Day 53 – The Crown of Thorns

The crowning of thorns marks fulfillment of God’s promise to Abraham. Recall that Abraham was asked to offer his first born son as a sacrifice to God. Jesus is the first born son of Mary and the Son of God whom sacrifices himself to the Father.... (www.catholic365.com)

Love leaves a legacy. How you treated other people, not your wealth or accomplishments, is the most enduring impact you can leave on earth.

But love my enemies?? Love the terrorist, the rapist, the killer, the abuser? Love the corporate plunderer, the arrogant politician, the lazy, the entitled, the insufferable, and the list goes on and on?... (www.catholic365.com)

Anyone for Tennis?

I was incensed when an American commentator said the English are not really interested in tennis, they're just mad on Wimbledon. But when I thought about it, I had to admit that there was more than a grain of truth in what she said. I could name at least half a dozen people who plan their holidays t... (www.catholic365.com)

Two Faces Of Eve

All have two faces: the veiled illusionary face of our sinful lives; and the unveiled joyful face when sin has been forsaken. Decades of clothing the veiled self with decadent pleasures with little true substance hide the image of following the will of the One who creates man to be his sons and dau... (www.catholic365.com)

Between Augustine and Fundamentalism on the 1,000 Years: a Balance with Private Revelation?

In light of this modern spiritual darkness over much of what was Christendom in earlier times, it is so stupid to say the dragon is chained just because the Eucharist is on earth. Jesus reigns in Apocalypse 12 from heaven, but the dragon is not chained.... (www.catholic365.com)

Day 52 – Barabbas

Who is the man that is spared in place of Jesus? Little is known about him for certain. Some authorities say he is a thief, others a murderer. Some suggest that he was a political revolutionary that killed a Roman soldier in a riot. Sometimes he is called “Jesus Barabbas”, sometimes just “Bara... (www.catholic365.com)

Return to Sender

When I was ready to make my first foray into the "world" (off to college!), I received a very precious gift. The giver had put a lot of time, energy, and talent into the gift. They were not expecting anything in return. The present was simply to be a blessing to my life.... (www.catholic365.com)

Hate, it has caused a lot of problems in the world, but has not solved one yet.

These Scripture readings tell us that to be a follower of Christ entails challenges such as avoiding evil and loving one's enemies. One does not have to look so far to come across one's "enemies": they could be among family, among friends and co-workers. To love one's enemies is to extend compassion... (www.catholic365.com)

The Best Metabolism Boost... For Your Soul

When I first wake up in the morning, I stretch, sometimes for longer than I have time for but it feels good. It’s also healthy; it gets your joints moving and your blood flowing. It’s a great metabolism boost. I may not pop out of bed immediately after, but it gets me moving better than if I hadn’t.... (www.catholic365.com)

A Vestige of Turmoil in a World Without God

We are living in a time where lack of faith in God, mistrust in government, and disillusionment with each other has become a way of life for too many people, whose belief in something positive has blossomed into doubt and produced far too much anxiety and depression... (www.catholic365.com)

Day 51 – Caiaphas

Today we read about the arrest and trial of Jesus. Many false witnesses are produced but none can produce evidence sufficient to convict Jesus. Despite the many accusations Jesus remains silent. Eventually he is accused of saying he will tear down the temple and rebuild it in three days. Still h... (www.catholic365.com)

How to love the sinner

There's a saying that says, "Love the sinner, hate the sin," but in today's world we often see the acceptance of sin and we call people Pharisees if they believe the law should be followed. But there is a distinction between people who have love in their hearts and follow the law, and those who onl... (www.catholic365.com)

Day 50 – The Last Supper and the Agony in the Garden

Today we read what is arguably the climax to the story of salvation history. The Passover is at hand and Jesus shares a Passover meal with his Apostles. Remember, the Passover is when, at the beginning of the exodus from Egypt, the angel of death passed over the houses of the Hebrews.... (www.catholic365.com)
