Finding The Gold

It's so easy to find a million flaws in someone, or to find reasons to dislike someone. It's easy to disagree with someone, or put someone down. It's so easy to encounter someone who speaks another language, is from another country, has different beliefs, or has a different opinion than we do and di... (www.catholic365.com)

Faith of Our Fathers: Following The Path Vocation Or Creating A Crutch? Do we really need so many Eucharistic Ministers?

Almost every Church in the United States has them. They help out in every service and many times help out every day of the week. How can such a help be a problem? How can something like this be a problem if people do not recognize it as such?... (www.catholic365.com)

Faith and Works

Many of us do not know intimately someone who is homeless, someone whose body is disfigured, someone who is undocumented, or one who had to grow up too soon and support his brothers and sisters, but we all know one who may have been bullied, or may have secret sorrows, or is forced into an adult rol...

The Principle of Double Effect Part 3: The Intention

The person intends the good effect to happen but does not intend the bad effect to happen; he/she merely allows or has knowledge that the bad effect will happen. The idea of ‘intention’ is arguably the most well-known and most important aspect in understanding PDE, for it focuses directly on the per... (www.catholic365.com)

I love mysteries. I’ve written one, and another is in progress, and I have read hundreds of mysteries over the years. I cut my teeth on Sherlock Holmes and own several collections of the tales including the ultra-nerdy annotated version. This is probably why I am not fond of “sequels” or most of ...

Giving Footprint

I’m always looking for ways to—borrowing a phrase from the environmentalists— improve my "giving footprint." In austere times, there comes a limit to how much in dollars and cents one can give and there’s certainly a limit in terms of time—but if one is creative there are many ways to enhance our c...

Waiting for God's Plan: Venerable Catherine McAuley

Being one who is prone to all kinds of painful anxiety, and who lives with daughters who are prone to painful anxiety (and then I feel anxious about their anxiety, and they get anxious that they’re causing me anxiety–some days it’s like living in a pack of over-caffeinated toy poodles…)–well, any qu...

The Lesson of Rottng Cabbage

As soon as I opened the refrigerator door I knew something was wrong. Rotten, actually. But I was already late for work, so I grabbed my lunch and darted out the front door. My wife was out of town visiting family, so I planned to take care of the rotted whatever-it-was when I returned later that n... (www.catholic365.com)

Scapegoats Steal Christ's Job

Every society, every culture has a tradition of a scapegoat, someone to blame and punish for the sin of that particular society. It follows then that in the beginning of the spiritual life we are when confronted with our own sinfulness and those around us, we are conditioned to act like the scapegoa... (www.catholic365.com)

Christ's the King

So a couple of weeks ago I came across a blog that is also Catholic (there are lots out there, don't let secular society make you think there aren't!) and the author had a post encouraging her followers to be Christ-like. Now she seems really authentic and sweet, not that I've ever met her, and it i... (www.catholic365.com)

It's a Blunderful Church

A few weeks ago during Sunday Mass, the intercessory prayers we say right after the Creed were proceeding as usual. But then the Lector said, “And for all those who are sick of this parish, we pray to the Lord.”... (www.catholic365.com)

Aaron actually showed interest in using scissors today. It's the little things that are big things around here. The little are big. The upside down kingdom that we live in, that Jesus lives in. Don't worry. We don't need big things. We are good with it. In fact, it's how we like it.... (www.catholic365.com)

Mass: the Ultimate Hour of Power

When we go to Mass this Sunday, will we go just to fulfill our Sunday obligation? Will we go half- heartedly, if we go at all, and just wade through the motions, our minds adrift in far-away thoughts and distractions. Will we mindlessly recite the prayers and Psalms, sing the songs with no real hear... (www.catholic365.com)

Faith of Our Fathers: One Of The Greatest Mysteries of The Church- The Body and Blood Of Christ- Shouldn't We Have Both?

Today we are going to address four issues concerning the Eucharist (What is it? Why do we take it? When should we take it? How should we take it? ) After these questions we should all have a much deeper understanding of not only our Catholic faith, but one of the most essential mysteries of our Chur...

The Early Christian Martyrs Compel Us to Pray and Love Unceasingly

In our day and age, we can no longer presume we will not be asked to suffer martyrdom. Christianity and adhering to the Truth Christ reveals is becoming an increasingly dangerous way of life to live in America and throughout the world. With this ever in Her mind, the Church is wise to hold up for us... (www.catholic365.com)

What Was the Question Again?

Am I good enough? Just yesterday, I was reflecting on two words--Perfect and Holy. Found in Scripture is the request by God to be Perfect I am Perfect or in another translation, ‘to be Holy as I am Holy. For the Scriptures say, "You must be holy because I am ... ”You shall be holy, for I am holy” ..... (www.catholic365.com)

"We-Time" Is Better Than "Me-Time"

Having a family can feel like you need to give of yourself twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. This is true whether you spend most of your waking hours at your career or at home with the kids. And yet, this feeling is not limited to family life. It is part of the life of service to which ev...

The Finest Thing I've Ever Known

Why is all Christian writing the same? Why does everybody always think that their interpretation is the most profound? Why can't people be real? I always feel like I'm reading from the same old script with the same old rehashed lessons. The same trite life advice and cheesy prosperity stories.... (www.catholic365.com)

When you are through changing, you are through.

As contemporary disciples, we are invited to think “outside the box”. Pope Francis is inviting us to see life differently. The Spirit is alive in our midst! The Church is a community of believers! Our liturgical prayer invites and requires our full and active participation! Our Baptism calls eve... (www.catholic365.com)
