Lighthouses In The Storm

No one will argue that the state of the world appears to be unraveling. There are many things happening today that even the most seasoned news aficionados shake their heads in disbelief over. As one of them cautions, James Wilson: "When the news is freakier than a Hollywood horror flick, you've got ... (www.catholic365.com)

It's Possible To Love People Without Liking Them

There are many awesome teachings in Christian theology; true forgiveness of sins and eternal life in Heaven, just to name a couple. But the one teaching that’s had the biggest impact on my life is this: it is possible to love someone without necessarily liking him. I remember years ago when I first... (www.catholic365.com)

What Does Our Divine Lover Have to Do to Allow His Embrace?

Even Jesus’ friends do not seem to understand his desire for each of us to come to him, to commune with him and to allow for a full embrace when receiving the totality of who he is in Holy Communion.... (www.catholic365.com)

Our Whispered Hello to God

I am not just reciting theology when I remind you that there is neither time nor distance when we live and move and breathe in the Spirit. When someone dies or moves far away, I don’t have to say good-bye just whisper hello, a different kind of hello that moves with the speed of light to brighten e... (www.catholic365.com)

Hope in a Tragic World

What stirs the imagination often directs the soul. When you look at the fiction available to young people today – to all people really – it doesn’t take a great leap of logic to wonder if there is a correlation between what grief people read and what grief people inflict.... (www.catholic365.com)

John and Fiona were very distraught parents. They stayed behind in church after Mass and asked to see Father Ignatius. He suggested they wait until everyone had gone, and eventually he came back in the church from the car park, having seen the last of the parishioners leave.... (www.catholic365.com)

The Best Thing You Can Do For Your Family and the Village People

It doesn’t take superpowers to notice that all hell is breaking loose in our villages. Drug addiction, crime, racism, child abuse, divorces, sexual perversions, debt, abortion, and euthanasia have invaded our white picket fenced suburbs.... (www.catholic365.com)

Time Traveling Pilgrims

Have you ever felt during the Mass, with a deep sense of knowing, the intimate presence of your loved ones that have passed on? This always proceeds from our communion with Christ. There are times for many Catholics when they tangibly seem to feel the loving embrace of our Lord Jesus Christ after ... (www.catholic365.com)

The "Cutest Little Percolator" I Received at My Bridal Shower

I love being a wife. The following story is from a post I wrote for my blog. If you enjoy a good cup of coffee, I think you’ll really enjoy this sweet, funny story. I think you’ll enjoy it even if you don’t drink coffee!... (www.catholic365.com)

So a few things about this poem I need mentioning. It has the purpose of not rhyming, as it is more of a meditation prayer than a rhyming poem. I usually try not to rhyme my poems and with this one, it called for atypical penmanship.... (www.catholic365.com)

Road to Reconciliation

I am proud to say I’m a convert to Catholicism, baptized in 2006. My RCIA journey was amazing, and each class drew me closer to a God I had never known. When giving testimony at pro-life events, I always share my baptismal experience. I was told the waters of baptism would wash away past sins, b... (www.catholic365.com)

The Arrow and The Call

One of the first questions asked of a child is what he/she would like to be when they grow up. Indeed, much of our time as parents and grandparents is spent trying to decide what skills our young ones have that they can share with the world.... (www.catholic365.com)

It is GOD Who Converts

My words alone will not convince an atheist. Yes, Catholics need theology and apologetics, but these disciplines will not convert anybody, because Christianity is not primarily a moral theology or a philosophy, but a relationship of love. By focusing upon the reality of our Christian experiences ... (www.catholic365.com)

"Big Brother" is Watching Everyone. What happened to God?

Surveillance is a lovely word. Derived from the French word, surveill, it flows harmlessly off the tongue. But what it means when it lands is anything but lovely. It means continuous observation of a place, person, group, or ongoing activity in order to gather information.... (www.catholic365.com)

There is a new trend in our Church. For generations, there was a very typical family pattern—young married couples would move into the area, register in the parish, baptize their infants and get their kids enrolled in CCD throughout their school years (the parents would volunteer to teach CCD and we...

So You're a "Person of Faith" and "PRO-Choice"? Really? Which Faith?

With the forty-first Anniversary of the “Roe vs. Wade” decision almost upon us, I am hoping someone might provide an answer to and clear up a question I’ve had for many years now. I often hear many of those who claim to be “people of Faith”, including some people that I deeply care for, say that the... (www.catholic365.com)
