Lilacs, Rwanda, Immacule and Women's Inner Strength

Have you noticed the lilac bushes are in bloom? In the Midwest every spring in early May the streets and yards are lined with beautiful purple fragrant lilacs. Perhaps you grew up with a Common lilac, Persian lilac, Dwarf Korean variety, Himalayan, Chinese lilac or even a lilac tree.... (www.catholic365.com)

God Refuses Only The Person Who Does Not Admit His Own Weakness; He Sends Away Only The Unhappy, Proud Person.

The proud person is like a grain of wheat thrown into water: it swells, it gets big. Expose that grain to the fire: it dries up, it burns. The humble soul is like a grain of wheat thrown into the earth: it descends, it hides itself, it disappears, it dies; but to revive in heaven. --Blessed Mary of ... (www.catholic365.com)

Becoming What We Receive

I think sometimes it's easy to take things for granted. We as Catholic's go to Mass each week. And most probably don't think much of what happens when we receieve Jesus' body and blood. Jesus gave us His own body and blood. He says, "Take and eat, this is my body."... (www.catholic365.com)

If it weren't for the hypocrisy of Christians.

Christians are hypocrites. They go to church on Sunday and say they love God and neighbor but every other day of the week they act exactly the opposite! If it weren't for Christians, I could be Christian!" I heard this during some spirited and enjoyable conversations with family and friends this p... (www.catholic365.com)

Analysis of a Conversion - Why I left the Catholic Church, other Catholics

I've heard this one before from Protestants. Many of us don't give a very good example of Christian living. Look at the Kennedys. Our beloved President, John F. Kennedy, flaunted his affairs before the whole world. Our Supreme Court is mostly Catholic. Have they overturned Rowe vs Wade? No. If anyth... (www.catholic365.com)

Faith of Our Fathers: The Trojan Horse No One Is Talking About

Metaphorically speaking a "Trojan Horse" has come to mean any trick or stratagem that causes a target to invite a foe into a securely protected bastion or place. Could it be possible that we are facing this exact same problem with the greatest humanitarian problem facing the world since World War ... (www.catholic365.com)

14,000 Rally Captains Prepare for the 2015 Public Square Rosary Crusade

Do You Carry an Assault Weapon?

It was a question asked recently by Fr. William Casey at the 2015 Marian Conference in Scottsdale, Arizona. Clearly, it got the attention of attendees. Father William Casey, from the Fathers of Mercy Congregation in Auburn, Kentucky, is a fiery speaker often seen on EWTN during the Lenten Season, wh... (www.catholic365.com)

Creative Ways to Manage Household Finances and Rely on Faith

Each month as the household bills come rolling in and we watch the scale tip; too much money going out and not enough coming in – it can be a hard pill to swallow. It is emotionally draining, pounding on the ego, frustrating and very easy to become envious of what others have and doubting of decisi... (www.catholic365.com)

Your Presence is Requested

Recent medical research has shown, statistically, that post-operative hospital patients who experience frequent or prolonged visits from concerned family members or friends (even in compassionate silence) will recuperate far more rapidly than patients with few or no visitors during their convalescen...

He that does good for good's sake seeks neither paradise nor reward, but he is sure of both in the end.

While I may be stung temporarily by the slight or carelessness of others, I can refocus on the true purpose of my actions and remind myself that my Father knows my name and what I am doing. It is not about me, rather about serving Him and serving Him with love and gratitude!... (www.catholic365.com)

Celebrating Our Roots

Grandparents Day is a fairly new secular holiday, only having been on the calendar since 1978, celebrated in the U.S. during the month of September set aside to recognize some very special folks who help shape our lives. This year this day was a little bittersweet for me. My own Grandmas and Grandpa... (www.catholic365.com)

I prayed: “Lord, help me to know and do Your will.” He said: “Katie, be My will.” Hmm. That’s interesting. Instead of making a To-Do List, I’ve decided to make a To-Be List. It’s particularly for those twenty-something’s out there, just like me, wondering who on earth they’re supposed to be.... (www.catholic365.com)

He loved me first. That’s a remarkable statement considering I’m a sinner. God loved me first. He chose me first before I even knew Him. I know this to be true because my soul affirms it and scripture attests to it: “We love because he first loved us,” (1 John 4:19). I was known by God before I kne... (www.catholic365.com)

Faith of Our Fathers: The Conundrum Revealed: They Have The Holiday, We Have The Books, They Have Neither

What is he talking about here? How could this be possible? Is there something logically wrong with the foundation of our faith? Now is the time to look at this problem. The only trouble is that few if any people realize that it is even a problem. So today I admonish you to stand and up and ready for... (www.catholic365.com)

Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing

It’s not about circumstances. Being born poor or being born rich will not determine whether we get to heaven or not. I was born middle class – where would that put me? Neither here nor there? A poor person could still end up in Hell or a rich one in heaven based on choices. The rich man who is greed... (www.catholic365.com)

Millstones For Sale - One Size Fits All

In the Gospel reading at Mass for the weekend of Sept 25th and 26th, Jesus issues this warning: “Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a great millstone were put around his neck and he were thrown into the sea.”... (www.catholic365.com)

How Do You Make Your Calling Sure - by Faith Alone, or by Faith and Works?

What does it mean to make one's calling and election sure? St. Peter uses this phrase, "make your calling and election sure" in his 2nd epistle.

Of Mice and Women

I’ve officially declared war on the four legged varmints who have managed to get inside the workings of my van, twice, and done enough damage to force me to spend hundreds of dollars to repair what they have wrecked. So why is it when the kids kept pointing out the little baby mice that had nested i... (www.catholic365.com)
