‘The Grand Sez Who' Wreaking Havoc in Our Culture

Some years ago I wrote an editorial column for a local newspaper, which explained the harmful effect of moral relativism on our culture.

God; a mystery yet knowable

We speak of the mystery of God and the Holy Trinity, but what does this mean? Didn't Jesus reveal all that we need to know? Hasn't the Holy Spirit been sent to lead us "into all truth"(John 16:13)? Like most matters pertaining to Catholicism, the answer is both/and, not either/or.... (www.catholic365.com)

Jesus: The Model Parent

There are so many ways in which I wish I could be more Christ-like. Of course, we all strive for these qualities, as we should, but it never ceases to amaze me how many new and different ways Christ shows me the ways to be better than I am.

Suffering is a medicine for salvation, not a punishment for damnation.

We question why suffering exists. Particularly, why do the innocent suffer? Everyone needs the Divine Physician. We are all ill. The sickness that is original sin affects us all, even those who appear completely innocent. Original sin does not discriminate. It affects us all at the beginning o... (www.catholic365.com)

Men tell us in these days that sin is what you think it is. Well, it is not. Sin is what God thinks it is. You may think according to your own conscience. God thinks according to His.

Everyone who is serious about life, especially eternal life, is keenly aware that we are made in the image and likeness of God. We are aware that God is God and we are God’s creation. Our lives have a beginning and they have an end.... (www.catholic365.com)

What Can Wash Away My SIn?

Several years ago I showed a woman a photo of a large crucifix – a cross with a figure of Jesus nailed to it. I don’t think I will ever forget her reaction. She physically shuddered, turned her head from the image, and told me to close the book.... (www.catholic365.com)

The Destiny of Man is to unite, not to divide. If you keep on dividing you end up as a collection of monkeys throwing nuts at each other out of separate trees.

Occasionally, when someone today wants to pay a real compliment to someone else you may hear them remark; ‘he’s the salt of the earth’.... (www.catholic365.com)
