Jesus and Extraterrestrial Life: Meditation on John 10:14-18

Resurrection Evidence: It's Effect on Saul of Tarsus

There was one more Post-Resurrection appearance of Jesus Christ of which we are given testimony, and its source bears stark witness to its ultimate reality. Those who have been friends, relatives and followers of Christ could well be expected to aff... (www.catholic365.com)

Resurrection Evidence: Eye Witness Accounts Part 2

What happened in Jerusalem seven weeks after the first Easter could have taken place only if Jesus' body were somehow missing from Joseph's tomb, for otherwise the Temple establishment, in its imbroglio with the Apostles, would simply have aborted t... (www.catholic365.com)

The Eucharist: Just a Symbol?

Recently I heard that 60 percent of Catholics do not believe in the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist. Well maybe it was only 40 percent. Either way that’s a large number of people who are not aware of the grace we receive each time we receiv... (www.catholic365.com)

Pregnancy, Wonderful and Beautiful! Revelation of the Developing Old Testament?

just as a beloved lady must carry a child in her womb for nine months, so, in any world that would happen to Fall and that was to then receive an Incarnation from God, I believe that there would need to be the same nine theological phases of history to prepare for Incarnate One....

God Loves that Guy

I was in church during Adoration not too long ago and there was praise and worship music playing in the background. There was a song talking about a man strapping homemade bombs to his chest. I was thoroughly confused,... (www.catholic365.com)

Preach the Gospel at all times, and if necessary, use words. So goes the saying often attributed to the Italian saint, Francis of Assisi. Implied, of course, within this famous quote, is the idea that we have the ability to preach the gospel with the whole of our lives.... (www.catholic365.com)

Joy vs.Happiness

At a weekend retreat I attended with my husband, the director of the retreat, a young priest, used the theme of joy for his conferences. He began by comparing joy to happiness, and explained that happiness is something that we experience based on conditions—I’m happy because the weather is nice (if ... (www.catholic365.com)

When we face our maker, we will not be asked, 'How many positions did you hold,' but rather, 'How many people did you help?"

Some of us, people of ‘position’ for example, have the attachment of seeking to be first among many. St Mark in this gospel reminds us that those that wish to be great will be called to serve, those wishing to be first among us should be the slave of all. This is an important message, and lesson, fo... (www.catholic365.com)

Love Makes the Word Go Round

After sitting down to write this article I googled: number of couples still married after forty years. Some interesting references popped up but the one that caught my eye was titled 40 Lessons from Forty Years of Marriage by Dennis Rainey. I shouldn’t have read it! Not because I didn’t agree with ...

Building Memories

In old age, one often closes their eyes to reflect upon the past, a past composed of people- like stepping stones in a babbling brook. One remembers children, their birth and antics; loves, some whom have passed on. Happy memories keep one attached to other people; things and places aren’t sentien... (www.catholic365.com)

Reality Check: Does Having Judeo-Christian Values Make You a Candidate for Genocide?

The words--annihilation, extermination, carnage, and slaughter, to name a few, are synonyms for the word "Holocaust". The word "genocide"not invented until 1941, fits right in there. But none of those words bring us to the core of what those words truly represent. They are the by-product of the male... (www.catholic365.com)

A different approach to fear and trust

I entered priestly and religious formation just after high school. During those eight years, if there was one talk, homily, or article that frustrated me, it was any whose topic was on fear.
