Before I start, let me openly acknowledge that I come from long line of worriers. My mom was the type of person who if she had nothing to worry about would be worried that she didn’t know what to worry about. This was one of the many gifts she passed on to her son who then took the torch and ran wit... (www.catholic365.com)

How My Wife's Alzheimer's Tested My Virtue of Patience

The other day my wife informed me that she needed to pick up a few new outfits for work. Then she reminded me that we needed to get coffee filters and apples.

The Church must speak with Truth, and also with testimony… If a believer speaks about poverty, and leads the life of a Pharaoh – this cannot be done.

In this gospel Jesus says that His major witnesses are the Holy Spirit, the Paraclete or the Advocate and each one of us. The responsibility is given to us now by Jesus to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth about His saving words and loving works but of course with the help of...

Professor Allen and Jesus

I was disturbed by my train of thought this evening as I drove my mother-in-law to the emergency room. I thought, “How can this intelligent, gifted, man hide truths from himself? Is it because he must reconcile what he believes to be true with what he questions in his studies?” I’ve been having hear... (www.catholic365.com)

It is the Holy Spirit's job to convict, God's job to judge and our job to love.

There is an important reference to the Spirit in this Gospel reading taken from John’s Gospel. On the eve of his death, Jesus reassures his disciples that even though he will be absent from them, he will send upon them the “Paraclete”—John’s unique term for the Spirit—who “will teach you everything...

An Open Letter to Pope Francis

Your Holiness, The world is so filled with controversy, ignorance and moral decay that I can't help but be facing a great despair. Your predecessor, Pope John Paul II, said many times, "Be not afraid." The instruction has sustained me ever since through the worst news and the seeming hopelessness of... (www.catholic365.com)

Reflections Part 1: Christ is With Us Always

Our faith in the Lord Jesus is truly amazing and, without it being where it should be within the context of the Church and her guidance, life would be something else entirely.

On Christ Alone - The Parable of the Vine and Branches

Two of the five solae (only's) resulting from the Protestant Reformation are that of solus Christus or, "Christ alone", and soli Deo gloria or, "glory to God alone". These two seem to have been added at some point well after the initial three (the bible alone, faith alone, and grace alone), but we s... (www.catholic365.com)

If we only knew the precious treasure hidden in infirmities, we would receive them with the same joy with which we receive the greatest benefits

There is no doubt; we are living in an age of growing persecution against Christians. Cardinal Dolan of New York recently addressed the Conference of US Bishops gathered in assembly.

Bang, Bang. You're Dead

Exhaustion swept over me. It had been a long day at Disneyland with my young children, and I looked forward to plopping into bed at our motel room.
