Did the Risen Christ Appear to his Mother?

The Resurrection was not witnessed by anyone. Jesus did not gloat at his detractors by showing the glory of his Resurrection with blinding rays of light. Instead, as silent as he was born from a womb in the obscure town of Bethlehem, so was he “born” silently from a tomb as to humbly not make a big ... (www.catholic365.com)

The Resurrection is the Heart of Christianity

This Sunday we celebrate Easter. Alleluia! Christ is risen! Alleluia! I am amazed by people who truly do NOT believe Jesus rose from the dead, and yet are still convinced Christianity is a wonderful religion.

Reliability and Trust

A seven-year-old lad was excited about being on a fishing trip with his father. At what seemed like a good area in the lake for fishing, the man stopped the boat and told his son to throw the anchor overboard. The boy promptly obeyed, only to see the anchor, along with its attached rope, sink out of... (www.catholic365.com)

What Did Jesus Accomplish on the Cross?

One question that I've thought about quite a bit over the years is this: Why did Jesus die on the Cross? I grew up in a good Catholic family and have long known what Jesus did for our salvation, but the question of why his death was part of God's plan is a bit trickier, isn't it?...
