for forgiveness.

In today’s Gospel passage Jesus has many followers. “Many gathered together so that there was no longer room for them”. This might seem to make Jesus a popular person, successful in ministry. But within today’s Gospel passage there is a confusion of aims.... (www.catholic365.com)

Fear of the Lord

Growing up, I heard this at Mass, in the readings and psalms. The problem is that I was uneducated, and tend to be a concrete thinker, so I thought that we were supposed to fear Jesus. So I did. I was afraid of Him. I was scared to death that He was going to send me to hell. Loving Jesus was the far... (www.catholic365.com)

Sacraments are like hoses. They are the channels of the living water of God's grace. Our faith is like opening the faucet. We can open it a lot, a little, or not at all.

The feast of the Baptism of the Lord is a good day for cultivating gratitude for the graces that flow from the One who descended into the waters of the Jordan so that our sins might be washed away.... (www.catholic365.com)

To whom much is given, much more will be expected

These days, I really take this to heart. But I didn’t always. Honestly, I always used to think it was unfair. I didn’t understand why someone had to go out and do more for God just because they were given more. Then, more was given to me.... (www.catholic365.com)

Day 252 – When is a symbol not a symbol?

No culture in history has ever embraced moral relativism and survived. Our own culture, therefore, will either (1) be the first, and disprove history's clearest lesson, or (2) persist in its relativism and die, or (3) repent of its relativism and live. There is no other option.

In the culture that surrounds us, every person believes himself to be his own authority. In effect, this wide-spread belief means that no real authority exists.... (www.catholic365.com)

Self-care Isn't Selfish

I have writer’s block. So I decided to write about something that I know: writing. I love to write, it’s a form of self-care for me. It’s a fun way that I unwind, express myself, a way for me to create, an outlet, and also how I give glory to God.... (www.catholic365.com)

The more faithfully you listen to the voice within you, the better you hear what is sounding outside of you.
