I have a peace that surpasses all understanding because my mind is on Christ, (Phil. 4:7). There are moments in life when circumstances seem so overwhelming, but in Christ we are not to worry about these things because they truly are out of our control. “If even the smallest things are beyond your c...

Stay Awake, Be Ready

Another day, another news report, another attack on Christians. This time, at a sleepy little backroad Baptist Church in Texas, defenseless families - women, children and elderly - were mercilessly shot down in cold blood by a self-proclaimed atheist.... (www.catholic365.com)

32nd Sunday in Ordinary Time Year A

Are successful businessmen considered wise? What about university professors? Are they considered wise? If a person has a PhD or some Academic Doctorate in some area of specialisation, is that person considered wise? It seems as if many of us have equated wisdom with knowledge, intelligence and good...

Reiging in a Parking Lot

It is the largest and most complex crypt ever discovered; it entombed about 50 sons of the 150 children that Rameses' concubines bore him while he reigned unrivaled as the pharaoh that confronted Moses in Egypt over 3,200 years ago. It seemed almost like God's last laugh at the arrogant ruler in all... (www.catholic365.com)

Between A Rock And A Hard Place

One fine fall day I had nearly all my ducks in a row. I was preparing to go away on a trip, checking off one by one the items on my list. Then the call that changed it all: a neighboring parish was allowing the Blessed Sacrament to be exposed for periods of time with no committed adorers present. Wo... (www.catholic365.com)

From Toy Town with Love

When I was a boy I used to call people by what they did. My older brothers used to laugh when I said I had seen Mr Postman, Mr Builder, Mr Plumber or Mr Dustman. I suppose the idea came from my favourite radio program 'Toy Town'. Everybody was called by what they did. It was Mr Mayor, Mr Policeman,... (www.catholic365.com)

Be Prepared for the Most Important Day

In this week’s gospel reading at Mass, Jesus offered a parable about being prepared. He used a wedding feast to symbolize Heaven, and a bridegroom to symbolize Himself.

University researchers have found repeatedly that persons who engage in charitable works have above-average resistance to colds and flu. And expanding compassion improves one's disease immunity.

Day 186 – Beneficiaries of the Promise Made to Abraham

Today, Paul repeatedly makes the point that Abraham was justified by his faith in God and not the works he did. This is another verse that is often used by Protestants in the eternal faith v. works debate. However, that is not Paul’s purpose in focusing on this issue. He just told us in the last ...

Stop Singing Those Songs, Part 2

I recently had an article post on this site addressing what I have witnessed and realized to be a trend toward self-centeredness in Liturgy, especially in many of the more modern songs we sing. I specifically referenced a particular song, "Here I Am, Lord” that many find special.... (www.catholic365.com)

Money is not the only commodity that is fun to give. We can give time, we can give our expertise, we can give our love or simply give a smile. What does that cost? The point is, none of us can ever run out of something worthwhile to give.

The way we give and the spirit in which we give is what is important.... (www.catholic365.com)

Prediction with Conviction

St. Paul offers a wake-up call to those who are unconcerned about the reality of life after death: "If only for this life we have hope...we are to be pitied more than all men" (1 Cor 15:19).

Day 185 – Before and After Christ

In today’s reading Paul cites several Old Testament passages. These passages are often referenced by Protestants to critique Catholic teachings on the sinlessness of Mary, the role of works in salvation, grace, and free will.
