Motivational Spark Plugs

Motivation is the basic success factor for everything we do, but it is more complicated than we might imagine. Psychologists think that the average human decision may be sparked by as many as eight different conscious or subconscious motives simultaneously.... (www.catholic365.com)

Day 145 – The Woman with the Expensive Oil and the Man with the Water Jug

Today we read about the woman who anoints Jesus with oil shortly before the Last Supper and the Passion begin. We are told that the ointment is worth 300 denarii. A single denarius was a day’s wages so this is worth approximately 1 years pay (excluding Sabbath days and holidays).... (www.catholic365.com)

Let Christ Rip The Rug Up From Under You

When Jesus invites us to die to ourselves, He is not referring to some pious act of self-sacrifice which will make us look or feel holy. No, He has something much more radical in mind. The kind of inner transformation Christ desires will literally rip the rug up from under our feet and shatter our w... (www.catholic365.com)

The weapons of divine justice are blunted by the confession and sorrow of the offender.

How would you feel if you found out that some new people at your workplace received a bigger check for the same job you are doing? It rankles if we find out, and sometimes we feel resentful, angry, and upset.... (www.catholic365.com)

A Paycheck from God

I don’t know about you, but the gospel reading about the laborers, makes me a bit uncomfortable. I can certainly relate to the ill feelings the workers who toiled all day long and received the same amount of pay as the workers who toiled for but a mere hour or less did. Our sense of justice deems th... (www.catholic365.com)

What would the Trade Unions say about Jesus?

In Matthew 20:1-16 Jesus tells the story of a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire labourers for his vineyard. After agreeing with the labourers for the usual daily wage, he sent them into his vineyard. He went out again at 9 o'clock and found some more workers whom he sent to the vin...

Sales Resistance, Advanced Course

Intrusions into our daily plans seem to be an unavoidable problem for most people, But not all intrusions are obnoxious. We want to be notified when there's a family emergency, or a change of a schedule appointment. And one form of "intrusion" we should never resent is a silent nudge of grace throug...

Day 144 – Be Watchful

Today we read more of Jesus’ prophecy of the end of the Temple and the destruction of Jerusalem. One interesting fact is that Jesus told his followers that when they see these things happening they should flee the city. This played out in history exactly as Jesus had predicted. As the Roman invas... (www.catholic365.com)

A Book Review of Donna-Marie Cooper O'Boyle's "Our Lady of Fatima: 100 Years of Stories, Prayers, and Devotions"

One hundred years ago as of May 13, 2017, Our Lady of Fatima ushered in a message of love, of peace, and of enduring reconciliation by way of three young Portuguese children. In the twenty-first century, Our Lady’s message remains just as pertinent, if not more so. The world is besieged by strife an... (www.catholic365.com)

You aren't going to find anybody that's going to be successful without making a sacrifice and without perseverance.

Am I a disciple? Now I am in the inner circle! But not so fast, Jesus says. What happens when your faith is put to the test, when you have to suffer for your witness to me? Will I stand strong…or fall away?... (www.catholic365.com)

Without Priests we are Doomed!

In a catechetical sermon by St. John Mary Vianney titled “On the Priesthood” the holy Cure of Ars said; “When the priest remits sins, he does not say, “God pardons you;” he says “I absolve you.” At the Consecration, he does not say, “This is the body of our Lord;” he says “This is My Body.” If we ...

The Marriage Bundle

In theology, per Mother Mary's bundle from Medjugorje, she cites the five stones that makes for a Christian renewal (as it had led to mine): daily rosary, daily Mass, daily Scripture, monthly confession and biweekly fast. Somehow, the bundling serves for one good action to boost the doing of another... (www.catholic365.com)

Pray It Again, Sam

You'd think that praying for something once would be enough, since God isn't hard of hearing. Jesus said, "When you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before your ask him" ... (www.catholic365.com)

Day 143 – "He who endures to the end will be saved."

Today we read of Jesus’ foretelling of the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem. Jesus says that “there will not be left here one stone upon another.” This prophecy was fulfilled in A.D. 70 when the Romans sacked the city. The prophecy was fulfilled explicitly in that the Temple, which was cove... (www.catholic365.com)

At the end of life we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have received, how much money we have made, how many great things we have done…….We will be judged by "I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat, I was naked and you clothed me. I was homeless, and you took me in.

In the Gospel reading we hear of friends of Jesus who helped him and his disciples in their preaching and ministry, "who provided for them out of their own funds." Even today the Church and its many works and ministries need the support of its members.... (www.catholic365.com)

Will You Come Run with Me to Happiness?

Happiness, such an elusive state of being that mankind has been trying to capture and define since the beginning of time itself. Happiness, the meaning of life and the search for excellence seem to be the subjects of the most contemplative thought in all of history.... (www.catholic365.com)

Stories We All Should Know: Our Lady of Olives

It drew me like a magnet as I waiting in an endless line at an antique mall filled with treasures just outside Charlotte, N.C. Right by the checkout line, pinned to a vintage white fabric dress form, was a collection of blue and white plaid ribbons with various charms hanging from each. The sign abo... (www.catholic365.com)

First Things First

The tiny daughter of a businessman wandered away from him at a shopping mall, and was lost for several hours. Later, her father told his friend, "I had urgent office work to be done, but I couldn't even begin to think of that during those torturous hours. I could only pray, 'God, my child is lost; h...
