Bold and Confident

    If you do nothing today, I'd like to encourage you to at least pray with Bishop Robert Barron the Sorrowful Mysteries of the Rosary. His beautiful offering in this video lays out for us exactly what Jesus went through for each of us.  Whatever faith you follow, this will surely give you pause. There is such a freedom in following Jesus--yes, right to the cross--as we learn what it means to give up our life for someone else.  We learn how to love deeply and offer ourselves, as we share in his suffering. I'm going to guess that for many of you, there is someone in your f ..read more

Why is it so difficult being a Christian?

  Why is it so difficult being a Christian? It's easy to wave hands in the air and sing songs when all is well and we are happy; but what about other times? The normal times in life. Do others look at us and say, "I see here a Christian?" Do we look and behave Christian? Read more and put yourself in these situations - CLICK HERE ..read more

What is your aim in life?
Association Of Catholic Bloggers
by
18h ago
      I came across this line in a little reflection I was reading: "Most lives aim at nothing in particular and achieve it." I paused, thinking that's a pretty depressing thought, and then asking, "Is that true?" The actual point of the reflection was to note that the goal of Jesus was "to save humanity from its sin . . . to seek and save the lost."  Jesus, you see, had a goal. But back to us.  If it's true that we wander aimlessly about, and are satisfied in doing so, perhaps we need to rethink our behavior.  Christians shouldn't lack a goal, because disciples ..read more

Stubborn Child? Join the Club!

  Do you struggle with a particular child?  Maybe this child is quite challenging, stubborn and just not easy to raise? Well, you are not alone! I was listening to a Discerning Hearts PODCAST recently with Fr. Timothy Gallagher and he was talking about one of St. Thérese of Lisieux's sisters, Léonie.  Fr. Gallagher was reading some letters that Thérese's mother wrote in which she expressed the difficulties she had with Léonie.  It seems that moms in the 1800s experienced similar problems that moms do today. This brutally honest account of what it was like for this saintly ..read more

There's a winter weather advisory in effect until 2:00 p.m. — but most of the snow has already fallen and/or gotten blown around. I gather that three to five inches came down here. That's three to five inches more than we had before. This has been an unusually warm and dry winter, so this snow is welcome. I hope it changes our status from "moderate drought" to merely "abnormally dry". I haven't heard anything about my brother-in-law (February 7, 2024) — so I'll assume that no news is good news, and that he can walk again. Number-two daughter started radiation therapy March 11, so this is her ..read more

A Circle of Glory
Association Of Catholic Bloggers

  There's a lot of glorifying going on in today's gospel (John 13)! Jesus says to his disciples: "Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in him. If God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him at once." Whaaat? A careful reading of this passage brings to the surface the oneness of God and Jesus.  The Trinity is made up of God the Father, Jesus his son, and the Holy Spirit. There are three persons in the Holy Trinity, but only Jesus among them is 100% divine and 100% human.  He was innocent, but went to the cross and took ..read more

The House was Full of the Scent of the Ointment

  The House was Full of the Scent of the Ointment "...Mary brought in a pound of very costly ointment, pure nard, and with it anointed the feet of Jesus, wiping them with her hair; the house was full of the scent of the ointment..." These words from the Gospel today made me think. Mary's gesture was most extravagant in that the ointment was so precious. She used so much of it that the whole house was drenched in the sweet perfume. Judas would question the reasonableness of spending all that  money.  I am struck by her generosity and her love. Of course her generosity is born ..read more
