Pope Francis: A Corrupt Creation, Christian Hope, and Rebirth

On February 22, Pope Francis continued his catechesis on the importance of Christian hope in the face sin during his weekly General Audience.

If I were not a Catholic, and were looking for the true Church in the world today, I would look for the one Church which did not get along well with the world; in other words, I would look for the Church which the world hated.

Recently we celebrated the Feast of the Chair of St. Peter, which honors the papacy and St. Peter as the first bishop of Rome. St. Peter's original name was Simon. He was married with children and was living and working in Capernaum as a fisherman when Jesus called him to be one of the Twelve Apostl... (www.catholic365.com)

Marriage, Love and Shattered Glass...

"At least you didn't break the wine bottles," my wife said in an irritated tone. "Well, I guess, I did something right," I answered coyly, after shattering a glass punch bowl with the seat of our car when I slid it back to get behind the wheel.

Is it in the Spirit of the Mass to pray in the Orans position during the Our Father?

The orans posture is an ancient “prayer” posture. It is, sort of, humorously described, in an incident where Moses, prayed with arms outstretched, for the Israelites to defeat their enemies. His hands got so tired that his attendants had to hold his arms up. Because every time his arms drooped, t... (www.catholic365.com)

Taking up a cross of your own. Reflection on Luke 9:22-25

Alzheimer's Keeps Reminding Me Why I Love being Catholic

I was trying to write something but I was stuck in “neutral”. No pencil scratching, no pen sliding, no keyboard clicking. Then Marty came in and stood there just looking at me and not saying anything. I smiled at her and said, “What’s going on?”... (www.catholic365.com)

Faith and Trust

Think for a moment about the difference between these two sentences: “I believe in you” and “I believe you.” The first remark attests to my faith in you as a reliable person, whereas the second refers to my faith in the reliability of your statements or assertions.

Facts are God's arguments; we should be careful never to misunderstand or pervert them.

In this Gospel reading, the disciples have failed in ministry, and the father of the possessed boy is wondering if Jesus can grant his request. Both situations are good examples of why our own faith wavers.... (www.catholic365.com)

A few months ago, after a purse debacle, I got into a thoughtful discussion which revolved around my Holy Water bottle.
