Prison Ministry

I wrote this 4 years ago. The story is about the 1st time I did prison ministry with our group from church. I completed my orientation and was approved as a volunteer. The prison team from St. Charles and a few parishioners from St. Patrick’s met for lunch at the Dutch Café across the highway from t... (www.catholic365.com)

Showing Gratitude for the Ultimate Gift

All human persons share one ‘characteristic’ in common; regardless of ethnicity, country of origin, age, political party or spiritual or moral values and beliefs. What is that one thing?

5 Minute Gospel; God Loves You

"For God so loved the world that he gave his only-begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16) This is probably the most famous verse from the Bible, and rightfully so, it is known by both believers and non-believers alike. In this one verse we see... (www.catholic365.com)

To possess possessions, a man will "sell himself" to have what another has, but it never dawns on him ~ that the more he gets, the less he keeps of himself.

It all comes down to what we love. Never one to mince words, in this first reading, James declares that every Christian has a choice: we can choose to be lovers of the world and therefore enemies of God, or we can choose to be lovers and friends of God, but therefore enemies of the world. But we can... (www.catholic365.com)

Seeing God in the Obscurity of Faith

I’ve crossed the threshold into the unseen reality. There’s an unseen beauty, an unseen perfection, an unseen light and wonder of our invisible God. My eyes are useless. My senses are of no good for I can only see the glory of God with my spirit, my soul, with love. This is called faith.... (www.catholic365.com)

A Month of Reflections (Autism and CFS under one roof).

I saw a tweet earlier today (or yesterday as it is 1.03am!!) that I think was quoting something Pope Francis said, which is “People with disabilities are a gift for the family.” Wow! How powerful and thought provoking is this statement?... (www.catholic365.com)

Flung In the Mud and Trampled Underfoot

During the hour of Divine Mercy (3:00), I like to walk over to church and be with Jesus. He’s my next-door neighbor. As I’ve mentioned before, I can see the doors of the church that lead to the chapel and the Blessed Sacrament from my kitchen window. (I know. I’ve got it good.)... (www.catholic365.com)

The Glory of God!

I was moved by Wisdom 13 this morning. God is more beautiful than the most beautiful sunset, the ocean in all its grandeur, a field of bright white thick unblemished snow. God is more beautiful than lush green mountainous woods.... (www.catholic365.com)

Let's Talk About Mom: Mary Mother of God

As the month of Our Lady drew to an end, I couldn’t help but feel a little maudlin; I’m sure many of you did and do as well. However, there is great joy in knowing that our love for Our Lady is not reserved only to May, and neither her love for us.... (www.catholic365.com)

You Are God's Beloved: God Wants to Marry You

Like many people, I have felt aches and desires for more in my life. Despite loving relationships, a fulfilling career, and a growing spiritual life, I often still feel an emptiness – a pull if you will. A desire that goes unfulfilled, that others just can’t satisfy.... (www.catholic365.com)

God, the Husband and Wife, and Openness to New Life: Why Catholics Must Know the Church's Teachings on the Beauty of Marriage

For some reason, it seems to surprise some that Jesus had anything to say about marriage. The possible source of this surprise is another consideration for another day, but suffice it to say that Jesus’ teachings regarding marriage were counter-cultural even two-thousand years ago....

What Choice is Ours?

If there is anything that we, as Catholics, can learn—assuming we didn’t already know this—from the abhorrent state of our nation’s political affairs, it is that we should never put our faith in men (or women).... (www.catholic365.com)

Set your table: A reflection for the offertory

I don’t know about you, but it has always been difficult for me to focus during the offertory when I’m at Mass. Between the homily ending and the Eucharistic prayer beginning, it is incredibly tough for me to concentrate on what is taking place, since up to this point, I’ve been so focused on the re...

Does this soul need to be saved?

There I was in church on the first Friday of Lent for the Stations of the Cross. It’d been years since I went to the Stations of the Cross but for the new me, this was a must. Participation was sparse. I felt bad about that. I was in a pew by myself. The man in front of me was in the pew by himself.... (www.catholic365.com)

How Do You Live in a Season of Waiting?

Our faith lives consist of quite a bit of waiting. Waiting for the next step to become clear. Waiting for God to answer a prayer. Waiting for our path and vocation to be revealed. Waiting to understand God’s purpose and hand in our life circumstances. Waiting to find happiness and fulfillment.... (www.catholic365.com)
