Not by good works which we have done

I frequently talk to people, Catholic and Protestant, mostly Protestant, who say that good works are not necessary for justification. Some of them will point out that St. Paul’s Epistle to St. Titus... (www.catholic365.com)

The Holy Spirit

Father Ignatius was helping a few volunteers clearing out a storeroom deep in the basement of the church. It was dark and somewhat humid down there as well as dusty amongst the cobwebs that accumulated over the years.... (www.catholic365.com)

Faith and Politics Don't Always Mix

First and foremost, I am a Catholic, then I consider myself a conservative Catholic. As I pondered last year’s Presidential election and the state of our country today, I became quite ambivalent about how I voted.... (www.catholic365.com)

It is one of the most beautiful compensations of this life that no man can sincerely try to help another without helping himself.

Why We Worship On Sunday: Answering Seventh-Day Adventists and Other Sabbatarians

Have you been asked yet -- either by a Seventh-Day Adventist or a member of other Seventh-Day Sabbatarian groups (and there are many) -- why Christians changed the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday? Quick answer -- the Sabbath is still on Saturday. But most (not all) Christians including Catholics, Or... (www.catholic365.com)

On Looking without Seeing

“Curiosity killed the cat,” the proverb goes, “but satisfaction brought him back.” Throughout Christian history, from Augustine and Jerome to Aquinas, curiosity has been viewed as a serious vice. In contrast, today, it represents little more than an annoying habit. The problem is all the more acu... (www.catholic365.com)

Amazing Discovery: Sin Is Real

In this week’s second reading at Mass, St. Paul discussed sin. He explained that when we were baptized into Christ Jesus, we “were baptized into his death.” Since Christ died to conquer sin, when we join with him we can break free from the slavery of sin and, as Paul wrote, “live in newness of life....

Day 53 – The Crown of Thorns

The crowning of thorns marks fulfillment of God’s promise to Abraham. Recall that Abraham was asked to offer his first born son as a sacrifice to God. Jesus is the first born son of Mary and the Son of God whom sacrifices himself to the Father.... (www.catholic365.com)

Love leaves a legacy. How you treated other people, not your wealth or accomplishments, is the most enduring impact you can leave on earth.

But love my enemies?? Love the terrorist, the rapist, the killer, the abuser? Love the corporate plunderer, the arrogant politician, the lazy, the entitled, the insufferable, and the list goes on and on?... (www.catholic365.com)

Anyone for Tennis?

I was incensed when an American commentator said the English are not really interested in tennis, they're just mad on Wimbledon. But when I thought about it, I had to admit that there was more than a grain of truth in what she said. I could name at least half a dozen people who plan their holidays t... (www.catholic365.com)

Two Faces Of Eve

All have two faces: the veiled illusionary face of our sinful lives; and the unveiled joyful face when sin has been forsaken. Decades of clothing the veiled self with decadent pleasures with little true substance hide the image of following the will of the One who creates man to be his sons and dau... (www.catholic365.com)

Between Augustine and Fundamentalism on the 1,000 Years: a Balance with Private Revelation?

In light of this modern spiritual darkness over much of what was Christendom in earlier times, it is so stupid to say the dragon is chained just because the Eucharist is on earth. Jesus reigns in Apocalypse 12 from heaven, but the dragon is not chained.... (www.catholic365.com)

Day 52 – Barabbas

Who is the man that is spared in place of Jesus? Little is known about him for certain. Some authorities say he is a thief, others a murderer. Some suggest that he was a political revolutionary that killed a Roman soldier in a riot. Sometimes he is called “Jesus Barabbas”, sometimes just “Bara... (www.catholic365.com)

Return to Sender

When I was ready to make my first foray into the "world" (off to college!), I received a very precious gift. The giver had put a lot of time, energy, and talent into the gift. They were not expecting anything in return. The present was simply to be a blessing to my life.... (www.catholic365.com)

Hate, it has caused a lot of problems in the world, but has not solved one yet.

These Scripture readings tell us that to be a follower of Christ entails challenges such as avoiding evil and loving one's enemies. One does not have to look so far to come across one's "enemies": they could be among family, among friends and co-workers. To love one's enemies is to extend compassion... (www.catholic365.com)
