Love to be real, it must cost—it must hurt—it must empty us of self.

Jesus calls us to look upon people (including the self) as God does. Jesus encourages us to turn away from the human tendency to idolize the self and let God be the one to execute judgment on his creations.... (www.catholic365.com)

The Bucket List

The concept of the 'bucket list' has always eluded me. For one, it strikes me as somewhat morbid to make an official list of things to accomplish prior to one's 'kicking the bucket'. And too, I always wonder what one does if they've achieved the list and still are quite alive. Do they create an... (www.catholic365.com)

Imagine you’re a person of authority in a Court of Law. The judge, the final arbiter, whatever you say happens. And they bring to you a man. He is fairly ordinary looking and they accuse Him of saying He is the Son of God.... (www.catholic365.com)

The Harvest of Salvation

Many modern Catholic theologians, and clergy, assert the world’s population has a reasonable assumption of reaching heaven. This theological viewpoint by nature runs over quite quickly into how they interact with the world through preaching, parish life and politics.... (www.catholic365.com)

The Fourth Station of the Cross: A Mercy Reflection

I wish I could name for you whoever the author or speaker was that first introduced me to the realization I am happy to share in this reflection.

The Gates of Hell Shall Not Prevail

As Catholics, we should rejoice that we are members of the only earthly institution that has been given a divine guarantee of success. In Matthew’s gospel, chapter 16, Jesus instituted the Church on the Rock of St. Peter, and then the Lord said about the Church, “The gates of Hell shall not prevail ... (www.catholic365.com)

There is no revenge so complete as forgiveness.

Even things that seem ‘little’ can take us away from God and his mercy. Sure, we can say, “Oh, I’ve never killed anyone or done anything horrible like that. I’m fine.” But have we ever ‘wished someone ill-will’? Jesus says that anger toward our brother takes us away from God as well.... (www.catholic365.com)

Real World Disconnect = Despair

Some people would say that we are more connected to the world than ever, but I wonder if this is bore out by reality. I heard a statistic this week that suicide is the third leading cause of death for teens. That information made me pause. Why would teens, in a world full of options, be choosing t...

Big Tents, Big Hearts, Small Worlds

My first exposure to Catholicism was through my aunt Thelma. My uncle Joe was Catholic also, but the image of Catholicism, for me, at an early age, was Aunt Thelma. I still have very clear images of her in the pews at St Mary of the Assumption. She was silent, attentive. My mother said she was devou... (www.catholic365.com)

Battle Prayer for Married Couples

There are a good number of married couples under attack right now. Of course they are. They have the audacity to live their call, to make God who is Love known. The Enemy doesn't like that. He hates Love. He hates God. He hates us. He whispers lies. He twists. He preys upon weakness.... (www.catholic365.com)
