The Right and the Left

The Church is not a political entity. She is a spiritual entity. In this day and age, we are all too caught up in our convenient ideological labels. This person is a conservative. That person is a liberal. He is only saying that because he is a member of that party. She would think differently if sh... (www.catholic365.com)

Final Exam for St. Peter

Ever since the apostle Simon Peter enrolled in M.I.T. (the Messiah Institute of Theology), he had been one of Professor Jesus’ favorite students. “The boy’s a bit hard-headed,” Jesus would comment in the faculty lounge, “but he’s got a heart of gold.

There is none so blind as the one who does not want to see.

Today in the gospel Jesus was addressing the Jews in the temple area and for them all that Jesus was and said were blasphemous and therefore deserving of death by stoning. They may have thought that they were being faithful to their understanding of God's Law but their blindness to all that Jesus di... (www.catholic365.com)

Doubting Thomas

How many remember this wonderful quote from the little elf Judy in “The Santa Clause” or from Charlie to Miss Newman in “The Santa Clause 2”? The message in that quote meant just because you can’t see something, then that isn’t proof that it doesn’t exist.... (www.catholic365.com)

Ignatius of Antioch and the Way of the Cross...

It is one thing to say you are willing to die for your beliefs but it's another to actually do it. As far as I'm concerned, that's the true measure of a man; having the faith and fortitude to stand up for one's beliefs, even at the risk of certain peril.... (www.catholic365.com)

Man has always sacrificed truth to his vanity, comfort and advantage. He lives... by make-believe.

As we reflect on the gospel today, let us examine our lives and assess how freely we are living it. Do we build ourselves prisons out of our favorite sins, done covertly under the guise of unfettered living of our lives? Or do we constantly choose the path of right living, that we may walk in the li... (www.catholic365.com)

Living the Year of Mercy

Pope Francis has declared December 8, 2015-November 20, 2016 the Year of Mercy. For me, mercy brings to mind forgiveness.

The Stations of the Cross are a great mediation upon the provision and price God paid for our salvation and to restore the fellowship lost in Eden. I think they should be a regular contemplation not only during Lent but year around if only in our private devotions.... (www.catholic365.com)
