There is no joy in this world like union with Christ. The more we can feel it, the happier we are ... With your witness, with your smile, you need to let others know that the same Father loves them, too.

Christ is at work in my life. This I know. Lent and Easter have given me the opportunity again this year to reflect on the promise of life everlasting, and how that promise has been made to me through the death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ.... (www.catholic365.com)

Day 7 - Be Perfect...

In the second half of Matthew Chapter 5 we see Jesus establish a new way of looking at moral responsibility. We go from “though shall not kill” to “love your enemy”. This is so well known to us now that its revolutionary nature is no longer appreciated.... (www.catholic365.com)

Is there anything more poignant that can be said about God and His deep and abiding love for us than this wonderful portion from his countenance?

Teaching the Rosary and Getting Blessed Back

A man recently suicidal came to the adoration chapel and started ranting. The Lord, I felt, understood his pain. When his rant ended and he said, "You are right.

However, fear of the devil cannot be stronger than our trust in God’s ability to keep us safe or we will miss out ... (www.catholic365.com)

Conversations with Jesus

Hey Jesus, here is the thing, I am well aware and so grateful for all your Holy Spirit has done for me and in me. The person I used to be is no longer ruling my life.

Dance and Doctrine: Position and Gesture

In the first post I wrote about “Dance and Doctrine”, there was a comment saying that on first instinct, the answer to the link between dance and Catholicism would be that dancers would make great altar servers.

Behold, I am with you always…

The Fear that grips us all

Fear is a natural emotion. We all experience fear at one time or another in our lives. Fear can be a good thing at times because it stops us from taking unnecessary risks, from being reckless and thoughtless in what you do.... (www.catholic365.com)

Every morning during meditation, I prepare myself for the whole day's struggle. Holy Communion assures me that I will win the victory; and so it is.

The word “disciple” means “one who learns”, and the two disciples of today’s Gospel passage are obviously devoted to learning. Undoubtedly they asked themselves, “what can all these amazing events mean?”... (www.catholic365.com)

Day 4 – The Baptism of Jesus

First, a word on the Pharisees and Sadducees. Both of these were movements within Judaism. Neither of them are the levitical priests. In other words, you could be a levitical priest and you might count yourself among the Pharisees.... (www.catholic365.com)
