Getting Personal: On Money and Mission

I know speaking of money matters is generally taboo. Private and sensitive. Nonetheless, I'm moved to share this as encouragement to many of you whom I know are beleaguered by the weight of money matters. Who perhaps lie awake, haunted by crippling fear. Who do not feel like you're able to do what y... (www.catholic365.com)

St. Michael, Defend Us in Battle

Have you ever heard of the “Prayer to Saint Michael”? Many generations of Catholics recited this prayer at the end of every Mass. But beginning in the 1960s we stopped saying the prayer. (Hmm, we stopped doing a lot of holy and beneficial things beginning in the 1960s. Just sayin’.)... (www.catholic365.com)

The Fear of Looking Foolish

Countless things in this world influence us everyday. However, there is one thing we let rule our lives more than we know: fear. It doesn’t take long to come up with a few examples.... (www.catholic365.com)

Politics, it seems to me, for years, or all too long, has been concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong.

The world can be a scary place. It is true today as it was four thousand years ago in the time of Samuel the prophet. The Hebrew people had occupied the Promised Land, more or less. They were united in language and in their shared experience of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. But they lived in... (www.catholic365.com)

"The Catholic Church burned bibles" and other anti-Catholic half-truths

Yes, yes, it’s true. Before I continue, make sure that you are sitting down. Because this may come as a shock. Hush. Let me whisper this to you. “The Catholic Church burned bibles.” Gasp!... (www.catholic365.com)

And so we know the world to be our common home, and like any other home we find the most useful observation to concern the family and the occupants of that home. If it is a mess, if there are clothes on the living room floor and dishes in the dresser drawer, we know who is to blame for the chaos of ... (www.catholic365.com)

…deliver us from evil….

Having prayed the Rosary, at least one set of mysteries, and sometimes more than one set of mysteries, just about every day since my “conversion (head-on-crash-with-a-pick-up truck) experience” twenty-five years ago, I conservatively guesstimate that I have said (admittedly, not consciously prayed) ...

The non-existent problem of female altar servers

In the various Catholic-oriented Facebook groups I'm in, sometimes the issue of female altar servers comes up. In reading the threads in these groups, it appears there are some close-minded, far-right-wing conservatives who specifically blame the priest shortage on the practice in the U.S. of female...

God never tires of forgiving us; we are the ones who tire of seeking his mercy.

It's Not Too Early to Start Thinking About Lent!

This year, Lent begins on February 10. For many of us, that date is not even close to the front of our minds. Between now and then, several other liturgical events—as well as events in our own lives—take a high priority. So, it is easy to let the coming of Lent slip by the wayside. In my own life, I...

Prescription Two: Love Selflessly!

The greatest love story of all time can be told in one word: salvation. It is the word of Jesus Christ that “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” Therefore, Jesus – in the greatest demonstration of love —died for us to save us from our sins. Then he rose to n... (www.catholic365.com)

When we love someone, we reach a stage where we totally trust them without any fear or doubt. We give a part of ourselves to that person; we share our very soul. And in doing so, we become vulnerable and we weaken ourselves, willingly, for the sake of that person and the love we have for them.... (www.catholic365.com)

Prayer and action must always be profoundly united.

Today, we are clearly shown how Jesus split his working hours. On one hand He prayed and, on the other, He consecrated time to his mission of praying with words and deeds. Contemplation and Action. Prayer and Work. Being with God while amongst men.... (www.catholic365.com)

Why Prayers to the Queen Are the Will of God

If you're a stay-at-home parent, you know how much can happen from the time you and the kids wake up, until the time (Praise the Lord) your kids go down for a nap, if you're still being graced with one of those glorious break times. By the time I come around to relaxing and praying a rosary, I find ... (www.catholic365.com)
