Crises and Trust

I was transfixed, like other TV viewers, watching a child in a third-story window of a burning apartment building as the firemen in the street below were yelling for her to jump into the waiting rescue net they held.... (www.catholic365.com)

Politics, Principalities and Powers

I voted Trump. I do not wave a flag for Trump. Trump is flawed. As are we. Trump has to deal with very imperfect circumstances. As do we. We recognize and accept that perfection is the realm of sainthood; politics, the realm of the greatest good possible. We are not on team conservative. We're not o... (www.catholic365.com)

Continuation of Are You Ready

When my eyes adjusted to the dim light and I as peered into his face, tears streamed forth as I fell to my knees. My God in heaven, the Lord has brought you back! My son James was dead and is alive and well, lost in a world of utter confusion and found returning to the roots of his faith.... (www.catholic365.com)

Jesus, the New Adam, converted the OT Pharisee, Paul, and Mary, the New Eve, will convert the NT Pharisees, the Christian Right

Why is there the right and left? Is it arbitrary? No. There are two sides to a coin because there are two faculties of soul: the intellect [the head] and the will [the heart]. One extreme, the right, is to have a head but not a heart. Which is another way of saying, your head is hard, but your heart... (www.catholic365.com)

By forgiving, we open our heart so that God's mercy comes in and he pardons us. Because all of us have to ask for forgiveness, all of us!

That God the Father sent His only Son into the world so that sins might be forgiven is at the heart of Christianity. Virtually everyone knows from experience that something is wrong in his / her human condition, something no one has ever quite defined or fully eradicated.... (www.catholic365.com)

I don't believe in the institution of marriage, marriage is just a piece of paper.

My son and daughter-in-law’s wedding anniversary is coming up. I couldn’t be more proud of them both. Casey has grown up to be a hardworking man, a loving and devoted husband, and a patient and loving father. My daughter-in-law is a devoted and loving wife, a patient, kind, and loving mother who ...

Trustworthiness and Trust

During an interview, a job applicant was asked, “Do you regard yourself as a responsible person?” He replied, “Yes, indeed. My last boss said I was responsible for many things that happened in the office.”... (www.catholic365.com)

Dangerous Illusions

Several decades ago former Beatle John Lennon wrote a song whose lyrics endure to this day. It is a tragic song. And deceptive, even devilish. They encourage the listener to imagine there is no heaven, or hell . . . and by implication, no God, no Jesus, no sin, and no eternal judgment.... (www.catholic365.com)

The Truth About Purgatory and Indulgences

To understand the Catholic teaching on Purgatory and Indulgences first we have to understand how a person is saved. Protestants believe in the imputed righteousness through Jesus’ finished sacrifice on the cross. The Catholic Church also teaches that Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross provided sufficient...

Nature's Supernatural Delight

Who would have guessed that a 1972 singles hit composed and performed by King Harvest, a rock band, and an astronaut would both provide support for this article on nature’s SuperNatural Delight? Dancing in the Moonlight by King Harvest was one of my favorite tunes back in the 70’s. Did any of us get... (www.catholic365.com)

Some Saints are privileged to extend to us their patronage with particular efficacy in certain needs, but not in others; but our holy patron St. Joseph has the power to assist us in all cases, in every necessity, in every undertaking.

St. Joseph is the patron of the universal Church, that instrument by which the Lord wishes to make a covenant with each member of the human race, making each person a member of His divine Son’s Body. It is the Church that proclaims to the world yet converted the faithfulness of the Lord, and it is t... (www.catholic365.com)

Book Review of Cardinal Burke's Hope for the World: To Unite All Things in Christ

Before I began reading Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke’s 2016 book Hope for the World: To Unite All Things in Christ – An Interview with Guillaume d’Alançon (published by Ignatius Press), I was uncertain of what precisely to expect. However, I was not uncertain in what could be misconstrued as a “wary” w... (www.catholic365.com)

The Ten Commandments Partitioned: Protestant or Catholic Way? Daniel 7 will Help

In Daniel 7, I always wondered the apocalyptic meaning of the ten horns of the fourth beast. Three of them are uprooted and in their place comes up the little horn. It is greater than his other fellows and utters proud boasts and blasphemies, with eyes like a man and a mouth like a man, persecutin... (www.catholic365.com)

Sequel to "Are You Ready"?

It's been almost 17 months to the day since we were astonished when Fr. Mike came into St. Jude’s on that glorious morning, vested and ready for Mass while we were giving thanks to God for the amazing transformation from a time of disillusionment, fear, and almost hopelessness from enemy forces taki...

Why Do I Write?

Why Do I Write? This is perhaps a very poignant question since some have inquired about my efforts to put on paper my thoughts pertaining to God, inspired by the Holy Spirit, and the feeling of an infinity towards expressing what I deem as God’s way of allowing my gifts received at ordination to exp...

Sin will take you farther than you wanted to go, keep you longer than you wanted to stay, and take more than you were ever willing to give.

The first lesson is that sin can blind us to the recognition of our sins.... (www.catholic365.com)
