Speaking in Tongues Part 1

In writing to the Church at Corinth Saint Paul took three chapters of his first letter to them to discuss the subject of spiritual gifts. Among the many problems with that church was an inappropriate obsession with what is called “the sign gifts”.... (www.catholic365.com)

Suffering and Hope

Those verses are important. God wants us to have hope even in the midst of storms, even when going through suffering. He does not want us to give up, think that what we are going through is too hard, or that we are not able to get through things. He wants to grow, to become stronger, to find Him in ...

How I Learned To Pray!

I attended a lesson at church on how to pray. I took notes. I learned good ways to pray. I learned how prayer can help me get closer to God. But I wondered how easy it is for most people to just jump in and pray these different ways?... (www.catholic365.com)

Reflections on The Passion – Victory and Salvation

In reflecting upon the Stations of the Cross over the past few weeks, I had several ideas, and I kept recurring back to a similar theme: the victory and salvation Jesus won for us all on the Holy Cross at His Crucifixion.... (www.catholic365.com)

Good Parenting Doesn't Guarantee Good Results

Last Thursday, I found myself engaged in a parent-teacher conference of sorts. Since we're home schoolers, parent-teacher conferences generally look like me getting pulled aside by a fellow parent so they can inform me of some disappointing situation my offspring has engaged in or facilitated....

A Master Waiting on the Servant? Preposterous

In this week’s gospel reading, Jesus told an interesting little parable. He compared being a disciple with being a servant on a big estate. At the end of a hot day, the servant came in from working in the fields, and he did not expect the master of the estate to invite him to dinner.... (www.catholic365.com)

Christ died not so that you could freely go on sinning, and therefore, continue dying; He died rather so that you could freely grow in obedience, and therefore, start living.

For God so loved the world He gave His only son. There is no greater love. He didn’t come to take away our suffering or challenges, He came to share in them with us, to be fully with us in life’s difficult moments.... (www.catholic365.com)

Lightning Flash vs. Bread Crumbs

More than likely we know someone who has had a “lightning flash” moment with our Lord and must share that experience with everyone they know, because of their generosity and well, lightning! I mean it’s hard to deny the wonder that surround these experiences and to not be somewhat jealous of such a ... (www.catholic365.com)

Her Wounds……Our Gateway to Healing and Wholeness Part 1

When I woke up the other morning (August 26th), my roommates told me it was the feast day commemorating the Black Madonna. I saw this beautiful image while taking a class trip to Czestochowa, Poland in 2003.... (www.catholic365.com)

How Much Does God Love Mary?

I was attending First Friday Mass with my husband and was happy to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation prior to Mass. Some people find sitting in a confessional to be daunting and humiliating. I find that sitting with my parish priest, who represents Jesus, to be a peace-rendering experience; on... (www.catholic365.com)

We Can't Give Up: Why Marriage Matters

Hardly surprised that we were headed toward troubled waters again, I thought I knew enough to weather the storm (fairly) unscathed. After years of marriage, we've endured more than a few disagreements, but most of the time we've easily found our footing and resolved our differences.... (www.catholic365.com)

Where would we be without the Cross?

Let us reflect first on one simply reality: if it were not for the cross, we wouldn’t be here now. I would never have written these words, and you would never have read them. Without the cross of Christ, our lives would be so much different, and, dare I say, so empty and meaningless and ultimately h... (www.catholic365.com)

People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

These few words, "Do not weep", encompasses one of the many reasons why Christ's coming to the world. Today's moving gospel reading from St. Luke reminds us that Jesus came to wipe away our tears, to soften our pain, and to lighten the burden of life.... (www.catholic365.com)

It has always been difficult, for me anyway, to decide if I’m going to face the priest in the confessional or not. For quite a while I didn’t have a choice since the church I went to didn’t have very many screened confessionals. Even when forced to sit in front of the priest, I didn’t look him in th...

Besides writing these articles for Catholic365.com, part of the ministry that we do online is to read the articles written by others on the various Catholic blogs/websites and respond to some of the questions raised by the Protestants that tend to lurk around Catholic pages… especially on the Facebo...

Letter to Tim Kaine, Vice-Presidential Candidate

As a proud convert to Catholicism, I am aghast and appalled by your proclaiming to be a devout Catholic. According to the dictionary, devout means: deeply religious; devoted to a particular religion; loyal to something; devoted to a particular belief, organization, person, etc. Being devout also mea...

Slaves to Sin No More

I used to have a professor who would say, “The only true freedom is the freedom from slavery to sin.” He said it often. I don’t know what else I learned in his classes off the top of my head, but those words are clearly etched in my brain (which I suspect was his point).... (www.catholic365.com)

There is a Crisis of "Fatherless" Children in America; We Should Turn to St. Joseph for Help

September 8 was the birthday of our heavenly mom, Mary. On her birthday I also always think of Mother Mary’s husband, St. Joseph. Without him there would be no birthdays to celebrate, either on September 8 or December 25. When God chose Joseph of Nazareth to be the foster-father of His only Son, He... (www.catholic365.com)

Gender Ideology and the Destruction of the Family

Pope Francis is insisting on the beauty of the family and in the care we must take so it can continue to be the base of our society. Although, in these days, it is threatened and the great threat is the gender ideology.... (www.catholic365.com)
