In my Christian walk I’ve noticed something very specific about God: He doesn’t like part time Christianity. He fully expects us to be committed in our walk with Him. Christ knows when we are only in half way. In scripture, Christ calls this being lukewarm instead of hot or cold. There are consequen... (www.catholic365.com)

Call No Man Father

This question is one of the most common from the anti-Catholic wing of Protestantism (a decidedly small but vocal minority). It's one that I never had a problem with myself, even years before my own conversion. This is by far my shortest post, mostly because this is a very easy claim to refute.... (www.catholic365.com)

Loving Everyone

I was listening to the radio this morning, and it was mentioned that part of loving God is also loving others. And that struck me. It’s so easy and natural to love God, but people, not so much.... (www.catholic365.com)

Liturgical Catechesis: The Community As Transformational

From the earliest years of Church history, catechesis and liturgy have demonstrated a strong bond. This connection is clearly present in the RCIA process. The RCIA is profoundly liturgical and catechetical, and these two ecclesial activities are intricately interwoven as adults journey forward to ... (www.catholic365.com)

One of the biggest flaws of people are pretending to be blind to their own mistakes, but do not pretend to be deaf towards the mistakes of others.

Jesus forgave and accepted many sinners in his lifetime - tax collectors, prostitutes, adulterers, soldiers, criminals, etc. He was, however, particularly severe on hypocrites, and his most severe criticism was reserved for the Pharisees.... (www.catholic365.com)

The World of Ben Hur

I should not be surprised at how opposed am I to the opinions of the pundits. But once again, my polar reaction to the majority is about the new movie, The World of Ben-Hur.... (www.catholic365.com)

Jesus’ statement of fire is the fire of his love; it is powerful, all consuming in Christ’s love for his Father and his creation. Jesus wants the whole world to burn with the intensity of love he has for his Father and man.... (www.catholic365.com)

Jesus' Message Is Radical

It’s ironic that in today’s culture, followers of Christ are commonly associated with traditional values and old-fashioned views. However, Jesus Christ is the most radical, bomb-throwing revolutionary ever to walk the earth.... (www.catholic365.com)

Taking a closer look at Our Lord, the Shepherd

It’s a familiar, but perhaps too familiar, concept that we seem to overlook and gloss over when it is read or heard. “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.” (John 10:11)... (www.catholic365.com)

When I left the house this morning it was very cold. I thought, “Why do I get up so early to set up the altar for Mass?” I knew the answer to that. After setting up for Mass and saying the Morning Prayers with the others, I wrote this in my notebook. “Why do I desire to spend time with my Lord? Beca... (www.catholic365.com)

Christianity teaches us to love our neighbor as our self; modern society acknowledges no neighbor.

Jesus challenges us explicitly. Our love of God must be the motivating force in how we think, speak, and act. Our attitudes and motives, our outlook on life, must be reflective of a genuine love for God and others, and not simply for love of ourselves.... (www.catholic365.com)

Do Not Call Anyone on Earth ‘Father'-Not Even my Priest?

The Bible tells us not to call anyone on earth father. I never questioned why we as Catholics call our priests “father”. I assumed there was nothing wrong with applying this title. I normally call my own father “dad”. But, likewise I would not question the validity of calling him father either.... (www.catholic365.com)
