Does Loyalty Exist Anywhere Anymore?

I remember some years ago reading a story about a young man who, when he was still in his teen years, had a bed-wetting issue. In an attempt to break him of the habit, his frustrated parents took his wet bedsheets, hung them in the front yard, and made him sit among them with a sign which stated “I ... (www.catholic365.com)

Leave it all behind, even if only for a minute.

We can’t do that, can we? Just up and leave everything: fishing nets, homes, family, friends, career, hobbies, interests, concerns, fears, hopes, preoccupations, obsessions, weaknesses of body, soul and spirit, habits, thoughts, emotions, medical conditions, mistakes, regrets, resentments, grudges, ...

A Girl Named Ava Made Her First Communion This Morning.

While that might seem to be a common enough occurrence, there were a few variables that set this occasion apart. She was a bit older than the usual age of seven for this Sacrament—she looked to be around thirteen years old. It’s also the end of summer and a normal, ordinary, run-of-the-mill weekday,...

Dressing For Him

Dressing for everyday, no problem. Dressing for Mass, a different story. That has surely changed. When I was younger, it was all about dresses and shirts with ties. Now you never know what you might see. I often wonder what some were even thinking before they showed up at Mass.... (www.catholic365.com)

If you would have told me even just one year ago that my life would be today as it was I wouldn’t believe it. For even up until today, in some ways, I’m still more focused on my own plan and my own will than God’s.... (www.catholic365.com)

How to spot a false prophet - part 3

I realize that few people want to study the methods of the demonic. It might seem too dark of a place to go. However, my experience researching the devil gave me a better understanding of why Jesus warns us about false prophets (see Matthew 7: 15-20).... (www.catholic365.com)

Don't bend; don't water it down; don't try to make it logical; don't edit your own soul according to the fashion.

The Church celebrates the martyrdom of Saint John the Baptist. He died because he spoke the truth when it would have been easier to lie. How did he get so strong?
