"Cowardice asks the question: is it safe? Expediency asks the question: is it politic? Vanity asks the question: is it popular? But conscience asks the question: is it right?

In our first reading from the Mass the people appear on the surface to be devout. They offer sacrifice. They burn incense. They celebrate their religious festivals. Yet, beneath the veneer of worship, the people were judged to be as sinful as Sodom and Gomorrah. Their society is corrupt.... (www.catholic365.com)

I bet you've seen the fundamentalist bumper sticker that says, "God said it! I believe it! That settles it!" It must be a typo because what the driver really means is, "I said it! God believes it! That settles it!"

The “something greater than the temple” of which Jesus speaks is, of course, Jesus Himself. As the Old Testament priests served in the Temple, so the disciples of Jesus serve in His Presence. It is in serving Him, and especially in offering priestly sacrifice through Him, that the meaning of all Chr... (www.catholic365.com)

Rejections and Disappointments are Part of the Training Regimen in God's Gym….

I can remember, when I was a boy, waiting to be chosen on a team when in the neighborhood, or schoolyard, we played some kind of a team game. I was not a particularly gifted athlete, and so I was rarely chosen in the top few. I remember how that felt.... (www.catholic365.com)

There is a God and He is good, and his love, while free, has a self imposed cost: We must be good to one another.

We must vigilantly strip away all our prejudices; rout them out as soon as they are revealed to us. As Christians, our desire must be to embrace Jesus’ the message of love and mercy even when it is NOT convenient—the message of the cross.... (www.catholic365.com)

To confess your sins to God is not to tell him anything he doesn't already know. Until you confess them, however, they are the abyss between you. When you confess them, they become the bridge.

n the readings from Mass, we see the Lord speaking to various cities and communities, and not in the most approving of ways. In both the first reading (Isaiah 7:1-9) and the Gospel noted above, the Lord has reproach for these cities which have seen the goodness of the Lord.... (www.catholic365.com)
