I write this in hopes that by the time this article is published, it might be considered archaic and behind on current events. However with a pending court case, that remains to be seen.... (www.catholic365.com)

He who has faith has... an inward reservoir of courage, hope, confidence, calmness, and assuring trust that all will come out well — even though to the world it may appear to come out most badly.

This Gospel is asking us to think what our intentions are when we go to meet Jesus. Some go without faith, without recognizing His authority: this is why, «the chief priests, the teachers of the Law and the elders came to him and asked, «What authority do you have to act like this? Who gave you auth... (www.catholic365.com)

The First 3 Joyful Mysteries: Analogy of all Human History?

If the birth of Christ symbolizes, by Advent Tradition, the Second Coming of Christ, perhaps the whole time period in months from the outset, that is, from the conception of St John the Baptist, all the way through to that same birth of Christ is an image of the whole Divine Plan....

Matthew 16: Catholic vs. Protestant

The primacy of Peter is perhaps one of the strongest points of contention between Catholics and non-Catholics today. Since the Protestant Reformation in the 16th Century, a plethora of interpretations have developed surrounding the famous passage of Matthew 16:18-19, where Christ declares that Peter...

Forgiveness Is Awesome, But Sin Still Hurts

At Mass this weekend, all three readings have the same theme: God’s forgiveness. In the first reading, the prophet Nathan confronted King David. David recently had done a couple of rather nasty things. First, he committed adultery; then, in an attempt to cover it up, he committed murder.... (www.catholic365.com)

A Case of Mistaken Identity

I’ve read many remarks from readers both of my articles and those of other authors here. One comment in particular that has caught my attention is the Facebook posters who will make the angry comment, “I’m not going to read this site anymore. I thought this was a source of sound Catholic doctrine bu... (www.catholic365.com)

Killing messes up our heart.

My son David is against all killing. I tend to agree with his reasons for not wanting to kill, not wanting to kill even insects. Killing anything messes with our heart. Here’s a mix of what I learned from him and my own take on it.... (www.catholic365.com)

You don't know how to pray? Put yourself in the presence of God, and as soon as you have said, 'Lord, I don't know how to pray!" you can be sure you have already begun.'

Excessive anxiety, worry and fear rob many people of their inner peace. The stresses caused by the demands of modern life are having serious consequences on people's mental health, which in turn are having serious effects on people's physical health.... (www.catholic365.com)

Jesus and Extraterrestrial Life: Meditation on John 10:14-18

This article will discuss a theory that is not Church teaching or doctrine. It is a theory I have not encountered elsewhere, but feel should be pondered and further explored. I do not wish to offend anyone in writing this article and if it comes across as heretical or absurd, please discredit or dis... (www.catholic365.com)

Pregnancy, Wonderful and Beautiful! Revelation of the Developing Old Testament?

just as a beloved lady must carry a child in her womb for nine months, so, in any world that would happen to Fall and that was to then receive an Incarnation from God, I believe that there would need to be the same nine theological phases of history to prepare for Incarnate One....

God Loves that Guy

I was in church during Adoration not too long ago and there was praise and worship music playing in the background. There was a song talking about a man strapping homemade bombs to his chest. I was thoroughly confused,... (www.catholic365.com)

Preach the Gospel at all times, and if necessary, use words. So goes the saying often attributed to the Italian saint, Francis of Assisi. Implied, of course, within this famous quote, is the idea that we have the ability to preach the gospel with the whole of our lives.... (www.catholic365.com)

Joy vs.Happiness

At a weekend retreat I attended with my husband, the director of the retreat, a young priest, used the theme of joy for his conferences. He began by comparing joy to happiness, and explained that happiness is something that we experience based on conditions—I’m happy because the weather is nice (if ... (www.catholic365.com)

When we face our maker, we will not be asked, 'How many positions did you hold,' but rather, 'How many people did you help?"

Some of us, people of ‘position’ for example, have the attachment of seeking to be first among many. St Mark in this gospel reminds us that those that wish to be great will be called to serve, those wishing to be first among us should be the slave of all. This is an important message, and lesson, fo... (www.catholic365.com)

Love Makes the Word Go Round

After sitting down to write this article I googled: number of couples still married after forty years. Some interesting references popped up but the one that caught my eye was titled 40 Lessons from Forty Years of Marriage by Dennis Rainey. I shouldn’t have read it! Not because I didn’t agree with ...

Building Memories

In old age, one often closes their eyes to reflect upon the past, a past composed of people- like stepping stones in a babbling brook. One remembers children, their birth and antics; loves, some whom have passed on. Happy memories keep one attached to other people; things and places aren’t sentien... (www.catholic365.com)

Reality Check: Does Having Judeo-Christian Values Make You a Candidate for Genocide?

The words--annihilation, extermination, carnage, and slaughter, to name a few, are synonyms for the word "Holocaust". The word "genocide"not invented until 1941, fits right in there. But none of those words bring us to the core of what those words truly represent. They are the by-product of the male... (www.catholic365.com)
