"Silence" - Like a Cancer Grows!

The very words of a song made famous by Simon and Garfunkel echo throughout the halls of life itself, resounding to those who will listen, those to whom the words of healing and hope are the last tenet of bringing some back to life after the onslaught of severe drug overdosing....

The Courage of Father Bernhard Lichtenburg; Priest and Martyr

The Holocaust took the lives of millions of innocents. Amazingly, throughout all of those horrors there were always those who stood tall and spoke out against the existing tyranny. Their courage, staring into the face of death, is awe inspiring. One of them was Bernhard Lichtenberg. A victim of the ... (www.catholic365.com)

You commit a sin of omission if you do not utilize all the power that is within you.

With the reemergence of comic superheroes, a new phrase or question has developed, “What is your super power?” A question that helps us to think about the special gift or talent we possess that might assist others. The Church calls these charisms. They are the graces/gifts and talents given to us by... (www.catholic365.com)

Are There Many Types of Love?

Are there many types of love? No. Just…. No. Absolutely not. Are you surprised by this? You shouldn’t be. To love is to will the good of the other. The problem is that we, you and me, fail at this Every Single Day. We are actually remarkably bad at loving.... (www.catholic365.com)

For With the Lord there is Mercy…

This evening after Vespers, I prayed the “Prayer for our Deceased Sister” with the other Sisters and visitors in our Chapel for the first time in quite a while. We will be doing this for the rest of the week, since one of our German Sisters died recently, and we have the custom of praying for the d... (www.catholic365.com)

Are You an Eternal Risk-Taker?

About twenty percent of a ladder's cost covers the manufacturer's liability insurance on that ladder. We live in a dangerous world - and in a litigious society, for which everyone pays. There are physical risks for the buyer and financial risks for the seller. Even with all the breaks, life is a wal... (www.catholic365.com)

Day 117 – Who should teach?

James says that this is important because a teacher, if making only minor mistakes, can lead large groups astray. Who should then become a teacher? Not someone who is ambitious. Not someone who wants to lead.... (www.catholic365.com)

My Life for Your Freedom---The Mercedarians Practice what They Preach: One of Them is St. Serapion of Algiers

Four years ago a newly ordained Mercedarian priest was assigned to our parish. Father Scott Brentwood was 31 years old and showed up wearing the traditional habit of his order. The habit was all white and, as Father walked toward his new parish, watching him approach was like taking a peek into the ... (www.catholic365.com)

Many of us believe that wrongs aren't wrong if it's done by "nice people" like ourselves.

It is so easy to get caught up in rituals and religious practices, as the Pharisees and teachers of the Law were: we should not forget that it is God who is the center and meaning of rituals and religious practices.... (www.catholic365.com)

Take Care not to establish an Ego Persona!

There is a danger of lifting our ego so high that we forget God’s presence within our lives and remember that it is He who gives us the gifts to spread the Good News, evangelize those who are in need, and show we believe totally in His calling us to ministry.... (www.catholic365.com)

Once I fell into an internet argument with a few atheist writers who felt it was funny to meme Christ and Mary with sacrilegious statements. I must confess that I lacked Christian charity when I told them they were going to hell. Granted, my comments were made tongue-in-cheek because the group made ... (www.catholic365.com)

But I want what they have!

I have heard it so often from children and teenagers: “I can’t wait until I grow up so I don’t have all these rules to obey.” As we all know, the rules increase as you get older. A short list of household chores and expectations from our mother and father grows into an unimaginable long list of rule... (www.catholic365.com)
