I'm hopping on the Bandwagon: Why I LOVED The Last Jedi (Spoiler Alert)

I think it’s safe to say that The Last Jedi is one of the most controversial movies that we’ve seen in a long time. People either love it or hate it, there is no in-between. Even Mark Hamill hated it at first, until he saw the film and had some time to think about it. I’m going to be really controve... (www.catholic365.com)

What are you doing, O Magi? Do you adore a little Babe, in a wretched hovel, wrapped in miserable rags? Can this Child be truly God? … Did you become foolish, O Wise Men … Yes, these Wise Men have become fools that they may be wise.

In God the Father giving us the Gift of His Son, the Father calls us to give a gift in response. But we might understandably worry, asking, “What can measure up to God’s gift? God’s gift is infinite. I cannot give an infinite gift.”... (www.catholic365.com)

We are NOT in Just Another Age of Opposition

I went up to the priest at Theology on Tap many years ago and said, Father, the mystics teach that before the end of the world there will be a minor apostasy and conditional tribulation after which will occur a glorious renewal and age of peace. He said, But there have been many apostasies. He must ... (www.catholic365.com)

Get the March for Life some big spiritual guns

The first time I attended the March for Life I felt very underused--I came all the way to stop abortion by walking? Many of us have conversion stories surrounding abortion or contraception, had taught advocacy on it, had victory stories to share against fighting the PTSD surrounding it or to share b...

Yes, it's still Christmas.

Despite all of the Christmas celebration before Christmas (during Advent), Christmas does not end on Christmas Day. Indeed, the celebration of Christmas Day itself extends for 8 days.

God-Sovereignty

There are two kinds of atheists: cogitative and ethical. The first type strives to prove his position by denying a need for any deity, while the second type cannot accept a God who sets rules of morality. The first type seeks assurance from his intellect, while the second type seeks assurance from t... (www.catholic365.com)

Junk Food or the Real Deal?

Every day I meet a sea of people who come to see me where I work. All of them looking for what they’d like to eat for dinner that night. It amazes me that despite the wonderful heritage of great food the United States has, just how many of us would rather opt for quick and easy over something that m... (www.catholic365.com)

There is no greater force against evil in the world than the love of a man and a woman in marriage.

For many of us, the past few weeks have presented opportunities to be with members of our families. No matter what difficulties might exist within our families, time spent together can help us realize one of the facts that is rejected by the world, but preached as Truth by the Church: that the famil...

Day 243 – The Rich Man and Lazarus

Today we read Jesus description of the eternal fate of one rich man and one poor man. The poor man lay at the door of the rich man and wanted only the scraps of his table. However, the rich man never showed any charity to Lazarus. When they died, Lazarus went to “Abraham’s bosom” and the rich man... (www.catholic365.com)

Epiphany: Seeking—and Finding—Truth

Epiphany. Before I converted to Christian Catholicism, I knew the noun only as AHA! Something previously opaque suddenly made clear, like when I first began to understand the astounding complexity and compensatory ability of the human heart.

It is easy to want things from the Lord and yet not want the Lord Himself, as though the gift could ever be preferable to the Giver.

Do You Have a Devotion to Our Lady of Cana

Looking toward the end of the first week of the new year, I noticed a feast day that made me take pause. It falls on January 6 and is called Our Lady of Cana. We all know about the Wedding Feast at Cana and how Jesus, at the request of His Mom, performed His first public miracle here. However, I ha... (www.catholic365.com)
