Loving God or The Thorny Road Home

Mother Angelica said that "Saints are ordinary people who love Jesus." Jesus told us that if you love Him, you will keep his commandments. Love is active. We cannot just say, "I love Jesus," and expect to attain heaven. No, we must also keep His commandments. We must love God above all else, and... (www.catholic365.com)

Solicitude Not Solitude

Mercy for myself. This phrase may sound selfish. Nonetheless, I believe it’s one of the cornerstones for us to celebrate this year of mercy and the always present of God’s mercy. I guess we can start our merciful thoughts and actions with ourselves... (www.catholic365.com)

The Sacrifice of the Mass

One of the great advantages that the early Christians had over those “who have not seen and yet believed” is that they questioned many of the things that we merely accept as givens.

We must say many prayers for the souls of the faithful departed, for one must be so pure to enter heaven.

Is it possible to avoid going to Purgatory? Yes, it entirely depends on how we live. We can well understand why sins against charity, hostility, refusals to make peace, bitterness stored up inside, rejecting others and criticizing people we don’t like would send us to Purgatory....

The Conversion of the Jews, a Profound Thesis

Now, the central error of the Jewish people is that they fail to recognize that all that truly matters are the things of the heart, of inner renewal. Hence, their conversion hinges on the ability to recognize that only spiritual conversion matters, and not external realities.... (www.catholic365.com)

It is written that Jesus tells us that he will always be with us, walk with us. So there is no question or doubt as to that statement. So what is the problem? The real question is, if you will be willing to walk with Jesus? Are you the one that tends to go off on the path of your own choosing?... (www.catholic365.com)

Conscience, The Church... and Conflict?

I was recently scrolling through my Facebook news feed, and I was particularly struck by an intriguing dichotomy that someone had set up between “being swayed by the church” and “deciding with their conscience.” This is ultimately wrong, and quite unfortunate- here is why:... (www.catholic365.com)

Darth Vader, Lust, and Hell

In regards to the release of the final Star Wars "sequel," I must admit that since my profound reversion to Catholicism in the mid to early nineties, I don't take much interest in science fiction or fantasy as I have had at previous times in my life.
