Even If You Are Day Old Bread!

For some time now I noticed that my pastor chooses to give me a regular round Host at Communion, even if the broken pieces of the Larger Host consecrated at Mass are still on the Paten.... (www.catholic365.com)

Dei Verbum: What is Divine Revelation?

In my years as a Protestant, a topic of great passion was just how God reveals Himself to mankind. Sola scriptura, or the Bible alone, was my battle cry for many years. However once I started reading the early church fathers something hit me. These sound a lot like Catholic teachings... (www.catholic365.com)

Patience, Where Are You?

O Patience, where are you? I am trying desperately to find you as this dear little one settles down for a nap, but his incessant whimpering for ‘mama’ is difficult to ignore. All tried and true tactics are for naught. Enduring silence, insistent shushing, and ceaseless waiting have failed.... (www.catholic365.com)

My almost 3 year old son brought me a package of pop tarts. "I want pop tart, mommy!" As I took the shiny package from him, I could tell the pop tarts had been through several children's hands, possibly stepped on and thrown around too.... (www.catholic365.com)

Don't Cross off the Cross

As every writer knows, an editor will often cross out an irrelevant phrase as a journalistic blunder. Jesus, our divine Editor, crosses out, by his cross, our moral blunders called sins.... (www.catholic365.com)

Day 131 – Tradition

Does Jesus condemn all tradition? In today’s reading, Mark 7, the states: And he said to them, "You have a fine way of rejecting the commandment of God in order to establish your tradition! … thus making void the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And many such things you d... (www.catholic365.com)

The Dove with the Olive Branch and the Peace that Our Lady will Bring

The Christ draws profound parallels between Noah’s day and that of the end of the world. Too, St. Peter compares the beginning world destroyed by water with the final world destroyed by fire, effectively indicative of the Flood and the end-of-the-world fire at the Second Coming....

You will never have time for prayer; you must make time.

Most of us Catholics in the Western world live very spoiled lives. We consider the making of a Holy Hour a great sacrifice on our part. The Gospel accounts of Jesus' life show how common it was for Jesus to spend an entire night "in vigil".... (www.catholic365.com)

The 4 words for a happy marriage

In Schoenstatt’s Movement, of which I’m a member, we talk about the four words that help us to have a happy marriage. In Portuguese, they all start with the letter R, so we call them the 4Rs, but in English, these words are: pray, re-enchant, review and renew. Let’s look at each one of them....

Step Aside God; MY Will Be Done!

Just over a year ago, in the immediate aftermath of the Brexit decision, I wrote an article for Catholic 365 which was unsurprisingly well received by conservatives and utterly scorned by liberals.... (www.catholic365.com)

Day 130 – Feeding the 5,000 – Redux

Today we read Mark’s account of the feeding of the 5,000. There are only two miracles that are recounted in all four (4) Gospels: The Resurrection and the feeding of the 5,000. Seems to me that that fact alone might imply some major significance to the event!... (www.catholic365.com)

Pope Boniface II, The First Germanic Pope

Pope St. Boniface II ruled just about two years, much of it trying to prove that he was the valid pope. Boniface was born probably near Rome, but of Germanic parentage, his father being Sigisbald.... (www.catholic365.com)

Hate, it has caused a lot of problems in the world, but has not solved one yet.

We might want to reflect at Mass on our national commemoration of the September 11 anniversary of terrorist attacks against our country. It's astonishing that religion was a driving force in the hearts of those who committed mass murder. We ask ourselves how the murder of innocent people could be ca... (www.catholic365.com)

Are You Seeking Citizenship in the Kingdom?

The more I learn and grow deeper into our Faith, the more I realize just how horrible a sinner I am, I’ve been, and how terribly I fail every day at being a true follower of Christ. The realization is pretty startling, and humbling.... (www.catholic365.com)

The Exaltation Of The Holy Cross

The Exaltation of the Holy Cross is commemorated by the Holy Catholic Church on September 14th and is a reminder of the importance of the core symbol of our faith as well as the sacrifice that Our Lord made upon the Holy Cross for our salvation. We honor that Cross on which Christ won for us our red... (www.catholic365.com)

Day 129 – Jesus' "Brothers and Sisters"

Jesus had no blood brothers or sisters. But wait, doesn’t it says right there in Mark 6, which we read today: Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon, and are not his sisters here with us?” And they took offense * at him....

A Church in Peril

As a Roman Catholic deacon since 1974, adhering strictly to the teaching of the Roman Catholic Church, and now writing almost exclusively about issues that are in communion with our doctrines, I must respond to an article I read in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on Saturday, September 9, 2017, regardin...

People are made for happiness. Rightly you thirst for happiness. Christ has the answer to this desire. But he asks you to trust Him.

Why are some people so joyful? And why is it so important that we go to church to express our joy? The Psalm today calls us to “sing joyfully to the Lord.”... (www.catholic365.com)
