My Cup Overflows

Have you ever heard of the saying, “Don't cry over spilled milk”? I'm betting you have...but what does it mean? People use it to say 'don't waste your time over something so small that can't even be undone.' But could it mean more than that?... (www.catholic365.com)

My Mother's Day Paradox: I Can't Wait for It to End

Mother's Day is here again and, I have to tell you, it is not my favorite day. Please do not misunderstand, I certainly have nothing against Moms. Heck, my wife was a mom, my sister is a mom, my daughter is a mom and I have nieces who are moms and so on. I know thousands of Moms and, for the most ... (www.catholic365.com)

Motherhood Remains: Honoring Mothers Who Have Lost a Child

Freshly picked bouquets stacked in bunches, lovely hydrangeas planted in bright pink pots, cards spilling out into the store aisles and 1-800-BUY-HER-THIS commercials repeating on the radio: all reminders that Mother's Day was on the horizon.... (www.catholic365.com)

Best Laid Plans

As with many Catholics, I do some spiritual reading from all different people from various Christian faith traditions. I would like to share something I took from one of those readings (even if it wasn’t the author’s real purpose of the article).... (www.catholic365.com)

Rather Like Poetry

I have met a few people in my life whose wisdom, though quiet and unpretending, has had a great influence on me. Most often I do not know much of their history, but I always wonder – what made them so wise? When I have looked into it, I have come across a commonality: they all had to endure some ser...

Compassion Always, Compromise Never: Why Spokane's New Bishop Will Be Great

The Diocese of Spokane received its new shepherd, Bishop Thomas Anthony Daly of San José, California, a couple months ago, and for me it was like an early Christmas present. Not having a bishop for all of Lent and the better part of 4 months was a bit of a bummer, so the long-awaited news was like m... (www.catholic365.com)

The Great Masquerade

What comes to mind when you think of masquerades? Balls? Phantom of the Opera? Costumes? Beautiful dresses? Charades? Harmless fun or deceit and treachery? Today or a by-gone era?... (www.catholic365.com)

The Power of Forgiveness

I think it would be safe to say we’ve all declared, "I’ll never be able to forgive him/her,” at some point in time. Granted, those words are usually not literal … just a spontaneous reaction to a minor transgression that is quickly forgiven and forgotten. Unfortunately, it's not that easy with major...

There Are No ‘Gay' People

The words ‘hashtag’, ‘selfie’ and ‘tweep’ were among 150 new words added to the Merriam-Webster's dictionary this year; and with selfies being taken by everyone from Barack Obama to Pope Francis to Kim Kardashian, it’s little wonder this word is among those making the list. While the evolution of la... (www.catholic365.com)

“Heaven needed another angel.” I don’t know how many times I heard that in the weeks following my daughter Lauren’s death. My first thought was, “Well, why did they have to pick my kid?” That was my raw response - the one coming from pain. But I smiled on the outside, thanking them for their kind wo...

What is holiness? I’ve often wondered this as I read the Bible and other spiritual books, and came away feeling that it was a mystery, a divine secret which maybe I’d learn about … one of these days. But I’ve come to the conclusion lately that it’s not all that mysterious, so let’s dig into it.... (www.catholic365.com)

Faith of our Fathers: The Father of All Lies or Arius: One Dimensional Answer in a Three Dimensional World

To the Mother of Freddie Gray

I won’t pretend to understand your life, because I know I have no clue. I take for granted the safety and security of suburbia, our good schools, and our quiet neighborhood. I have no idea what it takes to raise kids in Baltimore. I know my situation is different and my experience is different, and ... (www.catholic365.com)

Our Mother Mary

In one of the greatest gifts to Man by an intensely loving God, Our Lord Jesus uses some of His final words, painful as it was to do because by this time even breathing was difficult, to do two things; first, to request that the beloved disciple care for His Mother in her grief, and, most important,...
