Holy Thursday Reflection: Worthy Feet

The basin is filled. He ties a towel around his waist. He kneels in service. I feel not worthy. He's showing me the way - that all are worthy. He gently guides my weathered, callous and tired feet into the basin of water and it quenches the thirst and soothes the hurt from miles of terrain…all ... (www.catholic365.com)

My Jesus in the Garden

We all experience times, when our minds take control of our hearts. Many years ago, I went through a period of intense worry. All details aside, suffice to say, I was overwhelmed. Life as the mother of two boys, under the age of 2, was ripe with challenges.... (www.catholic365.com)

When I was about six or seven years old I loved Superman. I wanted to be Superman. One day I made a cape out of a bath towel, climbed up on my twin bed next the window, grabbed the string attached to the curtain rod, tied it to the belt loop on the back of my jeans, and jumped off the bed expecting ...

Five Faces of the Hours of the Passion of Christ

Around the campfire in the courtyard of Caiaphas I sit. Memories surface with each spark of fire; memories are buzzing like angry gnats. Memories disturb my uneasy being; I am quaking with fear of someone discovering who I am. It is something I also ask myself. Who am I? Is this my hour of suf... (www.catholic365.com)

Encouragement through substitutions

Two days ago I tried my hand at a bread recipe. I didn't have evaporated milk though, and so I substituted Greek yogurt. I also wanted apple cinnamon bread, so I rolled out the dough and sprinkled my apples, cinnamon and brown sugar over it, rolled it up and put it in the bread pans. One of the loav...

God loves Atheist, Islam, Christians, Catholic, and Me

Maybe, we are all wondering sometimes, "When was the last time that I thanked the Lord without asking anything of Him?"

As I meditated this Lent, yet again, on the sorrowful mysteries of the rosary, the image of Christ’s bloody body came to my mind again and again. There was the scourging, ripping the skin of the most sacred Body of Christ, the Precious Blood spattering on the ground. As I thought of the crown of tho... (www.catholic365.com)

Father Ignatius in hell

The first thing Father Ignatius noticed as he entered hell is the total and absolute darkness of the place. Not the faintest glimmer of light shone in that bottomless abyss of intense void.
