Are you a Good Samaritan?

“What must I do to inherit eternal life?” That was the question posed to Jesus by the lawyer in Luke 10:25. Wow what a question. Isn’t that a question we have all asked at one time or another? So what is the long awaited answer? In true Jesus' fashion, He answers with a question: What does scrip... (www.catholic365.com)

At 12:30 p.m. on August 31, 1939, Adolf Hitler made a decision. He issued the order that was to plunge the entire world into its bloodiest war ever: This is the order that started World War II... (www.catholic365.com)

Some thoughts for my Christian friends: A common war cry among liberal 'christians' over the past few years has been: WWJD (What would Jesus do?). It's attempt to make people forget Christ's teachings by focusing on His loving nature, to make the secular notion of 'anything goes' seem OK. Sin... (www.catholic365.com)

Third Times a Charm

Do you have children? If so, I'm sure you have been asked the same questions multiple times. Maybe somewhat annoying isn't it? Do you sometimes feel, if you give a different answer, the questioning will stop? That might be what Peter was thinking when Jesus asked Peter three times,“Do you love me?”... (www.catholic365.com)

Moving Backward or Moving Forward Towards God.

The first article I wrote was about Staying Positive While Seeking God's Plan In My Life. August 20, 2014 was the beginning of a new chapter in my life of focusing on my Catholic Faith. Growing up Catholic, there was a point in time that I was moving backward, away from God, because I didn't feel ... (www.catholic365.com)

Why Confess to a Priest?

While discussing the Sacrament of Penance, I will use a few different terms. Reconciliation, the penitent will reconcile with the Church and God, this reconciliation cannot be separated. “To reconcile means to bring two entities together, so that they are in agreement.” Penance, the penance performe...

The Seventy-Two Disciples

As we read in Luke:10, Jesus sent out seventy-two disciples to go where He was to go. He told them that He sends them like lambs among wolves. He continues, if you enter a house, say peace to this house, if someone there promotes it, there it will reside, if not, the peace will return to you. Jesus... (www.catholic365.com)

Are You on the Right Road?

There's an exit on one of our local interstates that I call the "Jesus Exit," because there sits a church with a billboard-sized sign of the famous Warner Sallman painting, "The Head of Christ," which depicts our Lord looking up toward His Father in Heaven. Underneath it reads, "ARE YOU ON THE RIGHT... (www.catholic365.com)

From Missouri Slave to Catholic priest to "Servant of God": A Shining Example for ALL of Us

This is not about the Ferguson, Missouri of 2014 but it is about the Missouri of the 19th century. This is about a black man that I wish not only the people of Ferguson would learn about, but also the rest of Missouri and all of America. This is about a man whose goodness shined like a brilliant st... (www.catholic365.com)

Divine Mercy and the Sacrament of Penance

“Tell souls where they are to look for solace; that is, in the Tribunal of Mercy. There the greatest miracles take place [and] are incessantly repeated. To avail oneself of this miracle, it is not necessary to go on a great pilgrimage or to carry out some external ceremony; it suffices to come with ... (www.catholic365.com)

They Thirst: End of Life Care for our Beloved Elderly

As the faithful continue their bold battle for unborn children, the fight for the protection of the elderly, nearing the natural end of life, is heard as a vapid whisper. Their fight takes place on a more intimate battleground. Loved ones are left struggling with difficult decisions, often with very... (www.catholic365.com)

Reflections Upon Laughter

It's a funny thing, but most people who know me in an official capacity (that is, the state government office), think of me as a very serious and focused individual. This makes sense, of course, because work is our professional side.... (www.catholic365.com)

Thank God For Tradition

When I became a Catholic at 19, I was overjoyed to discover a wealth of wisdom and teaching on prayer, spirituality and the faith. It was like unlocking a door to a vast library of information that had been kept hidden from me . This was information that I could count on, that I could trust as auth... (www.catholic365.com)

Faith of Our Fathers

Since I'm new to Catholic365, I thought it would be appropriate to introduce myself. The story of our family's faith journey is not the typical "cradle Catholic" story. I was raised in a Pentecostal denomination. Upon graduation from high school, I attended Bible college. During my school years,... (www.catholic365.com)

Small Town Welcome for Adopted Baby Girl

I've always loved the stories about my adoption. When I was a little girl, my dad would tell me how they got the call sooner than they expected, and how they had to stop and buy diapers, bottles and clothes on the way to get me from the hospital. My mom, dad, big brother and my grandmother all drove... (www.catholic365.com)

Music and the Sacred Liturgy of the Church

One of the most beautiful things about the traditional Mass, and what is of principle interest to many people when they first attend, is the wondrous chant that is sung during a high Mass. There is something mystical about Gregorian chant that adds a significant amount of reverence and mystery into ... (www.catholic365.com)

Seeing God Through People…

The morning started by going to a Food Bank and sorting and organizing cans on the shelves, as organizing and cleaning is a strength that I have and I acknowledge. In the afternoon, I went to my parish and helped the Sisters who are involved with the Religious Education Classes (First and Second Yea... (www.catholic365.com)

Caring for Creation

Few things can get you ridiculed faster in Oregon than expressing a lack of enthusiasm for recycling. It might be less problematic to announce a fondness for whale hunts on the weekend. In the Pacific Northwest, where rates of church attendance are some of the lowest in the country, Oregonians seem ... (www.catholic365.com)
