In a continuation of my post, Isms, Addictions and Culture, I am reflecting on the dangers facing our culture today. Last time I considered the concept of Humanism. Today I am considering the dangers of Secularism...... (www.catholic365.com)

Planned-Parenthood-Supporting Catholic Politicians: "A Pathetic Spectacle"

Prior to the recent primary election I received a heartfelt letter from a member of the Diocese who had just discovered that the candidate for whom she had intended to vote was “pro-choice and for same-sex marriage.” She wrote: “Dear Bishop Tobin, for whom do I vote? Do I vote at all?... (www.catholic365.com)

I trudged up the steps to the Church, secretly hoping the priest would not be at the confessional. When I poked my head inside the door, the light was on over the ajar door to the Reconciliation Room. I stood patiently beside the humble, downcast praying man at the fount. Eventually he entered th... (www.catholic365.com)

For Those in Despair. Dear God, there are those souls, who by want of sins past, come to despair and dare desire to take their life. The devil comes to plant seeds of destruction. But human souls, even at the last moment of life, even after a life of flesh, can hope of redemption by asking God, in... (www.catholic365.com)

Pro-Life IS Pro-Women

Perhaps I have finally discovered a label to describe myself – a pro-life feminist. At first glance theses two terms seem to oppose each other but true feminism is not the antithesis of motherhood or a pro-life stance. Contrary to standard stereotypes, one is pro-woman precisely when one is pro-lif... (www.catholic365.com)

Thinking of our little soul - living in eternity.

When I first saw this sketch, I thought of our daughter, Hannah who passed away 8 minutes after birth. Experiencing all the first in an angelic atmosphere with no limits of space or time. No experience of hurt or pain. No experience of failures or disappointments.... (www.catholic365.com)

Our God- Without Selfies

Imagine our God doing selfie shots, there would be violent reactions I bet! Why would God do such act? I, myself had posted selfie shots too. Who doesn’t? Our generation today saves all the good picturesque shots taken by “smart” phones or the digital single-lens-reflex (DSLR) in the highest image l... (www.catholic365.com)

Dear God letters

Breath prayer. Dear God, all powerful, all glory and honor is Yours. Thank You for Your breath in our life. Send Your holy angels to guide us in Church, to learn stillness of body, and quietness of mind. May we encounter You better at each and every Mass.... (www.catholic365.com)

Cardinal Dolan's Parade Compromise

I have been mulling for nearly two months over Register columnist Pat Archibold’s blog (“Cardinal Dolan and the shameful NYC St. Patrick’s Gay Parade”, Sep 3, 2014). Archibold is right. This is indeed “shameful.” Catholics need clarity on marriage and family from its leadership, not more confusio... (www.catholic365.com)

Is Technology Making Us Rude?

One of my favorite authors is C.S. Lewis, the creator of the wonderful Narnian Chronicles and so much more. He is said to have received thousands of letters from fans throughout his lifetime, but the more remarkable thing is that he endeavored to personally reply to each one. I keep thinking about t...

Is the Church Always Asking For Money?

Did you ever hear the story about the farmer who lived alone in the countryside with his dog? After many years, the dog finally died, so the farmer went to the parish priest and said, “Father, my dear old dog is dead. Could you say a funeral a Mass for him?”... (www.catholic365.com)

Tolkien, Resurrection, and the Way Things Really Work

On more than one occasion, author J.R.R. Tolkien referred to the Resurrection as the ultimate eucatastrophe (i.e. "happy turn") of human history. In fact, On Fairy-Stories makes it clear that the Resurrection was at the heart of his creative vision. In a 1944 letter to his son Christopher, he discus... (www.catholic365.com)

A Short History of All Souls Day

As you are all probably aware, we will soon be commemorating All Soul’s Day, the companion celebration to the upcoming Feast of All Saints. Celebrating the legacy of all saints, known and unknown, who have gone before us makes sense, but how did it come to be companioned with All Soul’s Day and how ... (www.catholic365.com)

All Saint's Day: Never Forget that Our Christian Roots are Embedded in Judaism

My father has been dead for many years but he is still teaching me how to be Catholic. He is doing this by living in my mind via memories of his personal Christianity in action. The Feast of All Saint's Day flips a switch that turns on one of these memories. That is also when I began to embrace th... (www.catholic365.com)

All Souls Day, Losing A Child

My son came home from school the other day in a bad mood. He was picking on his sisters, reluctant to begin his homework, and grumpy about any after school snack I offered. I’ve learned to give him some time before trying to figure out the reason behind his irritability. That night, when I tucked hi... (www.catholic365.com)

The Passion of the Church: An Introduction

There is a tendency for the human spirit to turn a blind eye to troubles looming; for example, one day I noticed that my old car was making a strange noise under the hood. Instead of dealing with it, I turned the radio up louder.... (www.catholic365.com)

Halloween and the Legend of the Jack-O-Lantern (one version)

Long ago in Ireland, the land of shamrocks, leprechauns, soft winds and smiles, there lived a man named Jack. Jack was quite lazy and did not like to work. But he had the gift of "blarney" and could talk the peat off the moss. He would tell wondrous tales about his adventures as a world traveler and... (www.catholic365.com)

What Does Eucharistic Adoration Mean To Me?

In our daily grind, full of busyness and distractions one thing should get our attention, but probably doesn’t, is our relationship with God. If you are like me, there is always too much going on, too many fires to put out, and not enough hours in the day.... (www.catholic365.com)

Halloween Has Religious Origins

This week we celebrate Halloween. Like most holidays on the calendar, Halloween has religious origins. In fact, the word holiday itself is a contraction of the two words “holy” and “day.” In ancient times—for example, back when people had only dial-up Internet service—all the special days during th...
