A Daughter's Thoughts #boyslivesmatter

In the wake of the latest sex scandal, I was struck by the hypocrisy of Hollywood and by the response of Woody Allen. His throw away line about hoping this does not turn into a Witch Hunt could have been valid if not for his qualification: he hoped that a man who simply winks at a woman in the offi...

Fire can cook a meal, light a candle, or provide an atmosphere of coziness in a fireplace. Yet it can also destroy a house, a town, or a forest. Water can be used for sailing, swimming, brushing one’s teeth, or making soup; but it can also destroy a town by a disastrous flood. Most objects, events, ... (www.catholic365.com)

How The Federal Government Built a Basilica

When we hear today the term “separation of church and state” we think of it as being a precept that impedes the government on all levels from establishing a state-run church, but I found an interesting exception–kind of–in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA, where the physical building of a beautiful church ...

If lips and life do not agree, the testimony will not amount to much.

We can let Jesus “cleanse our temple”. We can let Jesus help us examine what has become a "disease" to the genuine spirit of our faith and commitment.... (www.catholic365.com)

Autumn was cold that year, frigid by all accounts. But in Chicago, I hardly noticed since I couldn’t see many signs of life on the Southside, much less the beauty of autumn that I was accustomed to from my Wisconsin upbringing. I felt cold most of the time I lived there, no matter the season.... (www.catholic365.com)

Make it a habit to tell people thank you. To express your appreciation, sincerely and without the expectation of anything in return. Truly appreciate those around you, and you'll soon find many others around you. Truly appreciate life, and you'll find that you have more of it.

Gratitude doesn’t always come easily. We all know that generosity – the giving of a gift – means thinking more about others than about yourself. It represents an act of love. But so does being thankful. To give thanks is to extend yourself. It is to remember where the gift came from.... (www.catholic365.com)
