Having the kind of friends that can own the title “treasure” (Sirach 6:14) takes something very specific. It takes virtue.... (www.catholic365.com)

Little Boy: Big Faith

I just had the privilege of seeing the premiere of Little Boy courtesy of the Archdiocese of Boston’s generous benefactors who bought out the Burlington AMC for the night.

Please Pray For Me!

Have you ever been asked to pray for someone? I bet you have. Especially with all of the social media sites out there. I am sure you get at least a few prayer requests a week, if not more. It is one of the things I do really like about social media.... (www.catholic365.com)

‘How Come You Catholics Try To Earn Your Way Into Heaven?'

"How come you Catholics try to earn your way into Heaven? Didn’t you ever read the Bible? Salvation is by FAITH ALONE. St. Paul wrote to the Ephesians, ‘For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not from you; it is the gift of God; it is not from works, so no one may boast.’ You Ca...

Newlyweds and To-Be-Weds, Avoid this Young Marriage Trap

The other day, I encountered a very troubled bride. It was her wedding day, and instantly, her words, her demeanor reminded me of myself, of many other brides I've known.

The Bible and the Blessed Mother

Did you ever do something on a dare? Well, perhaps it was more a challenge than a dare in my case, but the effect was the same. When, after a long absence that began in my turbulent teenage years, I returned to the Catholic Church, my brother and I got into a conversation about faith. He, like many ... (www.catholic365.com)

The Trials of Jesus

When reflecting on Jesus' crucifixion, many are brought to tears and feel shame, knowing that they are part of the reason it ever happened.

Captivated By Exuberant Easter Joy!

I have been captivated by the response of the crippled man who was healed through Peter and John in the Acts of the Apostles.
