It is the greatest of all mistakes to do nothing because you can only do little; do something.

Just like the centurion, we should look to those in need with the same kind of sympathy regardless of our status. As Christians we should always look beyond our own situation and even defy society's expectations for the sheer well-being of those that suffer.... (www.catholic365.com)

Faith alone people suffer with two false assumptions.

The difference between Catholics and Protestants is that they see faith as something that they can measure. Therefore, they claim to be saved by faith alone. I'm reminded of the question that faith alone people ask faith and works people.... (www.catholic365.com)

There is only one kind of shock worse than the totally unexpected: the expected for which one has refused to prepare.

“Stay awake!” Jesus shouts this to us in the Gospel on this First Sunday of Advent. These words sum up the whole season. These words sum up what the original Christmas was like for Joseph, Mary, Elizabeth and Zechariah, for King Herod and the three wise kings, and for the innkeepers whose homes were...

The Last Day On Earth

Should we live today as if tomorrow may never come? Should we let go of everything as we know it and do what we please, to experience it? Because God forbid if we didn’t experience the next exciting encounter or take a trip to some exotic location in the world!... (www.catholic365.com)

All Souls Day Reprise: Purgatory and Inner Beauty vs Mere Imputation

Everything that’s built by human beings can be destroyed. That’s why something like the Great Pyramids of Egypt are so awesome: not simply because they are so colossal, but because they have—to an amazing extent—survived the ravages of time.... (www.catholic365.com)

Fatima: Communism and Relativism as Fulfillments of Assyria and Babylon

It is now some 99 years ago that the prophecy of Russia's horrifically persecutive atheism was sealed with the greatest public miracle since the Resurrection, the incomprehensible spinning and hurling of the sun toward earth at Fatima, witnessed by some 70,000 persons or more, and that was reported ...
