The Prayer for When You Feel Dry

I've had many times when I've wanted to pray, and ended up just sitting in front of the Lord in a hopeless shrug. For whatever reason, sometimes it feels near impossible to pray from the heart and come up with anything to say. And that is ok. Prayer also means listening.... (www.catholic365.com)

Honoring God at Table: Laudato Si and Menu Planning

Last year, Pope Francis released his encyclical Laudato Si calling us to be stewards - rather than consumers - of creation. Environmentalism cannot be brushed aside with a label of liberal politics, but must be a core value of Christians around the world.... (www.catholic365.com)

A Lamb in a Thornbush

In my many years in providing priestly spiritual direction I have often been approached by clients complaining of a symptom that they find hard to describe— not quite the same as depression, but a kind of heavy-heartedness—the opposite of what a “light-hearted’ exuberant happy-go-lucky person might ...

An Introduction to the Eastern Catholic Churches

If you are reading this, chances are that you are a Roman Catholic. Or, to put it more officially, you are a Catholic of the Roman Rite within the Latin Catholic Church. Sounds a little confusing, doesn’t it?... (www.catholic365.com)

Tonight, I went to a near-by Church for a time of worship and prayer. And as most everyone knows, there is power in words. Sometimes all it takes is one word to touch someone's heart, or affect you in ways you never expected. For me, tonight that was hearing, "Weak made strong; in the Savior's love....

Being A Good Steward Of You

More often than not when we think of stewardship our minds turn toward taking care of the environment and, if we are practicing our faith, supporting our church community. But what about us as persons and individual creations? Are we caring for our physical, spiritual and emotional well-being as wel... (www.catholic365.com)

Our Faith In The Trinity

If we profess to believe in God but not Jesus, the Word Made Flesh or if we profess to believe in God but not The Holy Spirit, our guide and our comforter then we are professing a belief in an incomplete God.... (www.catholic365.com)

Call Me Cupid-Let's Talk about God and Marriage

I have been married for almost two years now and I've been blessed with such an amazing husband. He is the greatest reflection of God's love and this is how it's supposed to be in a good Christian marriage. He humbles himself in order to lift me up and I try to do the same for him....

When Will We Be One?

In the gospel reading this weekend at Mass, Jesus looked up to Heaven and said, “I pray for those who will believe in me, that they will all hate each other and break off into separate groups. I pray that they will insult each other, and accuse each other of heresy, and proclaim that they, and they ... (www.catholic365.com)

God's will and suffering

There have been volumes written about seeking and discerning God's will, this will not be one of them. What I'd like to write about is praying for God's will to be done, even if we don't know what that exactly is, even when we are suffering.... (www.catholic365.com)

Mary's Passion and Modern Day Motherhood. What is the Connection?

How does this instance of Our Lady encountering Jesus on the way to his crucifixion apply to modern day motherhood? You probably are tempted to say, “Her son was perfect.

Following Jesus isn't something you can do at night where no one notices. It's a twenty-four-hour-a-day commitment that will interfere with your life. That's not the small print—that's a guarantee.

God bless St. Thomas in this gospel passage – he sets it up for us to hear and see clearly. Where is this place to which Jesus is referring? Where is He going? How long a walk is it? Are there any landmarks to expect along the road? No Thomas, Jesus is not speaking of a geographical location.... (www.catholic365.com)

God is a Family!

This seems odd, but it isn’t odd at all. God is the perfect unity of three persons. God revealed these three persons to us as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Father as the parent figure. Son as the child figure. And Holy Spirit as the love that the Father has for the Son and the Son has for the F... (www.catholic365.com)

A Message of Mercy: The Delicate Dance Between Doctrine and Pastoral Practice in Amoris Laeticia

When I heard the first news report on Pope Francis’ summary of the Synod of the Family in the form of an Apostolic Exhortation, Amoris Laetitia, I listened to one of the Catholic news analysts claim that even though the Pope held to traditional doctrines, he opened potential doors to pastoral change...
