God, Job, and the Nobel Prize

I really enjoy reading George Weigel’s articles in the Catholic Times newspaper because he does an excellent job of giving not only his personal opinion, but he helps to sort fact from fiction, highlighting the crucible of moral reality which we must struggle with each day....

Don't Worry, God's Got This

I’m a control freak. Let’s get that out there. Go figure, I got into youth ministry, which is the poster child of fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants jobs. Seriously, I have anxiety when I don’t know the schedule or when no one emails me back within 24 hours. I know; I need to relax.... (www.catholic365.com)

Faith of Our Fathers Bishop Stratophilus of Pitiunt

Many of the very rich accounts of the travels of the early Apostles have been forgotten or lost to history. Much of the history of the early church has also been forgotten.

How to Make a Priest

As the mother of a priest, I occasionally hear comments about “thank you for your son” or “how blessed we are for our son.” I also get asked what we did to have a priestly son. I can honestly say other than having a male child, it was totally the Holy Spirit that made my son a priest.... (www.catholic365.com)

I'm nothing... I'm so very nothing without...

Just as Lent approached, I had a proverbial smack in the face from a friend about my lack of friendship. I asked, "Who am I?" On Fat Tuesday, my husband and I, realizing a lack of empathy in our marriage, both sighed, "Who are we? We need Lent."... (www.catholic365.com)

Why Heaven Won't Be Boring: What Seeing God Face To Face For The Rest Of Forever Means

What is the goal of our life? What is the final end which God wills for us? It is nothing other than the Beatific Vision, the face to face gazing at God. But if the very point of our existence, the very reason that God created us, was so that we could experience the Beatific Vision for the rest of f... (www.catholic365.com)

A story of someone. He was at weekday Masses, two pews behind me usually. We always shared a smile and sometimes an occasional word. My sister knew him better than I as she lived there for over 30 years and I only two. I should have asked more about him from her. I wondered was he married?... (www.catholic365.com)

Do You Celebrate Christ

I know that as Catholics sometimes we can get caught up in rituals of the Mass, especially if you are one that attends daily Mass. Yes it is beautiful, and meaningful but for those of you that are cradle Catholics and have witnessed the same event every Sunday or daily, you can have a tendency t... (www.catholic365.com)

As a Roman Catholic living in a predominately Protestant city, I get some interesting reactions to the way I practice my faith. I live in Abilene, Texas and I really do love this city.
