Pet Peeves From the Pews

In actuality, these points I’m about to bring up are not so trivial as to be called “pet peeves”, but that general classification will do for now. There are certain actions that I see even in our parish here in the Philippines, where reverence for the things of God is generally a way of life.... (www.catholic365.com)

Love to the loveless shown

God’s love for you and for me is so great that at the lowest point in our lives, at the moment when we have found ourselves to be the most despicable, in a time of bitter and tragic failure when weakness and sin had all but annihilated us or when we have done inestimable harm to others—at precisely ...

At the Crossroads of Sin, Forgiveness, and Mercy

Regularity and routine fill our lives with ease and comfort. We’re content to wake up each day, knowing what it will bring. It’s no wonder then that the prayer we recite the most regularly during Mass, The Our Father, is spoken in monotone voices.... (www.catholic365.com)

What is wrong with being judgmental?

The modern culture can be manipulative at projecting ideas through words. In this sense, they can change people’s concept of a word through clever marketing. A slogan going around today churned up by the pop culture is: “don’t be so judgmental.”... (www.catholic365.com)

Do You Go to Mass every Week? Well Good, but That is NOT What It's All About

Are you one of those Catholics who practices the Faith by going to Mass or “Church’ every Sunday? Do you then leave Mass and not have much thought about God again until the next Sunday?... (www.catholic365.com)

St. John of the Cross Poetry Reflection Part 4 The Spiritual Canticle

Christ, the bridegroom, responds to his bride. He is fulfilling the bride's deepest desire, of which she spoke of at the end of her discourse in the last reflection "as she rests in delight in the sweet garden of her desire." The imagery St. John of the Cross uses to describe this is very intimate, ... (www.catholic365.com)

But...did you love me?

I had such a beautiful, inspiring, and love-filled weekend. Valentine’s Day can do that to you, yeah. But now it's time to get down to the reality of things. How do I share that love with others?... (www.catholic365.com)

I love reading the prophetic books of the Old Testament as well as the sole prophetic book of the New: Revelation. Most of God’s dealings through the Prophets was with the nation and people of Israel. However, many times there is not only a temporal meaning to the verses but also a spiritual one. Th...

The Second Station of the Cross: A Mercy Reflection

Although I hadn’t really thought about it until I started writing this reflection, I realize now how strongly I have been influenced by years of experiencing Franciscan meditations during Lenten Stations of the Cross devotions.... (www.catholic365.com)

Christ, the Rebel

As surprising and blasphemous as it might sound, Jesus Christ was a rebel. He was someone who always maintained his integrity, was compassionate toward others, a healer, and a reconciler. What makes Him a rebel is how He lived.... (www.catholic365.com)

He who rejects change is the architect of decay. The only human institution which rejects progress is the cemetery.

In this Gospel, God chooses to use an unlikely candidate to show His power and mercy. A possessed wild man that people undoubtedly avoided and probably feared by his community made for an odd choice. My thoughts on the reading is that Christ can choose anyone, no matter how society judges that perso... (www.catholic365.com)

Did the Catholic Church give us the Bible?

In everyday speech, “Sacred Scripture” is used interchangeably with, “the Bible”. And in most contexts, there is no problem with that. But not in this one. Because the Catholic Church certainly gave us the Bible, but the Catholic Church did not give us all of Sacred Scripture.... (www.catholic365.com)

Rediscover Jesus Day 1

Starting each Lenten journey is in fact a new beginning. It is a chance to slow down re-evaluate, consider and ponder the state of our spiritual life. At least that how it is for me. I always have such high expectations that just because it is Lent, I will somehow magically be able to overcome the... (www.catholic365.com)

Today, at Confession, I was challenged. Not to think of my sins, which came to mind far too easily. Not to confess them, though I was hesitant to say out loud how I'd failed God recently. No, my challenge came in the form of the penance.... (www.catholic365.com)

The One Thing Necessary

If left to me, I will always choose the easy road. Because, well… it’s easier. When I stumble across that fork in life’s pathways, I am usually inclined to head toward rainbows, and French fries, and bubble baths- as opposed to hair shirts, sacrificing the butter on my toast, and hard workouts....

How to heal a frozen heart

We are the poor, the needy, the captives and the blind

We need to look at ourselves and understand that in so many ways, we are the poor. What was your life like before you were seized by Jesus Christ? What would it be like if you rejected Him?... (www.catholic365.com)
