Science Reveals God's Creation

We’ve all heard it: science and faith are at odds, they are antithetical to each other, and they have irreconcilable differences that will always keep them apart. At least that’s the way modern science has approached the question, especially since the Enlightenment.... (www.catholic365.com)

The one real tragedy of life

The book of Jonah is one of the shortest books in the Bible, but it speaks profoundly of situations we are seeing today. Jonah had a calling from the Lord – He was called to preach repentance. It may not be difficult to preach repentance to your friends, your co-workers, or even your neighbors. B... (www.catholic365.com)

Raising a Child of God in a Secular World

My daughter loves to read, I mean seriously loves reading. She’s a kid with her nose constantly in a book, usually belonging to a series, and a few years beyond her age. She’s nine. Sometimes I think she’s nine going on 19, but she’s still a little kid. She’ll read just about anything from fantasy t... (www.catholic365.com)

The first effect of arrogance is self-deception, as the word of God reminds us: "The pride of your heart has deceived you" (Ob 3). In the eyes of God, "arrogance is like the evil of idolatry" (1 Sm 15:23); hence, "the Lord detests all the proud of heart" (Prv 16:5).... (www.catholic365.com)

Religion, Not so Much; Relationship, Definitely.

I love contemporary Christian music and listen to it at work on a daily basis. Lately I have been hearing a short quote between songs. A quote that I would suppose the station finds to be quite inspirational. It is a quote that I find heretical and scandalous. “Religion, not so much; Relationship,... (www.catholic365.com)

The gospel is absurd and the life of Jesus is meaningless unless we believe that He lived, died, and rose again with but one purpose in mind: To transform us into a brand new creation - both here on earth as well as in heaven.

In the Gospel reading King Herod wonders who this Jesus miracle-worker is: one of the prophets come back to life, Elijah-come-back, or John the Baptist raised to life? Though Herod respected John as "an upright and holy man" and "liked listening to him, although he became very disturbed whenever he ... (www.catholic365.com)

I don't want to be an apologist anymore.

I don't think anyone says when they are kids, "I want to grow up and be an apologist". I certainly didn't. I didn't want to be one at 18 years old. I didn't want to be one at 21 years old. I didn't want to ever be one. And I still don't. However, when you date, are engaged to, and marry an anti... (www.catholic365.com)

Abortion - Human Cleansing Resembling the Third Reich!

As I sat this morning praying one hour of rosaries, as part of the “40 Days for Life” here in Pittsburgh during October, my mind went to a woman lying on an operating table and a doctor using forceps to pull a beautiful baby out of the birth canal and plunging a sharp medical instrument into the bac...

A Time to Pray, a Time to Play

The Truth about the Origins of the Roman Catholic Church

Ever since the beginning of the Reformation, other churches have tried their hardest to obfuscate the origins of the Church. That intentional confusion, never stands up under Biblical criticism. One of the truths of the Church is that we did not make it up, we did not find ourselves a messiah and th... (www.catholic365.com)

We need to remember that the first disciples were ordinary men called to an extraordinary mission. Their devotion to Jesus outweighed their fears and insecurities. As a result God change them and use them to accomplish some mind-boggling things. Why couldn't God - why wouldn't God do the same in your life?

Jesus gives us his “marching orders” in this reading from Luke. He sends the Twelve out with nothing. All they had was the present moment and the knowledge that the Kingdom of God was at hand... (www.catholic365.com)

Our love must not be a thing of words and fine talk. It must be a thing of action and sincerity

Being a “doer of the word” is also what is most on Jesus’ heart: “My mother and my brethren are those who hear the word of God and do it” (Lk 8:21).... (www.catholic365.com)
