Strengthening My Relationship with God

Back in July, 2014, I signed up for the Divine Mercy Daily – Daily Reflection from Diary of Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska by email, and this excerpt had special meaning for me that I would like to share it with you. "Day 9: Deeper Knowledge Of My Own Wretchedness.... (www.catholic365.com)

The Family Rosary

These are not easy times to be raising children. The moral decline of our culture, the rise of relativism, hostility toward Christianity, in short, the world, the flesh, and the devil are all working against what we want for our children. What are parents to do? We must pray and pray hard.And who be... (www.catholic365.com)

Are You A Facebook Friend?

I admit that I was late joining the Facebook craze. I really didn’t see the point of hanging out online posting what I ate for breakfast, or the latest news from family, work and parish. The people I knew who did that seemed to be addicted, checking their pages all day long, commenting on everything... (www.catholic365.com)

Thirst for Reverence

From the beginning of our marriage, finding a church that seemed right was a struggle. We visited church after church and spent significant time in prayer on the issue. This was not what we had planned. I had always expected to quickly settle down in the “perfect church” home, but we just could not ... (www.catholic365.com)

Mysterious Tools

An experience from a few months ago gave me a deeper appreciation and understanding of prayer. It was late at night, and my eight-year-old son was very sick in bed. He lay there moaning and crying because of terrible pain in his ears. While my wife was on the phone trying to reach a doctor, I tried ... (www.catholic365.com)

Respectable or Faithful?

Just look at many of the biblical characters whom we raise up as examples of faithfulness today. In their own time, these paragons, who obeyed God in their personal lives, were considered quacks and for good reason.... (www.catholic365.com)

Salem Matti Kourk: Hated and Murdered by ISIS; Loved by God and His Mom

I guess there is nothing like the shocking beheading of a live, innocent, helpless person by gutless, yellow-bellied devil lovers dressed in black pajamas to garner world attention. The high-profile, barbaric murders of James Foley and Steven Sotloff have done just that. Their murders have been ... (www.catholic365.com)

Rosaries are holy items that helped me learn to pray and to better understand the Catholic Faith. I feel embarrassed because I never prayed the rosary before now. While I worked at the Carmel Mission Basilica, one afternoon, my supervisor and I walked around the grounds and then stopped at the Gift ... (www.catholic365.com)

The Gospel reading for September 4 was from Luke 5:1-11. This is the account of Peter, James, and John, who have fished all night and caught nothing. Then Jesus enters the scene, and instructs them to try once more. The weary fishermen, knowing that fish are harder to catch during the day, protes... (www.catholic365.com)

Thoughts on rape and abortion...

I've recently had a discussion with a friend of mine who has declared herself a "feminist". Quite a few interesting things came out of that discussion, including how a few of her views had changed in the last few years that we've been friends.... (www.catholic365.com)

Friends and Their Gifts are Gifts from God

God often sends friends bearing gifts to help us along our journey. I would like to share a few examples of how friends and their gifts of a sand dollar, a teapot, a journal, an angel statue, and a story and rabbit figurine have helped me.... (www.catholic365.com)

St. Paul Calls Out to us From Across the Ages

The second reading at Sunday's Mass (the 22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time: 8/31/2104) was from St. Paul to the Romans: 12:1-2. The words reverberated in my head and I think it was not only because of their simplicity and timeliness but primarily because of the message.... (www.catholic365.com)

I was asked about the Catholic teaching of Purgatory recently by a friend who could not see its basis in the Bible. Here is my answer to them, which I decided to share: Purgatory is the modern way the Church expresses the ancient Biblical concept of “the place of the dead”, Sheol in the Old Testame...

Have you ever noticed that God's path for our journey is not the one we would have chosen for ourselves? I'm not just talking about the "big" things, either (jobs, locations, church affiliations, etc.). I'm talking about the journey: the day-to-day places of our lives. Still confused? Let me illustr...

Faith and Family Traditions

I just wanted to share something that touched my heart last night during Mass. I was a lector and a Eucharistic minister so I was up by the altar and able to see everyone all the way to the back of the cathedral. What caught my eye, was my son holding his 14 month old daughter, and my daughter holdi... (www.catholic365.com)

My purpose in this article is to help Catholics defend "Praying to the Saints" to those whom challenge them. How do people know you're Catholic? (thought of the day) It is just simply amazing me as to the questions I receive when I meet ordinary people in ordinary circumstances.... (www.catholic365.com)

Some Food for Thought on Gay Marriage

We’re all familiar with the frantic push for homosexual marriage and/or civil unions. As people of faith striving to live peacefully within a society in growing crisis, we’re probably much more acquainted than we’d like to be with this ideology washing over us from all sides of our popular culture....

Defending Mary: Part One

"The Bible says you shouldn't talk to the dead." That's the first comment I receive when I share with people that I am a Catholic. When further questioned why they would choose that as their first comment to me, they respond that "well, you pray to Mary and the Saints." The honor that we give to Mar... (www.catholic365.com)

Defending Mary: Part Two

Continuing with the defense of Mary, many claim that the Bible strongly condemns communication with the dead. It does not matter if those who died were good or bad, saintly or evil, there is to be no communication between the living and the dead. The only communication with spirit beings that origin...
