Rethinking Mary, Of Martha and Mary

I have always sided with Martha, in defense of her valid complaint against her lazy sister, sitting on her virtual backside while Martha cooks and serves what was most likely a sizable crowd. The Lord was generally accompanied by large groups of people. Imagine suddenly learning that you need to coo... (www.catholic365.com)

Do not be afraid to abandon yourself unreservedly to His loving Providence, for a child cannot perish in the arms of a Father Who is omnipotent.

Holy Doors Of Mercy

The Chapel of the Holy Cross in Sedona is a pilgrimage site for a Holy Door during this Jubilee Year of Mercy. When I found out there was a Holy Door in Sedona, I wanted to be sure we each walked through the door and fully understood what it meant.... (www.catholic365.com)

Should St. Joseph Get a "Dirt Nap"?

There’s an old tradition that claims if you bury a statue of St. Joseph upside-down in your yard, you will sell your house quickly. It seems this tradition dates back to the 15th century, and originally it was an overt threat to the earthly father of Our Lord.... (www.catholic365.com)

In my introduction page I say right away that I am selfish, a little mean and a little rude, stubborn, and conceited. I start with that to let you know to beware of those when you meet me or read my blog posts. That's the way the evil one gets to me because he thrives off my weaknesses.... (www.catholic365.com)

I identify as . . .

There is an ancient philosophical position that goes by the name of voluntarism, which is to say, the systematic favoring of the will over the intellect; where desire trumps truth. Broken down simply what voluntarism means is that what a person wants to be true becomes what is actually true. Of cour... (www.catholic365.com)

Avoiding the Spider

I didn’t see the spider's web until I nearly ran into it. The thing was virtually invisible. If sunlight hadn’t suddenly glistened off its strands, I would have walked right into it.

Sexuality in the Bible: The Beginning

This is part 1 of a several part series. Sexuality: what it is and how it plays into God’s role of salvation is a captivating subject. This is probably at least one reason why St. John Paul II came out with his ‘Theology of the Body’. It is a topic that virtually everyone is interested in in one way... (www.catholic365.com)
