What Happens in an Abortion--a Clinical Worker Speaks

Last week, I was invited to a talk, sponsored by a Rutgers Medical School student group Vita et Veritas, on conscience rights. Their existence, like other pro-life student groups such as other big universities, is always a marvel to me. How I wished I had that faith and formation when I was younger.... (www.catholic365.com)

Perseverance and Trust

Youngsters have become accustomed in school to engage in fire drills, and in some places earthquake drills. Yet who ever heard of end-time drills?... (www.catholic365.com)

An inner look at The Passion of the Christ (part 1 of 5)

We have probably watched The Passion of the Christ at least once. For others, it is more than once. And yet for others, it is an annual Lenten "ritual". For someone who is familiar with the Gospels, we find some scenes in the film that aren’t found in Scripture. The first knee-jerk reaction is to cr... (www.catholic365.com)

A Season for Healing

I am envious of the black bear that finds a warm dark cave at autumns end. He nestles in for the deep sleep that envelops him until the scent of spring flowers awakens him from his lengthy slumber. As the wintery temperatures continue to plummet I feel the cold permeate my bones, and I long for the ... (www.catholic365.com)

Sometimes we go through something that sucks the life out of us. Sometimes we go through something that we can’t even wrap our head around. Sometimes we go through something that makes us see we need to cherish life and what we have been blessed with.... (www.catholic365.com)

The Powers of Darkness

I really don’t think that most of us have any idea how much spiritual warfare and demonic evilness is affecting our lives, and the state of our souls. It is hard to understand how something we cannot see or be physically aware of, can affect us in such extraordinary and destructive ways. Many of us... (www.catholic365.com)

If a Christian is not having tribulation in the world, there's something wrong!

Why did Jesus focus on this man amidst a crowd of many who were ill, blind, lame, and crippled? Maybe he'd been sick the longest. Maybe he had more love for God than the others did. Maybe the Father had a special plan for his life. We don't know, but whatever the reason, Jesus recognized his need an... (www.catholic365.com)

This year I learned that Lent doesn't have to be depressing

We had a mild winter in Chicago this year and other than the fact that I had pneumonia, things have been going pretty well. As Lent approached, I had some great expectations, but then I just wasn’t into it. I’m sure most of you can relate to that!... (www.catholic365.com)

Persistence and Trust

Emblazoned on the tombstone of a hypochondriac was his preplanned epitaph: “I TOLD YOU I WAS SICK!” The wit of the inscription was the fact that the poor man’s persistence in his health complaints was extended beyond his demise. (He must have been “gravely” sick--if you’ll excuse the pun.)... (www.catholic365.com)

The Human Feelings of Jesus our Lord

The Holy Spirit can do wondrous things and sometimes when we least expect it. It was the week leading up to Annual Leave for 7 days; a break from work and from a ridiculously busy schedule, so hectic that I felt as if I was being run ragged.... (www.catholic365.com)

The Power of Presence - St. Joseph and Modern Day Men

On March 19th and 20th the Church celebrated the Solemnity of St. Joseph, the foster father of Jesus and the spouse of Our Lady. St. Joseph tends to get lost in the shuffle when we think of great saints of our Faith.... (www.catholic365.com)

Shopping Carts, Taxes, and Hip Replacements

With the possibility of the repeal and replacement for Obamacare, my Facebook timeline has been abuzz. One side calls for compassion to the poor, the other complains of higher premiums they blame on Obama. I can understand the desire to have a bit more money but I can’t understand valuing that money... (www.catholic365.com)

God is none other than the Savior of our wretchedness. So we can only know God well by knowing our iniquities... Those who have known God without knowing their wretchedness have not glorified Him, but have glorified themselves.

Time and again the Gospels tell us that Jesus came in love to call sinners: tax collectors, people caught in adultery… wayward souls of all types who suffer because of their sinfulness.... (www.catholic365.com)

Our pastor recently elected—a perfectly acceptable and understandable choice, mind you, well within his authority and not particularly a subject of contention in the parish—to move the Sign of Peace to before Mass begins and to omit the exchange by the faithful after the Our Father....

Endeavors and Trust

You can easily walk on a foot-wide beam at ground level, but you may quail at the very thought of doing it one hundred stories up in a skyscraper under construction, as steeplejacks do. It isn’t the width of the beam that makes it difficult; it’s the height of the beam from the ground. Similarly, ou... (www.catholic365.com)

A Dilemma; Choices We Must Make!

From my autobiography, which I named “Chosen by God”, there is one incident that became the most ardent event before and during my ministry as a deacon. I have always been pro-life in my thoughts and actions, and it hurts to see so much deliberate and insensitive thrusts towards all life, from womb... (www.catholic365.com)

False Teachings by a Site Called "A True Church"

I was reading through the comments section of one of the articles awhile ago on here and a commentator left his (or maybe a preferred) website as their comment. They did not say anything other than leaving the site address, but I decided to have a look anyway.... (www.catholic365.com)
