Truth without love is brutality, and love without truth is hypocrisy.

As humans, it is so difficult to be truly loving and forgiving persons, and we are tempted to take care of the appearances and thereby to acquire a reputation for virtuous living as we continue to be judgmental and unforgiving of our brothers and sisters.... (www.catholic365.com)

Missionary Work Still Needed Among the Wolves

In this week’s gospel reading, from Luke, chapter 10, we read about the time Jesus sent seventy-two of his followers out on an important mission. They were to go into all the towns and places that Jesus intended to visit, and they were to proclaim, “The kingdom of God is at hand.” Their task was to ... (www.catholic365.com)

I read about your upcoming Totus Tuus Mission* as I was looking through a copy of your most recent bulletin and felt compelled to comment. What a wonderful idea to bring this week long retreat to the youth of your parish. What a blessing for them.... (www.catholic365.com)

When you’ve attended Catholic schooling your entire life as I have, there are things that are engrained in you from an early age that non-Catholics or public school Catholics might not fully grasp in the same manner. Along with terminology—monstrance, vespers, narthex, sacristy, adoration and scapul... (www.catholic365.com)

Brexit and Stemming the Tide of Secular Globalization

When you keep pushing and bending a piece of wood, one of two things are likely to happen: either the wood breaks, or your hand just might slip and the wood springs back and smacks you in the face. The systematic implementation of and insistence upon a comprehensive policy of globalization and nouve... (www.catholic365.com)

Spotlight, Mercy, and the Future of the Priesthood

As a general rule, I always say that in order to truly understand a movie, I should see it twice. Yet, after seeing Spotlight, I never thought I would watch it again; it was hard enough the first time. But, when my Mom mentioned she wanted to see it, I told her I would go with her, almost without he... (www.catholic365.com)

God is never a God of discouragement. When you have a discouraging spirit or train of thought in your mind, you can be sure it is not from God

It is Barnabas’s community in Antioch that first garners the name “Christian,” in part because his community included people as diverse as two North Africans, a former persecutor, and a friend of Herod! This motley crew of fellow travelers on “the Way” crossed so many ethnic, political and social li... (www.catholic365.com)

Sex and the Single Pope

Let’s first off say it’s rather uncomfortable to talk or hear about sex from anybody you respect, like your parents, a teacher, and especially a priest. Not that it isn’t in a priest’s duty to talk about temptations of the flesh. In fact, as certain sins arise from the subject it can’t be avoided.... (www.catholic365.com)

Sick and tired of being sick and tired?

We earnestly desire holiness. We know we have imperfections that get in the way. Most of us could list weaknesses like fear, anxiety, control, selfishness, pride, laziness, or lust. Whatever is on our list, we pray constantly for God’s grace to fill up what is lacking to help us survive the daily... (www.catholic365.com)

Never Forget That Every Little Effort Counts

Last night, a friend of mine posted a Facebook invitation of sorts to one hundred of her closest, local friends. She knew we were all active in the pro-life movement in some way or another and felt called to ask us to write a Letter to the Editor of our local newspaper. Many of us had written in the...

Jesus wants to personally give you mercy. Will you let Him?

We live very busy lives. Adding another thing to our already busy schedules is rather difficult. Experiencing God’s infinite mercy in a personal way though, sounds like a great reason to add to our schedules. Yes, but what if it may cause us to be uncomfortable?... (www.catholic365.com)

The Bread: Symbolic or Substantial?

Not long ago was the Solemnity of Corpus Christi. The bread as the Body of Christ. Inciting the priest to teach just what we ingested when we take that consecrated host into ourselves. We were on the central coast at that time and heard two, maybe three homilies on the real presence. And then anothe... (www.catholic365.com)

An Old Man and a Little Girl

Thou Shall Not Hate.

The Ten Commandments are often looked upon negatively because they tell us what not to do. The sound like restrictions on our freedom. Everything has a price, though. To love, you must give up hate. To hate, you must give up love. To read this, you must give me $2.... (www.catholic365.com)

I have to admit, I got caught up in my electronics, wanting time by myself, and just wanted to run and hide away for a while. I don’t know why that is, because I always regret that feeling after the fact. I regret what I have missed by wanting to do things on my own. That selfishness gets in the wa... (www.catholic365.com)

‘The Desire for God'

We can meet Jesus in every moment of our lives. Jesus can be met in the poor person, the prisoner, the beggar, in any of our neighbour. In every person Jesus draws us closer to God, because in that person there is Jesus, and if we love that person we are loving Jesus, and by loving Jesus....He draws... (www.catholic365.com)
