Father, May They Be One, As You and I Are One

At the daily Mass celebrating the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, I was enthralled by the way Fr. Chris Kanowitz began his homily for this day. This newly ordained priest has a gift. One I have written about elsewhere.... (www.catholic365.com)

There's No Love Like Christian Love

I call myself a Christian because I believe that our faith has the purest and most authentic definition of love. Let's take a deeper look into the way that the Bible defines love. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 states, "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud....

Fat Cat Leaves a Caboodle

Even a kitty "has not a lasting city" (Heb 13:14 NAB). The wealthiest "fat cat" in your nearby upscale neighborhood will eventually have to leave all his material goods as he is stripped of everything by the grim reaper.... (www.catholic365.com)

Will the True Believer in Christ step forward

As a follow-up to my latest article “A Church in Peril” I read two news articles this morning (Saturday, Sept. 16, 2017) that connect directly to the problems which focus on discontent or worse subjection to traditional Christian values that do not appear to have relevance with too many people, many...

Revelation of the Busy Bee

I've been scared to death of bees ever since I was a little girl. I used to run around bare feet, step on them, and get stung. Awhile ago, a friend received a spiritual image of a bee that she believed was for me, but neither of us knew what it meant.... (www.catholic365.com)

Prayer and mental illness

Ever since receiving the diagnosis of mild-moderate depression and anxiety halfway through college, I’ve taken notice whenever I see articles about dealing with mental illness in a prayerful, faithful way.

Calling All Lovers

Love-communication is ineffectual if it is not heard. For those who truly "know" him, God's love-calls are heard in spite of the abounding raucous noises of worldly distractions. "His sheep follow him because they know his voice. But they...do not recognize a stranger's voice" (Jn 10:4-5).... (www.catholic365.com)

Day 135 – Help My Unbelief

Today we read some of the most simple and profound words of the Bible. They aren’t spoken by Jesus, but rather by a father out of parental concern for his son. All his life, the son has been possessed by a demon. The father has asked the disciples to cure the son and they could not. Now he has c... (www.catholic365.com)

Selling Out on the Good Fight

There is a big difference between loving and supporting people and loving and supporting their sinful lifestyles. Condemning sinful actions, behavior and lifestyles is the loving and Christian thing to do. Jesus ate and hung out with sinners, and as he did this, he transformed them. He didn’t do tha...

There is no cross to bear that Christ has not already born for us, and does not now bear with us.

The cross, the symbol of Christianity. In our Catholic faith we think more about the crucifix. It’s more than a symbol. Our Savior is on the cross. The one who emptied Himself, humbled Himself, was obedient, even to death, on a cross. For us.... (www.catholic365.com)
