Catholics, Prophecy, and the Signs of the Times

Just a few weeks ago I heard priest and theologian Father John Hampsch say that, “ Sixty three biblical prophecies regarding the second coming of Christ have been fulfilled within the last ten years. We are entering a time of unparalleled evil … “... (www.catholic365.com)

The Labyrinth of Life - A Reflection

Even though life may seem hard, with no direction at times, remember that even if we feel we have lost our way, we only need to turn to God to ask Him to lead and guide us by His Holy Spirit, because He has the full picture, and the map to show us the right direction, according to His Will and His p...

In what can only be termed a disaster of personal calendar management, I agreed to go to lunch at 11 with a group of co-workers on a Tuesday—a day when Mass is at noon.... (www.catholic365.com)

Why do we ask proof of the veracity of One who cannot lie?

In a way, it is natural to want signs to verify our convictions. However, the signs that God sends may not be what we expect. Perhaps what we really need is the capacity to ponder our life in the presence of God - to pray - in order to discover how the Lord wants to lead us.... (www.catholic365.com)

The Satire of Msgr. Robert Hugh Benson

A few months ago as of this writing, Pope Francis caused a minor flurry of interest in the work of a lesser-known English Catholic novelist, Msgr. Robert Hugh Benson (1871-1914). He mentioned Benson’s science fiction fantasy Lord of the World, believed by some commentators to be the pope’s favorite ... (www.catholic365.com)

Some Dilemmas of Atheism

If you’ve ever been in a dialogue with an atheist, as I have many times, what they delight in is demanding proof on their terms of the existence of God. They also enjoy laughing at anything a believer says.... (www.catholic365.com)

I Know Mine and Mine Know Me

The other day it was my pleasure to pick up my little 25 month old granddaughter. I had never done this before and was a little concerned about how she would react. I know she knows me, but not in the context of removing her from a familiar setting to go off with me. But we had no choice. Her mo... (www.catholic365.com)

In the last couple weeks I have three times encountered Protestant friends who looked on me with pity for my Catholic faith, all of for the same reason, the most recent one the most articulate. “I’m just so sorry,” she said, “that you don’t know that Jesus died for your sins and wants a relationship...

This Is a Tough One

I am dealing with two major ailments right now, my glaucoma that is not responding well to drops, and may require surgery; and my arthritis that is slowly deteriorating knees and hips.

Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not.

When was the last time your heart was moved with pity? Not the kind of pity that has been defined for us by Western philosophy, by Hollywood movies and Reality TV. Not the kind of pity that flows from a contemptuous and cynical heart. Not the kind of pity that judges the character or social conditio... (www.catholic365.com)

Want to Make a Difference? Get Off Your Butt!

We live in an age of ribbons and hashtags. It seems that no matter where we turn, we are confronted by ribbons on cars, social media profile pictures awash in different colors for varied causes, and hashtags urging you to save everything from the whales to the planet to your favorite vegetable....

The Bride of Christ

So many times we hear, "the Church doesn't like women," or worse, "God doesn't like women." Nothing could be further from the truth. For a few years, I led a Little Flower Girls Club group at my church. It was something that the girls enjoyed and I felt passionate about, but it became increasingl... (www.catholic365.com)

Rainbows and God

Last night a huge storm was expected here with lots of lightning, heavy rain, lots of wind, and even a chance of a tornado. It ended up being not as big as was planned on which was a good thing. And after it was done, lots of rainbows, and double rainbows were spotted. That got me thinking about rai... (www.catholic365.com)

Grandmothers' Gifts

I was young when my mother’s mother passed away. We called her Maw-Maw. My only memories of her are of a very sick woman. My mother became her nurse in those days. I do not remember any conversation I ever had with Maw-Maw. My mother has told me that she enjoyed life. She loved dancing and visi... (www.catholic365.com)

Why Did Jesus Run Away?

One day while I was out my rosary walk I happened to be saying the Joyful mysteries. The 5th Joyful mystery is the Finding of Jesus in the Temple. Aside from Jesus' birth, presentation, and much traveling, this is the only story the Bible gives us about Jesus' childhood. I wondered, as I often di... (www.catholic365.com)

We must learn to regard people less in the light of what they do or omit to do, and more in the light of what they suffer.

...we often find ourselves in deserted and isolated places: illness, failed projects, social rejection or through our own selfishness. Such losses can leave us depleted and feeling a deep need for healing so that we might ‘enter’ into life in a more holistic way once again.... (www.catholic365.com)

Cletus, The Third Pope?

There are many transcription and memory mistakes made when a group of people are writing to one another in the middle of a war. The “war” was the intermittent persecution of Christians from Nero to Domitian to Marcus Aurelius and onward until the early 300s. The transcriptions were the chronological... (www.catholic365.com)

Walking the Walk--Yes, that Walk!

I remember in college orientation being introduced to the term "the walk of shame," young co-eds returning in the early morning after partying and one night stands. Everyone discussed how difficult it would be and what the reality meant to your college future. It still happened, but it was at least ... (www.catholic365.com)
