An inner look at The Passion of the Christ (part 4 of 5)

When the condemned criminals are led to the street, Satan makes an appearance. No one seems to see him (her?). But in this scene, Mary locks her gaze on him as if playing the game of blink where whoever blinks first loses. In this particular "blinking game" Satan looks away first as if a sudden real...

One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth.

How relevant is the Gospel message in our modern world?... (www.catholic365.com)

Death, Hope, Heaven- What Are We Here for Anyway?

In my pre-Catholic ‘pagan’ years, I worried about death. Mostly because I feared standing before a God I did not think I believed in and explaining why I had wasted knowledge, understanding, and time. After twenty years as a Catholic, I would like to think that anxiety is gone.... (www.catholic365.com)

A farmer watched a bird building its nest in a heap of branches pruned from an apple tree. Having planned to clear away that pile of branches, he destroyed the unfinished nest to discourage the bird from building it there. Undaunted, the bird started building her nest again in the same spot, and aga... (www.catholic365.com)

An inner look at the Passion of the Christ (part 3 of 5)

The Red Letter Edition of the King James version of the Bible prints in red all the words Jesus spoke himself. However in the movie, just before the soldiers are about to scourge him, he utters: "My heart is ready, O God; my heart is ready." This, of course, is not a "red letter" quote. It is added ...

Dance and Doctrine: The Company

The first one of these articles I wrote, I had a bustle of ideas floating in my mind of where to go with it next. That bustle took a while to settle, and I came to three main conclusions: 1) the postures of the Mass (and other Catholic liturgies and prayers); 2) the cooperation of the Faithful as On...

God So Loved The World

Lent is one of my favorite parts of the Liturgical year for with it comes a sense of renewal and spiritual growth. On the third Sunday of Lent our church choir that I sing in sang one of my favorite anthems that I learned back when I was in High School. “God So Loved The World” As we sang this so...

Three Things Christians Can't Say

Recently I have read several articles on social media declaring what Christians should and should not say. They are well meaning articles, rooted in truth and often written by Christians themselves. They are none-the-less concerning. It seems to me that we have shifted from what Christians can and c... (www.catholic365.com)

There is a scene when Jesus is being led away by the guards of the High Priest. They pass a bridge and because of the intensity of the blows, Jesus falls off the bridge only to be dangling by the chains that secure him. In the few moments that he is dangling, he sees Judas and they stare at each oth... (www.catholic365.com)
