Everyone seems so shocked and surprised when we hear about a sudden death. It seems to hit people especially hard when it is a celebrity or someone who is still young. Even people of Faith, seem to reel in the tragedy of a life lost “too soon”. What exactly though is “too soon’?... (www.catholic365.com)

Carrying A Heavy Load

Galatians 6:2 says, "Carry each other's burdens and you will fulfill the law of Christ." God did not create us to be alone. He called us to be around others. He does not intend for us to journey through the hardest times of our lives alone. He wants us to carry each other's burdens. He wants us to b... (www.catholic365.com)

We Never Lose Our Value in God's Eyes

This Christmas message by Archbishop Thomas J. Rodi of Mobile, Ala. Is a good example of what I call “a Jesus story.” The message takes something familiar to the listeners and shows it in a different light to teach a truth which listeners will remember. The story causes one to think and hopefully ... (www.catholic365.com)

Please Call Sin a Sin

In between my attempts to earn an undergraduate degree, I worked full-time for a New England supermarket chain. There was a manager there whom I admired for his hard-work and, more importantly, his hard-hitting truth-telling.... (www.catholic365.com)

5 Good Minutes with God: How does God share his grace?

A small amount of yeast mixed into a lump of dough allows it to become a wonderfully sweet-smelling loaf of homemade bread. That seems a good analogy of how God often works. In order for God’s grace to have an effect we must actively accept it into our life - just as one would knead yeast into flo... (www.catholic365.com)

What if St. Paul encountered Christ, but then didn't follow Him?

Too often, I assume that the saints would, naturally, follow God's will in their lives. I mistakenly believe that it was easy for them--of course they responded correctly, they are saints.... (www.catholic365.com)

The "right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" begins with "life", and "life" begins at conception.

Like many of today’s political leaders, Herod foolishly believes he can defeat the will of God. Driven by fear and hatred, he becomes a mass murderer of the most innocent among his people.... (www.catholic365.com)

A Pioneer of American Catholicism

As a new year begins, we look back on not only the blessings of the last year, but the trials we have endured as well. We often pray that the year in store for us will not be as full of trials as the last one, if we have any in the coming year at all, but we forget that it's how we handle the trials...

The lamp of the lamb

I was not into community until this year. I was spiritual and living a life of a monk. But the situations, experiences and word of God wanted me to focus on prayer and community this year. I was not sure how this new call would fall into place as I am naturally an extremely private person.... (www.catholic365.com)

Is the Catholic Church Mixed with Paganism?

I agree that modern Christmas is commercialized terribly, but regarding the date of Christmas being changed by the Church to fit paganism, and other accusations that the Catholic Church is a corrupted form of Christianity by paganism,... (www.catholic365.com)

The Least (and Most Annoying) of These

It’s so easy to be self-consumed in this world of ‘me’ and iThings and instant gratification. It’s so easy to scoff at others’ complaints when yours are clearly much bigger. It’s so easy to be self-consumed and egocentric on social media where likes and shares boost your dopamine levels until you’re... (www.catholic365.com)

All I have seen teaches me to trust the Creator for all I have not seen.

"God is love.” There’s hardly a less controversial statement in modern Western culture than this one. But if you were to press people as to the implications of this simple statement, you’d quickly see a divergence from the scriptural witness to this belief that God is, in His very Three-Personed nat...

I'll Be Your Mule If You Will Be My Donkey

Washed in Waves of Sobriety - a Catholic Sober Lady in Vegas!

I recently attended a 12 Step conference in Las Vegas. I did not realize how odd that sounds until my last day there. On the drive to the airport, sitting comfortably in the front seat of a nice Range Rover, the Uber Driver asked, with all sincerity, "Is it a good idea for you people to come to Las ...

The Evolution of Judaism into Catholic Christianity

At the time of Christ, Jews lived in Synagogue communities that supported their members in good times and in bad. If a member committed a serious sin, they could be expelled from their community. These Jews celebrated a Passover like meal on Friday in their homes. During the Last Supper, Jesus evolv... (www.catholic365.com)

The history of persecution is a history of endeavors to cheat nature, to make water run up hill, to twist a rope of sand.

Jesus cautions us to “beware of men.” Other humans will persecute you for your faith and this does not exclude close relatives. Most people who convert to following Christ as an adult or who grow up in the faith but get serious about it as an adult have experienced this.... (www.catholic365.com)
