Today we begin the Letter of James. It was written in approximately A.D. 60, most likely not by Apostle James but rather by James, a cousin of the Lord. James likely knew Jesus since childhood and he was present at the resurrection. He is mentioned elsewhere in scripture, particularly in Acts whe... (www.catholic365.com)

Stop Holding Hands

I came across an article recently that dealt with this “touchy” subject of holding hands and the Orans position during Mass.

Grace is favor, the free and undeserved help that God gives us to respond to his call to become children of God, adoptive sons, partakers of the divine nature and of eternal life.

Bottom-line, the Grace we are given is never earned no matter how long we work, no matter the hours, no matter the labor; it is God’s goodness and love that bestows this Grace upon us.... (www.catholic365.com)

Beware of Hypothesis in lieu of Miracles.

Miracles occur often, but must be shown that they are beyond the scope of human intervention and if they cannot be attached to any possible explanation then they may stand as miracles, having divine intervention beyond the realm of man’s undertaking.... (www.catholic365.com)
