What's In a Name?

When my son Adam was a boy, he had a collection of action figures called “Rescue Heroes.” These robust little representatives of first responders came with all manner of cool gadgets and tools that were a great alternative to weapons.

Some favorite expressions of small children: "It's not my fault...They made me do it...I forgot." Some favorite expressions of adults: "It's not my job...No one told me...It couldn't be helped." True freedom begins and ends with personal accountability. -- It is easy to dodge our responsibilities, but we cannot dodge the consequences of dodging our responsibilities.

Poor Eve. She always gets the blame. Through the ages, we have blamed the fall of humanity in the Garden of Eden on Eve because she listened to the serpent, because she tempted Adam, because she was not strong enough to say No.... (www.catholic365.com)

Teen Book Review - The Gate

For smart-aleck Josh, being a Christian in the eighth grade is completely irrelevant, especially with the temptations that middle school can bring. For him, life is all about playing video games, getting money, and causing trouble.... (www.catholic365.com)

Will of the Father

There is a passage in the Bible where it appears Jesus is snubbing His Mother, Mary, when she and some relatives wished to speak to Him. “Who is my mother? Who are my brothers? ...Whoever does the will of my Heavenly Father is brother and sister and mother to me,” said Jesus [Matthew 12:48-50].... (www.catholic365.com)

You've been given the innate power to shape your life...but you cannot just speak change, you have to LIVE change. Intent paired with action builds the bridge to God. You can't just want it; you have to do it, live it...BE it!

This is the same conviction that any Christian can have when he or she is convinced that Jesus Christ has not only died for his or her salvation, but that He has also called each one of us into a life of grace and mission as members of Christ’s Body, the Church.... (www.catholic365.com)

Dogs Are Stupid.

Ok, in spite of being technically true (relative to humans), I don't really think owning a dog is stupid. But I do have some strong words for our disordered, dog-worshiping culture. Particularly those for whom a certain bumper sticker isn’t a joke, but a reality: “We got rid of the kids. The dog was... (www.catholic365.com)

In the Sacred Heart every treasure of wisdom and knowledge is hidden. In that Divine Heart beats God's infinite love for everyone, for each one of us individually.

The Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus – places our prayers within a similar, symbolic setting. The Feast celebrates the fact that all through the gospel passages we see Jesus’ ‘heart’ revealed to us in a myriad of ways which one might best interpret not necessarily as theologians, but through the ...

Would You Adam And Eve It?

The reading in church was about Adam and Eve. You know how the story goes ... There they were, Adam and Eve going around happily in the Garden of Eden totally naked and not worrying about anything, except perhaps getting too close to the cactus, or standing near a hot radiator or oven....

Art Thou Rumour Mongering?

One day, I was on my way to the sacristy to vest for Mass. An old lady came running to me with a concerned look on her face. I was quite taken aback to see such an elderly lady running in this way, and I motioned her to slow down, lest she hurt herself or even trip and fall.... (www.catholic365.com)
