The Labor of Obedience

Obedience: For many years, the word was a lightning rod to me. The concept connoted all that I disliked about being female: Powerless, submissive, conformance, passivity and the like. But then I became a Christian Catholic and a few years later, an Oblate of St. Benedict.... (www.catholic365.com)

Witness to the Church

Recently, at Bible Study we read John chapter 5. When reading this Chapter most people instinctively focus on Jesus healing of a man on the Sabbath. It’s a miracle so it naturally draws our attention and we know that “working” of the Sabbath is one of the things that inflame the Pharisees and turn... (www.catholic365.com)

The Font in the Fields: The Liturgical Movement Alive in Rural Kentucky

Often times, I’ve found that people are surprised to discover that summertime for a seminarian isn’t two and a half months of vacation. Most of the time, we are assigned to parishes, hospitals, or other sites for ministry internships, which take up the majority of, and sometimes all of, our summer b... (www.catholic365.com)

One of the greatest discoveries a man makes, one of his great surprises, is to find he can do what he was afraid he couldn't do.

Peter is a professional fisherman, and a tired one at that, and his first response to the Lord shows what he thinks will happen; nevertheless, he puts himself and his crew into the Lord's hands and very simply does what the Lord asks him to do.... (www.catholic365.com)

Catholics Could Change the World, if They Would Only be Truly Catholic

If we as Catholics would actually start living our Faith genuinely, trusting the Church as the representation of law and the guidance of Christ here on Earth, and made ourselves subordinate fully and wholly to God, we could change the world, overnight!... (www.catholic365.com)

Family Is the Heart of Vocation

The family is the very core of Creation. In the beginning, the LORD, Our Father, spoke the words of creation, which were sent forth by the Spirit, the Holy Spouse, in order to bring forth life. All creatures were brought forth into families--male and female together for the propagation and rearing... (www.catholic365.com)

JPII and Chick Flicks

The man who would become Pope St. John Paul II, Fr. Karol Wojtyla, devoted much of his pastoral work as a priest to the study of love between man and woman.

Caught Not Simply Taught, Then Swept Into The Heart of The Church

Christianity is above all an experiential faith, a living relationship with Christ. A Christian is not a person who merely accumulates intellectual knowledge about God nor simply fulfills tradition and the letter of the law. Pope Benedict and Pope Francis have repeatedly emphasized that Christianity... (www.catholic365.com)

Put Your Nose into Trouble

Lord of the Rings. What child, adult, elder, or anyone else has not thoroughly enjoyed those movies and books? I’ve watched them time and time again, almost obsessively at some points. However, for the first time, I truly watched it with the intent of riddling out what Tolkien might have been trying... (www.catholic365.com)

Everyone Follows a Pope

In a previous post I answered the question, "Do you follow the Pope or Jesus?" If you haven't read it yet, I would suggest taking a moment to do so now so that there is no confusion moving forward; but for those of you who don't have the time, here's a brief summary. When asked, "Do you follow the p... (www.catholic365.com)

Does Loyalty Exist Anywhere Anymore?

I remember some years ago reading a story about a young man who, when he was still in his teen years, had a bed-wetting issue. In an attempt to break him of the habit, his frustrated parents took his wet bedsheets, hung them in the front yard, and made him sit among them with a sign which stated “I ... (www.catholic365.com)

Leave it all behind, even if only for a minute.

We can’t do that, can we? Just up and leave everything: fishing nets, homes, family, friends, career, hobbies, interests, concerns, fears, hopes, preoccupations, obsessions, weaknesses of body, soul and spirit, habits, thoughts, emotions, medical conditions, mistakes, regrets, resentments, grudges, ...

The Sin and Virtue Series, #6 of 8

Today's paired topics are Avarice and Charity. You may have noticed in the table that footnote 3 lists two other words – Greed and Cupidity. Greed is a word we understand fairly well. We recognize it as an intense desire for money, or power, or food, or possessions.... (www.catholic365.com)

A Girl Named Ava Made Her First Communion This Morning.

While that might seem to be a common enough occurrence, there were a few variables that set this occasion apart. She was a bit older than the usual age of seven for this Sacrament—she looked to be around thirteen years old. It’s also the end of summer and a normal, ordinary, run-of-the-mill weekday,...

Those Huddled Masses

We are in a time of crisis: Thousands of refugees, most of them from Syria, nearly all of them Muslims are fleeing the fighting going on there. They are seeking asylum. They are entering several European countries, and a good number of them want to come to the United States. But there are many Ameri... (www.catholic365.com)
