What Does Everyday Mercy Look Like?

“May I take your order?” asks our server. We hadn’t looked at our menus yet and asked for more time. “I’m sorry, so sorry!” she says rushing away. We’re a little confused by her reaction, but we continue talking about evangelization programs and activities we can "do" in this Year of Mercy that woul... (www.catholic365.com)

Believe in the Light!

Father Adam once gave an analogy of hiking in the dark compared to loss of faith. With a flashlight we get enough light to see a little of the trail but not the whole thing. I don’t know the rest. Made it was something about our faith growing dim and now we can’t see clearly.... (www.catholic365.com)

To Change A World

We are called to be soldiers for Christ. We are called to defend life, love, and our faith. Saints did not become saints by taking the easy road; they became saints by taking the road far less traveled – the road of discomfort, of being shunned, of being unhappy in the flesh and joyful in the spirit...

Collectivism is the "philosophy" of every cockroach and sewer rat: "If I want it, I must need it, and if I need it, I have a right to it, and if I have a right to it, it doesn't matter what I have to do to get it.

There is a right order for nature, and for the human family as well: both emanate from the same creator.... (www.catholic365.com)

Lord, Help Me to Forgive Myself!

“Uuuuggh…I’m a horrible human being. Why did I just do that? What will he/she/they think of me now? I hate myself right now. I could crumble on the floor and die right here. How humiliating,” Sound familiar?... (www.catholic365.com)

Have the courage to drop the stones we carry to throw at others, and think a bit on our own sins!

The Fall of the Rainbow

I was scrolling through Facebook the other day, rather mindlessly I’ll admit, and something jolted me into awareness of what I was doing. A rainbow of colors in a parade flashed in a short clip of a video. Curious of what this could be and thinking of the bright colors that are so attractive to the ... (www.catholic365.com)

(not so) Tongue Tied

If we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we also guide their whole bodies. It is the same with ships: even though they are so large and driven by fierce winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot's inclination wishes. In the same way the tongue is a small... (www.catholic365.com)

That there are no longer any strong father figures in movies and that masculinity is contorted to mean only violence and control.

A Prayerful Nation

In the wake of the recent tragedies from terrorism in Orlando, Florida and Turkey; and most recently a massacre in Dallas - I am reminded that we were once a nation under God.

I do not at all understand the mystery of grace - only that it meets us where we are but does not leave us where it found us.

Amos, the Old Testament prophet from whose book we hear in this First Reading at Mass, was considered obnoxious because he preached the need of repentance on the part of everyone in Israel, including the king and the priests.... (www.catholic365.com)
