In the Souls of Those I Love

Since half my class was sick today, I decided to finish school early and do the next best thing—clean house. A good meal and a cup of hot tea were about the only offering that made any sense to sick kids, but disinfectant, a broom, and a mop brought peace to my soul.... (www.catholic365.com)

Offering One's Own Life to Save a Life vs. Rejoicing in Sanctions that Destroy Life; The Paradox that is Humanity is Inexplicable

New York’s governor, Andrew Cuomo, signed into law the Reproductive Health Act, on January 22, 2019, the anniversary of Roe v. Wade. The intentional signing of this bill on that day and the cheering that followed brought me back to a day 40 years earlier. The date was September 6, 1978. For my young... (www.catholic365.com)

The Apostasy of Our Souls

I don’t know about you all, but I am really tired of people trying to legitimize sin and their absorption and promotion of it by trying to separate their religion and the beliefs and teachings they are bound and required to be committed to by stating that their private moral and religious duties are...

When God calls us How do we respond?

I remember seeing a mural painted on the stairway in a seminary; it read, God calls once, your answer is forever. It impressed me and somewhere in my cranium I never forgot those words.

"Satan is screaming lies over us all day long. And God whispers the truth is a still, small voice. So often the voice we listen to most is the one we hear loudest."

"Only you can be you. God designed each of us so there would be no duplication in the world. No one has the exact same mix of factors that make you unique. That means no one else on earth will ever be able to play the role God planned for you. If you don't make your unique contribution to the Body of Christ, it won't be made."

This process of the Word of God taking shape in the New Testament by means of tradition teaches us an important lesson about the Church.... (www.catholic365.com)
