Forget those resolutions - let's make some goals

I’ve never been one for making New Year’s Resolutions. Maybe it’s because I know I won’t keep them and it’s only a resolution for things I know I won’t do as opposed to doing better. But, now goals are a different story.... (www.catholic365.com)

The Child and the King

The Gospel for Epiphany tells of the visit of the magi, who follow a star to find the newborn king of the Jews. These men stop in Jerusalem seeking direction from King Herod and his scribes and high priests. Herod is “greatly troubled, and all Jerusalem with him,” at the news of the birth of the pro...

My Cross, My Life and Wisdom

I’m sad, but extremely happy, when I think of the bad times God pulled me through. The more I suffer, the wiser I become. God gave me the gift of Wisdom at my baptism when I was only a few weeks old. Pope Francis tells us that Wisdom is seeing through the eyes of God.... (www.catholic365.com)

Does The Catholic Church Believe in Ghosts?

Everyone wonders from time to time if a ghost may be in their presence. Some of us hope to catch a glimpse of one of our loved ones that have passed on. We want to know that they are okay. But as Catholics, should we believe in ghosts on earth? We hear of real life ghost interactions all the time o... (www.catholic365.com)

God's Will.....Are you listening?

The things that happen to us throughout our lives are known by our Heavenly Father way before our birth. He knows what we say, think, do, He knows us inside and out without a word spoken. It is humbling to think of this as a mom, I do not know my children to this extent.... (www.catholic365.com)

Am I being lied to?

Have you ever wondered if you believe a lie? There are lots of things we simply do not know for certain. Can we trust what the majority says is right and true? I lived as a victim of a lie for many years. I became so convinced the lie was true that it became a subconscious fact. The lie I belie... (www.catholic365.com)

Divine Mercy in my Soul!

In October I spoke at the Daughters of Isabella meeting about our Divine Mercy prayer ministry every Friday at 3:00 PM here at St. Charles. I told them I was hoping that our Friday Divine Mercy would build up during the year of Mercy but it did not.... (www.catholic365.com)

Our Gifts For Our King

This year, as we've celebrated the feast of Epiphany, I have been reflecting on how the journey of the Magi and our own personal journeys are much alike. Of course we are not all kings, or learned scholars, but we are called to follow Christ, the star, wherever He leads.... (www.catholic365.com)

Loving Through a Loss

A few days before Christmas, I lost my beloved friend of 15 ½ years. Eamon was a black and white cat I took off the street. We lived together in four (4) different places. When I took him in, I was living in a 547-sq-ft apartment. I subsequently moved to a second apartment with double that space, an... (www.catholic365.com)

Try to put in the hearts of your children a love for home. Make them long to be with their families. So much sin could be avoided if our people really loved their homes.

The home is a treasure if it is based upon our heavenly Father’s home: if prayer is at its center.... (www.catholic365.com)

Euthanasia: When It's Cruel to Be Kind

Death is as common as birth, obviously, but old age homes and palliative care facilities efficiently remove the dying from the public eye. Consequently, most modern folks are ignorant about the process of death and dying and would rather ignore the entire subject. No wonder euthanasia is gaining acc... (www.catholic365.com)

The Importance of the Feast of the Epiphany

Within a few days after the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ many folks are fond of saying “Christmas is over, I’m ready for summer.” Decorations in homes begin to come down, Christmas merchandise is at least 50% off in retail stores, and life immediately goes back to “normal.” The memory of...

The Real 12 Days of Christmas

Many of us recognize the day of the visit as the Feast of the Epiphany. The dictionary defines the word ‘epiphany’ as “a moment in which you suddenly see or understand something in a new or very clear way.” That certainly describes what the three kings were feeling that day....

In my experience, nothing divides the Catholic community more quickly or neatly than a discussion of liturgy. I was astounded when I came into the church, the passions that a simple change in liturgical practice could produce. Thus, it was no surprise when Cardinal Sarah’s invitation to resume a ...

Well done, is well said.

John argues in the first reading from Mass that if we say we know Christ but do not keep his commandments, then we are liars. Just because we celebrate Christmas or attend the midnight Mass on Christmas eve, does that mean we know and love Jesus? He invites us to keep Christ’s word by living as Chri...
