The Lover Meditates on Her Beloved

At work this past week, my team hosted a recent facilitator to deliver a Meditation workshop for our employees, and in her presentation she said something very thought provoking. We all meditate, but we often don't realize we do. As an example, the lover meditates on her beloved.... (www.catholic365.com)

Holy Saturday Reflection

On Holy Saturday we entered into the mystery. Today we contemplate Jesus, there in the tomb, dead. In that tomb, he is dead, exactly the way each of us will be dead. We don't easily contemplate dying, but we rarely contemplate being dead.... (www.catholic365.com)

Resurrection / Cross / Suffering

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia! Easter is here and will not go away. We should relish in the realism that God’s Son, Jesus Christ, is risen, and death from sin has been destroyed. Lent, the journey from Ash Wednesday through Wednesday of Holy Week, the Paschal Triduum, Holy Thursday, Good Friday, a... (www.catholic365.com)

The Horror of the Cross

We watched Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ" on Good Friday evening. We invited a few people over that night and some didn't come. They said that they couldn't watch that movie, it is too horrific or it upsets them too much. I thought these interesting comments. I totally agree with them,... (www.catholic365.com)

"At the end of life we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have received, how much money we have made, how many great things we have done…….We will be judged by "I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat, I was naked and you clothed me. I was homeless, and you took me in."

We see in this Gospel that even though he is teacher and master and God, he still serves. He washes the feet of his disciples. He takes a towel and a water basin and washes the road dust and dirt from the feet of these men who have walked long distances in sandals. Peter is embarrassed.... (www.catholic365.com)

I Freed You From the Bondage

This past Good Friday was a day of anguish for me. I felt like I had been forsaken by the Lord and left with another loss in my life. Later that night, what I thought He was taking away, He revealed was actually what I’d been praying to receive for years.... (www.catholic365.com)

Judas made a huge blunder the day in which he sold Christ for 30 denarii, but he made an even bigger one when he thought that his sin was too great to be forgiven. No sin is too big: any wretchedness, however great, can always be enclosed in infinite mercy.

The betrayal of Judas was very painful for Jesus, coming from one of his trusted chosen ones.... (www.catholic365.com)

The NCAA Basketball Championship Game and the Spirituality of Sports

Sitting across the big empty harvest table from each other, one of us says over breakfast, “Do you want to go?” And the other one says, “Let’s do it.” The Virginia Cavaliers were playing in the NCAA Championship for the first time in school history and our connection to the University runs deep. Two... (www.catholic365.com)

So I was sitting in the doctor’s office and a mother comes in with the world’s cutest toddler. This child could have ousted Shirley Temple off the stage for sheer adorableness. It wasn’t just the white bow wrapped around her head, her moccasin slippers, or her bright blue eyes…it was her bubbling en... (www.catholic365.com)

What the Lord teaches us through the Notre Dame Cathedral fire

Like so many around the world, I watched in horror and shock as the images of the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris flooded news feeds and television reports. My first thought was “I hope the Blessed Sacrament is ok.” Now, as the ashes settle, investigations into the cause continue, and plans for recons... (www.catholic365.com)
