The Substance of God's Plan Part 1

We concluded the article “The Shadow of God’s Plan” with the promise given to Israel through Jeremiah that He was going to do a New Covenant with them. Verses 21 -32 tells us that this Covenant would be different from the Mosaic Covenant that the people had broken.... (www.catholic365.com)

Life is always easier when lived for others, and living for others is the best way I know to live for yourself.

Power, wisely and compassionately exercised enables authority to be manifested so that good may eventuate. But if power is exercised in a shallow or self-centered manner and used so that one’s own will prevails at the expense of others’ legitimate needs, then we have entered the territory that Jesus...

Finding the Beauty in Submission

Having a husband in the military means our family has done a great deal of traveling over the years. As a result we’ve attended Mass in so many parishes I’ve nearly lost track of a solid number.

The Open Arms of God

A man at a bar surprised his drinking partner by saying that he had decided to become a minister. His friend laughed and told him that he'd be a hopelessly incompetent clergyman, and bet him that he couldn't even recite the most well-known prayer, the Lord's Prayer.... (www.catholic365.com)

God wants to lead you to places you cannot get to without Him, and He does that by the power of His Spirit.

Twice in this Gospel passage, God the Holy Spirit is referred to.

The Church has had to combat such denial throughout h... (www.catholic365.com)

On this Feast of All Souls, Prayer FOR the Dead

The Protestant object that we should not pray for the dead. They claim that those dead who are in heaven, don't need it. And those dead who are in hell, don't want it. And they deny the existence of Purgatory. How do we respond? Have you ever thought about why you pray for your beloved dead?... (www.catholic365.com)

Raise people up so they can hear God

Giving thanks to God can be easy when everything in the world or our lives is going grand. However, we forget at those happy times to give thanks to God. It is easier to say that God is not needed today because everything is going grand in the world.... (www.catholic365.com)

An Attitude of Prayer

One of the hardest things we do as Christians is to carry our faith out of our churches and out of our homes and into the ordinary, mundane events that make up daily life. Ordinary, mundane, and in our modern world, often irritating, frustrating events that can make us lose our cool.... (www.catholic365.com)

A Personal Encounter With the Communion of Saints

I don’t want to argue about the reality of the communion of saints, both the living and the dead. I just want to encourage believers and seekers with the thought that there are tens, hundreds, why maybe thousands of saints, most of whom we will never meet, who pray for us, who are in communion with...

Forgiveness - A Critical Test for Every Christian
