New Year Resolute-Tions

Now that the dust of the New Year approaching and coming has settled, it's time to nestle back up to our work schedules, battling the tough task of writing a seven, without needing to scratch out a six before hand. It’s life as usual, but let's not forgot those goals we’re all reminded to set someti... (www.catholic365.com)

Maria Anna Barbara Koob was born on January 23, 1838 in Germany. The year after her birth, her mom and dad emigrated to America, settling in Utica, N.Y.

Sometimes you can tell what something is by what is isn't.

Often, our journey through life is like wandering through a thick forest, zigzagging here and there trying to find clearings in the underbrush. We cannot see where we're headed. Sometimes we feel lost. Maybe we are lost! We certainly get confused at times.... (www.catholic365.com)

A native Roman, Sixtus was a prominent Roman clergyman for some years before his consecration, going back at least as far as Pope Zosimus.

The Seven Heavenly Virtues

Most Catholics know about the seven deadly sins: pride, greed, lust, anger, gluttony, envy, and sloth. Fewer are familiar with the seven, heavenly virtues that serve as counterparts to the seven deadly sins. It’s important to know about these virtues, or good habits, so you can answer the call to pe... (www.catholic365.com)

A Religion of Peace?

In his dialogue with Euthyphro, Socrates poses a crucial question that has application even today. He asks Euthyphro “is what is holy, holy because the gods approve it or do they approve it because it is holy?” Put in other words, he is asking whether something is good because God commands it or w...

If the Devil Can't Make you Bad, He Will Make You Busy

“If the Devil can’t make you bad, he will make you busy.” I heard this quote not long ago and it stopped me in my tracks. It spoke to me in a very honest and open way, and caused me to reflect on my life, and how I was filling it up.... (www.catholic365.com)

Hoping in the storms of life

As I watched my own world tumble and crash, I had two choices to make; to go down with it or rise above and run to Jesus. I chose to run to Jesus. Built on my foundation of faith, this running was to the anchor of hope I have in Him. Hope is the second virtue of our faith. It is what anchors the sou... (www.catholic365.com)

A Bible Reading Plan (Revised)

I do not like to make New Year’s resolutions because my good intentions usually evaporate by mid-month.
