Smile! God loves you!

Though we may continually fall into sin, we still have an all-powerful God that loves us. Nothing we can do can stop Him from loving us. Indeed, we are not more powerful than God. He died to remove our sins, even those we are in the midst of. He is not going to cast us aside. Doing so, He would... (www.catholic365.com)

I was changing my daughter’s diaper the other day, always a joyous occasion. As I finished and went to prepare her bottle I started thinking. She doesnt really know whats being done, what’s going on, or all the ‘behind the scenes’ things her mother and I do for her. The very basic sustenance she rec... (www.catholic365.com)

We can have super powers like super heroes. Our super powers come not from ourselves, but from God. Jesus even told us, “whoever believes in me will do the works that I do, and will do greater ones than these, because I am going to the Father.” – [John 14:12]... (www.catholic365.com)

Working for Mercy

In a day and age that perpetually screams at you if you attempt to tell someone that what they are doing is morally wrong, it can be pretty hard to convince yourself to even try anymore.

Someone I Love Was Never Born

I won’t get to post pictures, she won’t be showered with gifts. I’ll find solace in the memory that she once did exist. I heard her heartbeat and she now lives in mine, will never forget that sound that began to change my life.... (www.catholic365.com)

Passing on Our Faith

Being a lifelong Catholic, I've gotten to experience a lot of things in my faith. I got to be one of the first girl altar servers at my parish.
