God has made a provision for each and every one of them…...That provision is Himself

The Holy Spirit, like the ligaments that hold parts of our physical bodies together, binds us together, to make us one body in Christ. Even when we are separated from our loved ones by great distances, or even by death itself, the Holy Spirit sustains our relationships.... (www.catholic365.com)

Understanding St. Paul

Much has been written about the great preacher, St. Paul of Tarsus: that he was the true founder of Christianity who ultimately distorted the simple, loving teachings of Jesus and laid the groundwork for creating the “oppressive monstrosity” that became the Catholic Church; he was a fire-brand prea...

Catholics Should Learn How to Dance

Is joy at the heart of your life in Christ? Many Catholics feel beleaguered as they struggle to stand up for the truth in an increasingly hostile environment.

Two big events in our reading of the New Testament today. First we see Herod order the death of John the Baptist based on the wishes of his step daughter. The first obvious implication of the story is to demonstrate how arbitrary and capricious Herod is with his power.... (www.catholic365.com)

The Trouble with Most of Us

I have been doing a lot of spiritual reading lately for groups I’m part of and I keep seeing the phrase “most of us.” Usually, when someone uses the phrase “most of us” in spiritual reading it is not because they are about to give most of us a compliment.... (www.catholic365.com)

Jesus’ words—“If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love”—focus our attention on two of these themes: “my commandments” and “my love”. Sometimes in a culture that encourages us to base our actions on our feelings, and which defines love as nothing more than a feeling, “commandments” and... (www.catholic365.com)

Strange Gods Before Me -- Do Catholics Worship Saints and Statues?

I like to hear and to read about people's conversion stories to the Catholic Church...about the process they've been through in trying to assimilate all that our glorious Faith offers us.

How to Be Patient!

Yikes, that is a hard one. How to be patient waiting for what you KNOW is coming—but in God’s perfect timing. Like a kid waiting for Christmas, or the next birthday around the bend. What about the senior about to graduate, yet those few months have to pass by. Maybe you are the new parents and it... (www.catholic365.com)

Day 25 – The Hidden Treasure and the Pearl of Great Price

I was a Fatima Kid

Today we take for granted that we have a relatively peaceful world. But not too long ago, during the Cold War, people lived with the fear a nuclear war would end creation. Not much could be done; or so we thought.... (www.catholic365.com)
