The Communion of Saints at Its Best!

How many Christians lead a double life? How many of us are Christians at only those appropriate times, Christmas and Easter, possibly every Sunday? And is it only those isolated occasions because our secular culture is marginalizing both Prayer and God? I believe so.... (www.catholic365.com)

Stay on Target!

When our oldest son was in kindergarten, one of the educational catch phrases was, “Staying on task.” I had never heard this before, so questioned his teacher. Basically, it boiled down to this: remaining in his seat and completing a project. In his defense, he already knew his colors, shapes, a... (www.catholic365.com)

The Odyssey to a Committed Prayer Life

Our life is a journey. This really makes the path an exceptional challenge for me. I am notoriously directionally challenged and seem to frequently find myself lost when navigating new destinations.

Those Gentle Urgings

Today I had an urge. I had a list of errands but something told me to delay my projects and make an Adoration pit stop. I mentally fought it. I figured it could wait till another day….one less filled with self-imposed obligations. Yet, I could not deny a persistent feeling….... (www.catholic365.com)

Good Samaritans in a Beep Beep World

My 10 year old son and I were out running errands the other day, and as we went from Sports Authority to Five Below (nirvana stores for a boy that age), we passed by a homeless man sitting on a concrete wall. He was tucked back a bit in some bushes surrounded by a low wall. It was cold out and win... (www.catholic365.com)

Go Tell It on a Mountain

Father Robert Barron, while reading his Lenten reflections brought this to my attention. A lot of things going on---on a mountain. ”The Transfiguration takes place on a mountain, and this right away places it in relation to the Old Testament. Abraham is willing to sacrifice his son on a mountain; No... (www.catholic365.com)

What is Prayer?

I don't know if anyone else suffers from this problem, but I tend to forget things easily. I am also not a very organized person and can be scatter-brained so if I don't write things down, I easily forget. One spiritual thing I realized I forgot about recently was "The Jesus Prayer"....

I always find it humbling when the priest dips his thumb in the ashes, makes the cross on my forehead and says, “Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return.” That puts life into perspective in a way nothing else can.... (www.catholic365.com)

Wonderfully Made

Why compare yourself with others? Comparison leads to feelings of unrest, envy and dissatisfaction. I have been given certain gifts for a purpose. My beauty is not to be compared against anyone else's. I was given the right amount of physical beauty for my role in life.... (www.catholic365.com)

Sr. Margaret's Love Letters

She wasn't the equivalent (exactly) of Mommy Dearest, but writing Sister Margaret a love letter felt about as genuine as that scene from the movie. Penned from the point of view of the actress Joan Crawford's daughter, the movie portrayed an abusive mother who required her children to quip, "We love... (www.catholic365.com)

Be Catholic Despite Your Bad Parish

When I first converted to Catholicism, I was so excited. Well, perhaps I was a little nervous but I had been listening to my, then fiancé, talk about all the depth, history and beauty of the Catholic Church and I wanted to love it as much as he did. He talked about the rich tradition and the unsha... (www.catholic365.com)
