The rainbow is an everlasting sign and symbol from God of a covenant He made with His people during the earliest days of creation. It was a sign that God would never again destroy the evilness, and filth of sin with the cleansing waters of a flood; a flood that ravaged the Earth and destroyed all l... (www.catholic365.com)

Original sin is the proclivity to say "my will be done" instead of "thy will be done."

One striking point in this narrative is the reaction of people to the swineherds’ report: “they begged him to leave their district.” Why do the people react this way? One might expect the people to express gratitude to Jesus, and invite Him to stay as their protector.... (www.catholic365.com)

Reflection - First Friday - July, 2017

Had another great morning Mass, Benediction and reflection - 1st Friday. Got to thinking about this advice..."Don't do what they do, but do what they tell you." As a Catholic, I've had to answer to this question whenever one of our shepherds seems to be choosing sin.... (www.catholic365.com)

Much of our astronomical knowledge today comes from listening rather than looking, The listeners are "radio astronomers" whose enormous antennas constantly scan the skies for squawks, beeps, and hums that reveal far more about the universe than the eye can see.

Who did Jesus die for?

A question arose one day from some close relatives while discussing the severe actions perpetrated by some of the most heinous individuals of our recent history, as to who is in Hell. These relatives were positive that those individuals should be in Hell and the certainty that they were was enough ... (www.catholic365.com)

Day 67 – The Laying on of Hands - Confirmation

Today, I cannot emphasize enough, the importance of what we learn in the readings. Saul has begun the persecution of Christians in Jerusalem and the fledgling community is scattered. We see this has the opposite effect than Saul intended. The Gospel begins to spread outwards from Jerusalem... (www.catholic365.com)

On a Theology of Marriage

A few months ago I took a four-part class on the Sacraments. It was a good class, and I learned quite a bit. However, I was a little disappointed in the coverage of Holy Matrimony. It later was pointed out to me that the theology of marriage is somewhat underdeveloped compared to that of the othe... (www.catholic365.com)

Take a Closer Look

When violin strings were made of catgut and the bows were strung with horsehair, one unimaginative boor described violin-playing as "drawing the tail of a horse over the guts of a cat." That's enough to de-romanticize any tableside violin serenade!... (www.catholic365.com)

Does Jesus love strippers? Seriously, I saw this “new story” on my Facebook feed today. Yes, Jesus does love strippers, he loves all of us, holy or sinful. The question that really needs to be asked is “Do Strippers love Jesus?”... (www.catholic365.com)

Time Out in the Rat Race

Ever think about "getting away from it all"? You might want to reconsider. Scientists discovered that laboratory rats exposed to only one week of conditions simulating modern city life- flashing lights, loud noice, crowding, and so on - demonstrate signs of irritability, aggressiveness, and permanen...
