What part do I play?

For cradle Catholics we have heard the words, “The Body of Christ” since we were very young. For others, maybe it started with their conversion. It is through our Baptism that we become members of this Body. For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body… (1 Corinthians 12:13). Through bapt... (www.catholic365.com)

Why We Refer to Our Priests as Fathers?

How many times are we told "Don't call your priest a Father, it is a sin"? The people that question Catholics mostly for this reason of why we refer to our Priests as Fathers, [they] tend to quote from St. Matthew 23:6-11... (www.catholic365.com)

We are free to choose our paths, but we can't choose the consequences that come with them.

In the Gospel, we recall one of the parables of Jesus. Not one of his gentle parables but one of his most violent ones. A King destroys those who violently refuse to accept his invitation to his son’s wedding. Then, he has his servants go out and invite to the wedding feast whoever they find. The we...

They say the way is narrow and lined with rocks. It's narrow alright, and on either side, a terrifying chasm. It's a rickety bridge of ropes and broken boards, And at the canyon's bottom, sharp rocks and rushing water,... (www.catholic365.com)

My hometown is blessed with many Catholic churches, including Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church. I have attended mass at this church most of my life, beginning at my baptism soon after birth.

What is Cowardice?

I was at a job fair for my company a few days ago. One of the employees from the company, who we will call Alice, just got done doing an interview with a very hopeful prospect. The only thing that is a potential issue is that he has a lot of tattoos; it is company policy that all tattoos must be cov... (www.catholic365.com)

The Lost Sheep Bringing Our Young Adults Back To Church?

It seems many churches are having issues keeping the 18 to 23 year old population participating in weekly Mass. It also seems that once they leave the Church, it is harder to bring them back. So what is the Church supposed to do?... (www.catholic365.com)

You have not lived today until you have done something for someone who can never repay you.

God’s justice is measured by His own desire that everyone receive the fullness of His love. There are not various degrees of that love. It is always 100 percent. God is Love; he cannot not love and he cannot not love totally. He cannot and will not give more of that love to one than another.... (www.catholic365.com)

Thomas More and King Henry

We were assigned to read the two act play by the woman who ran the English department at the small Catholic college in Houston where I had been granted a scholarship, much to the amusement of friends and family because I had declared myself an atheist at eighteen.... (www.catholic365.com)

In a Word: Perspective

The other day, I was walking down a sunny avenue in Chicago, and as I turned the corner I saw a rose bush. And guess what…I stopped to smell the roses.They smelled wonderful – pearl-pink and in full bloom. A passing car honked, drawing me out of the momentary reverie. I straightened and walked on wi...

Conversion, constant conversion, is the message of the Gospel.

A relationship based primarily on physical beauty or lust would fade, as does our youth. God, he reminded them, “did not call us to impurity, but to holiness.” If you ignore this, you ignore the wishes of God.... (www.catholic365.com)

What I Learned From the Early Christians about Spiritual Growth Part 5: We Don't Need as Much Stuff as We Think

Some time around AD 245 there lived in the Roman city of Carthage a man named Cyprian, a wealthy, important man with a talent for rhetoric. His impressive personal gifts, along with the accident of his birth, ensured that he would prosper in pagan society, and he became enormously wealthy. He also f... (www.catholic365.com)

Faith Of Our Fathers: Is Using Latin In A Traditional Mass A Non Sequitur Argument?

There is a problem in the Church today. This problem deals with the vast amount of people who are either leaving or have left the Church. This Mass exodus is biblical in proportion and some of the solutions are clearly non sequitur arguments. It is interesting to use Latin when discussing the Latin ... (www.catholic365.com)

Thinking About Thinking

As a recovering bibliophile, I made a promise to myself to read each of the books purchased in the last decade or two and am now making my way through After Virtue by Alasdair MacIntyre. Despite the density of the philosopher’s prose, reading this book is bringing me back to a place I once knew well... (www.catholic365.com)

The Church vs Gay Marriage

How many of you get called stupid, bigot, old school for standing with the correct definition of marriage? Isn't it amazing that liberalism preaches about welcoming all people and all opinions, but yet they seem to hate our ideologies and beliefs...apparently all opinions and beliefs are welcome unt...

You must be careful: don't let your professional success or failure — which will certainly come — make you forget, even for a moment, what the true aim of your work is: the glory of God!

But Jesus does suggest too that so often in life generosity and self-sacrifice are returned to the one who gives. We have all experienced this I am sure – love begets love, generosity begets generosity and we find that what we give is so often returned in excess to us. Perhaps in different ways, per...

Believe in Miracles

“Give me an army saying the Rosary and I will conquer the world.” - (Pope Blessed Pius IX) Everyone loves a good miracle, yet I find today so many of us do not believe. We have stopped expecting the Holy Spirit to act. I find myself some days also needing hope in moments of despair, and it is then ... (www.catholic365.com)

Nature Never Forgives?

The quote attributed to Pope Frances saying, “God always forgives, man sometimes forgives, but nature never forgives…” seems very apropos today. The whole concept of forgiveness is a rather celestial one. From debt forgiveness to nature’s revenge, what can we take away from this assessment?... (www.catholic365.com)

Ten Reasons to Attend Daily Morning Mass

Daily Mass is like the time that the risen Lord cooked fish on a charcoal fire and served bread to the apostles on the beach. John 21:12 Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” He wants to feed you, too! He loves you so much, He wants to become a part of you, and to give you daily bread. What...
