Hard Teachings Help Us Cultivate Discipline

In the Bread of Life Discourse (John, Ch. 6) Jesus tells the crowd at Capernaum several times that He is the True Bread from heaven and that whoever eats His flesh and drinks His blood will live forever. Many in the crowd respond by asking, “[t] his saying is hard; who can accept it?" (John 6:60).... (www.catholic365.com)

The two pillars of 'political correctness' are, a) willful ignorance, and b) a steadfast refusal to face the truth.

Jesus is making a strong point here. He seems to be trying to get the crowds to realize that something is happening NOW and they just don’t seem to get it.... (www.catholic365.com)

I'm for truth, no matter who tells it. I'm for justice, no matter who it's for or against.

In today’s chaotic and charged public dialogue, we often retreat to those safe groups or cable networks where all my assumptions are affirmed and reinforced. We can’t seem to tolerate others who might challenge our assumptions or biases. Rather than engage in civic and civil conversations, we berate... (www.catholic365.com)

Dear Faithful, Don't Pray To Santa Muerte: The Fake "Saint" Of Death

Pictured similarly to our Blessed Mother, the Most Holy Virgin Mary, because of the veil, Santa Muerte is a mockery and the total opposite. Literally translated as “Saint Death” or more commonly known as “our Lady of the Holy Death”, this fake “saint” has been dangerously accredited to demonic activ... (www.catholic365.com)

When the Journey Becomes Tiring, Carry On

Over three years ago, I filled a hiking backpack, flew to Europe, and walked El Camino de Santiago. The first day on the Camino, though difficult, was exhilarating. We walked from the beautiful little town of Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port in France, over the Pyrenees, and into Roncesvalles in Spain.... (www.catholic365.com)

The Untold Story of the Rich Man

I recently used the Rich Man story from the Bible in my 3rd grade Religious Education class. As with most (both children and adults), the presumption is that the rich man goes away sad and does not choose to follow Christ. But is that really what happens?... (www.catholic365.com)

The Longing of Belonging

Psychologists say that this need to belong has two aspects: 1) frequent, positive interactions with the same persons, and 2) a framework of long-term, stable caring and concern. "A faithful friend is a life-saving remedy," says the proverbialist (Sir 6:16, NAB).... (www.catholic365.com)
