Beauty, Sex, and the "Market"

So this week, Sports Illustrated patted itself on the back for featuring a plus size model on its front cover. Ashley Graham is without a doubt, stunning. And yes, those of us on the “curvalicious” end of the spectrum are silently cheering.... (www.catholic365.com)

Whoa--Just What Got Opened?!!

Did a keg of worms get opened by the blog on Healing in the Name of Jesus? No, hopefully, what was opened were eyes, and hearts to something not seen before.

The Bond of RCIA

In 2011, I volunteered to be on the Rite of Christian Initiation team with my friend Sue. We agreed that Wednesday nights would be time well spent with our RCIA Coordinator, Walter. We met at the library in our Catholic School. Before the yearlong program began, I was at my neighbor Bonnie’s.... (www.catholic365.com)

God gives each one of us sufficient grace ever to know His holy will, and to do it fully.

In the passage from the prophet Isaiah, God compares the grace He sends us to the rain and snow which water the earth, making it fertile and fruitful, and giving us food. Grace is "the free and undeserved help that God gives us to respond to His call" (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1996).... (www.catholic365.com)

Giving Up Sarcasm For Lent? Yeah, Right!

In Lents past I've given up Facebook, sweets, coffee, and other simple life pleasures. This year I’m giving up sarcasm, and I’m serious.

What the Catholic Church Is...And Is Not

If you read the Facebook comments on the articles published here one of the things you’ll find is folks who profess to be Catholic but seem to have a strange idea of what that word means. They also seem to have different notions about the nature of the Church established by the Lord Jesus Christ and... (www.catholic365.com)

Resurrection Evidence: It's Effect on Saul of Tarsus

There was one more Post-Resurrection appearance of Jesus Christ of which we are given testimony, and its source bears stark witness to its ultimate reality.

Learning about Faith from the Shadows

Shadows may give us a little insight into the theological virtue of faith. In a shadow we have evidence of things unseen. Scientists use the observation of a shadow on the moon during an eclipse to begin a search for the substantive event causing the eclipse.... (www.catholic365.com)

Your "hail Mary's" are no more effective than your Hail Michelle Obama's

A while back I posted a picture of St. Rocco (a statue from St. Therese Chinese Catholic Church) on my Facebook page. I told the story of how my leg was bothering me one morning and how I randomly prayed to him (and Hail Mary-ed) my way through my pain.... (www.catholic365.com)

Out of the Mouths of Babes: "I already did!"

After another night in which our toddler cried, tugging at his ears, our family doctor recommended we take him to an ear specialist. Stunned by the results of the ear examination, we heard the news that our son had two punctured ear drums.... (www.catholic365.com)

If we recognize Jesus under the appearance of bread we will have no difficulty recognizing him in the disguise of the suffering poor.

Historically, there have been many disputes between Protestants and Catholics about the role of faith, and the role of good works, in the life of the Christian. By which do we enter heaven? The Catholic Church, from the first century, to the sixteenth century, to today, has taught that—if you make i... (www.catholic365.com)

Want to do God's will? Listen up.

No, that does not mean listen to me. Listen to God. (although you can continue reading too) It’s God’s will that you are seeking to accomplish. We cannot just start doing and think or hope that it is God’s will, just because what we are doing seems good.... (www.catholic365.com)

Resurrection Evidence: Eye Witness Accounts Part 2

What happened in Jerusalem seven weeks after the first Easter could have taken place only if Jesus' body were somehow missing from Joseph's tomb, for otherwise the Temple establishment, in its imbroglio with the Apostles, would simply have aborted the movement by making a brief trip over to the sepu...
