Who Would Listen to a Reformed Bad Girl?

I am the mother of dead children who never made it past birth, which is a different status from those who have children still running around on the earth or who lost children at young ages. Parents like me are not given the same respect, which is not said as a means to gather sympathy; rather, I am ... (www.catholic365.com)

Why FOCUS Is So Important

Before coming to college, I didn't have a personal relationship with Christ. I knew what it meant to be a Christian and Catholic, but that's about the extent of it. I was born and raised Catholic and attended Catholic school kindergarden through seventh grade.... (www.catholic365.com)

The first time I actually thought about being in a fishing boat in a raging storm with Christ asleep on a cushion, was during a meditation given on that Gospel passage shortly after I converted to Christian Catholicism. The Legionnaire priest giving the meditation guaranteed my undivided attention ... (www.catholic365.com)

Just Offer It UP

I got home late last night after attending a leadership meeting at our Parish. We are on the verge of a revival of sorts after a long line of unfortunate events that should have shut us down. I keep looking at the events as they unfold in the spiritual sense, as everything that happens to us has me... (www.catholic365.com)

The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak.

“People who pride themselves on their "complexity" and deride others for being "simplistic" should realize that the truth is often not very complicated. What gets complex is evading the truth.” – Thomas Sowell: (American economist, social theorist and author)... (www.catholic365.com)

So a few days back I was talking with my cousin and somehow the topic of heaven came up. I told him that I want to see what the Saints see when they die- I want the Beatific Vision, which, just to put us all on the same page, is the direct communication of God to the individual person (ie heaven in ...

What I Learned from the Early Christians about Spiritual Growth, Part 6: We need the Truth

Human beings all have differing intellectual capabilities. Some excel at book learning, some learn by observing nature, and still others learn by doing. Some learn new ideas and come to new thoughts quickly. Others, who are just as intelligent, process information at a slower pace. These differences... (www.catholic365.com)

A Change of Perspective

Today’s Gospel reading was the parable about the talents and the sin of omission, so when the boys brought in buckets and buckets of apples this morning, I could hardly ignore them. It would have been a sin to waste so much good fruit, even if they aren’t the prettiest apples in the world.... (www.catholic365.com)

Except A Man Be Born

In preparing to write this story of my spiritual journey in, from and back to the Catholic Church my mind weighed several ways to begin this text. Being a fan of the works of Charles Dickens the first words that came to mind was the opening chapter of “David Copperfield”…”Chapter 1: I am born”.... (www.catholic365.com)

Making A Diference

To leave our rural valley in northern Nevada, we drive for about thirty minutes. Upon turning north on the freeway, after about fifteen minutes or so, we pass a bulletin board on the left asking about one person making a difference. The caption is written over a huge image of Nelson Mandela. The oth... (www.catholic365.com)

Be Willing to Forgive

In 1981 our Blessed Mother began appearing to a small group of children in the remote village of Kibeho. Mary and Jesus warned the children of the holocaust that would happen unless Rwandans opened their hearts to God and began loving one another. These prophetic visions came true in 1994....

Embracing Our Weaknesses

I created it: I know its weakness. These words spoken by my little boy have me pondering them in relation to our humanity and our Creator. It brings to mind the Tenet "Essence before Existence"; the teaching that each and every one of us was in the Heart and Mind of God before the world was created.... (www.catholic365.com)

"God is not only true, but Truth itself" - Pope Leo XIII. What is truth? Pontius Pilot asked asked that question to Jesus. Was he being rhetorical? Or was he really searching for the truth? If it's the latter, then he missed the Truth standing right in front of him.... (www.catholic365.com)

Leasing The Light

For some of us, our whole life is wrapped around a strong desire for faith and sacrifice. We spend our time searching for ways to provide for our families and for ourselves. We tend to lose track of it as it becomes more and more elusive. I can remember not so long ago when I prayed that the day si... (www.catholic365.com)

The Colors of the Spirit

There are certain people who go through the world with a sense of awe. These people are able to see past the mundane and find beauty in almost everything. They are captivated by the intersection of lines and shadows. They do not see just a building or a painting or a sunset. They see a symphony of c... (www.catholic365.com)

The Story of A Student

I go to a small Catholic liberal arts college (in the tradition of the Sisters of Notre Dame) called Notre Dame College, also known as NDC, which is twenty minutes away from downtown Cleveland. It sounds like it’d be an easy choice, right? Not so much. I actually needed divine intervention to make t... (www.catholic365.com)

Five things many people say about the Catholic Church that are lies

Knowing it and seeing it are two different things.

God appears to us all the time, in every moment – always waiting to save, always knocking at the door of our hearts, begging to be let in – if only we would make room and let him in. Look around… A pal or neighbor says a word that “hits home,” or some graffiti on the side of a truck that goes by, p... (www.catholic365.com)

His Mom Is Your Mom, Too

You need to know Jesus personally, both as our majestic King and our intimate Friend. He is God, the Creator and Lover of our souls. But you are also invited to have a personal relationship with Mary, for not only is she the Queen Mother of King Jesus -- the mother of God -- she is your mother, too... (www.catholic365.com)
