Boundaries in Christianity

My whole life I have more or less been a people pleaser. I would prefer to agree to save from having an argument.. In the past, I would apologize regardless if I actually did something wrong or not. The point was to keep peace at all costs.... (www.catholic365.com)

There is more evidence that Jesus rose from the dead than there is that Julius Caesar ever lived or that Alexander the Great died at the age of thirty-three.

This first reading from Mass talks about the very reason why we all choose to practice our faith. Our faith hinges upon the resurrection of Christ, which signifies his triumph over the power of death. It is a strong reminder of God's immense love for us and also his immense power....

The Greatest of These

Nearly every city has one or more sections of town with big, ridiculously expensive houses. They usually have many bedrooms and several baths.

When God Says No

There have been many time I’ve both heard and said, “all in God’s time.” We often wait (patiently or not) for God to answer our prayers, but what if He already answered? What if we’re waiting on something that’s already happened? What if His answer is no? Can we recognize and accept that? Can we mov... (www.catholic365.com)

Can we trust God unconditionally no matter what?

Mary was the first person to take the "way" to enter the Kingdom of God that Christ opened, a way which is accessible to the humble

In the Letter to the Hebrews, St. Paul emphasizes three strong words, he says that Jesus "learned, obeyed and suffered". It’s the opposite of what had happened to our father Adam, who did not want to learn what the Lord commanded, who did not want to suffer, or obey.... (www.catholic365.com)

The wonderful world of levitating, dragon killing, head carrying saints

It's amazing the cool, unique, and just plain crazy stories you can find about the saints if you take some time to delve into our brothers and sisters of the faith.

Suffering and Hope

Those verses are important. God wants us to have hope even in the midst of storms, even when going through suffering. He does not want us to give up, think that what we are going through is too hard, or that we are not able to get through things. He wants to grow, to become stronger, to find Him in ...

How I Learned To Pray!

I attended a lesson at church on how to pray. I took notes. I learned good ways to pray. I learned how prayer can help me get closer to God. But I wondered how easy it is for most people to just jump in and pray these different ways?... (www.catholic365.com)

Since we're home schoolers, parent-teacher conferences generally look like me getting pulled aside by a fellow parent so they can inform me of some disappointing situation my offspring has engaged in or facilitated....

A Master Waiting on the Servant? Preposterous

In this week’s gospel reading, Jesus told an interesting little parable. He compared being a disciple with being a servant on a big estate. At the end of a hot day, the servant came in from working in the fields, and he did not expect the master of the estate to invite him to dinner.... (www.catholic365.com)

Christ died not so that you could freely go on sinning, and therefore, continue dying; He died rather so that you could freely grow in obedience, and therefore, start living.

For God so loved the world He gave His only son. There is no greater love. He didn’t come to take away our suffering or challenges, He came to share in them with us, to be fully with us in life’s difficult moments.... (www.catholic365.com)

How Much Does God Love Mary?

I was attending First Friday Mass with my husband and was happy to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation prior to Mass. Some people find sitting in a confessional to be daunting and humiliating.
