Does Relativism Make Any Sense?

Why does relativism seem to be so popular these days? Relativism can appear to create some level of peace and harmony among diverse groups. People will say things like "whatever works" and "if you believe it, then it's true for you!" Even discussing your convictions can be considered "imposing" y... (www.catholic365.com)

There's always one thing that Jesus tells me before telling me anything else, "I love you." Jesus didn't say, "Alright. These are the conditions in which you must meet before I love you." And then name off a list of conditions. There is no doubt in this world, or in the next, that Jesus loves you... (www.catholic365.com)

To Be a Saint: Imitate Christ

Waiting in the Bread Line

I was quietly watching the Consecration at Mass, my arm holding my seven-year-old as though his exhaustion was causing him to melt into the floor. Seven is so very exhausting!
