Immaculate Conception

From the moment of her conception, Mary was clean and pure with no stain of original sin. There were no barriers, no obstacles in her humanness to hold Mary back from saying yes to God. By giving herself completely to God, we are given the hope of redemption and salvation.... (www.catholic365.com)

Our culture is obsessed with labels. We have neatly packed individuals into boxes according to gender, political party, race, sexual preference, and all sorts of labels. Even more alarming is that we have assembled a box for those who refuse any identity what-so-ever-, and we are left to guess who o... (www.catholic365.com)

"Happy is he who still loves something he loved in the nursery: He has not been broken in two by time; he is not two men, but one, and he has saved not only his soul but his life."

Children, full of innocence, come to their loving father and mother, trusting them to completely take care of them, to protect them, to provide for them, to correct them when they are wrong, and to love and cherish them.... (www.catholic365.com)

"I realized that the deepest spiritual lessons are not learned by His letting us have our way in the end, but by His making us wait, bearing with us in love and patience until we are able to honestly to pray what He taught His disciples to pray: Thy will be done."

I have heard the story of a wise old Rabbi who instructed his students by asking questions. He asked, "How can a person tell when the darkness ends and the day begins?"... (www.catholic365.com)

Mahatma Gandli once said, "There is more to life than merely increasing its speed." May our slowing down this Advent be our gentle protest against the violence of our rushing world. May our slowing down give quiet, steady witness to the values of attentiveness, carefulness, patience, receptivity, stillness. May our slowing down enable us to make real and meaningful connections with people, nature,

The season of Advent tells us to prepare for the coming of God's salvation.... (www.catholic365.com)

The Simple Idea That PROVES Protestantism is Against Jesus

Part of being a Protestant is not submitting to a hierarchy that is directly from Jesus and not accepting the succession of Bishops from the apostles. They may be a self-appointed hierarchy, or just a single pastor to maintain doctrine, but not a hierarchy with apostolic succession right back to th... (www.catholic365.com)

The first ministers were the twelve disciples. There is no evidence that Jesus chose them because they are brighter or nicer than other people. Their sole qualification seems to have been their initial willingness to rise to their feet when Jesus said, "Follow me."

In the listing of the apostles, Andrew is always mentioned as one of the first four.... (www.catholic365.com)
