Book Review: Miracle Man written by Judy Kline

I read “Miracle Man” in two and a half days! Normally, books take me a lot longer to read, but I couldn’t put “Miracle Man” down. “Miracle Man” is the true story of a man named Bernie and the fulfillment of God’s plan for him and his family. Not what was expected or wanted, the journey direct... (www.catholic365.com)

Are Catholics 'Born-Again'?

At some point in life, almost all Catholics are confronted with a Bible-thumping, scripture throwing Protestant who dares to ask ‘are you born again?’ Since Catholics do not normally use this term, and many may be unfamiliar with how to answer that question, it is important to understand two vital p...

Coming Home to the Catholic Faith

I was sitting around talking to some friends the other evening. Our conversation revolved around typical thirty-something mom things -- children, husbands, books, school. Then somehow we landed on the topic of faith, Catholicism specifically.... (www.catholic365.com)

I’ve recently heard some interesting cases where supposedly clear thinking individuals had a knee-jerk reaction against public displays of anything “too Catholic”. You can hear the polite commentary: “Oh no, it just isn’t done – Catholic stuff, I mean. Free country and all – but Catholics really sho... (www.catholic365.com)

An Unexpected Gift

As I sit in my window seat, gazing at the newly fallen snow, its color so white, so pure, so beautiful. The way it covers the ground, the wires, the trees in simplicity creating a one of a kind masterpiece. It’s profoundly peaceful. I take a deep breathe in and close my eyes, and think of a verse...

Jesus Wore Purple Knickers

One truth I have been reflecting on lately is how Jesus took on our shame. He literally took on our shame when he died such a shameful death on the Cross. Since he took on our shame, we do not need to walk in shame. Often however we do walk in shame because of past hurts and sin we have experienced.... (www.catholic365.com)

Remember the Pay it Forward type project we did in our parish during Lent two years ago? We matched money we would have spent on fast food, petty stuff or movies etc and put it aside for charity?

So, How's Heaven?

I know you're there, waiting for me. So, how's heaven, really? Are the angels always flying around or do they stop and talk with you? Do they walk with you? Do you have a home where you live, or do you travel all over heaven walking with the angels or Our Loving Lord? I have a friend you've neve... (www.catholic365.com)
