Faith alone is faith in oneself

On my virtual walk through the internet, I met a fellow with whom I had a discussion about salvation. He is one of those who always asks, "Are you saved?" And then extolls the value of the false doctrine of faith alone. At one point, he said this to me. Faith in works to obtain salvation is not f... (www.catholic365.com)

01/01/2017—Unto Us a New Year Has Been Given

I am working this day: and as the second hour of the eight hour shift started; I am praying ‘God help me make it through the day, may all go well.’ I am also thinking—“oh, seven more hours to go and how long that seems to be.” That is when these thoughts came and quickly written down—for I ...

Baby Lola and Our Lady of Dolors

This name I have heard all year, from my four year old, who has a little friend name Lila, but he calls her Lola. Every time time he said it, it melt my heart and I quickly fell in love with the name. So when I fell pregnant, the name Lola was on my mind.... (www.catholic365.com)

Spiritual Direction

Life’s roller coaster can often lead us to put our own spirituality on hold – often simply because we “don’t have time” to devote to our faith. I recently changed jobs – completely new city and entirely new career path – and occasionally I’ve found myself so absorbed in work that I put off my own sp... (www.catholic365.com)

The sun is quietly descending into the gulp of the horizon. Evening light is beginning to bud as the shadows lengthen and soft blue covers the brilliance of the reflecting snow on the ground. Without noise, the world turns on its axis and day bleeds into night and night blossoms into day, over and... (www.catholic365.com)

Greccio and the First Crib

When the Crusaders opened up the Holy Land to pilgrims, they set the scene for a new dawn in Christian Spirituality in the twelfth century. This new dawn had two distinctive phases. The first involved a growing interest in the Jesus who had lived and died before the Resurrection. The second phase in... (www.catholic365.com)

Pondering the Mystery of God's Love

As the Church celebrates the Solemnity of Mary, the Mother of God, the Gospel reading brings us back to the humble stable where, attended by shepherds, oxen, and angels, Jesus was born. Through Mary’s acceptance of God’s holy will, she brings forth God’s blessing for the whole human family.... (www.catholic365.com)

The Perfect Marriage

Can a Saint sin?

Recently, someone on the internet said that once a man is justified, he becomes a saint and can no longer sin willfully. This is a Reformed doctrine which comes from a misunderstanding of St. Paul's Teaching that salvation is "not by works." But that is all it is, a misunderstanding.... (www.catholic365.com)

It’s best not to issue a challenge to a class of bright people. It has a way of ricocheting. I recently posted a series of questions for my RCIA class that included a list of Biblical personages with the query: who are these people, what did they do and what does it teach us as Catholics. One smarty... (www.catholic365.com)

Why I Went to West Webster: a catholic firefighter's experience of a double line-of-duty-death

In the early-morning hours of 24 December 2012, I found myself in an area inaccessible to Wi-Fi and telephone connections. I did, however, manage to get one text from our newest probationary firefighter. "Firefighters shot in Monroe County, NY." I spent the next half hour trying to establish a phone...

The Catholic Virtues

Virtues! We all think we have virtues, but so many people can’t name more than a few of them. In the Catholic Church, there are three very distinct categories of virtues which we all should be praying to have more of. The first category is known as the Cardinal Virtues, the second is known as the Th... (www.catholic365.com)

Living with a 400 year Russian Byzantine Icon of Jesus Christ Pantocrator of Sinai.

One of the most beautiful moments in history was that when pregnancy met pregnancy when child bearers became the first heralds of the King of Kings.

Mary did not procrastinate, put off, delay, make excuses, rationalize or justify postponing her trip; rather, she followed the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and moved immediately. Lesson! Upon receiving good inspirations from the Holy Spirit, we should be both docile and prompt and obedient to res... (www.catholic365.com)
