I love it when I have an epiphany! Well, sometimes I do. I have discovered that often they mean work: physically, emotionally and/or spiritually.

Is there Truth?

Some say that you have your truth and I have mine meaning that everything is relative. They should talk to my former teachers. They seemed to believe there was one truth. There would be no convincing them that 1 + 1 = 3 or that debits and credits are interchangeable.... (www.catholic365.com)

Nothing limits intelligence more than ignorance; nothing fosters ignorance more than one's own opinions; nothing strengthens opinions more than refusing to look at reality.

Bartimaeus refuses to let the crowd quiet his voice. Yes, he is a beggar, but he somehow knows this is a moment that too quickly can pass. He cannot let that happen. He must reach out to Jesus.... (www.catholic365.com)

In an age of constant live connections, the central question of self-examination is drifting from ‘Who are you?' towards ‘What are you doing?

Why is it so hard for us to look at ourselves? Is it because we want to avoid the tough questions? Is it because if we were really honest with ourselves, we would see that we need a lot of work and don’t want to commit to make a change? Even if our heart is in the right place and we are honestly wan... (www.catholic365.com)

Time to Offer an Apology Over Judgement

Catholics are the foundation of the Church and we should be able to set the example for others to live by. We do not occupy the throne of judgment nor should we pass it from the pews. We are in need of healing and forgiveness not judgment or condemnation.... (www.catholic365.com)

Pope Francis and Eliminating Waste in Your Endowment or Retirement Account

A little over 1 year ago Pope Francis addressed “every person living on this planet” with his encyclical “Laudato Si”; Praise be to you, my Lord. Many refer to it as an encyclical on the environment, but it is so much more than that! The Pope explained that extreme consumerism, materialism, and pov... (www.catholic365.com)

Too many people spend money they haven't earned, to buy things they don't want, to impress people that they don't like.

The culture that surrounds modern persons in the West presumes that each person is his or her own boss. Modern Western culture teaches children from an early age that they are not meant to serve anyone or anything. In fact, both God and mammon serve me and my needs!... (www.catholic365.com)
