"The world being unworthy to receive the Son of God directly from the hands of the Father, he gave his Son to Mary for the world to receive him from her."

The Joy of Suffering

We know Jesus loves us, but will we share the Cross with Him? When we say “Jesus, I trust in you,” what are we saying? Mainly, we are surrendering everything to God: The fate of your life, your health, your mind, and your loved ones. St. Padre Pio says to “pray, hope and don’t worry. Worry is usele...

Moral Relativism Continued: The Benefits of Suffering

You may have read a recent article that I wrote about moral relativism in which I lamented the rampant spread of views that reject fixed and authoritative moral truths in favor of “individual truths” which are subject only to the subject’s own views of moral reality and moral boundaries....

The Whale's Prayer

For all we know of the world, we know so little. Whales sing, of this we are aware, but more than that is pretty much a mystery. Scientists tell us that the blue whale’s song, projecting waves of sound that touch neither the sea bottom nor the foamy surface, can extend five thousand miles through th... (www.catholic365.com)

How I learned to speak in tongues and how you can too

When I was a college seminarian, I heard of people speaking in tongues, but I knew very little about it. I thought it was pretty whacky and folks who did it a little loopy. But ten years ago, my two-week application visit with the religious order I would join a few months later changed my ideas on t... (www.catholic365.com)

God answers prayers in His time, just ask Zechariah.

As we are told in the Gospel of Luke, Zechariah was serving as the priest to burn incense in the sanctuary of the Lord. The angel then appeared to him and told him that “because your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son.” Zechariah responded in disbelief and was struck mu...

NFP Myths: Facts or Fiction?

My 90-year-old mother called around 10 this morning. She was a bit sheepish. “Are you busy today?” she asked, her usual prelude to a request for help from me. I said that I was planning to stop by at 3 p.m. to do a few things for her. She said that it needed to be sooner.... (www.catholic365.com)

The Martha Syndrome

I’m a Martha Stewart wannabe when it comes to entertaining.
