Objective, Tango (Apologies to Shakira)

In our interactions with others, we sometimes give, sometimes receive. It takes two to tango, as they say. Yet our objective is a Trinitarian Tango – active participation in the Gift we have received. You, me, God. Arrange the words however you want; God is the Subject.... (www.catholic365.com)

Father, Forgive Them . . . .

Just a few hours earlier, in the Gethsemane Garden, soldiers led by the Jewish priests surrounded Jesus and the disciples. Peter drew His sword and came within a hair of cutting the skull of the high priest’s servant. He sliced off His ear, instead.... (www.catholic365.com)

It's Good Friday. Good because 2000 years ago the events of today prove that we matter to God.

A terrible gap has come between God and all humanity caused by sin and evil. Our offences, our disobedience, the hurt we have caused God and others have destroyed our relationship with God.... (www.catholic365.com)

What If That Curious Story Really Is True?

Easter Sunday is almost here. Our culture celebrates with eggs, the symbol of new life. And with bunnies, the symbol of fertility. And with lilies and other flowers, the symbol of springtime renewal. And with 30 pounds of chocolate per person and fancy new clothes, the symbols of a consumer society ... (www.catholic365.com)

Waiting Can Be An Agony

On Holy Thursday and this year in my life Lent seemed to be a reenactment of the Life of Christ as He journeyed to Jerusalem. I do believe that many could say the same, and perhaps that is the way our Christian walk is meant to be.... (www.catholic365.com)

The Discomfort of the Cross

For obvious reasons, Good Friday has a different feel than any other day of the year. No other day has the same gravity. No other day has the same draw. We stop what we’re doing in the middle of the day to acknowledge the beginning of the most significant event in human history—the Paschal Mystery.... (www.catholic365.com)

Dei verbum (The Word of God)

It's a stereotype, but it has shades of truth to it. The sad fact is that far too many Catholics don't read the bible often or at all. Yes, we pick up the Bible proclaimed at Mass, but that is only a small portion of the body of Sacred Scriptures that we have at our fingertips, and I will touch on t... (www.catholic365.com)

The Twelfth Station of the Cross: A Mercy Reflection

As a little girl, my experience of Good Friday was one of respectful silence. Although our family did not go to church that day, my mother insisted that I be in the house, “off the streets,” so to speak, particularly from twelve to three, not playing or even uttering one word in our little apartment...

Where does Jesus teach Scripture alone?

If we look through Scripture, we find that Jesus selected a group of men. Then He organized them into a cohesive company of men to which He then gave a mission to accomplish. What was that mission? Was it that they should write down all which He commanded and hand it out so that others could read ... (www.catholic365.com)

The Tale of a Sacrament, an Encounter with Mercy

I am a person who has struggled in life with accepting God’s forgiveness. Some of the things I have done have hurt my soul so bad, it seems, God wouldn't bother listening to me at all. I always tried to convince myself of God’s love and forgiveness and I've tried to remember all those comforting bib... (www.catholic365.com)

I Like to Watch

I like to watch. I know I shouldn't, but there is something about it. There is something universal and personal at the same time, so I watch. It wasn't always like this. For many years, I refused to attend. (...These are indeed a stiff necked people..Exodus 32:9.) This was the sort of thing my Chris... (www.catholic365.com)

What Was Finished

Perhaps no other statement of Jesus on Golgotha’s hill mean so much to me as “It is finished.” I spent weeks contemplating why that is true, and decided the answer is best illustrated by my life with my two fathers.... (www.catholic365.com)

As I write this we are quickly approaching Holy Week. Lent is one of my favorite times of the year from a spiritual standpoint. We fast from certain things (meat on Fridays and whatever we chose to sacrifice for the season), but we also take on other activities that should edify us spiritually. It s... (www.catholic365.com)
