Someone to Teach

A Protestant friend once commented to me: It seems to me that you put more emphasis on what the Church teaches than on what the Bible says. Why is that? She had, perhaps unknowingly, hit on one of the biggest obstacles to Protestant-Catholic dialog. Catholics, at least in theory, listen to the Ch... (www.catholic365.com)

Written Into Existence

Who am I? Today I am a blank sheet of paper waiting for the Lord to write my life into existence. Sounds totally new age and profound, right? But the fact of the matter is that the Lord writes each moment into existence for our benefit and His Glory.... (www.catholic365.com)

Island of Unwanted Children

No child should ever feel unwanted. My mind goes back to the Island of Unwanted Toys from the old Rankin/Bass "stop motion animation" classic, Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer.

What are little boys made of?

My twenty-three-year-old son came home the other day following the Bruce Jenner interview and made me smile. He asked, “Hey Mom, as a woman don’t you find it offensive that Bruce Jenner can put on a dress and makeup and call himself a woman?” I smiled because I knew my son gets it. He is not fool...

We Christians & Jews are Bound Together Forever by Our Spiritual DNA

When I was growing up in the Bronx we lived on the third floor in a five story walk-up on Sherman Ave. There were eight of us in a four room apartment.

“I won't tell you that the world matters nothing, or the world's voice, or the voice of society. They matter a good deal. They matter far too much. But there are moments when one has to choose between living one's own life, fully, entirely, completely—or dragging out some false, shallow, degrading e... (www.catholic365.com)

We never really like to think about how our actions affect others. We tend to think that in most situations we are calm, cool, collected and right! We are, after all; human! In my last reflection, I talked about how to detach from the Judas’s in our lives from the perspective of how these relation... (www.catholic365.com)
