Day 166 – Why you should care about speaking in tongues!

Chapter 14 of 1 Corinthians is one of my most favorite chapters in the Bible. On the surface, it is a boring list of rules for speaking in tongues in the infant Church. This phenomenon is not something that happens as often these days. Most of us have never heard of anyone speaking in tongues, so... (www.catholic365.com)

Are You a Potato or an Egg?

Under the fiery anguish of trial and tribulation, some people are hardened and embittered against the God who allows them to suffer, while in similar situations others are softened into a "thy-will-be-done" loving embrace of his wisdom and providence. Some become "hard-boiled eggs"; others become "b... (www.catholic365.com)

Reflections of a First Year Deacon's Wife

A year ago, I wondered what this first year as a deacon’s wife would bring. I knew it would bring changes to our lives. I knew we would both be called to do more in our parish and participate more fully. I knew we would be busy. I knew we would be more helpful to our current parish in many ways....

Day 164 – The Body of Christ

There are many divisions in the Church at Corinth. Paul started this letter speaking about how some claimed their faith was superior because of the gravitas of the person who baptized them.

Our Lady of the Rosary and Our Mission for the Salvation of the World

This year we celebrate the 100th anniversary of Our Lady of Fatima. The one request Mary had at every one of her apparitions was that we all pray the rosary. She asked that we pray the rosary every day for the conversion of sinners and for peace in the world. It is a pretty simple task and an easy r... (www.catholic365.com)

Our trouble is that we say about Christianity what we say about everything else: "What's in it for me?" In our selfishness, we think of God as we think of everyone else—in terms of what He can contribute to us personally. In other words, we want God to be our servant…… "Woe to those who call evil good!"

My tendency in reading this Gospel is to feel frustration at those who miss the miracle and seem spiritually blind. I want to ask, what is holding you back? What is the obstacle which prevents you from seeing the Savior of the world before your eyes?... (www.catholic365.com)

What History would Always be in a Fallen World, Part III: the Way of the Saint for the Peoples of God

In the first essays on the Greater Ages in Abstraction, we saw that God must have an Old Testament to prepare for the Incarnation in any fallen world, and that such OT consists of two preliminary, preeminent phases of sin and chastisement for all of humanity, then the formation of Prefiguring Covena...

Day 163 – Factions Among You

Today, Paul addresses additional problems in the Corinthian community. One of them is disunity that had grown up at services. It seems that services have become sort of a dinner party.
