An inner look at The Passion of the Christ (part 5 of 5)

For Catholics, Mary's participation in the Passion is significant. She wasn't just someone who witnessed it: she also took part in it. From the story of the Annunciation, she conformed to the plan of God and accepted to be the mother of the Messiah through her "do unto me according to your word." (L... (www.catholic365.com)

An irreligious society cannot endure the truth of the human condition. It prefers a lie, no matter how idiotic it may be.

Deception and treachery all around! There is a lot of discussion today in our political arena about “fake news” and “lying.” Some would even see such deception as a valid political strategy. But the Gospel today remind us that deception and failing to grasp the truth have dire consequences.... (www.catholic365.com)

Wisdom's Manifold Mystery

Chapter 3 of Ephesians strikes me as the high point from which the final chapters flow back into daily life – a less lofty place. I feel a kinship with St. Paul, who seems to find himself transported up into contemplative rapture, try as he might to take slow, careful steps up the mountain, leading ... (www.catholic365.com)

Lenten Reflections

I spent a lot of Wednesdays and Sundays in a church that really didn't recognize Lent. The pastor preached instant forgiveness and promised that God could not even remember your sins once you confessed them mentally to Him. He preached about Lent, Confession, Penance, and other Catholic practices on... (www.catholic365.com)

Prayer and Trust

The hallmark of Christian spirituality has always been prayer. A truly prayerful person whose prayer is based on Christian revelation can be said to be a holy person. The Lord prompted St. Faustina to encourage the use of a simple five-word prayer because it summarizes the whole of Christian spiritu... (www.catholic365.com)

An inner look at The Passion of the Christ (part 4 of 5)

When the condemned criminals are led to the street, Satan makes an appearance. No one seems to see him (her?). But in this scene, Mary locks her gaze on him as if playing the game of blink where whoever blinks first loses. In this particular "blinking game" Satan looks away first as if a sudden real...

As a Christian, I see the importance (and the severe need in this world) of evangelizing each person, with or without words, though with is more effective. As a youth leader, I saw just how desperate this mission is becoming.... (www.catholic365.com)

One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth.

How relevant is the Gospel message in our modern world?... (www.catholic365.com)

Death, Hope, Heaven- What Are We Here for Anyway?

In my pre-Catholic ‘pagan’ years, I worried about death. Mostly because I feared standing before a God I did not think I believed in and explaining why I had wasted knowledge, understanding, and time.

An inner look at the Passion of the Christ (part 3 of 5)

The Red Letter Edition of the King James version of the Bible prints in red all the words Jesus spoke himself. However in the movie, just before the soldiers are about to scourge him, he utters: "My heart is ready, O God; my heart is ready." This, of course, is not a "red letter" quote. It is added ...

Dance and Doctrine: The Company

The first one of these articles I wrote, I had a bustle of ideas floating in my mind of where to go with it next. That bustle took a while to settle, and I came to three main conclusions: 1) the postures of the Mass (and other Catholic liturgies and prayers); 2) the cooperation of the Faithful as On...
