Life is a very narrow bridge between two eternities.

As we begin this year of 2016, let’s ask ourselves, what will I do this year to get ready for eternal life?... (www.catholic365.com)

The Real Good Shepherd

I don’t know about you, but “shepherd” was not an option in my high school career aptitude test. That makes sense as, come to think of it, there really aren’t any job openings in metro Detroit for sheep herders. With so little experience I have a misguided view of what a shepherd really is and does.... (www.catholic365.com)

So I’m reading again through Revelation and I stopped at the first sentences in chapter three. “‘I know your deeds,” Jesus said to the church at Sardis, “that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead. Wake up, and strengthen the things that remain, which were about to die . . ..”... (www.catholic365.com)

The Alarm Clock and the Monastery

This morning I was ironing a shirt when I thought about St. Benedict. The nuns at the monastery where I go on retreat bow to one another as they begin their chapel services. I always thought that was just one more thing they did, until, years after I began going there, one of them explained that the... (www.catholic365.com)

The Storeroom of Christ, the Catholic Church

A storeroom is sort of like a closet. A place where people keep all sorts of stuff that they want or need. Some of it is new, like my new boots that I’ve been wanting to wear, but its been too wet and I don’t want to get them messed up.... (www.catholic365.com)

Christ is Our Hope for this Extraordinary Year of Mercy

When we become fearful and discouraged, we must remember that Satan was at his strongest when he "killed God". Satan must have laughed when he saw Jesus die on the Cross, and thought in pride that all of humanity and the world had been won for himself. Yet, Satan's 'ultimate victory' in Christ's de...

He who knows how to forgive prepares for himself many graces from God.

The epistle of St. John has strong words to say about loving God and neighbor. It is a variation of the Lord’s commandment to love God with our entire being and to love neighbor as oneself. These always go together. Humanly speaking, it is easier to love God for all the ways we have been blessed. Go... (www.catholic365.com)

An Extra Day! How will you spend (or invest!) it?

In this Jubilee Year of Mercy, we have been given an extra day to receive the Mercy of the Lord--in receiving His Precious Body and Blood, in receiving His healing forgiveness in the Sacrament of Reconciliation, in performing spiritual and corporal works of mercy, and in countless other ways!...

The Sacraments of Healing

What is sin, and what is hell? For many, sin is visualized as a heinous act which only bad people commit, while many of the ‘little’ sins committed on a daily basis are not really sins but just good old Catholic guilt meant to keep the pews filled. As far as a visualization of Hell, many (without kn... (www.catholic365.com)

Down with authority or down with acting?

Most people tend to think that Jesus doesn’t like authority and that he came to take down the authority of traditional religion. After all look how Jesus treated the Jewish authority of the day – the Pharisees and Scribes. But, let’s look closer at what is going on here in order to see what Jesus is... (www.catholic365.com)

The proof of love is in the works. Where love exists, it works great things. But when it ceases to act, it ceases to exist.

Our Christian life is not primarily about being politically correct or religiously correct, not about being perfect in following every rule or in performing religious duties flawlessly. Our Christian life is about being loving people. And the source of that love is God, not ourselves.... (www.catholic365.com)

A Legacy from my Recusant Past

On the day when Pope Benedict first used the Internet ‘to tweet’, he was asked by one of his respondents, how can married people, living such busy lives, find time for prayer? He replied –“By offering everything that is said and done each day to God.” First thoughts on waking each morning he said s... (www.catholic365.com)

No Down Time for Filipino Catholics

As I write this we have just celebrated the Feast of the Epiphany and the official end of the Christmas season on January 6th. For most non-Catholics, and even for many Catholics as well, there is a big down time between Christmas and Easter when there are no big holidays. But that’s not the case h... (www.catholic365.com)

Not Just One Day!

Catholic Church pews sit empty. Confessionals are deserted. Young Catholics are leaving the church trying to “find themselves” in other religions. Parish ministries are begging for volunteers.
