Happy Advent! Are you preparing your heart to be a manger for Christ's birth?

In a recent email from Real Life Catholic, Chris Stefanik wrote about this being a time for Jesus to be born into our hearts. And saying, “This Christmas, we hope and pray your heart is a manger for His birth.” Now that’s an Advent I want to be a part of. Being a Christian, this is what we are to... (www.catholic365.com)

Ideas cannot be fought except by means of better ideas. The battle consists, not of opposing, but of exposing; not of denouncing, but of disproving; not of evading, but of boldly proclaiming a full, consistent, and radical alternative.

Advent, 2016. Here we go! How can we make this proclamation with our lives this Advent? How can we share the good news in a world that is so frantic and busy and started selling Christmas in October? Sadly, many families really don’t know the true meaning of Christmas.... (www.catholic365.com)

Sustaining Providence With Promises

Though I have previously written about “divine providence” in the Catholic spiritual life before, the meaning of the term is worth revisiting.

Pope Boniface I And The Fifth Schism

Boniface was a native Roman, son of a presbyter, Jocundus (maybe Secundius). He was elderly at the time of his consecration. We know this because he was ordained by Pope Damasus, who ruled 366-384.... (www.catholic365.com)

More Bars in More Places

In the course of discussing--of all things--the Confession of St. Augustine, a friend described the spiritual life as being like a cell phone. The more open we are to reception, the more we receive; and if we wander off into a cell-hole, reception gets bad.... (www.catholic365.com)

"Love the Madonna and pray the Rosary, for her Rosary is the weapon against the evils of the world today. All graces given by God pass through the Blessed Mother."

Like the Assumption, our celebration of Mary’s Immaculate Conception tells us something very important about humanity: that is, humanity as we were meant to be “in the beginning”. Our belief that Mary was conceived in the womb of her mother, St. Anne, without Original Sin tells us as Catholics that ... (www.catholic365.com)

Spiritual Numbness

You know that feeling you get when you don't feel right? Like, you're just, off. Almost like you don't have an opinion about much and nothing really seems that great to you. You aren't mad, you aren't sad, and you aren't happy. You're just numb. You know that feeling, right?... (www.catholic365.com)

Messages To Ourselves

We all have images of ourselves. Some days we love ourselves more than others. Some days we just don’t like ourselves. Our hair doesn’t look good, we feel fat, whatever it may be. It might even be that someone has said something bad about us.... (www.catholic365.com)

A house must be built on solid foundations if it is to last. The same principle applies to man

I don’t think that job of building the foundation is one job that is ever done. Our foundation is so vital that we always have to make sure it is on that rock and not the sandy, shifting ground. We are not always wise.... (www.catholic365.com)

The Cheerio and the Sacred Heart of Jesus

I cleaned up the mess of a 15 month old boy's self instruction in the art of eating, only to find an hour later I missed one more little crumb maker in a corner of the kitchen. I used to get mad at messes like this, but over the last year I've chilled out a lot.... (www.catholic365.com)
