Faith, Hurricanes and Friendship...

Yet, friends are hard to come by (And, I'm not talking about acquaintances or superficial relationships most of us have!). And, good friends even harder, especially for men, who tend to be less open about letting others in. More so in a culture that prioritizes independence and self-reliance and co...

Catholic Fiction and Where to Find It

I've spent the better part of the past six years connected to a variety of online circles in which Catholic fiction is not only known, but loved and nourished. So when I step outside that literary bubble, I'm sometimes surprised to be reminded that many people - even practicing Catholics who are vor... (www.catholic365.com)

Paul's classic words to Timothy would be the perfect response to that situation: "Godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it...People who want to get rich fall in to temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desire...

Day 138 – "What do you want me to do for you?"

What strikes me about today reading is the dramatic difference between two identical requests. In Mark 10:35, the Apostles James and John have this exchange: "Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you." And he said to them, "What do you want me to do for you?" And they said to him, "G... (www.catholic365.com)

Not only does charity begin at home. Everything begins at home, including our faith

In this passage the Centurion is credited by Jesus for his loyalty, concern and care of his slave "who is ill and close to death." The Centurion does not leave his dying servant, not even to go to Jesus to ask healing for his servant.... (www.catholic365.com)

The Abigail Principle

One of the first prayers that I learned as a child was the Lord’s Prayer. I was perplexed by why we said, “Forgive us our trespasses.” Why do we say, “Us”? Jesus gave this prayer to me, I thought. So why don’t we say; “Forgive me my trespasses”?... (www.catholic365.com)

My Mother, Our Advocate for the Now

As I was trying to fall asleep last night, I started talking to Jesus, telling Him about my bodily woes of that moment, asking Him to take it away if that was His will. I felt like He was telling me “You hurt now, yes, but there will be a day where You are with Me and no longer feel pain. Worry not ... (www.catholic365.com)

You cannot conceive, nor can I, of the mercy of God.

None of us finds it easy to forgive. Christians should be virtuosos of forgiveness, because we know that God has been—and always will be—endlessly merciful to us. But sometimes we’re understandably reluctant to forgive because we know forgiveness is both challenging and risky.... (www.catholic365.com)

Father, May They Be One, As You and I Are One

At the daily Mass celebrating the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, I was enthralled by the way Fr. Chris Kanowitz began his homily for this day. This newly ordained priest has a gift. One I have written about elsewhere.... (www.catholic365.com)

There's No Love Like Christian Love

I call myself a Christian because I believe that our faith has the purest and most authentic definition of love. Let's take a deeper look into the way that the Bible defines love. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 states, "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud....

Will the True Believer in Christ step forward

As a follow-up to my latest article “A Church in Peril” I read two news articles this morning (Saturday, Sept. 16, 2017) that connect directly to the problems which focus on discontent or worse subjection to traditional Christian values that do not appear to have relevance with too many people, many...

Revelation of the Busy Bee

I've been scared to death of bees ever since I was a little girl. I used to run around bare feet, step on them, and get stung. Awhile ago, a friend received a spiritual image of a bee that she believed was for me, but neither of us knew what it meant.... (www.catholic365.com)

Prayer and mental illness

Ever since receiving the diagnosis of mild-moderate depression and anxiety halfway through college, I’ve taken notice whenever I see articles about dealing with mental illness in a prayerful, faithful way. And while there are multiple articles about living as a Catholic with a mental illness, I’ve n... (www.catholic365.com)
