An Open Letter to Whoever Thinks Their Lent Failed

First of all, I should say that I’m right there along with you. I had so many ideas about how to make this the best Lent ever. I was going to make so many sacrifices and spend so much time in prayer.... (www.catholic365.com)

Guess Who's In Heaven?

Johnny said to Father Ignatius, “Father, I had a funny dream the other day!” “I could do with a good laugh,” replied the priest, “tell me about it.” “Father, I dreamt I was in Heaven and Graham, my worst enemy, was there too!”... (www.catholic365.com)

Christ leads the Church, therefore the Church is infallible

After Christ was smitten and crucified, He came back. Appeared to Peter and the Apostles and they came together again. Christ never again left the Church, but remains with the Church to this day. And the Church remains, infallible.... (www.catholic365.com)

No pain, no palm; no thorns, no throne; no gall, no glory; no cross, no crown.

There is truth in the old adage, "No cross, no crown." Suffering is necessary if we are to become the persons God meant us to be. Suffering enables us to know ourselves and to get outside ourselves. It matures us into the fullness of being human. The type of suffering - the cross of our lives - ... (www.catholic365.com)

Reflections on the Resurrection, Cimabue's Glorification

I'd always been ready to poke fun at the culture-vultures who were bussed into Florence to 'do the city' in a single day until I found myself in a far worse predicament. I had but three hours in which 'to do' the same city while awaiting my connection for Rome.... (www.catholic365.com)

When He Calls My Name

I am always caught by a particular detail in this reading. Mary Magdalene was the first to see Jesus after he had risen. She was obviously distraught; the loss of Jesus was undoubtedly terrifying for her.... (www.catholic365.com)

Into Thy Hands . . .

Oh, thanks be to God for Jesus’ example – deep and abiding love for God, a love birthed in a lifetime of prayer and meditation of the Scriptures and seeking His face above all other faces – Jesus is our example of what we too can say when faced with depression, heartache, terror, loss . . . we can l...

That Long, Last mile....

On Saturdays, I deliver the Eucharist to a local Hospital here. Holy Communion. Literally and physically, the Body of Christ. Think about that for a moment. Let that sink in. The simple fact that He allows me, a super flawed human being, to even distribute His body absolutely blows my mind. I’m so u... (www.catholic365.com)

Pope Saint Lucius I

Pope Lucius I, born somewhere around 200 AD, rulled only 253 days, from June 25, 253 to March 5, 254.

A Deeper Meaning to the Eurcharist

We have all read the story millions of times. We will hear the same story on Holy Thursday. It is a story that we all partake in every time we go to Mass and receive the Eucharist.

His Real Presence. Our Real Power. My Proclamation. (A True Story)

My wife and I just completed Whole 30. She first declared the commitment. No way I was going to sit on the sidelines. (Yes, God can use pride!) From the very beginning it was an unlikely gift. My pangs. So many times at the end of the day I wanted to split a beer (as my wife and I do) or glass of wi... (www.catholic365.com)

Where Have All Our Catholic Men Gone?

I have thought a lot about the so called "Catholic 'Man-Crises" that our Church is presently faced with. I ponder the dilemma because I am, by nature, a problem solver. As I am out in the world, I am usually on a fact-finding mission related to one thing or another in an attempt to resolve somethin... (www.catholic365.com)

To Commit or Not To Commit? That is the Question!

What did the Cross accomplish? What does Scripture say?

As far as I know, crucifixion is no longer practiced. But, in the ancient world, crucifixion was a horrible form of execution which accomplished both the torture and death of the persons sentenced to such a punishment.... (www.catholic365.com)
