The Lover's First Concern

A long time ago I met a man who was everything I wanted and more. He had the perfect job, background, faith, intellect and personality for me. But (drum roll please!)… He could not have cared less about me if he tried. For months I could not get away from this guy. I would see him everywhere, and h... (www.catholic365.com)

Wholesome 50 Shades of Grey

When I think of fifty shades of grey – I think of my kitchen floor. You know, that good, clean, honest dirt brought in by kids’ feet after they have been out playing in the snow, or I consider the dust by the wood stove from the ashes of the wood fire that keeps our house warm and cozy in the winte...

The Love of Christ

For this reason I fall on my knees before the Father, from whom every family in Heaven and on earth receives its true name.

How the Carmelites Rescued me from the New Age

I lost my marbles between the pages of my first new age book, a dizzying but feel good fiction novel. Naturally, with a few marbles short, I picked up another new age fiction, and this time the confusion blended with some fascination, so that I kept returning to the new age shelf in the bookstore, h...

Defending the Pope

There seems to be an increase in criticism on Catholicism, particularly on social media. Protestants have targeted our loyalty to the Pope, the Eucharist, petitioning Saints, Deuterocanonical books, Mary’s Virginity, etc. Atheists have been dynamic in criticism against Christian Faiths in general. F... (www.catholic365.com)

Bride of Christ? or Bridezilla?

Let me start by saying, I reject the term "Bridezilla." It isolates, insults, and altogether judges a woman who is preparing to receive the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony and preparing to give the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony to her future spouse. In no way, shape, or form does the term "Bridezilla" ref... (www.catholic365.com)

Fractured Grammar

Perhaps it is just my linguistics training, but I find myself increasingly annoyed by the fracturing of grammar rules that seems to be the newest trend in signage and advertising. At my gym a sign next to the wipes for cleaning the machines says “We like clean.” Not we like cleanliness, or we like ... (www.catholic365.com)

From the Hub to the Heart

When Ellen Gable, president of Full Quiver Press and the Catholic Writers Guild asked me to review Andy LaVallee’s new book, I was not sure what to expect. I was told it was a conversion story that involved Medjugorje, big business, a fast life and fasting – I was intrigued.From the Hub to the Hear... (www.catholic365.com)

What are the Stages of Faith Development?

I believe the four stages of Christian faith development, described by Rev. John H. Westerhoff in his book Will Our Children Have Faith, are quite enlightening and true. As we go through life, we may expand into (add-on) the needs and elements of the later stages, but only after the needs of the ear... (www.catholic365.com)

Catholics as Converts

This is the definition of the word convert. I am a convert to the Catholic faith, and I find that all true Catholics are converts. Now before you grab your catechism and your righteous indignation off of the shelf allow me explain why. We as humans are fallen. Since the Eve ate the forbidden fruit a... (www.catholic365.com)

10 Things Catholics Are Tired of Hearing

1.“Catholics worship statues.” This stereotype is painful to hear. Not only is this completely false, but it is ludicrous. Despite the fact that there are 801 millions Protestants world-wide, according to the Pew Research Center, my rant will be geared towards our brothers and sisters in the United...

Pass the Wine! Oh, Ain't None.

Sometimes, when the Gospel is read, or when I read the daily readings at home; something said or read jumps out and hits me. I think, wow, wouldn't that be a great approach for a reflection to share.... (www.catholic365.com)

I Was Terrified of Confession

I was asked recently, “why do you believe in confessing your sins to another man” ? Surprisingly enough, this was from a fellow Catholic. Now It is sooo easy to rattle off the usual apologetic answers of mine. Such as,(John 20:21-23): “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they a... (www.catholic365.com)

Give Yourself Up

David’s rock of truth hit Goliath really hard, so hard that it killed him. In a glaringly obvious way, God showed how much He treasures humility. A meek shepherd armed with a simple weapon delivered a message equally as simple but profound: “Pride goes before a disaster, and a haughty spirit before ... (www.catholic365.com)

What Will You "Give Up" This Lent?

Lent is a Catholic institution. Regardless of how religious we are, when Lent comes around, we make plans to “give something up.” As a little girl my cousins and I compared notes as to what we were giving up. Pizza, soda, and TV got lots of oooos and aaahs!... (www.catholic365.com)
