God So Loved The World

Lent is one of my favorite parts of the Liturgical year for with it comes a sense of renewal and spiritual growth. On the third Sunday of Lent our church choir that I sing in sang one of my favorite anthems that I learned back when I was in High School. “God So Loved The World” As we sang this so...

Three Things Christians Can't Say

Recently I have read several articles on social media declaring what Christians should and should not say. They are well meaning articles, rooted in truth and often written by Christians themselves. They are none-the-less concerning. It seems to me that we have shifted from what Christians can and c... (www.catholic365.com)

Endurance and Trust

Endurance is simply continued exertion; it implies not just strength but sustained strength, especially for periods of extended hardship, such as prolonged illness, perhaps along with intractable pain, or prolonged unemployment, or enduring years without fulfillment, or frustration in a mediocre or ...

An inner look at the Passion of the Christ (part 2 of 5)

There is a scene when Jesus is being led away by the guards of the High Priest. They pass a bridge and because of the intensity of the blows, Jesus falls off the bridge only to be dangling by the chains that secure him. In the few moments that he is dangling, he sees Judas and they stare at each oth... (www.catholic365.com)

What Happens in an Abortion--a Clinical Worker Speaks

Last week, I was invited to a talk, sponsored by a Rutgers Medical School student group Vita et Veritas, on conscience rights. Their existence, like other pro-life student groups such as other big universities, is always a marvel to me. How I wished I had that faith and formation when I was younger.... (www.catholic365.com)

An inner look at The Passion of the Christ (part 1 of 5)

We have probably watched The Passion of the Christ at least once. For others, it is more than once. And yet for others, it is an annual Lenten "ritual". For someone who is familiar with the Gospels, we find some scenes in the film that aren’t found in Scripture. The first knee-jerk reaction is to cr... (www.catholic365.com)

A Season for Healing

I am envious of the black bear that finds a warm dark cave at autumns end. He nestles in for the deep sleep that envelops him until the scent of spring flowers awakens him from his lengthy slumber. As the wintery temperatures continue to plummet I feel the cold permeate my bones, and I long for the ... (www.catholic365.com)

The Powers of Darkness

I really don’t think that most of us have any idea how much spiritual warfare and demonic evilness is affecting our lives, and the state of our souls. It is hard to understand how something we cannot see or be physically aware of, can affect us in such extraordinary and destructive ways. Many of us... (www.catholic365.com)

If a Christian is not having tribulation in the world, there's something wrong!

Why did Jesus focus on this man amidst a crowd of many who were ill, blind, lame, and crippled? Maybe he'd been sick the longest. Maybe he had more love for God than the others did. Maybe the Father had a special plan for his life. We don't know, but whatever the reason, Jesus recognized his need an... (www.catholic365.com)

This year I learned that Lent doesn't have to be depressing

We had a mild winter in Chicago this year and other than the fact that I had pneumonia, things have been going pretty well. As Lent approached, I had some great expectations, but then I just wasn’t into it. I’m sure most of you can relate to that!... (www.catholic365.com)

Persistence and Trust

Emblazoned on the tombstone of a hypochondriac was his preplanned epitaph: “I TOLD YOU I WAS SICK!” The wit of the inscription was the fact that the poor man’s persistence in his health complaints was extended beyond his demise.

The Human Feelings of Jesus our Lord

The Holy Spirit can do wondrous things and sometimes when we least expect it. It was the week leading up to Annual Leave for 7 days; a break from work and from a ridiculously busy schedule, so hectic that I felt as if I was being run ragged.... (www.catholic365.com)
