Rings and jewels are not gifts, but apologies for gifts. The only gift is a portion of thyself.

This Gospel is one tough message. It’s not enough to just follow the Commandments. Jesus wants us to sell what we have and give it to the poor to enter heaven. He tells the apostles “it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for one who is rich to enter the Kingdom of God.”... (www.catholic365.com)

Consider four situations in which you might exercise trust. First, it’s very risky to entrust your life savings to a person who hates you. Second, it’s less risky but still quite chancy to entrust your life savings to a stranger who neither loves nor hates you.... (www.catholic365.com)

Catholic Warning: Children are from outer space.

I have extremely...uhm...lucky...to have taught kindergarten catechism for a few years. For those who have never tried teaching complex Catholic dogma to a group of 15 five year old children, I will, in my own limited way, describe what insanity follows.... (www.catholic365.com)

Pray For The Lost

I've noticed something when I've gone to Mass. Sometimes death turns people away from God. A person loses their loved one and they don't come back to Church. And I'm not sure why that is. But I am sure about what to do for those people, and that is pray.... (www.catholic365.com)

Answers to a Non-Catholic

I participate in several Catholic pages on Facebook. One of them is the page “Catholic Fundamentalism”. The author, whose name I don’t know, mostly attacks Evangelical Christianity/Protestantism. As a result, of course, the page attracts a lot of attention from non-Catholics as well as some fairly w... (www.catholic365.com)

Preparing for Lent

Lent is a solemn Liturgical Season designed by the Church to draw us closer to the Lord. As we enter Lent, let’s reflect on Matthew 27:46: “My God, My God why have you abandoned me?” [Matthew 27:46] A few verses later, Matthew writes that Jesus “cries out again with a loud voice and then yielded up ...

Giving Up Facebook for Lent

The most known vices that Catholics give up are sweets, caffeine, and beer. Although these can bring you to your knees in prayer (I thought I was going to die one year abstaining from caffeine), the greatest vice of this day and age is social media, particularly for me, Facebook....

Every child comes with the message that God is not yet discouraged of man.

Is it a coincidence that this Gospel passage immediately follows Jesus’ teaching about the sacred integrity of Marriage? The Church has taught for some two thousand years that the begetting and rearing of children is integral to the nature of marriage: the willed exclusion of this goal dissolves the...

The Temptation To Compare: A Lie From The Beginning

Maybe it’s just me, but it seems like comparison is a huge temptation these days. I know it is for me. By comparison, I’m talking about the tendency to look at someone else’s life or gifts and feel sad, upset, or even to fall into despair that you do not have the same kinds of gifts or talents that ...
