The Skeptics Canon (A Believers Attempt to Find Common Ground)

Stop me if you've heard this one. Two cartoon characters are entrenched in a debate about the origins of their existence. One character insists there is no creator. He picks up a rock and looks under, nothing. He looks to the heavens, nothing. He yells at the top of his lungs "HELLO!", just ech... (www.catholic365.com)

The Lamb has Seven Horns, the False Prophet, Two

The primary spiritual climate of the modern societies of former Christendom is as dark in nature as any of the greater phases of God’s Plan since the foundation of the world--as dark as Noah’s day, as Babel, as Egypt, as the Seleucids, as pagan Rome. It is not as widespread, but in nature, it is as ... (www.catholic365.com)

Blessed Anthony Neyrot and the Perils of Marriage

Bl. Anthony Neyrot was a Dominican religious in the 15th century. He started off his adult life rather uneventful. He got wanderlust and moved around looking for the next adventure. Later he was captured by a Muslim ruler and even, for a time, disavowed Catholicism and married a Turkish lady. He sta... (www.catholic365.com)

Once you choose hope, anything's possible!

Easter comes to us with a message of hope. We know for a fact that the Gospel writers recorded their accounts from hindsight. What is surprising though are the details and clarity of their recall.... (www.catholic365.com)

Transubstantiation, Scripture and Church Authority

Recently, I seem to be posting thoughts that must be considered controversial. This is the second time in a row I've had a lengthy discussion after writing an article on the Real Presence. What I've come to realize, is that some non-Catholic Christians are unable to reconcile their sola scriptura be... (www.catholic365.com)

Coming Out for Catholics

For anybody who does not know, I am personally discerning religious life as a Salesian Sister. God willing, I will become a candidate in the fall of 2017. It has been a journey, but it would have been much harder without the support of family and friends.... (www.catholic365.com)

If it is "daily bread," why do you take it once / twice a year? . . . Take daily what is to profit you daily.

This Sacrament of the Eucharist is the foretaste of all of the goodness that God has prepared for us. Jesus gave us this Sacrament on the night before He died as a way of sharing in His promise to deliver us from every form of slavery, from every one of our sins, and to lead us from this world into ...

A Memorable Church In An Unexpected Place

During Holy Week, I had the honor of attending a small mission church in Las Vegas. It was a very tiny building, in the Spanish style. The small piece of land adjacent to it was surrounded by an 8 foot high wrought iron fence. The land was probably no more than ten feet by twenty feet in size, cover... (www.catholic365.com)

God is Pro-Choice

It should surprise no one that God is pro-choice. He didn't create us to render robotic obedience to Him. If we couldn't disobey, then our obedience would be meaningless. Which is why, because He desires humanity to willingly return His love, He made a strategic, yet risky decision at Creation.... (www.catholic365.com)

The Essence of the Prayer of Jesus

The essence of the prayer of Jesus entailed dedicating every moment of every day to loving God with every part and with every fiber of his being (Lk 2:29. Jn 4:34). All his prayer was directed to this end. Pledging himself to love his Father, come what may, day in day out, might be simple, but it ce... (www.catholic365.com)

The Three Most Powerful Words

He is risen! Three little words; and yet, their meaning is beyond comprehension. In those three little words, the words that defy reality, death, our only surety in this life, is defeated. No longer will we rot in our graves. In Christ we are promised to rise to a life more glorious than this, one w... (www.catholic365.com)

Our failures and betrayals are not the end but lessons on how to start again.

The stage was set for the final drama of Jesus’ mission. Judas had gone to the chief priests to make a deal for handing Jesus over to them. This term ‘handing over’ is like a refrain all through the Gospel and reaches a climax here. John the Baptist was handed over. Now we see Jesus being handed ove... (www.catholic365.com)

Spring Cleaning for the Heart

Spring is here! Okay, technically it’s been here for a while, if you believe the calendar. And the seed catalogues-my favorite wish books. But the best part of this time of the year is that it is also springtime for the heart.... (www.catholic365.com)
