Five great enemies to peace inhabit with us: avarice, ambition, envy, anger, and pride.

In this gospel, Jesus teaches us that forgiveness can overcome hate. However, we do not just forgive because we feel helpless or gravely embarrassed. Quite often, the expression “to turn the other cheek” is misinterpreted as waiving our legitimate rights.... (www.catholic365.com)

True Freedom and the Beautiful Life

Our country is once again on the eve of the celebration of our Independence Day, a day which we rightly commemorate because of the victory won for human dignity; as freedom was gained for a people to live life according to the dictates of conscience, not the mandate of the state....

How Much Does Entertainment Cost?

We in America are often told to think ourselves fortunate. We can wake up without fear of persecution and death. We see food in our cupboards and clothes without holes in our closets. There is money in our wallets, ready to pay for our favorite morning drink at the most popular coffee shops in our a... (www.catholic365.com)

Decision Making

I have written a lot of posts on choices. Everyday, just living in general, we make hundreds upon hundreds of them. We are constantly weighing the options of what ever situation it is that we have in front of us. Whether the choice be a very minute one, or something that can be earth shattering, if ...

When you say you love me...

All men seek to love, and be loved in return. In a world in which ideal love seems to be crashing down around society in backseat promises, selfishness, and fear, love is not love anymore. Well, at least, it’s not what it should be. There is now “love” and then there is love. You can take a guess at... (www.catholic365.com)

Making the Daily Divine: The Divine Office Explained

When Catholics are asked what they struggle with most, the answer is often prayer. Prayer is an especially difficult practice for us to keep because it is often understated and easy to forget about in the bustle of our everyday lives. We often forget to pray before meals, and we most certainly for... (www.catholic365.com)

Truth without love is brutality, and love without truth is hypocrisy.

As humans, it is so difficult to be truly loving and forgiving persons, and we are tempted to take care of the appearances and thereby to acquire a reputation for virtuous living as we continue to be judgmental and unforgiving of our brothers and sisters.... (www.catholic365.com)

Missionary Work Still Needed Among the Wolves

In this week’s gospel reading, from Luke, chapter 10, we read about the time Jesus sent seventy-two of his followers out on an important mission. They were to go into all the towns and places that Jesus intended to visit, and they were to proclaim, “The kingdom of God is at hand.” Their task was to ... (www.catholic365.com)

When you’ve attended Catholic schooling your entire life as I have, there are things that are engrained in you from an early age that non-Catholics or public school Catholics might not fully grasp in the same manner. Along with terminology—monstrance, vespers, narthex, sacristy, adoration and scapul... (www.catholic365.com)

Brexit and Stemming the Tide of Secular Globalization

When you keep pushing and bending a piece of wood, one of two things are likely to happen: either the wood breaks, or your hand just might slip and the wood springs back and smacks you in the face. The systematic implementation of and insistence upon a comprehensive policy of globalization and nouve... (www.catholic365.com)

Spotlight, Mercy, and the Future of the Priesthood

As a general rule, I always say that in order to truly understand a movie, I should see it twice. Yet, after seeing Spotlight, I never thought I would watch it again; it was hard enough the first time. But, when my Mom mentioned she wanted to see it, I told her I would go with her, almost without he... (www.catholic365.com)

God is never a God of discouragement. When you have a discouraging spirit or train of thought in your mind, you can be sure it is not from God

It is Barnabas’s community in Antioch that first garners the name “Christian,” in part because his community included people as diverse as two North Africans, a former persecutor, and a friend of Herod! This motley crew of fellow travelers on “the Way” crossed so many ethnic, political and social li... (www.catholic365.com)

Sex and the Single Pope

Let’s first off say it’s rather uncomfortable to talk or hear about sex from anybody you respect, like your parents, a teacher, and especially a priest. Not that it isn’t in a priest’s duty to talk about temptations of the flesh. In fact, as certain sins arise from the subject it can’t be avoided.... (www.catholic365.com)

Sick and tired of being sick and tired?

We earnestly desire holiness. We know we have imperfections that get in the way. Most of us could list weaknesses like fear, anxiety, control, selfishness, pride, laziness, or lust. Whatever is on our list, we pray constantly for God’s grace to fill up what is lacking to help us survive the daily... (www.catholic365.com)

Never Forget That Every Little Effort Counts

Last night, a friend of mine posted a Facebook invitation of sorts to one hundred of her closest, local friends. She knew we were all active in the pro-life movement in some way or another and felt called to ask us to write a Letter to the Editor of our local newspaper. Many of us had written in the...
