After Communion recently the words of a simple hymn were poignant for me: "I received the Living God, and my heart is filled with joy." A simple truth of our faith had struck me again. In receiving Communion, I just received God, the Eternal, who made all things.... (www.catholic365.com)

A Divorce Society

We have lost our reverence for the Sacrament of Martrimony. You hear this a lot in reference to the legalization of homosexual "unions," which are indeed a terrible mockery of the indissoluble union between man and woman instituted by God. But this is just one of the symptoms of a culture bereft of ... (www.catholic365.com)

One of the most effective things you will ever do in life, whether you care to or not, is set an example.

The beginning of John’s Gospel states “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things game to be through him, and without him nothing came to be. What came to be through him was life, and his life was the light of the huma... (www.catholic365.com)

It's good to have money and the things that money can buy, but it's good, too, to check up once in a while and make sure that you haven't lost the things that money can't buy.

If we become too enamored with material wealth, we will become slaves of this earth, whether you realize it or not.... (www.catholic365.com)

The Assumption of Joseph

August 15 is the date the Catholic Church in the United States celebrates the Assumption of Mary into Heaven Body and Soul. It was Pope Pius XII who on November 1, 1950, declared this to be a dogmatic teaching of the Church. This teaching makes sense on so many levels that as early as the fourth cen...

What is the cost???

We see it everywhere we turn; price tags on the things we buy. It shows us the total cost. As Catholics, we must think in different terms when we hear the word “cost”. We were all bought and paid for by the blood of Christ. In His perfect passion, Jesus paid the ultimate price to free us from our... (www.catholic365.com)

Grace: That Elusive Reality

What is grace? Ask a dozen people, get a dozen answers. Perhaps the simplest definition I have ever heard is “God’s life in us.” While accurate and true, this definition only begins the scratch the surface of the workings of this great mystery that is as profound as God himself....

Catholics are frequently criticized because of the prominence and respect given to the Virgin Mary while simultaneously condemned for not giving enough prominence and respect to women.

Why was Mary’s body taken into Heaven along with her soul? Mary is the type of person that all of us were originally supposed to be, but didn’t become because of Original Sin. If Adam and Eve, and all of us in turn, had never sinned, then every one of us would rise body and soul into Heaven at the e... (www.catholic365.com)
