We have discussed many virtues this past year. Virtuous living draws us out of ourselves and that’s why it is important to keep talking about the ways to arm ourselves (and our children) with virtue. Each virtue is inextricably linked to supporting virtue(s); what an added boost! Virtues that have t... (www.catholic365.com)

Someone, probably a clever TV evangelist, coined a quirky definition for the virtue of trusting in God: he calls it the “bathtub of the soul.” There’s nothing like a bath or shower to restore a soiled body with refreshing cleanliness; yet, a sense of absolute cleanliness of one’s soul is even more r...

GiveThe Gift of Yourself

We have all experienced those times when someone we know had surgery, is ill or is just going through a difficult time. We think about them, probably pray for them, but then think “But What Can I Do?” It is at these times that we are called to be Christ for one another. That doesn’t mean that what w...

As I grow older, I pay less attention to what men say. I just watch what they do.

Most of us would say without hesitation that describing the Lord as “an eternal Rock” is a metaphor. This metaphor tells us how solid, sturdy and dependable God always is. That’s a pretty simple and straightforward idea. Jesus in today’s Gospel uses the same metaphor in a little different way. In th... (www.catholic365.com)

The courage to get out of the boat

Peter had a choice to make once. He was on the boat, asleep, and he woke up to see Jesus walking on the water. The Apostles were so afraid. But not Peter. He said, "Lord, if it is you, then call out to me to come to you on the water." And Jesus called him. So Peter went. He stepped out of the boat i... (www.catholic365.com)

A child’s death from a ravaging illness seems to us to be outrageously premature, since in our time frame life ideally lasts into advanced adulthood.
