My Pal Jumbo Never Went To Mass Until----Then He Never Missed Mass Again*

Jumbo Feeney and I grew up together in the Bronx and we have been best friends since "Hector was a pup". We can go a year without talking to each other and when we get on the phone together it is just like we spoke ten minutes ago. I love the guy. But sometimes he drives me nuts....

I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.

This gospel passage contains only seven verses but it mentions ‘faith’ four times. Particularly, Jesus scolds his apostles because of their unbelief and stubborn hearts. And so therefore let us reflect about faith. Jesus gives us the gift of faith to know Him more personally and to understand the my... (www.catholic365.com)

Don't be a Victim

Rather than playing victim and dwelling in negative circumstances, think positive and appreciate what you do have. I have known people with terminal illnesses and severe physical and mental challenges. I have known people who come from very broken homes and terrible abuses. I have known people wh...

Of Foxes and Men

We recently celebrated the passion, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. For us as Catholics, this is the pivotal moment in our faith.

Never let anything so fill you with sorrow as to make you forget the joy of Christ risen.

Why would the disciples “dare” to ask Jesus “Who are you?” if they realized who He was? The wording of this verse suggests some unresolved ambiguity. While the miracle of catching 153 fish convinced them who He was, there was still some reason for them to ask His identity. His miracle convinced them... (www.catholic365.com)

Cold Shoulder Catholicism

When our family first began attending a Catholic parish on a regular basis, we had several reasons. The most prominent one was based on the reputation of most parishes: We wanted to be left alone. We had been through some tough times in our former church, and were still dealing with wounded heart... (www.catholic365.com)
