What the World Has Forgotten

We spend plenty of money on textbooks, activities, courses and other things that we believe would make us "successful", all for temporary gratification. We go out of our way to spend on mere keys that might open doors, yet when it comes to serving God, the slightest thing makes people moan.... (www.catholic365.com)

Question; Sacred Tradition

As Catholics we do not hold to the Protestant reformation idea of Sola Scriptura (The Bible Alone), we believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God and as such should be revered, respected, obeyed, thoroughly studied, and implemented in our daily lives. But we don't look to the Bible as the so... (www.catholic365.com)

When You're Down, You're Not Out

As a New England Patriots fan it is no secret what I was doing at 6:30 pm on Sunday, February 5th. Needless to say I was in disbelief and shocked at what was the greatest comeback in Super Bowl history. If for some reason you are not a football fan, or have been living under a rock for the past few ... (www.catholic365.com)

What is it you want from me, Lord?

Living a Christian life can be hard. It can cause us to wonder. Wonder if we want to be all-in, just do enough to get by, or disregard the whole Christian way of life. Yes, God wants our love, but more-so He wants to love us. He wants to love us fully. And love is only complete when it is met w... (www.catholic365.com)

If you think of this world as a place intended simply for our happiness, you find it quite intolerable: think of it as a place of training and correction and it's not so bad.

First, let’s ask the question “What does ‘refining’ mean”? The Old Testament prophets often use words of judgement against God’s people. When we hear them, it sometimes sounds as if God’s aim is not to help his people but to smash and destroy them!... (www.catholic365.com)

Faith is a two-way street

The third Sunday in Ordinary Time brought us once again to Matthew’s account of Jesus’ call of the first disciples. When I hear Jesus’ words “Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men,” I cannot help but be reminded of the old adage that weighs the relative benefits of giving a man a singl...

The Apocalypse is Ultimately a Book of Hope, Yes, BUT....

Yes, in the end, God will triumph over sin and death at the end of time. I would like, however, to comment, that I think there are two of the best possible layers of apocalypse that have fallen by the wayside in modern Catholicism: spiritual historicism and idealism... (www.catholic365.com)

The Importance Of Community

God, He's pretty good right? He created lots of people. He intended for those people to meet, have conversations, and not be alone. That is the purpose of community.... (www.catholic365.com)

Question: Why So Many Divisions in Christianity?

Let's take a look at the divisions that have appeared in the Body of Christ over the centuries. This is by no means an exhaustive list, but more of just a background to our current tens of thousands of Christian denominations.... (www.catholic365.com)

"I am the Bread of Life" - Jesus

"I am the Bread of Life". This seems like an odd expression. Why would God consider Himself food? Well, we need food for our life. But, Jesus is not talking about mortal life, He is talking about eternal life.... (www.catholic365.com)

Why is discipline important? Discipline teaches us to operate by principle rather than desire. Saying no to our impulses puts us in control of our appetites rather than vice versa.

Who among us likes discipline? This is not the discipline of our earthly father, but that of our heavenly Father. When we know we need to change, there's an internal stress within our hearts, the old person trying to let the new person come out.... (www.catholic365.com)

Wresting Opportunity Out of the Jaws of Crisis

The two words feel connected. Crisis and Opportunity. Despite the long-term error inherent in the claim that the Chinese character for crisis signifies opportunity, our own experience can reveal the law of contradiction expressed in the paradoxical relationship.... (www.catholic365.com)

Something Different for Lent

Every year, we focus on what we’ll give up for Lent—an admirable practice. Mastering passions by denying ourselves is a good thing—but the ultimate goal of penance (of any spiritual practice) is to draw us closer to God.... (www.catholic365.com)

Catholicism As An Ethnicity

Growing up as a Catholic teenager in today's society, I have noticed a somewhat disturbing trend among my peers. It takes "cafeteria Catholicism" to a whole new level and can be even more damaging to how the Church is represented: the identification of their Catholic faith as part of their ethnicity...

Sanctify yourself and you will sanctify society.

Even though at times we may feel alone in running the narrow road that Jesus has opened before us, the truth is that we have a “great” cloud of saints surrounding us—that means in front, behind, above, and on both sides of us. We are running a race in an arena that is packed with fans on every side,... (www.catholic365.com)

The Skinny on Modest Wedding Gowns: 5 Ways to Achieve Modesty for the Matrimonial Mass

In 2006, it was hard for me to find any gown with sleeves. Everything was strapless. When Kate Middleton married in 2011, her wedding gown sleeves showed the world that modesty is regal, elegant, and breathtakingly beautiful. Yeah, that lasted about two years before bodice type gowns with sleeves be... (www.catholic365.com)

Can we make room for God in our daily lives?

The Church has Caught Nothing All Night: It'll probably stay that way till Chastisement

It is in the night when persons live totally according to the fall. And when you do not accept any Divine Truth, you are living according to the fall. When you accept no Divine Revelation and, worse, not even Natural Truth, or Reason, you are completely blind spiritually. This is the Euro Civs world... (www.catholic365.com)
