Light of the World

Do you think a streetlamp knows how much light it gives the street and houses it illuminates? Or maybe it feels lost in the darkness - especially if it is on a lonely country road without another streetlamp nearby. What about the sun? Does it feel closed in, surrounded by darkness? So far from the n... (www.catholic365.com)

What is Faith? Another Great Paradox - Part ll

There are zillions of pithy one-liners that try and capture the essence of faith. At first glance they may seem clever and spot on but after closer introspection, they come across as deceptive and shallow. Not one of them can begin to capture the essence of FAITH but yet they try.... (www.catholic365.com)

Love The Resident Alien

I caught myself whining the other day. We're in the middle of a few home improvement projects. Where is my book? Why is the ladder here? Do I really have to wash all the walls? Where's the spackling? As I was feeling sorry for myself, I began to ponder the plight of people forced from their homes du... (www.catholic365.com)

50 Days of Cadbury Eggs: Easter Is a Season, Not a Day.

Easter is a season, not a day. The same goes for Christmas. There I said it. I find it utterly confounding at times that so many Christians, Catholic or not, treat Advent and Lent as seasons, as well they should, yet seem to apparently celebrate Easter and Christmas as only one day festivities. Wh... (www.catholic365.com)

The Light of the Trinity

Many people who criticize Christianity say that Christians worship more than one god. After all, how can Jesus and God and the Holy Spirit be gods at the same time? You worship 3 gods? So Christians are polytheists, right? Wrong.... (www.catholic365.com)

Being Vulnerable

I am a generally introverted person. I spend my Friday nights in bed with a movie, my Saturday afternoons at a small workplace without much interaction, and I really only interact with many people on Saturday mornings at Mass. It’s something that I’ve always tried to work my way around, ..... (www.catholic365.com)

Happy Easter, and Ho! Ho! Ho!

Here we are; it’s finally Easter. This is the perfect time to talk about … Christmas. Christmas?! Well, sure, why not? It only seems logical that as the Christian community directs its attention this week to the Resurrection of Jesus, we should also give some thought to the miracle that made it a...

The Mass is the ANSWER for it is the Most Beautiful Thing This Side of heaven

Something deeply mystical happens on Holy Thursday that many people (this may include some Catholics) do not understand. I refer to the Mass of the Lord's Supper. Lent ends when this Mass begins, which is usually in the evening. This Mass commemorates the night when Jesus instituted the Holy Eucha... (www.catholic365.com)

The Other Side of the Stone

Social surveys have shown that, for reasons unknown, more women than men tend to be late for appointments. But on one momentous occasion—the greatest in human history—women arrived long before any men did. Their early dawn arrival at the scene with embalming spices on that first Easter morn reflec...

Why Easter Matters

“And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost. If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied.” – 1 Corinthians 15:17-19. What a glorious cause for celebration. I ... (www.catholic365.com)

Finding the Ultimate Pleasure Park

We live in a world where pleasure-seeking has become a highly prized ritual. And we keep upping the ante on what constitutes “pleasure.” Sado-masochism is being normalized, evidenced by the immense popularity of “Fifty Shades of Grey.” Addiction is rampant, and kids are smoking more than “plain old ...

The More I Know the Less I Understand

You know, this faith thing is confusing, sometime. Once you see the practice of it, and the more you make an effort to practice it, the more confused one gets. The more you learn about it, i.e., the Saints, Church History, etc., the more you realize how little you really know.... (www.catholic365.com)

I need a hero. I long to be inspired. But in today’s culture, we seem to go out of our way to knock people off their pedestals and make sure that everyone’s imperfections are brought into the full glare of social scrutiny. Still, I yearn for a hero – someone to look to for an example of strength and... (www.catholic365.com)
