We might want to reflect at Mass on our national commemoration of the September 11 anniversary of terrorist attacks against our country. It's astonishing that religion was a driving force in the hearts of those who committed mass murder. We ask ourselves how the murder of innocent people could be ca... (www.catholic365.com)

Are You Seeking Citizenship in the Kingdom?

Day 129 – Jesus' "Brothers and Sisters"

Jesus had no blood brothers or sisters. But wait, doesn’t it says right there in Mark 6, which we read today: Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon, and are not his sisters here with us?” And they took offense * at him....

A Church in Peril

As a Roman Catholic deacon since 1974, adhering strictly to the teaching of the Roman Catholic Church, and now writing almost exclusively about issues that are in communion with our doctrines, I must respond to an article I read in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on Saturday, September 9, 2017, regardin...

People are made for happiness. Rightly you thirst for happiness. Christ has the answer to this desire. But he asks you to trust Him.

Why are some people so joyful? And why is it so important that we go to church to express our joy? The Psalm today calls us to “sing joyfully to the Lord.”... (www.catholic365.com)

Day 128 – The Woman with the Hemorrhage

We see Jesus called to the house of a synagogue official to heal his sick daughter. Huge crowds press in upon him as he travels. One person, a woman with a hemorrhage, knows that if she can just touch Jesus’ cloak she will be healed. She fights her way through the crowd and touches the hem of his... (www.catholic365.com)

Our ‘Separated Brethren' Are Loved by God

In recent months, I’ve discussed many faith issues, and presented the Catholic view on these topics. Of course, that only makes sense, since this essay series is titled “The Merry Catholic.” For example, a few weeks ago, the subject was Catholic apologetics, which is defined as offering a defense an...

Let the storm rage and the sky darken - not for that shall we be dismayed. If we trust as we should in Mary, we shall recognize in her, the Virgin Most Powerful ‘who with virginal foot did crush the head of the serpent'.

Day 127 – the Gerasene Demoniac

Today we read about Jesus healing a man possessed by demons. In fact, so many demons possess the man that when Jesus asks their name they refer to themselves as “legion”, a reference to a Roman legion consisting of at least 1,000 men (and at times up to 6,000).... (www.catholic365.com)
