It had been a long day and Father Ignatius had traveled to the city and driven back all on the same day; something which he hated to do, especially when he had to navigate his way through heavy city traffic. He was a little tired so he settled down in his armchair next to the fireplace and put on hi... (www.catholic365.com)

The Politics of Corn, Codfish, and Cranberries

History is replete with events spawned by the ravaging effects of anger, in the form of economic retailiation, violent retribution, and even internecine wars. Less frequently, efforts to subdue the anger of a protagonist have been fortuitous, as "wise men turn away anger" (Prv 29:8).... (www.catholic365.com)

However once I started reading the early church fathers something hit me. These sound a lot like Catholic teachings... (www.catholic365.com)

Patience, Where Are You?

O Patience, where are you? I am trying desperately to find you as this dear little one settles down for a nap, but his incessant whimpering for ‘mama’ is difficult to ignore.

The Dove with the Olive Branch and the Peace that Our Lady will Bring

The Christ draws profound parallels between Noah’s day and that of the end of the world. Too, St. Peter compares the beginning world destroyed by water with the final world destroyed by fire, effectively indicative of the Flood and the end-of-the-world fire at the Second Coming....

You will never have time for prayer; you must make time.

Most of us Catholics in the Western world live very spoiled lives. We consider the making of a Holy Hour a great sacrifice on our part. The Gospel accounts of Jesus' life show how common it was for Jesus to spend an entire night "in vigil".... (www.catholic365.com)

The 4 words for a happy marriage

In Schoenstatt’s Movement, of which I’m a member, we talk about the four words that help us to have a happy marriage.

Day 130 – Feeding the 5,000 – Redux

Today we read Mark’s account of the feeding of the 5,000. There are only two miracles that are recounted in all four (4) Gospels: The Resurrection and the feeding of the 5,000. Seems to me that that fact alone might imply some major significance to the event!... (www.catholic365.com)
