Faith makes things possible, not easy.

I will go peaceably and firmly to the Catholic Church: for if Faith is so important to our salvation, I will seek it where true Faith first began, seek it among those who received it from God Himself. ~St. Elizabeth Ann Seton S.C., (1774 – 1821: The first native-born citizen of the United States to ...

There is a crack in everything; that's how the light gets in

In his song, Anthem, Leonard Cohen uses the refrain, “There is a crack in everything; that’s how the light gets in.” Whatever else Leonard Cohen had in mind when he coined that phrase, it says something about how wisdom, compassion, and morality seep into our lives.... (www.catholic365.com)

Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. A... (www.catholic365.com)

What I Learned from the Early Christians about Spiritual Growth, Part 4: We Need to Struggle

A few years ago I was leading my seminarians through a study of the ascetic teachings of some of the Early Church Fathers. One of the seminarians raised his hand and asked a question born of a mixture of deep perplexity, hope, and fear. “According to the Fathers,” he asked, “Is there any way for a...

I believe it is very important that we should all understand the Sacraments. Because it is in the Sacraments that we are juistified by faith, apart from works. I've spoken to too many Catholics who speak as though the only way to be justified is by faith AND works. Whereas it is clear, that God j... (www.catholic365.com)

She Made People Smile

When it comes to our opinions of someone else, haven’t we all, at one time or another, made assumptions based on fear rather than logic? Because we did not know or understand his person well enough, they must be undesirable and therefore not to be included in our inner circles. They must be shunned ... (www.catholic365.com)

We are constantly tempted to reduce the Eucharist to our own dimensions, while in reality it is we who must open ourselves up to the dimensions of the Mystery.
