Why "Love is Love" Isn't Really Love

In the battle to normalize homosexuality there must be some collateral damage. Lies are like parasites to the truth—always doing harm and ultimately killing their host. The truth that homosexuality preys upon is not just erotic love, but the love of friendship.... (www.catholic365.com)

Expect great things from God; attempt great things for God.

Mary, as the first disciple, in many ways prefigures all the disciples who will follow – those who traveled, mostly on foot, throughout the world to spread the gospel and proclaim the good news. Like those apostles, Mary was a missionary – the first missionary, a woman who traveled and carried Chris... (www.catholic365.com)

How to Kick Yourself

Rejecting God when we Sin

Go ahead; you’ve sinned, not once but numerous times, since you were forgiven previously, and the thought enters your mind saying; “Oh now you think you can sit down and pray while the residue of your sin still remains uppermost in the corners of your conscience and you think God will overlook the i...

Does Blood Still Flow Through JESUS' Sacred Heart?

Does blood still flow through the Sacred Heart of Jesus, in and through his Glorified Body? Jesus ascended to heaven, body, blood, soul and divinity. We know that when Jesus died on the cross, he lost every drop of blood for us. We hear and believe that Christ’s body received back that same blood wh... (www.catholic365.com)

Please Don't Be Seated

On a tour of a palace in Austria, weary from jet lag and endless walking, I longed to sit down in any chair I could find. But every chair in the palace was obviously a precious antique, richly embroidered and exquisitely upholstered. The very ornateness of the furniture seemed to forbid me to be sea...

Thank Heavens For The Good Ones

Good people, and I mean the really good ones, are harder and harder to find. There are those who go out of their way to spend their days leading others to God. There are those who spend their days serving and loving and living by example. There are those who spend their days impacting others and not... (www.catholic365.com)

A well-known individual walked among friendly contemporaries, carrying a small briefcase, and was asked; “where are you traveling to and what’s in your bag?” The response was simply “I am not sure but will know once I arrive.”... (www.catholic365.com)

Day 36 –the Parable of the Servants in the Vineyard

This is always one of the hardest parables for me. Jesus tells the parable of the workers hired to work in a vineyard. Some are hired early in the morning, others at noon; some others with only three hours left and some are even hired in the last hour of the day. Yet those who work only 1 hour ge...

Think You Can't Be Used By God? Think Again

Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about the early apostles. They all were regular, average, and imperfect people commissioned to bring the good news. They were a lot like you and I. They had day jobs, families, and one day, Jesus threw a wrench in their plans and asked them to follow Him and make disc... (www.catholic365.com)
