Elizabeth's barrenness and advanced age--a double symbol of hopelessness--became the means by which God would announce to the world that nothing is impossible for Him.

Like the Assumption, our celebration of Mary’s Immaculate Conception tells us something very important about humanity: that is, humanity as we were meant to be “in the beginning”.

Each virtue is inextricably linked to supporting virtue(s); what an added boost! Virtues that have t... (www.catholic365.com)

Someone, probably a clever TV evangelist, coined a quirky definition for the virtue of trusting in God: he calls it the “bathtub of the soul.” There’s nothing like a bath or shower to restore a soiled body with refreshing cleanliness; yet, a sense of absolute cleanliness of one’s soul is even more r...

We have all experienced those times when someone we know had surgery, is ill or is just going through a difficult time. We think about them, probably pray for them, but then think “But What Can I Do?” It is at these times that we are called to be Christ for one another. That doesn’t mean that what w...

That’s a pretty simple and straightforward idea. Jesus in today’s Gospel uses the same metaphor in a little different way. In th... (www.catholic365.com)
