He Died without Mercy

I haven't wanted a room without a view, and yet I'm in this claustrophobic attic surrounded by the past relics of bygone years. Shame on death for linking me to this world when I was too young to die. I could have done exceptional things had I survived the dip in the river last September.... (www.catholic365.com)

Don't Bash the Trash Collector

Garbage collectors are somewhat taken for granted as they go about their malodorous task. But their importance becomes obvious when a city-wide garbage collectors' strike erupts; that's when the maggoty garbage piles up day after day, as flies and rats breed freely.

Day 83 – Paul in Athens

Sparring with Shadows

One of the biggest waste of that time is engaging “trolls”. That is an Internet term for people who just want to sling mud (or less mentionable material) at people without any desire to discuss whatever subject they are ranting about.... (www.catholic365.com)

Getting Renewed at the Catholic Charismatic Renewal's Jubilee Conference

There will be times when the spiritual battle is hardest when the goal is closest or most advantageous. So I took two days and many cancellations and regrouping before finally landed on Pittsburgh on what would have been only a 5.5 hour trip, but I did get to the part of what I needed to hear....

Why Can't You Tickle Yourself?

This is a question with a good news/bad news kind of answer. The bad news is that no one really knows the answer; it's one of countless mysteries still unsolved by science. The good news is that all mysteries, both scientific and religious, will be known eventually - most of them probably in the nex... (www.catholic365.com)

So many think they will be happy when... but the truth is that without inner peace, we have nothing ... nothing.

Physical labor tires our body. Stress, distress and tensions tire our mind. Sin and guilt tires our soul. Rest really is meant to be a totally refreshing renewing experience.... (www.catholic365.com)

Body Language Spoken Here

In times of persecution, early Christians needed some swift inconspicuous gesture to identify themselves to one another. Since a Christian is one who follows Christ, the challenge of Christ himself suggested the gesture to be used: "If anyone would come after me, he must...take up his cross and foll...
