With the world in such chaos, will you step up?

Sure, we may be stuck thinking we cannot do much with so much going on, but we are spiritual and material beings. The spiritual world and material world may seem so disconnected, but not-so. We, as human beings, stand in both worlds. So, the spiritual affects the material and the material affects... (www.catholic365.com)

In the late 60’s I attended a conference in Marathon, Fla, south of Miami. After flying to Miami, I headed in my rental car down Highway 1, south, toward the Keys. Alas, a flat tire occurred. I was alone on a lonely stretch of land with no gas stations and few houses. Cell phones were not yet a pa... (www.catholic365.com)

The Victory of Bread and Circuses

You’ve no doubt heard about it, the phenomenon that is Pokémon Go. In this game teenagers and their slightly older colleagues chase, using their smart phones, mythical vermin across local venues mapped by geographical software. Or, something approaching that. My own children have thoroughly confused... (www.catholic365.com)

Tongue-Tied? Why That Might Be A Good Thing

In a favorite line of a favorite movie of mine, Sense and Sensibility, the mother tells her daughter: “Hush, please. That is enough, Margaret. If you cannot think of anything appropriate to say, you will please restrict your remarks to the weather.” This line has me dying laughing, every time.... (www.catholic365.com)

The process of healing needs to include the pursuit of truth

When we are honest with ourselves, we know that we would like to ask Christ’s help for so many things in our lives. It’s true that petitionary prayer—in which we ask for something from God—is not as selfless a form of prayer as adoration. But God wants us to present our petitions to Him.... (www.catholic365.com)

Getting to bless 'ourselves' in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit is such a loving gift the Church gives us.

At the back of it there lies the central citadel of obstinacy: I will not give up my right to myself--the thing God intends you to give up if ever you are going to be a disciple of Jesus Christ.

Jesus sends us with the promise that if we trust God's promises and care, we might not quarrel, question and quit as we make our journey to proclaim that God is mothering us towards the "there" to which we move through the "here” - even when the "here" seems rather insecure at times....
