What Did She Say?!!

“Okay, let it be done. I do not know how God—I don’t know how it is humanly possible to do this on my own. But Father, I trust in You, so if You are asking me to bring into this world Your saving WORD—then let this happen—use me--Father to do Your Will.” (2015 version of Mary’s conversation ...

Today is Holy Saturday, a day of silence a day of waiting, a day of trusting. This is the day we remember how Christ trusted in the promise of God, His Father, following His will into death on the Cross, then into the grave. We know we will celebrate His glorious Resurrection and the fulfillment o... (www.catholic365.com)

Though, I haven’t published articles lately this would be a faithful topic to write about. Holy Week is not giving up a favorite food, not eating meat, or attending Mass daily until Easter. Every year during Holy Week, I’ve noticed a difference in me that gave me reminders of how Jesus sacrificed Hi... (www.catholic365.com)

A Healing Homily

There are many of life’s distractions that try to pull us away from attending Mass. Not long ago, I was faced with that situation due to a heavy heart, weighed down by anger and resentment.

Last Seven Words of Jesus: Behold Your Mother

I thought Mary's life would be spared from suffering after being greeted by an angel of the Lord as full of grace and highly favored by God.

Scripture says that faith without works is dead: “What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does n... (www.catholic365.com)
