Do you watch out for me?

Often when loved ones die, comforting words come from all around, a common is “Don’t worry, they’re watching over you now..” A comforting statement indeed, I think most of us would love to believe that our passed on loved ones are now in Heaven looking out for us, but just how theologically correct ...

Speaking of Tongues

Scripture tells us that when we do not know how to pray—the Holy Spirit gives us the moanings and groanings from within to speak for us. Maybe that is how the Wailing Wall got its name. Another example, long before the Jesuits came to teach of God; the Indians knew how to chant and pray to the ‘Grea... (www.catholic365.com)

The Eleventh Station of the Cross: A Mercy Reflection

If I had to select one Station that especially convicts me in this Jubilee of Mercy, it is this Eleventh Station: “Jesus is nailed to the Cross.” As God, Jesus could have released Himself from the hands of His executioners. He did not powerlessly succumb to being nailed to the cross; He Willed it... (www.catholic365.com)

St Paul, The Galations and Me

One of the last Divine Office readings before Ash Wednesday is from St. Paul's Letter to the Galations. He minces no words and we can practically see the spittle collecting at the sides of his mouth as we read the Apostle's exhortations. Paul is admonishing the new community in the remote province i...

Christianity today is not different from primitive Christianity ... She remains what she has been since her foundation: always the same.

How is it that Peter knows that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God? I would suggest that it flowed from Peter’s observation of Jesus, from his listening to the teachings of Jesus, from his choosing to live his life in imitation of Jesus over these several years of discipleship....

Blessed Villana de'Botti and a Deflated Belly

Blessed Villana de’Botti was born in 1332. At first, she was very devout but then it happened—boys. She became quite the party animal. When she married, she threw parties the likes of which are still talked about—think the toga party from Animal House.... (www.catholic365.com)

Sushi and the Traditional Catholic Mass

By now, most Americans are familiar with sushi. Whether they eat it often, seldom, or never; it's no longer some strange foreign exotic food. Today, about one hundred establishments sell sushi within a twenty minute drive from my house, compared with three in 1987. One can now find it at Japanese re... (www.catholic365.com)

The Tenth Station of the Cross: A Mercy Reflection

“Jesus is robbed of His garments.” In the Tenth Station, we commemorate one of the many unjust humiliations that Our Savior suffered for us on His way to Golgotha. How many times have we experienced various unjust “robbings”? How many times have we been the victim of offences and negligences to our ... (www.catholic365.com)

Do you believe that Jesus Christ promised to lead the Church unto the end of the world?

Protestants say that they believe in Jesus Christ and in Scripture. But not that the Catholic Church is infallible. In fact, they don’t believe that any Church is infallible. Not even their own. What is it that they are missing?... (www.catholic365.com)

All God's plans have the mark of the cross on them, and all His plans have death to self in them

Many of those who spent time with Jesus during the three years of His public ministry never figured out what Jesus was saying through His preaching. These disciples had very different ideas of what Jesus was trying to accomplish on this earth. They all knew He was someone important and powerful. The... (www.catholic365.com)

St. Senan and the Bad Adele Impersonator

On March 8th, the Church honors St. Senan. He’s an obscure Irish saint who lived in the Middle Ages. Most overlook this guy. St. John of God has the same feast day and John seems more important. March 8th is also my birthday. Every Dominican sister from my kindergarten class to 8th grade at St.... (www.catholic365.com)

I often think about what brings people to Church. I do so in response to Pope Francis' invitation to participate in The Call To A New Evangelization. Of course, there are as many ways to bring people to Church as there are people. My personal role as a member of the Pastoral Council at our paris... (www.catholic365.com)

During Women's History Month, Whom Better to Celebrate Than the Mother of God?
