Morning Has Broken, Christ Has Risen: A Poem

St. Anthony of the Desert stated: “Everyday I say to myself: ‘Today I will begin.’” Christ in so many ways expresses the same idea and desire for us. Throughout scripture we recognize morning as a significant reference point for time, instruction, ritualistic and ceremonial acts, etc.... (www.catholic365.com)

Faith is not about everything turning out okay, faith is about being okay no matter how things turn out.

Fear is the opposite of faith. When we have fear, we're blind to the wonderfulness of the Lord, and like the two men in the Gospel reading, we need to be healed.... (www.catholic365.com)

It is easy to become possessive of things that we think of as our own. “It’s mine” or “That’s mine” are all too familiar phrases. But is it really ours? Of course we say that we “own” things, but shouldn’t we remember who has given us life and all that we have in that life? God, our loving Father, h... (www.catholic365.com)

Taking Tobit's Advice

As Catholics, we sometimes feel like strangers in a strange land. The absolute truths we hold, the universal principles that guide our conduct, and the unchanging ways we worship set us apart from the broader culture. Sometimes, they even bring us into conflict with it. Although we strive to be fait... (www.catholic365.com)

The Work of Advent-More Challenging in 2016

On Gaudete Sunday, the liturgical colors lightened from the deep purple of Advent to a lovely rose, signaling the coming exultation of this season of silence, of waiting and therefore of patience. Already in the third week of Advent, we have heard repeated variations on the theme of awakening from J... (www.catholic365.com)

The freer a man is to himself the greater slave he often is to the whims of others.

This Gospel is short, but profoundly important: Jesus said: Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light. (Mt. 11:... (www.catholic365.com)

Mary's Perfect Submission to God's Will

Christians talk a lot about God’s will. We seek to know God’s will, we try to do God’s will, and many of our prayers conclude with, “Thy will be done.”... (www.catholic365.com)

She Treasured These Things in Her Heart

Protestantism, Enlightenment and More as Possible Prophecy: the Trumpets of Apocalypse

God throws nobody away. God loves everyone, seeks out everyone, everybody -- one by one.

What does it mean to be a "lost sheep?" In Jesus' context, he was most likely talking about people who have forgotten about God or who have lost their faith. Most certainly, he was also referring to the marginalized in our community, those who are suffering, the poor, the downtrodden--the ignored ... (www.catholic365.com)

Our lives are not perfect. In fact, they often contain heartache and sorrow. And, of course, our individual problems pale in comparison to the suffering of the world itself.
