Part II - Lord of the Rings is a Catholic story?

In the first part of my article on Lord of the Rings, we look at the Catholic themes such as devotion to Mary, Confession, Exorcism, Eucharist, and the meaning of the ring. (See Part 1 https://tonyjesse.wordpress.com/2016/05/14/the-hidden-meaning-of-lord-of-the-rings/)... (www.catholic365.com)

Lessons Learnt at Home

My mother taught me to say my Morning Offering the moment I woke up in the morning. But above all she showed me how to put it into practice by her own example. It wasn’t the little things that I noticed at first, but the big sacrifices that she made, that even I noticed. Like that terrible moment i... (www.catholic365.com)

Sin is committable in thought, word or deed; so is virtue

When confronted with a difficult moral choice, we know how easy it is to tell ourselves that we, as individuals, are “just one person”, and that one little choice in the wrong direction isn’t going to hurt anything. The next time we face that temptation, say a prayer to Saints John Fisher and Thomas... (www.catholic365.com)

Bring God Along on Your Next Vacation

Each year, I eagerly await my vacations and count down the weeks and days as they approach. It’s a time for me to forget about my daily concerns and step outside of the schedule and never-ending list of to-dos that fill my days.

Peace, tranquility, joy, love, contentment; just some of the emotions that may have filled the hearts of the Graves family, as they sat on the beach at Disney World's Grand Floridian Resort one night two weeks ago, while their 2-year-old son, Lane, waded in about a foot of water nearby....

The Lord's Prayer - The Our Father - The Prayer for All!

“Do you mind if we pray the long version of the Lord’s Prayer?” I heard Chaplain Herb ask mom. He said, “Some call it the Protestant version.” Mom answered, “That would be fine.

I am in the middle of washing dishes from lunch when a knock sounds on my front door. No doorbell rings, rather a gentle and persistent tap is heard. I put my dishes aside and walk to the door. Upon opening it, I see a middle-aged man. I can tell from his unkempt beard and rumpled white polo that he... (www.catholic365.com)

A barrel of humanity

When my husband and I take a driving trip we usually end up eating at a Cracker Barrel. The same was true on our last trip. The restaurant was very crowded that day, and since I am not a big fan of crowds, I really dreaded going in. We were pretty hungry since we'd been driving for several hours, so...

The devil is like a scorpion blending into the environment.

Everything exists on God’s love. This means the devil must exist on God’s love as well. No one ever told me this. It’s a question I never thought to ask until I started to write about the devil. Is the existence of the devil sustained by God’s love?... (www.catholic365.com)

The Catholic Church and the AR-15

When I joined The Church around my 35th year, coming over from Judaism, I joined because frankly it seemed the most aesthetically beautiful and intellectually coherent of the Christian faiths.

To not be understood but to understand

I have always been drawn to this prayer as a kind of “how to live your life guide”. The first half draws me in; it inspires us to take the evil of this world, and be like Christ. Satan would love for us to believe that the world is all evil and hopeless, but Christ inspires hope and love. And we are... (www.catholic365.com)

It's All Paradox

In the physics of spirituality, it’s all paradox. St. Thomas Aquinas put down his pen, never to pick it up again, after four-thousand pages of his great work the Summa Theologica. He had reached question 99 when he quit. And when asked why, replied, “…‘All that I have written seems like so much stra... (www.catholic365.com)

No evil dooms us hopelessly except the evil we love, and desire to continue in, and make no effort to escape from.

In the times we live in, where the concept of sin is played down or is even denied, where the Sacrament of Penance is considered by some persons as something hard, sad and obsolete.... (www.catholic365.com)
