Messy is Better

It’s painfully easy for me to live life adjacent to people, parallel lives that appear to intersect, but never truly do. I hide behind walls of entertainment and tact. It’s far more messy to live life with people rather than adjacent to them. Actually caring about people is scary and letting them in... (www.catholic365.com)

This year as Advent arrives, at a time of unrest and worldly distress, our hope is more than ever needed to inflame the minds of each soul.

Oops! A Boo Boo in What Was Said

One day after celebrating the morning Mass, a couple approached me and asked me to pray over them because it was their wedding anniversary.

A Daughter's Thoughts #boyslivesmatter

In the wake of the latest sex scandal, I was struck by the hypocrisy of Hollywood and by the response of Woody Allen. His throw away line about hoping this does not turn into a Witch Hunt could have been valid if not for his qualification: he hoped that a man who simply winks at a woman in the offi...

Water can be used for sailing, swimming, brushing one’s teeth, or making soup; but it can also destroy a town by a disastrous flood. Most objects, events, ... (www.catholic365.com)

Irenaeus and the Rule of Faith

In the second century Gnosticism threatened to tear the young Christian Church apart. It was a heresy that taught that all matter was evil, Jesus was spirit, and that true salvific doctrine was passed down through a secret oral tradition[1]. To combat this growing problem the early Church father I... (www.catholic365.com)
