We Must Preach With Words
We Must Preach With Words
By Eric Wojtkun
A common phase we hear today is the St Francis saying of "Preach the gospel at all times, if necessary use words." In our overly politically correct culture, we get bombarded with messages saying words of evangelization offend people and turn them off to the faith.

New Year's Resolutions
New Year's Resolutions
By Michelle Watkins
It’s that time of year again when many will make New Year’s resolution. The goals are usually notable: exercise more, spend less, eat healthy, etc. These are valid and noteworthy goals. Yet, we should remind ourselves that this is our temporary ‘home’ and our primary goal in life should be to reach heaven in the afterlife. Therefore, we shouldn’t forget resolutions for our walk in faith.

Scripture says, "All generations shall call me blessed!"
Scripture says, "All generations shall call me blessed!"
By De Maria
So, why don’t Protestants love Mary? Mary is the Mother of God and our Mother! Mary is the Mother of God, the Mother of Jesus, who is God. And Jesus gave her to us to be our mother. So, guess what, we treat her as our mother. We love her as our own mother. We do this in obedience to Christ and to the Word of God in Scripture.

What Did Mary Know?
What Did Mary Know?
By Karl Erickson
I have a confession to make this sparkling Advent Season: I have a soft spot for the popular Christmas song entitled Mary, Did You Know. There, it’s good to get that off my chest. Invariably this time of year, well-intentioned Catholics begin to attack this song as being anti-Catholic.

By Sr. Christina M. Neumann
Pictured here is a 66 year-old nativity scene, or crèche, which Sr. Elaine Marie, bookkeeper at St. Anne’s received for a Christmas gift at nine years of age.

On Nativities
By Gabriel Garcia Costacurta
It is finally that time of the year. Christmas is here, and with it, we can see all the houses lit up with Christmas lights; Santa Clauses all over the city posed for pictures with kids; all the TV channels are airing Christmas movies; most of the articles you read here in Catholic365 are about it too.

Communicate with God

A few mornings ago I was talking with God and I said, "I need to tell you how I feel. I need to empty myself of all that I feel right now. I want You to know every ounce of feeling that I have in me right now." That felt really good!

Managing Disappointment
Managing Disappointment
By Sandy Lowery
I got some pretty upsetting news last week. I won't be able to have my legal (but non-canonical) marriage blessed as soon as we had hoped. When my mother died, my teenaged brother went to live with our father, and he wasn't thriving. He then came to live with us, and there were a couple of bumps in the road in the past that came out during the Marriage Prep process.

Remember Christmas Well
Remember Christmas Well
By Dean P. Johnson
When the last gift has been unwrapped with ribbons, bows and shredded paper strewn across the living room floor and the kids have identified their favorite new toy, I’ve taken to the habit of stopping them in mid play and making a statement: “We have been blessed with a wonderful Christmas. Remember this Christmas well, because not all Christmases may be this nice.”

Two Teenagers, A Child and Christmas--a Perfect Mix
By Larry Peterson
If it were two thousand years ago and you lived in Nazareth you might notice a young man packing items on a donkey in preparation for a trip.

A Father's Calling
A Father's Calling
By Eric Wojtkun
What is the role of father? In the image above you can see some of the roles he ordained for us. We see Joseph, the earthly father of Christ standing watch over Christ. The cloak is on showing us he is ready to move in any direction God ordains. His staff in hand serves as an extra support with the ground, keeping him in touch with the reality of natural law.
