Happenings at Medjugorje!

Dear Professor Allen, I’m writing this to you from Sarajevo Airport on my way home from a pilgrimage to the village of Medjugorje in Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Bringing Back the Godly in Godparents

He gave me a book with a girl that had red curly hair in it. That wasn’t special. The music box that came with the book was. He gave me a wooden jewelry box, hand-carved. That wasn’t special.

An Infusion of Grace

In the weeks and months following Veronica’s murder, I was in constant prayer. Constant conversation with God. God showed me my own soul. I was ashamed at how loosely I applied the law to myself all the while applying it very strictly to others. I had everything backwards. My soul was illuminat... (www.catholic365.com)

We have largely lost sight of the holiness and purity of God today. This is one reason why we tolerate sin so easily.

The church celebrated the Ascension of Jesus into heaven. In a way, we are invited to make an “ascension” in our life. We are called to come closer to God. We are called to be more faithful disciples of Christ. We are called to “ascend” to holiness. We also know that ascension to holiness does not h... (www.catholic365.com)

God is love. God doesn't choose certain people to love. God loves all of us. Unconditionally.

There are different types of love but there is no confusion in the language of the New Testament. When Jesus speaks about love it is always a special type of love, unselfish love, loving the other for the other’s sake without anything in it for oneself.... (www.catholic365.com)

Heaven, Hell, and Natural Law

Watching the foundational truths of so many great civilizations being dismantled, brick by brick, one can't help but wonder how we found ourselves here? Is it not enough to point to our ancestors and say we live this way because they lived this way? For that matter, why has wanting a world similar... (www.catholic365.com)

Finding God's will in the novena

The first time I prayed a novena I was 24 and on my way to work. My father was in the hospital, a semi-annual occurrence for a heart patient with a medical history longer than the Mississippi and twice as wide.

Church Ladies: We Put the Church in the Lady and the Lady in the Church

These words of the Apostle’s Creed never meant so much to me as they do now. I would like to focus on the words, “I believe in the holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints,” and pause there for a moment. During this past year, with the passing of a local saint and the birth of the “church lady”... (www.catholic365.com)

Christian joy is a gift of God flowing from a good conscience.

Jesus gives us the secret to a life of complete joy: obeying God's commands. In Mt 22: 37 – 40, Jesus gives us the two greatest commandments: to "love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your mind" . . . and to "love your neighbor as yourself. The whole Law and... (www.catholic365.com)
