The Catholic Church: The Enemy of Secular Virtue

The United States of America is the only nation in history to have used the Judeo-Christian Principle as the lynchpin for the nation's development and growth. So, what happened? How did this principle seemingly get tossed into the dumpster of the outdated and irrelevant?... (www.catholic365.com)

On Fruitfulness

Did you know that as individuals and a collective Body of Christ we are meant to be fruitful? I often wonder about that. Sometimes I feel caught up in mundane tasks that demand my attention and it feels like I’m not producing a fruitful lifestyle as defined by scripture.... (www.catholic365.com)

What Would Mary Gossip About?

Of course Mary would never gossip about anyone. She was filled with grace and love and she would have said kind things about the people she knew. But I so often fall into the trap of being with my girlfriends and updating them on our other friends and without realizing it, our stories cross the li... (www.catholic365.com)

Race with the Devil

I met Mr. Pearce at an OSMM Retreat and I enjoyed his talk on Tolkien and Catholicism so much that I decided to buy his book – Race with the Devil. Now I am more impressed with the author than ever. Race with the Devil is an outstandingly honest account of his years as a racist through his conversi... (www.catholic365.com)

Living on Our Prayers

Prayer warriors are called warriors for a reason. We understand that for, although we are in the flesh, we do not battle according to the flesh, for the weapons of our battle are not of flesh but are enormously powerful, capable of destroying fortresses.

What Do You Mean You Are a "Maronite" Catholic?

I was raised as a Latin Rite Catholic. I did not hear that there was such a thing as the “Eastern Rite” until I was about 20 years of age. I was attending Christian Brothers College (now Christian Brothers University) in Memphis, Tennessee, and I took a concentration of courses in Religion and Cultu... (www.catholic365.com)

Mother of Five, Sentenced to be Hanged, Pleads, "Please do not abandon Me."

Back on October 22, I wrote a blog about a wife and mother of five kids who lives in Pakistan and has been sentenced to death by hanging for the crime of "blasphemy". That's right; BLASPHEMY.

Being a Sturdy Shelter

I must chuckle when I look at celebrity pages on sites like Facebook and Twitter and see that they have millions of “friends” or “followers.” Then, I look at my page and those of my friends, and laugh even more. Some have 200, 300, 500+ friends. The first question I ask is – Who has that many friend... (www.catholic365.com)

Got A Hug For Me God

Recently I had a relapse into self-defeating negative thoughts about myself. When I was reflecting on Psalm 35 and 36, it reminded me how I allowed the evil one to whisper lies to me about myself. I became filled with negative thinking and acting.... (www.catholic365.com)

What Is The Nicene Creed?

At every Sunday Mass, right after the homily, the entire congregation stands and, reading from a missalette or pew card, recites in unison the words of the Nicene Creed, which begins, “I believe in one God…” The Creed is the declaration of faith for Christians.

November Cemetery Visits for the Souls In Purgatory

I'm not sure exactly when it was that I started to find cemeteries to be peaceful places. They are filled with so much hope! My feelings were only reinforced after reading Hungry Souls: Supernatural Visits, Messages, and Warnings from Purgatory by Gerard J.M. Van Den Aardweg. I finished reading it... (www.catholic365.com)

The Grace of Yes! A Modern Day Parable

The Grace of Yes! We are products of the Grace of Yes! If our parents hadn't said 'Yes' to us, or at least if our mom hadn't said 'Yes' to us, we wouldn't be here.
