The Comfort of the Cross

Again this week, I was reminded of the greatness of God and the pure gift of grace that flows from the glimpses He gives us of His Eternal Plan. We are on the reverse side of the tapestry…all the knots and tangled colors seem meaningless so much of the time.... (www.catholic365.com)

Day 11 – More than Faith Alone

In the New Testament reading we read three passages that might sound surprising to our modern ears. Matthew relates to us the teaching of Jesus, in which Jesus clearly delineates that entrance into Heaven is not based on your faith alone, but what you DO once you’ve come to faith....

Losing with Grace

My son pouted in his booster, reluctantly putting his seatbelt on as we rolled out of the dusty parking lot from the soccer field. “Buddy,” I repeated, “you played a great game. You made a few incredible diving saves! What’s to be upset about?”... (www.catholic365.com)

Is Jesus Really Divine?

Is Jesus divine? On the other hand, was he nothing other than a mere man, perhaps a good and kind man of outstanding moral character who, rather strangely and perhaps simply for his love of people, chose the life of abject poverty in order to happily stroll about the Galilean countryside teaching ot...

The Road to Emmaus: Image of the Jewish Failure to Recognize Christ as Messiah?

Christ’s Old Body and events of the Gospel before the Resurrection filled up and fulfilled all that is of the Old Covenant, the Laws, the history. At the Cross, His Body, and thereby all things Old, were put to death and abolished.... (www.catholic365.com)

Day 10 – Three "Simple" Teachings

As is common with many things in the bible we often remember the sayings but loose some of the nuance. That is why reading scripture is a vital part of our spiritual development.

The problem with the prosperity gospel is that it makes prosperity the Gospel. God's word is flawless, however if your interpretation of the word is wrong, your application will be wrong also.

In our Gospel reading today, Jesus missions his friends: “Go into the whole world and proclaim the Gospel to every creature.” And they did that. They went to lands far and near and shared the Good News with people rich and poor, thin and fat, fair and dark skinned.... (www.catholic365.com)
