Mary is the Queen of Heaven

God Reveals: We Respond

The two most frequent questions I am greeted with when I share with people that I am Catholic are: “So you’re against Gay people right?”... "Well no," I reply, "I love all people, just hate the sin." The next is ”so I’m supposed to stay in a marriage where I am unhappy?" After a little more que... (www.catholic365.com)

Celibacy and the Single Mom

This is a really hard post for me to start, because I don't know where to begin. How can I write about celibacy? I mean I am...celibate...although, it is hard. Maybe that is exactly why God wants me to write this, as a reminder to myself why this is so important.... (www.catholic365.com)

Why the Devout Life is essential for every Catholic

“Frequently, on the pretext of some supposed impossibility, [ordinary Catholics] will not even think of undertaking a devout life.

Obedience is like a Diamond?

Obedience is like a Diamond in the rough. When diamonds are first pulled out of the ground they can be dirty with mud. They are also in rough shape and not ready to be placed into a ring or a chalice. However, after they are cleaned and cut diamonds are amazingly beautiful and ready to be set....

Stances of Grace

We are often reminded of the need to live each day for Christ—not just during Sunday Mass alone. The idea being that we too often compartmentalize ourselves; our church and spiritual lives on one side, and our secular lives on the other.
