Confronting Porn

In the past few months, there has been a curious revival of talking the “porn-myth” in certain secular circles. Russell Brand, a greasy image of compulsive sexual addiction, openly launched a crusade on porn. College campuses across the nation are campaigning for consent. Porn stars are dropping lef...

If You Don't Teach Your Children to Walk With Jesus, the World Soon Teaches Then Not To!

How do we teach our children to walk with Jesus? We take them to Mass and try to help them learn all the stories of Jesus. We give them children’s books to read or even share Bible stories with them.

The Conversion of Saul and the Infinite Merit of Suffering

Saul’s conversion on the road to Damascus is one of the most famous stories of the New Testament. Let’s look closely at some of the details. To do so first, we must go to Acts 5, where we read: But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men. The God of our fathers raised Jesu... (www.catholic365.com)

Do You Recognize the Risen Jesus?

The disciples' plans, dreams, and hopes for a savior king were obliterated on Good Friday when Jesus is beaten, scourged, and nailed to a tree next to common criminals. Unlike the disciples, overcome with despair, we know how the story ends. Victory is ours! Easter morning is in essence a flashback ... (www.catholic365.com)

Keeping the "C" in CYO Sports

One of the nicest notes I received from someone during my years of coaching at the CYO (Catholic Youth Organization) level was from a teacher at the Catholic school where my son attended. “Coach,” it said. “Thank you for keeping the ‘C’ in CYO for the boys.”... (www.catholic365.com)

Mystical Union Is Not a Fairytale

Twenty-five years ago, my husband discovered a book at a Trappist monastery that changed our lives entitled “Guidelines For Mystical Prayer” by a British Carmelite nun, Ruth Burrows.

Who is That Looking at Me?

Most of us every day will be looking into a mirror within five minutes after waking.

"It is Finished"

Many people have always speculated what Jesus meant when He said in His last breaths, “It is finished.” It must have been pretty significant for Him to take that much effort to gasp those words being encompassed with pain.
