What is the Deal with Intercession by Saints?

Recently, I was called to serve on a jury in a criminal case here in Austin, Texas. The accused in this case made an extraordinary tactical blunder: even though he was offered legal counsel free of charge by the court, he chose to represent himself.... (www.catholic365.com)

From Free Agent to Franchise Player in the Field of Faith

One thing a football fanatic does while waiting for the next season is to watch players move from team to team through trades. Along with being a football fanatic, I am a writer with WMD (Whirling Mind Syndrome). Free Agent Frenzy got me thinking (uh-oh) about my faith journey in football terms.... (www.catholic365.com)

Jesus, Remember Me

The rich man in Luke's Gospel (Lik16:19-31) was trapped in making himself the center of his actions. Suppose he really listened to Christ and transformed his life, could he really be a new creation, a new reality? Is this possible? Is there someone who is an example the rich man could see, and wh...

The Dynamics of Forgiveness

Forgiveness consists of more than you seeking forgiveness from God from your sins and God granting it. There is a level, a dynamic, to forgiveness which eats at many like termites on wood.

God of the Superheroes

I wish I had a spiritual life like that of my four-year-old son. Like many boys his age, he has in the past year become fascinated with superheroes and all their extraordinary powers. For him, however, this has also coincided with a period of great new awareness of the presence and nature of God.... (www.catholic365.com)

The Majority Opinion

Truth and lies are of no consequence to anyone in society without an opinion that ultimately tells us which to believe. It is not the truth or the lie that matters. The majority opinion always rules. In fact, both expressions are only assumptions of what corresponds to the facts of reality. The proc... (www.catholic365.com)

Lent and the miraculous hoax of grace

As we are in our season of Lent at the Gambill house, the theme of grace and mercy are the prevailing marker by which we continue to live. We have chosen to not so much give up things but to give in to God. Give in to His voice, give in to His path without kicking and screaming or complaint.... (www.catholic365.com)

Lenten Deep Cleaning

Once we had a vacuum cleaner that would only suck up a certain amount of dirt. For some reason the dirt was not going into the canister and was only going through the hose. We kept cleaning the dirt out of the hose and it kept getting clogged up.... (www.catholic365.com)

The hidden life of the Holy Family

In the Gospels, it says “Mary treasured these things in her heart.” Moms do that. They keep memories. Have you ever wondered what memories Mary treasured? We don’t know the hidden moments but we can take guesses. Mary was a mom. I bet she told St. Anne about baby Jesus first step.... (www.catholic365.com)

I have a dear friend in our Bible study, and she shared something special she did for her three daughters with us. As each of them started at college, Cheri made a point to get them settled in their first dorm rooms and to create a bed “haven” for the girls. It was very important for her to give t...

Faith of Our Fathers: Who Beget Who? The Science Doesn't Add Up

Where do we come from? Almost all of us wonder about this mere fact at one time or another in our life. “Evidently many scientists have not been worrying about this enough.” For the past several decades evolution has been taught in the classroom as a science and now maybe we should look at the scien...

Why This "Jesus Freak" Became a Catholic

I was pretty nominal Methodist as a child in the 60s. My faith wasn't very vital (to put it mildly), for whatever reason. I was very ignorant of theology, and didn't have a good Sunday school, or much at all to teach me otherwise. But 1977 I became an evangelical Christian.... (www.catholic365.com)
