You Are God's Beloved: God Wants to Marry You

Like many people, I have felt aches and desires for more in my life. Despite loving relationships, a fulfilling career, and a growing spiritual life, I often still feel an emptiness – a pull if you will. A desire that goes unfulfilled, that others just can’t satisfy.... (www.catholic365.com)

Want an intense workout? Try Mass

In today’s modern culture we are obsessed with appearances of the body. The fashion, cosmetic, fitness, and health industry are all billion dollar industries in their own right. Now, these industries all address a crucial aspect of what it means to be a person – to care for and protect your physical... (www.catholic365.com)

God, the Husband and Wife, and Openness to New Life: Why Catholics Must Know the Church's Teachings on the Beauty of Marriage

For some reason, it seems to surprise some that Jesus had anything to say about marriage. The possible source of this surprise is another consideration for another day, but suffice it to say that Jesus’ teachings regarding marriage were counter-cultural even two-thousand years ago....

What Choice is Ours?

If there is anything that we, as Catholics, can learn—assuming we didn’t already know this—from the abhorrent state of our nation’s political affairs, it is that we should never put our faith in men (or women).... (www.catholic365.com)

Set your table: A reflection for the offertory

I don’t know about you, but it has always been difficult for me to focus during the offertory when I’m at Mass. Between the homily ending and the Eucharistic prayer beginning, it is incredibly tough for me to concentrate on what is taking place, since up to this point, I’ve been so focused on the re...

Does this soul need to be saved?

There I was in church on the first Friday of Lent for the Stations of the Cross. It’d been years since I went to the Stations of the Cross but for the new me, this was a must. Participation was sparse. I felt bad about that. I was in a pew by myself. The man in front of me was in the pew by himself.... (www.catholic365.com)

How Do You Live in a Season of Waiting?

Our faith lives consist of quite a bit of waiting. Waiting for the next step to become clear. Waiting for God to answer a prayer. Waiting for our path and vocation to be revealed. Waiting to understand God’s purpose and hand in our life circumstances. Waiting to find happiness and fulfillment.... (www.catholic365.com)

The big mistake "Me Before You" makes

The film and its advocates will try to argue that Me Before You is a story about loving someone despite the choices they make, and so the story is beautiful and worth your time, but they are missing a bigger picture. What is beautiful? What is good? What is true? Not this story.... (www.catholic365.com)

Oh No--Termite Infestation!!

Most everyone knows the horror of realizing that there home has termites. For we know what great damage they can do if left unchecked. There are over 3000 species—but thank God only 183 of these can cause the damage that they do.... (www.catholic365.com)

(not so) Satisfied

Last weekend's gospel came from Saint Luke, and it has been on my mind all week long. It's a familiar reading. Even as a Protestant, I heard it over and over. I dare say even the non-religious type knows the story of the loaves and fishes. Jesus feeds the five thousand with five loaves of bread ... (www.catholic365.com)

If we were to gain God's perspective, even for a moment, and were to look at the way we go through life accumulating and hoarding and displaying our things, we would have the same feelings of horror and pity that any sane person has when he views people in an asylum endlessly beating their heads against the wall.

What kind of tenants are we? Those who work hard or those who get annoyed when the master sends his servants to collect the rent from us?... (www.catholic365.com)

I want to peer deeper into the wall.

In my work with families at risk, I’ve been in homes with major electrical problems. One trailer had no running water and only one working electrical plug. I would have had to make a report to Child Protective Services after the baby was born but that was taken out of my hands... (www.catholic365.com)

What's that truth on why you should become Catholic or that truth that will affirm your Catholic Faith? Well, that is the Eucharist. If you wonder what is the Eucharist, let me explain: The Eucharist is the true body and blood of Christ under the appearance of bread and wine.... (www.catholic365.com)

Theology of the Body Extended Again: Christ's Crucified Feet, an Analogy

Our feet walk the Way of Jesus, the Way of truth. Our feet are meant to walk in the path of the way. The way is lit by the truth. Christ is the truth! Hence, why shouldn't the details of Jesus' crucified feet reveal deep specificity of the truth of Christ, manifested in five great fountains, as the ... (www.catholic365.com)

A Reflection of Eternity…

At the heart of the Iberian Peninsula, on the far western edge of the old city, rises the centuries-old Alcázar of Segovia, Spain, with majestic splendour. Jutting from a rocky crag above the confluence of the Clamores and Eresma Rivers, it has defied the elements and time itself, its soaring silhou... (www.catholic365.com)

Pope Saint Caius, Encourager

Knowing our own history makes us value it more. To know the history of the Church makes us value her further. Even those people who are far into the depths of anonymity should be brought to the surface and looked at, however briefly.... (www.catholic365.com)

What Makes Us Human Makes us Beautiful

What is a human being? I know, this sounds like a silly question, but take a moment and try to answer it. If we take the prevailing knowledge of the day, we will get answers that are just as confused as the ones I receive from the students whom I present this question to.... (www.catholic365.com)
