Not my will, but Yours

If you would have told me even just one year ago that my life would be today as it was I wouldn’t believe it. For even up until today, in some ways, I’m still more focused on my own plan and my own will than God’s.... (www.catholic365.com)

How to spot a false prophet - part 3

I realize that few people want to study the methods of the demonic. It might seem too dark of a place to go. However, my experience researching the devil gave me a better understanding of why Jesus warns us about false prophets (see Matthew 7: 15-20).... (www.catholic365.com)

Don't bend; don't water it down; don't try to make it logical; don't edit your own soul according to the fashion.

The Church celebrates the martyrdom of Saint John the Baptist. He died because he spoke the truth when it would have been easier to lie. How did he get so strong? How did he get to be strong enough to speak the truth, even when he knew speaking the truth might mean the end of his life?... (www.catholic365.com)

Modesty is a gift to men and women.

Modesty in dress is getting rare. Little see the value in it. Modesty does go all of the way back to Adam and Eve, but only after the fall. They try to cover themselves and God helps them later to have proper clothing before sending them from the Garden. [Genesis 3:7 & 21]... (www.catholic365.com)
