Nothing great is ever achieved without much enduring

Persistence can be “shameless“ in not giving up on a situation. Persistence can imply an annoyance and stubbornness. Perseverance and persistence carry a note of difficulty and trouble.... (www.catholic365.com)

A Question Of Faith of Fear

Is faith the result of fear of the consequences if we do not have faith, or is it somehow a self-generated product of our determination to believe without any tangible proof or evidence?... (www.catholic365.com)

Reflections of a First Year Deacon's Wife

A year ago, I wondered what this first year as a deacon’s wife would bring. I knew it would bring changes to our lives. I knew we would both be called to do more in our parish and participate more fully. I knew we would be busy. I knew we would be more helpful to our current parish in many ways....

Here's Lookin' at You

Our best technology is nothing compared to the marvels of "God's hidden camera"; "The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good" (Prv 15:3). "Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is...laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give acco... (www.catholic365.com)

Day 164 – The Body of Christ

There are many divisions in the Church at Corinth. Paul started this letter speaking about how some claimed their faith was superior because of the gravitas of the person who baptized them. Yesterday we read about divisions within the way the service, the remembrance of the Last Supper, was being... (www.catholic365.com)

Our Lady of the Rosary and Our Mission for the Salvation of the World

This year we celebrate the 100th anniversary of Our Lady of Fatima. The one request Mary had at every one of her apparitions was that we all pray the rosary. She asked that we pray the rosary every day for the conversion of sinners and for peace in the world. It is a pretty simple task and an easy r... (www.catholic365.com)

Our trouble is that we say about Christianity what we say about everything else: "What's in it for me?" In our selfishness, we think of God as we think of everyone else—in terms of what He can contribute to us personally. In other words, we want God to be our servant…… "Woe to those who call evil good!"

My tendency in reading this Gospel is to feel frustration at those who miss the miracle and seem spiritually blind. I want to ask, what is holding you back? What is the obstacle which prevents you from seeing the Savior of the world before your eyes?... (www.catholic365.com)

If You See Something, Say Something …

Dorothy Day and Peter Mauyrin, co-founders of the Catholic Worker Movement, defined a good society as one that makes it easy to be good. When asked, a group of students admitted to me that it is not easy to be good today — and for a variety of reasons.... (www.catholic365.com)

What History would Always be in a Fallen World, Part III: the Way of the Saint for the Peoples of God

In the first essays on the Greater Ages in Abstraction, we saw that God must have an Old Testament to prepare for the Incarnation in any fallen world, and that such OT consists of two preliminary, preeminent phases of sin and chastisement for all of humanity, then the formation of Prefiguring Covena...

English-speaking travelers abroad are often amused by signs in fractured English - like a sign by a swimming pool at a French Rivera hotel: "Swimming forbidden in the absence of the savior."... (www.catholic365.com)

Day 163 – Factions Among You

Today, Paul addresses additional problems in the Corinthian community. One of them is disunity that had grown up at services. It seems that services have become sort of a dinner party. Some people are treating it more like a social event than a service. Paul tells them that this should stop and ... (www.catholic365.com)

An Open Letter to Parents of Prospective College Students

Below was adapted from an email to family members by my brother, Dr. Nathan Schlueter, a professor at Hillsdale College, on the subject of discerning college. He makes a compelling case that our interests ought to be a fully-human success, and that such is built upon a solid foundation provided by a... (www.catholic365.com)

How Rick Middleton's Life Sang for the Lord, and We Should Do Likewise

White Privilege and the Christian Imperative

I finished a paper titled, “An Alternative Perspective on White Privilege,” in which I argue that the concept of white privilege is not, as postmodern progressive academic elitists characterize it, a deliberate conspiracy perpetrated by white people, but the natural result of historical sociocultura...

What History would Always be in a Fallen World, Part II: the Preeminent Ages

From the Part I of the Greater Ages in Abstraction, we saw that God can in no wise send the Incarnation immediately into a fallen world but must first have, at the least, a Covenant of pictures, types, that foreshadow the things that really matter. Now, we will ask, can God even commence the Prefigu... (www.catholic365.com)

What to Do with a Dead Soldier

Dead soldiers are annoying, especially if you're in a hurry. A "dead soldier," of course, is a colloquialism for a speed bump - an asphalt mound across a road where drivers are tempted to drive too fast. In school zones, "dead soldiers" keep kids alive.... (www.catholic365.com)

Day 162 – Participation

Paul spends several verses outlining for the Corinthians the boundaries for eating meat that had been sacrificed to idols. Basically, he really wants to make the point that Christianity is something far different from paganism. He wants the older converts to shore up their new brothers. They must...

Save Us From the Fires of Hell

It has been a harrowing couple of days following the centennial event at Fatima, Portugal. A group of us went north to Avierto, Porto and then ventured out to Valencia, Alvor, Monção and elsewhere in the Vinho Verde wine region. While we were visiting historic towns, churches and vineyards, we notic... (www.catholic365.com)

Apostolic Succestion and the Arian Controversy

To those who study Church history the Arians are a familiar foe of orthodoxy. The heresy came to the forefront in the 4th century, and was declared heretical at the Council of Nicea in 325 and again at the Council of Constantinople in 381. How was the proper view of Christ upheld?... (www.catholic365.com)
