Saturday — the day between — the nothing day — the no thing day, no trials or scourging, no crying out or dying to even talk about it seems useless because that was yesterday, and today is just today, taking us to tomorrow.... (www.catholic365.com)

Reliability and Trust

A seven-year-old lad was excited about being on a fishing trip with his father. At what seemed like a good area in the lake for fishing, the man stopped the boat and told his son to throw the anchor overboard. The boy promptly obeyed, only to see the anchor, along with its attached rope, sink out of... (www.catholic365.com)

The significance of the name Barabbas

As Catholics, we know that names are important. We name our parishes, our schools, and our children after saints and notable figures from the bible. The significance of names is not strictly a Catholic thing, however. The ancient Jews and the Jews of Jesus’ day understood the importance of names.... (www.catholic365.com)

What Did Jesus Accomplish on the Cross?

One question that I've thought about quite a bit over the years is this: Why did Jesus die on the Cross? I grew up in a good Catholic family and have long known what Jesus did for our salvation, but the question of why his death was part of God's plan is a bit trickier, isn't it?...

An inner look at The Passion of the Christ (part 5 of 5)

For Catholics, Mary's participation in the Passion is significant. She wasn't just someone who witnessed it: she also took part in it. From the story of the Annunciation, she conformed to the plan of God and accepted to be the mother of the Messiah through her "do unto me according to your word." (L... (www.catholic365.com)

An irreligious society cannot endure the truth of the human condition. It prefers a lie, no matter how idiotic it may be.

Deception and treachery all around! There is a lot of discussion today in our political arena about “fake news” and “lying.” Some would even see such deception as a valid political strategy. But the Gospel today remind us that deception and failing to grasp the truth have dire consequences.... (www.catholic365.com)

Chapter 3 of Ephesians strikes me as the high point from which the final chapters flow back into daily life – a less lofty place. I feel a kinship with St. Paul, who seems to find himself transported up into contemplative rapture, try as he might to take slow, careful steps up the mountain, leading ... (www.catholic365.com)

I spent a lot of Wednesdays and Sundays in a church that really didn't recognize Lent. The pastor preached instant forgiveness and promised that God could not even remember your sins once you confessed them mentally to Him. He preached about Lent, Confession, Penance, and other Catholic practices on... (www.catholic365.com)
