The freer a man is to himself the greater slave he often is to the whims of others.

This Gospel is short, but profoundly important: Jesus said: Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light. (Mt. 11:... (www.catholic365.com)

Mary's Perfect Submission to God's Will

Christians talk a lot about God’s will. We seek to know God’s will, we try to do God’s will, and many of our prayers conclude with, “Thy will be done.”... (www.catholic365.com)

She Treasured These Things in Her Heart

Over the years, one of the phrases regarding Mary that stood out for me was, “She treasured these things in her heart.” It comes up a couple of times in Luke’s Gospel (different translations have slightly different wording—the NAB now has “kept”) as events unfold in Jesus’ life....

Protestantism, Enlightenment and More as Possible Prophecy: the Trumpets of Apocalypse

I have elaborated on the trumpets of Apocalypse before. Obviously, taking them literally as physical woes is absurd, as in Chernobyl, or some other craziness. And why?... (www.catholic365.com)

To Heaven You Shall Go

Something that never occurred to me when I lost these babies, is that I was accompanying these babies to heaven. And though it has taken many tears to realize this, I feel incredibly blessed to have been chosen for this task.... (www.catholic365.com)

God throws nobody away. God loves everyone, seeks out everyone, everybody -- one by one.

What does it mean to be a "lost sheep?" In Jesus' context, he was most likely talking about people who have forgotten about God or who have lost their faith. Most certainly, he was also referring to the marginalized in our community, those who are suffering, the poor, the downtrodden--the ignored ... (www.catholic365.com)

Our lives are not perfect. In fact, they often contain heartache and sorrow. And, of course, our individual problems pale in comparison to the suffering of the world itself. It’s hard to figure out how an individual can make much difference in resolving war and political conflict.... (www.catholic365.com)

A Variety Christmas

My husband and I usually throw good parties. So good, in fact, that we find many people forget that they have to go home at some point, not that we mind. So when we noticed one Christmas party a few years ago in which the usual energy was missing, we were both a little surprised and alarmed.... (www.catholic365.com)

Advent - A Preparation for Christmas

As each year draws to a close, and Christmas fast approaches, we tend to focus on what is obvious – putting up our decorations, trimming our tree, shopping for friends and family and eating every type of desert known to man. And before you know it, time has escaped us.... (www.catholic365.com)

On Original Sin

In his classic book, Orthodoxy, GK Chesterton quipped that Christianity begins with the doctrine of Original Sin, which, he says, “is the only part of Christian theology that can be proved.” His point is that all men must agree on the doctrine of the Fall regardless of whether they profess it or no...

Love properly understood is the most beautiful thing.

Many times we think of love as a feeling. An emotion that we have little control over. If we based love merely on feelings and emotions, how would we know if it is love or merely indigestion? Feelings and emotions are very hard to control. If we let them control us, then we have become a slave t... (www.catholic365.com)

When prodigals return great things are done.

If the world—in all its unfairness, injustice and evil—doesn’t make sense, neither does the response to it that God the Father gives. Why did God send His Son from Heaven to earth, where He knew that there would be men like King Herod, Pontius Pilate, and Judas Iscariot? God did this, and He still d... (www.catholic365.com)
