What Christ could have foreseen of Church history in His Human Nature

We know that Christ, before the Resurrection, and IN His Human Nature, was not aware of certain things on account of the limitations of His Human Nature. For example, "And He grew in wisdom [and stature]....". In another Gospel passage, He asks, "Where is he/she?"... (www.catholic365.com)

Day 45 – Stay Watchful

Most of the substance of today’s reading is included in yesterday’s discussion of the Olivet discourse. It is immediately after this discourse the Jesus utters his famous admonition, “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven or the Son, but the Father only.”...

Regretfully Yours

It is often only in retrospect that we see the great value of things we have allowed to slip through our fingers. Perhaps our moment of most poignant awareness (and regret) will be the moment after death, when God "will reward each person according to what he has done" (Ps 62:12; see Romans 2:6)....

As a mother of a large family, struggling to wash, dry, and fold three or four loads of laundry every day, I secretly wondered if there was an obscure saint, with little to do, who could fill in as my patron saint of missing socks.... (www.catholic365.com)

Gordon R. Howe was the richest man in the world. As he approached his ninety-second birthday, his lovely wife gushed about how he took three dollars and invested it in the stock market in oil way back before most people owned cars. It was a lucky guess he told her and one that shaped the rest of his... (www.catholic365.com)

Freedom prospers when religion is vibrant and the rule of law under God is acknowledged.

Many people today talk about separation of church and state, but our great nation was founded on freedom for religion, not freedom from religion. Our founding fathers constantly prayed and invoked God’s blessings publicly on our infant democracy 240 years ago.... (www.catholic365.com)

Day 44 – The Olivet Discourse

Jesus’ discourse on the Mount of Olives about the signs of the end of the world is a fascinating study of the structure of ancient speech making. The people of Jesus’ day are from an oral tradition and they used memory tricks to organize and remember speeches and stories.... (www.catholic365.com)

How to Grow Old Gracefully

Regardless of our age, we should periodically take a "rearview mirror" inventory of our life up to the present, as well as a "windshield view" of the future, as David did in Psalm 71.... (www.catholic365.com)

So, HOW Do We Live in the Love of Christ?

To the casual observer, I appear to be a devoted Catholic mother who has lived a sacrificial life worthy of a modern saint. Little do people realize that, although I did pour out my life struggling to raise nine kids on a small farm with little disposable income, I actually missed the core of Christ...

At the end of your life on earth you will be evaluated and rewarded according to how well you handled what God entrusted to you.

The chief priests and elders had forgotten the place of the Lord in their lives. They thought that they were the masters of Israel, rather than its shepherds. They thought that they were the landowners, rather than the tenants. They thought that they were the lord of the manor, rather than the stewa... (www.catholic365.com)

Day 43 – Free Will from the Lips of Jesus

This is one of my favorite passages in the Bible because of the visual image it conveys. I see a large hen (God) trying to gather all her tiny little newborn chicks (us) but the chicks are fanning out in every direction out into the word enamored with something in the distance. They chicks stray ... (www.catholic365.com)

God's Waiting Room

One of the more ironic terms in our frenetic world is the term "rush hour" - the hour whn drivers "rush" into a frustrating near-gridlock. Similarly, in our prayer life, our urgent, "please-rush" prayer petitions often meet with only exasperating delays.... (www.catholic365.com)

The Amoris Laetitia Should Be Further Clarified

The Joy of Love (Amoris Laetitia) is a papal statement on the family that has garnered controversy because some have viewed it as a way to allow divorced and remarried Catholics to receive Holy Communion without an annulment (meaning the union never occurred as a Sacramental marriage)....

It is never a question of how much you and I have of the Spirit, but how much He has of us.

After Jesus ascended, the disciples were confused and fearful as they gathered together. Questions filled their minds: what should they do now? What does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus? Physically they were together in the same place, but their hearts and minds were all over the place! They ... (www.catholic365.com)

Day 42 – Do as they say, not as they do!

We all know by now that Jesus is a not a big fan of the Pharisees. In Matthew 23, Jesus lists a litany of things at which the Pharisees have failed. Jesus says over and over again that the Pharisees, as rulers over Israel, have failed in their mission to be servant leaders. That makes his statemen... (www.catholic365.com)
