Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (Edith Stein) spoke about attending to the needs of our neighbor: “On the question of relating to our fellowman – our neighbor’s spiritual need transcends every commandment.

Your Prayer Matters

I had another dream on Wednesday night. In the dream I was on my knees praying the Rosary. Then God lifted the veil and he showed me what my prayer was doing. I saw myself holding a sword, slaying demons. Then I awoke remembering an old journal I had. God wanted me to remember it.... (www.catholic365.com)

I was sitting in Eucharistic Adoration one evening recently and was crying out to God to relieve me of a suffering that has been years in the making. I prayed intensely for God to heal me of this burden once and for all because it continuously leads to strife.... (www.catholic365.com)

POPE SAINT LEO II

This week’s pope was born Leo Manelius, in Sicily about 611 AD. His father was known as Paulus. This was a time when many Sicilians headed to the mainland.

I went on a silent retreat this weekend at the beautiful Bethany House. I had really needed it, to fill back up. The bickering and the fighting in the world, it can get you down. This was my trip to the mountain top to pray. It was very healing.... (www.catholic365.com)

For months now, various family members, neighbors, and co-workers have asked us the same question: “With everything that’s been revealed abo... (www.catholic365.com)

"There is something transformational about saying "yes" to God. When you take His hand and step out of that "boat" (your ordinary, comfortable life)……. Instead of spending your lifetime playing it safe, you boldly walk in obedience........"

The Man Hating Spirit

The man-hating spirit is everywhere now (so is the woman hating, but that’s for another article). It’s a palpable, tangible presence. I know because it has attacked me before. And when it does, bitterness and resentment seep into everything. But I have become aware that it is an actual entity th... (www.catholic365.com)

The Best Stories Still Inspire... and there's a reason for that
