…when the door starts closing a bit because of our weakness and sins, confession reopens it.

Jesus is calls us out of our conceited selves and reminds us that holiness is not something that we put on for others to see and notice. It is more important to nurture our relationship with God than to receive the empty admiration of others.... (www.catholic365.com)

Don't Read Scripture like the Devil! Read it like Christ!

Jesus taught us that a very important principle - the principle of the unity of scripture. He taught us that scripture must be read as a whole and not in isolation.... (www.catholic365.com)

The Importance of Tradition in the Liturgy: Latin

In continuing my series of articles on traditions in the Mass, my next topic is arguably the most important and most iconic tradition of the Roman Rite. Latin, up until the Second Vatican Council, was almost the sole language used in the Roman Rite of the Mass.... (www.catholic365.com)

What I've Learned from my Spiritual Director

A few years ago, I found myself smack dab in “mid life” gasping for air. I couldn’t breath. The reality that my 20-year marriage had ended left me in shock. It was as if I had been run over by a truck — a big, nasty, mud truck. Confused and unable to think clearly, I sought help from my parish pries... (www.catholic365.com)

Pope Liberius I

Pope Liberius is the first pope in history not to be awarded sainthood by the Church. Once you read the controversy which embroiled his papacy, you will understand why. Having had the freedom to practice the Faith for slightly more than a generation, the politics of the Church had become so entwined... (www.catholic365.com)

The Sin and Virtue Series, #1 of 8

Peace be with you, Belovéd. This summer we take up a series on a topic that will frankly make some people angry. It's a topic that used to be stock trade in many denominations. Some called it "hellfire and brimstone." Some referred to it as instilling guilt in the hope of feeling the conviction of s... (www.catholic365.com)

The pretense of self-sufficiency is the enemy of salvation. If you "think" you are self-sufficient, you have no need of God. If you have no need of God, you do not seek Him. If you do not seek Him, you will not find Him.

I sense that Jesus is saying to us that we can all be saved. He is telling us that it is not something we can take for granted.... (www.catholic365.com)

God Floods Louisiana with Grace

Life on the Louisiana bayous is quite serene. Summers are hot and long, but tranquil and beautiful. A bayou is a slow moving body of water. There are many bayous in southern Louisiana. The water is a murky brown color and does not seem to be moving at all.... (www.catholic365.com)

In my Christian walk I’ve noticed something very specific about God: He doesn’t like part time Christianity. He fully expects us to be committed in our walk with Him. Christ knows when we are only in half way. In scripture, Christ calls this being lukewarm instead of hot or cold. There are consequen... (www.catholic365.com)

Call No Man Father

This question is one of the most common from the anti-Catholic wing of Protestantism (a decidedly small but vocal minority). It's one that I never had a problem with myself, even years before my own conversion. This is by far my shortest post, mostly because this is a very easy claim to refute.... (www.catholic365.com)

Charity is no substitute for Justice Withheld

Loving Everyone

I was listening to the radio this morning, and it was mentioned that part of loving God is also loving others. And that struck me. It’s so easy and natural to love God, but people, not so much.... (www.catholic365.com)

Liturgical Catechesis: The Community As Transformational

From the earliest years of Church history, catechesis and liturgy have demonstrated a strong bond. This connection is clearly present in the RCIA process. The RCIA is profoundly liturgical and catechetical, and these two ecclesial activities are intricately interwoven as adults journey forward to ... (www.catholic365.com)

One of the biggest flaws of people are pretending to be blind to their own mistakes, but do not pretend to be deaf towards the mistakes of others.

Jesus forgave and accepted many sinners in his lifetime - tax collectors, prostitutes, adulterers, soldiers, criminals, etc. He was, however, particularly severe on hypocrites, and his most severe criticism was reserved for the Pharisees.... (www.catholic365.com)

The World of Ben Hur

I should not be surprised at how opposed am I to the opinions of the pundits. But once again, my polar reaction to the majority is about the new movie, The World of Ben-Hur.... (www.catholic365.com)

And Jesus healed them all. Simon's mother-in-law experienced the miraculous touch of Jesus, and all who heard came at once to be healed by Him. They came the next day as well. "Everyone is looking for you," His companions told Him, so Jesus continued healing the sick, driving out demons and preach... (www.catholic365.com)

I Have Come To Set the World on Fire.

Jesus’ statement of fire is the fire of his love; it is powerful, all consuming in Christ’s love for his Father and his creation. Jesus wants the whole world to burn with the intensity of love he has for his Father and man.... (www.catholic365.com)

Jesus' Message Is Radical

It’s ironic that in today’s culture, followers of Christ are commonly associated with traditional values and old-fashioned views. However, Jesus Christ is the most radical, bomb-throwing revolutionary ever to walk the earth.... (www.catholic365.com)

Taking a closer look at Our Lord, the Shepherd

It’s a familiar, but perhaps too familiar, concept that we seem to overlook and gloss over when it is read or heard. “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.” (John 10:11)... (www.catholic365.com)

When I left the house this morning it was very cold. I thought, “Why do I get up so early to set up the altar for Mass?” I knew the answer to that. After setting up for Mass and saying the Morning Prayers with the others, I wrote this in my notebook. “Why do I desire to spend time with my Lord? Beca... (www.catholic365.com)
