We all have many roles in our lives. We are daughters and sons, mothers and fathers, friends, employees, artists, writers, musicians. Did anyone ever consider that we are also an answered prayer?... (www.catholic365.com)

Jesus did not want to give you some of His love, He wanted to give you ALL of His love.

We think of love like other material things. We think there is only so much to go around and God needs to spread it out. However, God is not finite and love is not a material thing. Love, like God, is infinite. Indeed, God is love, so God being infinite makes love infinite as well. So, when God... (www.catholic365.com)

Too often are we rooting for the pride of a team rather than the good of the nation.

In the Gospel reading we see the teachers of the Law claiming that Jesus was a tool of the devil. It is so hard and so disappointing to see how these men, despite the miracles and all the good things Jesus was doing, could not see the finger of God working through him.... (www.catholic365.com)

Water - so simple yet so powerful

Probably the most underrated component in life is water. Any scientist will tell you that without water, human life is virtually impossible. Water is so simple and so humble, yet it packs so much power. Two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen - H2O. With this equation comes one of the most essential ... (www.catholic365.com)

I looked on the One my sins pierced and it completely changed my Confession

Generally, when I begin to pray the Act of Contrition in Confession, I close my eyes. I prefer to go behind the screen, and I like to close my eyes so I can focus on the words. As I started the prayer, I realized that the confessional I was using had a crucifix hanging on the screen at about eye l... (www.catholic365.com)

Our Lady's Purification ~ Candlemas Day

Mary was ever Virgin and she really did not have to go through the process of purification as the Angel Gabriel said, "Hail Mary, full of grace," when he first met her. (Luke) The Blessed Virgin Mary did this as an act of humility to God and He was pleased.... (www.catholic365.com)

Mercy In The City - Book Review

When preparing for Lent we often think about what we could give up for that forty days. The most popular is sweets, such as candy and cake. But have you ever thought about what you could do for Lent besides only giving up something?... (www.catholic365.com)

God Wants You to Spend More Time on Self-Care

I was recently at a seminar that pertained to keeping a balance in one’s life. The speaker revealed that the contemplative religious have longer life spans than the rest of us. The theory behind why is that they have greater balance and peace as a result of their lifestyle and personal choices to li... (www.catholic365.com)

I don't want to be an anti, against anybody. I simply want to be the builder of a great affirmation: the affirmation of God, who loves us and who wants to save us.

Then again, most of those whom Jesus chose to be His Apostles abandoned Jesus in disbelief during Holy Week, after having followed Jesus for three years, witnessing His miracles and hearing His preaching of the Gospel.... (www.catholic365.com)

Chernobyl Diaper. Parental Joy. Fatherly Purpose.

Our Amazing Gracie had a "gift." Along with every other parent of two years olds on the planet, we were eager to get her potty trained. As were the garbage men. We were losing neighbors. The ozone was depleting. Al Gore was calling. You get the idea.... (www.catholic365.com)

Today, in America, we are very divided, just like Paul saw happening in the church in Corinth almost 2,000 years ago. It wouldn’t take a lot to change the above scripture reading to be stated directly at the United States of America.... (www.catholic365.com)

The Over-Salted Generation

This generation salts their food. The phrase echoes in my mind randomly. I might be thinking of the human race, the movement of people’s spirituality, the way some people can’t eat a thing without salt… it echoes. This generation salts their food.... (www.catholic365.com)

Humor and Laughter in the Christian Life

‘Humor’ is not a word that is usually associated with Christianity. ‘Traditional’, ‘serious’, ‘somber’, ‘joyful’, ‘intellectual’, ‘religious’, ‘conservative’ and so on: all of these words and more, whether accurate or not, have been used by both Christians and non-Christians as descriptions of the ...

Those who aren't following Jesus aren't his followers. It's that simple. Followers follow…….. To follow Jesus means to follow Jesus into a society.

We’ve all seen children who “don’t hear” when their parents call to them. A summons from the next room to come to dinner isn’t always heard by a child absorbed in a game.... (www.catholic365.com)

Blessed Anacleto González Flores: Husband; Father; Martyr *

Our neighbor to the south, Mexico, has a long and fascinating history, some not so memorable. One period that was chillingly deadly and oppressive was during the tenure of Presidente Plutarco Elias Calles. Officially in office from 1924-1928, he effectively retained much influence until 1940.... (www.catholic365.com)

When handing out the host during Communion last weekend, I was overcome with emotions. This was a first for me. I have been a Eucharistic Minister for several years now.
