Rejections and Disappointments are Part of the Training Regimen in God's Gym….

I can remember, when I was a boy, waiting to be chosen on a team when in the neighborhood, or schoolyard, we played some kind of a team game. I was not a particularly gifted athlete, and so I was rarely chosen in the top few. I remember how that felt.... (www.catholic365.com)

There is a God and He is good, and his love, while free, has a self imposed cost: We must be good to one another.

We must vigilantly strip away all our prejudices; rout them out as soon as they are revealed to us. As Christians, our desire must be to embrace Jesus’ the message of love and mercy even when it is NOT convenient—the message of the cross.... (www.catholic365.com)

Breaking the Habit

What image appears in your mind when you think of a religious sister? Most people picture a sister as a lady dressed from head to toe in a habit of some kind depending on which order she is a part of. However, we do not see many sisters dressed in the traditional habits anymore, and that is upsettin... (www.catholic365.com)

A Timely Reminder for the Laity: Catholic Teaching on Love, Sexuality, and Our Common Call to Chastity

To confess your sins to God is not to tell him anything he doesn't already know. Until you confess them, however, they are the abyss between you. When you confess them, they become the bridge.

n the readings from Mass, we see the Lord speaking to various cities and communities, and not in the most approving of ways. In both the first reading (Isaiah 7:1-9) and the Gospel noted above, the Lord has reproach for these cities which have seen the goodness of the Lord.... (www.catholic365.com)

Do you let your faith inconvenience you?

Not always will your faith in Jesus Christ and His Church inconvenience us, but it undoubtedly will. The good Samaritan was inconvenienced, but that did not stop him. We need to see these moments not as an inconvenience, but as an opportunity to love. Love is often inconvenient, but it is always ... (www.catholic365.com)

They were all members of the famed “Irish Brigade” of the US Army, and were gathered in a Peach Orchard ju... (www.catholic365.com)

Just like Martha, I am anxious and worried about things. I have many things to be anxious about, and numerous things that I can be worried about in my life. All of which have significance, and all of which have merit, but the being anxious and worried part does not. I have no real reason to be worri... (www.catholic365.com)

The Sacrament of Touch

In 1986 the Sea of Galilee receded during a drought exposing an ancient fishing boat, 27 feet long by 7.5 feet wide. It was taken to a nearby kibbutz where it was carbon dated. As it was proved to be approximately two thousand years old and designed to carry between 12 and 15 fishermen, the locals c... (www.catholic365.com)

Our actions have a tongue of their own; they have an eloquence of their own, even when the tongue is silent. For deeds prove the lover more than words.

We are blessed to live in a world where, when there is a disaster or emergency, generous people open their hearts and wallets and roll up their sleeves to help those in their communities or around the world. But helping your neighbor, loving your neighbor as yourself is something we can do every day... (www.catholic365.com)

Was Jesus too hard on Martha?

At St. Patrick the celebrant began his homily with this question, “Martha or Mary, which is right?” I remember much of what he told us. We all desire to be in the presence of the Lord but we have responsibilities. It’s a balancing act.... (www.catholic365.com)
