(A Satire) Prime Minister Leo Varadkar walks into a spacious room. The office is well-appointed and overlooks the city. A billboard with a large red heart with the word Repeal inside is visible from the window. A woman is typing, one finger, on her computer. Varadkar approaches the antique desk....

Our Lady of Knock---The Silent Apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary

On the northwestern coast of Ireland sits County Mayo, and within that green, lush county lies what was once the Knock Parish Church.

My Secret Confession

I think one of the great difficulties of being a Catholic and having to go to Confession is that your local priest, who no doubt knows you from your voice, will eventually build up a picture in his mind of the type of person you are.... (www.catholic365.com)

I forgive: First, because I've been forgiven by God; Second, living in sin makes me miserable; And Third, I'm going to need more forgiveness in the future. So we don't forgive for the benefit of others. We actually forgive for ourselves.

In this prayer we proclaim our trust in God, ask for our "daily bread" and for God's forgiveness for our offences against him.... (www.catholic365.com)

We are the Pro-Life Generation

There is so much misunderstanding when it comes to the pro-life movement. Often the Millennial generation is labeled as being too concerned with only an anti-abortion agenda, and not having any concern with the care of the child after he or she is born.... (www.catholic365.com)

The story of grace includes a broad range of characters - rich, poor, powerful, and powerless. For all of them, it is God's grace that tips the scale in their favor. In some ways these stories are our stories. For like the individuals who populate the pages of Scripture, we, too, need grace. But not just any grace. The grace of God.

We fail to understand fully the insight that Paul the Apostle had when he wrote in Romans 5:8: God proves his love for us that while we were still sinners, Jesus died for us. This insight gives us great personal consolation. God’s love and Jesus’ love is unconditional.... (www.catholic365.com)

You pour hot water over the noodles, mix in the flavoring, cover the cup, wait for 3 m... (www.catholic365.com)

Speak Up, Lord – I Can't Hear You!

But of all forms of deafness, the most serious is spiritual deafness—the inability to hear the voice of God in the many ways he communicates with us, especially through his incarnate Word, Jesus....

"We must recognize that the evil deed of the enemy-neighbor, the thing that hurts, never quite expresses all that he is. An element of goodness may be found even in our worst enemy. Each of us is something of a schizophrenic personality, tragically divided against ourselves. A persistent civil war rages within all of our lives." – Remember that the next time you are called to forgive another!

Do I love my enemies? Do I pray for those who persecute me? It shouldn't be very hard to come up with people that fall into this category: from people who bug me to people I simply can't stand.... (www.catholic365.com)
