Sacrifice is a part of life. It's supposed to be. It's not something to regret. It's something to aspire to.

The Moral Imperative of Capitalism

It is fashionable, and has been from time immemorial, to condemn the free market as anti-Christian, as some intrinsically greedy and savage process whereupon the rich get richer, and hopefully buy better hair pieces, and the poor get poorer, and hopefully do not buy further copies of the NIV....

The Sweetness of Humility

Humility is the virtue from which all other virtues flow making it most important. When we’re baptized we become children of God. Jesus Christ, God’s Son, was the perfect model of humility.

If we command our wealth, we shall be rich and free. If our wealth commands us, we are poor indeed.

After twenty centuries of Christianity, material wealth, power and prestige are still very much a measure of success whether in individuals or institutions. In this gospel reading the people at that time (and still many people today) believed that being rich meant that one was favored by God and wel... (www.catholic365.com)

Doing God's Will for the Wrong Reasons

It may seem a somewhat irreverent place in which to pray, but I have more genuine prayers and conversations with God in my car when I’m driving to and from work.

Jesus always knew he was Divine

These comments, in our missalette, from today’s gospel, Matthew 15: 21-28, bothered me. I might have just wondered about it and let it go but because of a discussion I had with my sister, Helen, I wanted to explore this more.... (www.catholic365.com)

We have to listen to the Holy Spirit who is inside us! What does he tell us? Are we open to "God's surprises"? Or are we closed and fearful before the newness of the Holy Spirit?

The presence of the Holy Spirit of Jesus and our Loving Father is tangible and wonderful. The Spirit confirms (makes firm or strong; authorizes and guarantees) whatever is a movement of the Divine in us and around us.... (www.catholic365.com)

The Gifts of the Spirit for Mothers

It takes three to make love, not two: you, your spouse, and God.

Divorce is commonplace in our society. Many see it as a “necessary evil”, while others see it as a positively good choice or option. However, Jesus is very clear. Divorce and remarriage is morally equivalent to adultery, with the difference that while adultery is a mortally sinful act, divorce and r... (www.catholic365.com)
