Hell Is Real - Part One

Each year in October, I dedicate a lesson in the eighth grade catechism class I teach to the subject of hell. I felt the need, many years ago, to start this as I saw the season and celebration of Halloween to be centered more and more on the glamorization of evil and the devil.... (www.catholic365.com)

An Emphasis on Experience

I am an experiential learner. I learned at a conference about how to successfully counsel couples that I was an experiential learner. The presenter was knowledgeable, the auditory part engaging, and the visual effects stimulating. They showed so many funny, sad, serious, and moving videos!... (www.catholic365.com)

Prayer: The Ongoing Battle

I walked away from a weekend feeling totally and completely worn. Physically, I had done nothing but sit and kneel, and yet I felt more tired than I had felt in a long time. I was mentally exhausted, and all I had been doing was praying and reading my bible.... (www.catholic365.com)

Yes: a vocation demands self-denial, sacrifice. But how pleasant that sacrifice turns out to be —joy and peace — if that self-giving is complete!

It would be a mistake to confuse duty and virtue. We can easily take on daily duties, but do them without faith that God is acting through our simple efforts. We can do our daily duties without hope that what God can accomplish through our meager efforts is much more than we can imagine. To carry on... (www.catholic365.com)

On Saint Benedict's Ladder

Some of my education is business equivalent over long careers. This causes a need for me to stick up for myself. I suppose this may come across as: brave, selfish, defiant, impatient, illogical, haughty at best, over confident, bossy, bold, funny, flippant and in your face. These might be true at ti...

Seeing As He Sees Us.

Most of us are at least somewhat aware of how others see us. Some people think we’re great, and then there are others who think we aren’t so great. They are the ones who put us down, criticize us to the greatest degree, and go out of their way to make sure we hear all the negative things they have t... (www.catholic365.com)

"Cowardice asks the question: is it safe? Expediency asks the question: is it politic? Vanity asks the question: is it popular? But conscience asks the question: is it right?

In our first reading from the Mass the people appear on the surface to be devout. They offer sacrifice. They burn incense. They celebrate their religious festivals. Yet, beneath the veneer of worship, the people were judged to be as sinful as Sodom and Gomorrah. Their society is corrupt.... (www.catholic365.com)

Blessed be the Peacemakers

Most of us have heard that verse from Matthew 5:9. The term “peacemaker” has different meanings to each of us. Having been involved in law enforcement for most of my life, police officers come to my mind first. I know that I have always tried to be a peacemaker and protector for all of God’s child...

I bet you've seen the fundamentalist bumper sticker that says, "God said it! I believe it! That settles it!" It must be a typo because what the driver really means is, "I said it! God believes it! That settles it!"

The “something greater than the temple” of which Jesus speaks is, of course, Jesus Himself. As the Old Testament priests served in the Temple, so the disciples of Jesus serve in His Presence. It is in serving Him, and especially in offering priestly sacrifice through Him, that the meaning of all Chr... (www.catholic365.com)
