Let the storm rage and the sky darken - not for that shall we be dismayed. If we trust as we should in Mary, we shall recognize in her, the Virgin Most Powerful ‘who with virginal foot did crush the head of the serpent'.

"…. let it be done to me as you have said." In Faith, "Mary follows even without understanding" unlike us who insist on understanding before we follow. Faith is not 100% certainty but 100% commitment. These are the words of a good priest in one of our parish recollections.... (www.catholic365.com)

Westley, Buttercup and Freedom in Marriage

The Princess Bride was on TV the other night. No matter what else is happening in my life, if I’m flipping channels and I come across The Princess Bride, that’s as far as I’m going. I have the movie on DVD—I could watch it any time I want—without commercials. But, if I see it on TV, I’m watching ... (www.catholic365.com)

Meditation on the Nativity

It was late when they reached Bethlehem. Many from the caravan quickly scattered to find room in the inns or to set up their own tents for shelter. Joseph was weary from the long trip, and his concern for Mary. She smiled at him through her exhaustion and distress, knowing her time was near.... (www.catholic365.com)

Saying "Yes" to God's "No"

My “Type A” personality makes it difficult to let go of control, to go with the flow, or to be flexible. I like things to be a certian way, and when plans change, it irks me. In my group of friends and even among my family, I’m always the one with plans that are set months in advance... (www.catholic365.com)

Christmas, Santa and a Boy's Dying Wish...

I'll admit it. I'm a sucker for Christmas stories. Every year, there's a heartwarming story or song that really touches my heart (to the point where I find myself quietly sobbing and people coming up to me to see if I'm alright). The Christmas Shoes by NewSong comes to mind.... (www.catholic365.com)

In Defense of Santa

Every Christmas there’s a spate of articles about Santa and Christmas. Many of the devout families I know have chosen to avoid the tradition of Santa for a variety of good reasons. After all, the juggling of the glass balls of parenting makes for difficult, sensitive work, and each must choose ac... (www.catholic365.com)

What Killers and Sinners Suffer--repentant vs not

I attended a movie where there are $6.50 specials. In the middle of the movie, the lights of the projector went out though the sound kept playing. As we went to the manager, we were told the projector bulb would need four hours to replace and thus we should just get a refund; vouchers for a regular ... (www.catholic365.com)

The Sign of Peace?

The irony is not lost on me that very often the Sign of Peace invokes a chaotic scene during the Mass. A virtual love-fest breaks out as each member of the congregation must shake hands or hug anyone else within their immediate vicinity.... (www.catholic365.com)

Sports as Ecclesiological Analogy

The faithful need look no further than to the Pauline epistles if they wished to find some of the earliest examples and uses of analogy or metaphor within the Christian tradition. St. Paul often wrote, and encouraged in faith, the congregants of the various churches he established by the use of athl... (www.catholic365.com)
