Day 247 – How much of your money do you have to give away?

In today’s reading, we find something very confusing because it seems to contradict something that we read just yesterday. Jesus is in Jericho and he is sought out by the rich tax collector Zacchaeus. Knowing that Zacchaeus is seeking him, Jesus calls to him and goes to eat at Zacchaeus’ house.... (www.catholic365.com)

Baptism is an outward testimony of an inward transformation

In this gospel, St. John the Baptist testifies about the baptism of Jesus. Pope Francis reminded us "Baptism is the Sacrament on which our faith is based, and which grafts us to Christ and His Church, as living members”; and he added: "It is not a mere formality!... (www.catholic365.com)

Lessons from the Monstrance

On the night of New Year's Eve, my family and I went to a Mass that ended with Eucharistic Adoration. As the Mass ended and the congregation knelt to watch the priest prepare Adoration, the anticipatory joy leading up to Christmas was felt again in our awaiting the time we could spend adoring The Ch...

We marvel at our awesomely rapid technological progress today, as we take for granted the availability of global-reaching mobile videophones that were undreamed of only a few years ago. However, progress hasn’t always been that brisk.... (www.catholic365.com)

Day 246 – No One is Good but God Alone

In today’s reading is one of Jesus’ most startling responses. Jesus is asked by someone how to inherit eternal life: An official asked him this question, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus answered him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone.”... (www.catholic365.com)

Finding God's Loving Presence in the Ordinary

I was at Mass on New Year’s Day and the priest’s homily message was pretty simple, largely about finding God in the ordinary. I shrugged. I thought I was beyond the reach of that message. I thought to myself, “Yeah, Father, I know that. That’s an easy message.” Or is it?... (www.catholic365.com)

I remember calling my dad to check in on him and hearing his Eyore voice saying “I am here.” This would always be his response to my question, “How are you doing Dad?” I would always try to encourage him and say “Oh, you are more than ‘here.’” No matter what I said though or my comments on about h...

Day 245 – Lord, Have Mercy on Me, a Sinner.

I'm hopping on the Bandwagon: Why I LOVED The Last Jedi (Spoiler Alert)

I think it’s safe to say that The Last Jedi is one of the most controversial movies that we’ve seen in a long time. People either love it or hate it, there is no in-between. Even Mark Hamill hated it at first, until he saw the film and had some time to think about it. I’m going to be really controve... (www.catholic365.com)

What are you doing, O Magi? Do you adore a little Babe, in a wretched hovel, wrapped in miserable rags? Can this Child be truly God? … Did you become foolish, O Wise Men … Yes, these Wise Men have become fools that they may be wise.

In God the Father giving us the Gift of His Son, the Father calls us to give a gift in response. But we might understandably worry, asking, “What can measure up to God’s gift? God’s gift is infinite. I cannot give an infinite gift.”... (www.catholic365.com)

We are NOT in Just Another Age of Opposition

I went up to the priest at Theology on Tap many years ago and said, Father, the mystics teach that before the end of the world there will be a minor apostasy and conditional tribulation after which will occur a glorious renewal and age of peace. He said, But there have been many apostasies. He must ... (www.catholic365.com)

Get the March for Life some big spiritual guns

The first time I attended the March for Life I felt very underused--I came all the way to stop abortion by walking? Many of us have conversion stories surrounding abortion or contraception, had taught advocacy on it, had victory stories to share against fighting the PTSD surrounding it or to share b...

God-Sovereignty

There are two kinds of atheists: cogitative and ethical. The first type strives to prove his position by denying a need for any deity, while the second type cannot accept a God who sets rules of morality.
