Is There Evidence That God Exists?

Whether God exists is a fundamental question in life and one we often seek to answer personally and in conversations with those we love. Many people find objective evidence of God’s existence in what’s been called “The 3 Cs”: cosmos, consciousness, and conscience.... (www.catholic365.com)

During the Lenten Season: Is Forgiveness for Anyone Who Asks? Apparently Not.

Lent is here. I sit in front of this keyboard with the current memory of ashes smeared across my forehead. The season of Repentance and Forgiveness followed by Redemption is once again upon us. The ashes remind us of our mortality. We all know in our hearts that we will surely die one day.... (www.catholic365.com)

Ephesians Chapter One, Part Three Remember the scene in The Hobbit in which we see the vast pile of treasure guarded by Smaug, the dragon?

My Life as a Catholic School Girl: A Reflection

One of my best memories of my life was sitting in the front seat of my mother’s old minivan, talking with her about life and the world around me. We could talk about anything and everything, from that day's Gospel reading to the Baltimore Orioles’ latest home game.... (www.catholic365.com)

Fish Stick Fridays and any Days!

When I was a kid, Lent was one of my favorite seasons in the Church. Of course, at that time, you had to abstain from meat during the entire season of Lent. It took some creative cooking for that to happen. I remember eating a lot of beans and cheese sandwiches for supper. I attended Catholic sc... (www.catholic365.com)

My mom has a cousin, an only child, named A.J. As he was growing up, his doting father, in the midst of his weekend errands, would occasionally buy A.J. a gift. Not for any specific reason or holiday, but “just because” – a concrete expression of parental love.... (www.catholic365.com)

The Power of the Spoken Word

After writing a post for “Random Acts of Kindness” week I could not stop thinking about the power that words have. What came to mind was Gen1: 1-2; In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was a formless void, there was darkness over the deep, and God’s spirit hovered o...

Why Should We Pray?

Throughout the Bible, believers are commanded to pray. Many years ago, when our kids were little, one of my daughters asked, “Why should we pray?” Caught off guard, I employed a variation of my favorite answer to my children (which is, “Cuz I said so, that’s why!”) by replying, “Cuz Jesus said so...

Shepherd Me O God

The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want. Psalm 23 is one of the most quoted psalms, and for many very good reasons. So often these familiar words remind us of God’s love for us, love which never wavers or falters. Even when we are surrounded by everyday doubts and fears, we know ... (www.catholic365.com)

Mr. President, You Know, the Crusades have been over for 566 Years

In 2012, during a Presidential Debate, President Obama infamously called Mr. Romney out on suggesting Russia as the "biggest geopolitical threat facing America" - his famous undercutting words were, "because, you know, the Cold War's been over for 20 years." The President suggested that it was wrong... (www.catholic365.com)

Nail It to the Cross

I was facing a crisis. Two opposing circumstances were causing me to lose sleep. I could potentially see myself fixing one situation, but not the other. The most likely scenario was that both would blow up in face. I paced in bedroom, trying to figure what I could do. Then, I remembered a homily my... (www.catholic365.com)

The Family Dinner

Is there any image of the family more iconic than the family at the dinner table? Here is where the family gathers as a group, as a unit, as a whole. Yes, the people there are imperfect, with varying degrees of brokenness, and all with far less than perfect love for each other.... (www.catholic365.com)

Breathing With Both Lungs: The Roman Catholic Church, The Byzantine Catholic Church

While I have always had an awareness of the Byzantine Catholic Church I had never really moved from mere musings to an actual action plan. Pope Saint John Paul II said it best when he stated, “The Church needs to learn to breathe again with its two lungs – its Eastern one and its Western one.... (www.catholic365.com)

My Child... The Saint?

It's amazing the connection children have with Our Lord. What if we all listened and took it seriously? When my child, Christopher was four, our normal bedtime routine took an hour (at least). Bath, Bible story, singing songs (some that we made up), telling stories (that I made up), and whatever el... (www.catholic365.com)

Love, Sex & Passion

It is strangely perplexing and terrible to know that as I sit here in my neat, clean, warm bedroom looking out large glass doors upon a white world of snowy covered hills and trees with sparrows and red birds flying about and singing, that somewhere in another part of the world whole communities hav...
