The Valley of the Shadow of Death

As you [God] sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world (Jn. 17:18). Chapter 17 in the book of John is one of my favorite chapters in the bible. I am honored that Christ would take the time to pray over me in the manner that He does in John 17.... (www.catholic365.com)

If thou art willing to suffer no adversity, how wilt thou be the friend of Christ?

The Twelve whom Jesus named apostles were ordinary people with neither high education nor extraordinary talents and possessions. They were ordinary people with their faults and shortcomings: proud, stubborn and hard-headed. Two would betray Jesus: one three times before simple house-girls and one fo... (www.catholic365.com)

Blessed Pierina Morosini: the Inspirational Patroness of Rape Victims

Most of us are familiar with the child saint, Maria Goretti, who, at the age of eleven, was brutally murdered defending her chastity. St. Maria was beatified by Pope Pius XII in 1947 and canonized a saint by him in 1950. She is the patron saint of chastity, rape victims, teenage girls and forgiven... (www.catholic365.com)

Far too many people are looking for the right person, instead of trying to be the right person.

We usually associate the cry that Jesus utters in today’s Gospel passage with the need for vocations in the Church. But Jesus also speaks through these words about the harvest of one’s own heart, and the fruits of one’s soul. In each person is a soul created by God, and each soul is capable of being...

Is The Force With You? Is It?

A common new age idea these days is to think of God as a force-- Star Wars style, not a personal God, not a Supreme Being…in fact not a being at all. Just a force. I do not think that this construct stands the test of reason.... (www.catholic365.com)

Nonsense: Trust and Pray

You know, I’ve been thinking. I don’t mind getting older. I really don’t. It’s a gift many folks never get. I’m grateful. Actually, it unencumbers you. When you reach that point, you don’t have to worry about career, or employer politics. It means nothing.... (www.catholic365.com)

Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I'll try again tomorrow.

In this Gospel passage are two people who see how God wants to be in their lives in time of need. So many people turn to Christ in need. When we are honest with ourselves, we know that we would like to ask Christ’s help for so many things in our lives.... (www.catholic365.com)
