Part II of An Open Letter to Catholic Young Adults

Recently I wrote an article about how confused young Catholic adults must be when considering their religion. Deluged with secular influences—in the media, in their universities, in their careers, and in politics—they must be shaking their heads and wondering who is right? Why should I be a Catholic...

Sin and Virtue Series, #7 of 8

Let's begin with the Stumbling Block in the room – The Wrath of God. So many people focus on this and humanize God's Wrath, portraying it in the same way we feel Wrath. We are convinced that God is vengeful, mean, cruel, vindictive, perpetually angry, even violent. That is just not true. Let's set t... (www.catholic365.com)

Purgatory: What'S It All About?

God respects the free will of people on earth. We can consciously choose what to do and how to do it. But since the beginning of time people have used their free will to choose sin. It is the misuse of human free will that leads to moral evil, like greed, envy, lust, lying, gossip, anger, pride, etc... (www.catholic365.com)

What Does An Old Priest Do In Retirement?

There comes a time when a priest retires … well, as much as a priest can retire given the acute shortage these days. But a time does come when for reasons of age and or infirmity, a priest is no longer able to be active in parish life and when that happens, the priest moves out of the presbytery to...

People can and will judge us everyday but God will only judge us ONCE and His judgment is the ONLY one that matters.

St. Paul speaks of his indifference to “judgment”, whether by individuals or by institutions. The ultimate act of judgment, in Paul’s text, is that which will be given by the Lord at His coming. “What will the Lord ask us on that day?... (www.catholic365.com)

I asked Jesus to break my heart everyday…and he does!

When I returned to college not too many years ago I was required to read a book for class, “What Do Jews Believe?” In his chapter on prayer David Ariel says something about praying with a broken heart. It wasn’t the most significant thing Ariel had to say about prayer but the idea of praying with a ... (www.catholic365.com)

The Labor of Obedience

Obedience: For many years, the word was a lightning rod to me. The concept connoted all that I disliked about being female: Powerless, submissive, conformance, passivity and the like. But then I became a Christian Catholic and a few years later, an Oblate of St. Benedict.... (www.catholic365.com)

Witness to the Church

Recently, at Bible Study we read John chapter 5. When reading this Chapter most people instinctively focus on Jesus healing of a man on the Sabbath. It’s a miracle so it naturally draws our attention and we know that “working” of the Sabbath is one of the things that inflame the Pharisees and turn... (www.catholic365.com)

The Font in the Fields: The Liturgical Movement Alive in Rural Kentucky

Often times, I’ve found that people are surprised to discover that summertime for a seminarian isn’t two and a half months of vacation. Most of the time, we are assigned to parishes, hospitals, or other sites for ministry internships, which take up the majority of, and sometimes all of, our summer b... (www.catholic365.com)

One of the greatest discoveries a man makes, one of his great surprises, is to find he can do what he was afraid he couldn't do.

Peter is a professional fisherman, and a tired one at that, and his first response to the Lord shows what he thinks will happen; nevertheless, he puts himself and his crew into the Lord's hands and very simply does what the Lord asks him to do.... (www.catholic365.com)

Catholics Could Change the World, if They Would Only be Truly Catholic

If we as Catholics would actually start living our Faith genuinely, trusting the Church as the representation of law and the guidance of Christ here on Earth, and made ourselves subordinate fully and wholly to God, we could change the world, overnight!... (www.catholic365.com)

Family Is the Heart of Vocation

The family is the very core of Creation. In the beginning, the LORD, Our Father, spoke the words of creation, which were sent forth by the Spirit, the Holy Spouse, in order to bring forth life.

Caught Not Simply Taught, Then Swept Into The Heart of The Church

Christianity is above all an experiential faith, a living relationship with Christ. A Christian is not a person who merely accumulates intellectual knowledge about God nor simply fulfills tradition and the letter of the law.

However, for the first time, I truly watched it with the intent of riddling out what Tolkien might have been trying... (www.catholic365.com)
