This Easter, We'll Dance for Joy

On Palm Sunday, a local church about 30 minutes away from me had outdoor rooftop confessions during coronavirus, so I went, eager to be reconciled to God before Easter. How grateful I was for this sacrament made available outdoors! During confession, the priest said something intriguing: “Remembe... (www.catholic365.com)

"Resurrection" / Understood or Misinformed

One thing I’ve discovered about peoples’ knowledge of Church Doctrine is there are too many know-it-alls with the wrong understanding of Dogmas.

Christ Is Risen! Do Not Doubt It

This week we celebrate Easter Sunday. Except, we are celebrating at home, watching Mass on TV, and practicing “social distancing.” So, for the first time in, oh, about 2,000 years, most of Christendom is unable to gather with fellow believers to celebrate the Resurrection.... (www.catholic365.com)

Sacrifices of Lent....Courtesy of the Coronavirus

wrote a blog a few weeks ago about taking a time-out with God, courtesy of the coronavirus. As a Catholic speaker I often give a keynote address about how I was forced to take a time-out with God because of a freak leg injury and then cancer.

"Rejection of The Christ"

As we approach the Passion of Christ our thoughts will be on the Agony in the Garden, the Scourging at the Pillar, Crowning with thorns, the carrying of his cross and being nailed to it.

Jesus Carries the Cross

The Long Road to Calvary John cried out, a lone voice in the desert: "Prepare the way of the Lord; make straight His paths." (Matt 3:3) He cried out! He didn't speak, as if it was a passing thought like: "Oh by the way, did you know the Lord is coming?"... (www.catholic365.com)
