Mercy in the Midst of Horror

Just a few years ago, I was a snobby high school student. A group from my school was in Washington, DC, and part of the trip was going to a museum. The selected place was the National Holocaust Museum, but we were told that the group from my school could go to a different one, especially since none ... (www.catholic365.com)

Who Do the Crowds Say That I Am?

Opinion polls and surveys are very popular. It seems our entire society is being run by opinion polls these days. Most politicians check survey results each morning to discover what values they believe in. Some won’t even choose which tie to wear (or which pantsuit) until they get the latest report ...

Playlist: Summer Rain

The weather has been gorgeous in the Chicago area! Thanks, Jesus. But we all know it’s coming, that stormy afternoon, and what then? Mope? Whine? Read? Coffee date? Maybe, just maybe, it’s time to meditate.... (www.catholic365.com)

Death and Dying

Each of us has known the death of someone close to us; sometimes death is unexpected, sometimes it is after the passion of suffering. Always death of someone makes us think of our own mortality; our thoughts vary with our relationship to Jesus.... (www.catholic365.com)

Buddha never claimed to be God. Moses never claimed to be Jehovah. Mohammed never claimed to be Allah. Yet Jesus Christ claimed to be the true and living God. Buddha simply said, "I am a teacher in search of the truth." Jesus said, "I am the Truth."

God is not one who waits for us to just survive this life, but rather God is actively prodding us to build God’s kingdom each day. This daily grind takes work in a world where caring for others is counter cultural.... (www.catholic365.com)

Prison Ministry

I wrote this 4 years ago. The story is about the 1st time I did prison ministry with our group from church. I completed my orientation and was approved as a volunteer. The prison team from St. Charles and a few parishioners from St. Patrick’s met for lunch at the Dutch Café across the highway from t... (www.catholic365.com)

Showing Gratitude for the Ultimate Gift

All human persons share one ‘characteristic’ in common; regardless of ethnicity, country of origin, age, political party or spiritual or moral values and beliefs. What is that one thing? Take a guess. If you guessed that we are each a gift [freely bestowed upon our parents, siblings, and even fellow... (www.catholic365.com)

5 Minute Gospel; God Loves You

"For God so loved the world that he gave his only-begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16) This is probably the most famous verse from the Bible, and rightfully so, it is known by both believers and non-believers alike. In this one verse we see... (www.catholic365.com)

To possess possessions, a man will "sell himself" to have what another has, but it never dawns on him ~ that the more he gets, the less he keeps of himself.

It all comes down to what we love. Never one to mince words, in this first reading, James declares that every Christian has a choice: we can choose to be lovers of the world and therefore enemies of God, or we can choose to be lovers and friends of God, but therefore enemies of the world. But we can... (www.catholic365.com)

Seeing God in the Obscurity of Faith

I’ve crossed the threshold into the unseen reality. There’s an unseen beauty, an unseen perfection, an unseen light and wonder of our invisible God. My eyes are useless. My senses are of no good for I can only see the glory of God with my spirit, my soul, with love. This is called faith.... (www.catholic365.com)

Mary's Resurrection: A Mother's Heart Made Whole and New!

Made New. What beautiful words! They are words we not only long to hear but make our own! Redemption, second chances, a new start are at the very core of what it is to be human. The opportunity to make things right again make life worth living.... (www.catholic365.com)

A Month of Reflections (Autism and CFS under one roof).

I saw a tweet earlier today (or yesterday as it is 1.03am!!) that I think was quoting something Pope Francis said, which is “People with disabilities are a gift for the family.” Wow! How powerful and thought provoking is this statement?... (www.catholic365.com)

Flung In the Mud and Trampled Underfoot

During the hour of Divine Mercy (3:00), I like to walk over to church and be with Jesus. He’s my next-door neighbor. As I’ve mentioned before, I can see the doors of the church that lead to the chapel and the Blessed Sacrament from my kitchen window. (I know. I’ve got it good.)... (www.catholic365.com)

The Glory of God!

I was moved by Wisdom 13 this morning. God is more beautiful than the most beautiful sunset, the ocean in all its grandeur, a field of bright white thick unblemished snow. God is more beautiful than lush green mountainous woods.... (www.catholic365.com)

Let's Talk About Mom: Mary Mother of God

As the month of Our Lady drew to an end, I couldn’t help but feel a little maudlin; I’m sure many of you did and do as well. However, there is great joy in knowing that our love for Our Lady is not reserved only to May, and neither her love for us.... (www.catholic365.com)
