Reflections on the Coronation of The Blessed Virgin Mary

How Did Mary Become Queen?

The last mystery of the holy rosary is the Coronation of Mary. This directs our thoughts to meditate on the belief that she is queen. But why do Catholics believe that?

Thoughts of A Housewife

Does the Lord see me here at home alone as I quietly clean the kitchen and wash the floors? Does he know the thoughts of my mind and the desire within my heart as I go about my chores? Does he bring the little red bird to peck on my window pane every morning and sing on my chimney at midday?... (www.catholic365.com)

The body contains the individual, the soul which together make the unique person, which is a member of a particular country, family, history.

Who Is Jesus, and What Did He Do?

A friend of mine has a four-year-old grandson, and recently the little boy attended a baptism at my parish. In our church, there is a huge crucifix above the tabernacle, in the middle of the sanctuary. It’s a gorgeous sculpture, and the lifelike image of Jesus must be at least eight feet tall....

It's good to have money and the things that money can buy, but it's good, too, to check up once in a while and make sure that you haven't lost the things that money can't buy.

God is not interested in money! He has the whole universe. God loves holiness, and goodness, and purity, and truth, and integrity, and gentleness, and modesty, and righteousness, and mercy, and peace, and joy, and meekness. He doesn’t love the pound and the Euro and the dollar and the yen and the ru... (www.catholic365.com)

Continuous effort - not strength or intelligence - is the key to unlocking our potential.

You cannot force someone to have faith in God. No matter how many arguments a person devises to prove the existence of God, all of them can be argued against, though whether the opposing arguments have merit is another matter. Jesus preached in public for three years, but He did not spend His time o... (www.catholic365.com)
