Mercy: A Painful Act of Faith
By Paul Reynolds
The word for mercy in Latin is misericordiae. According to Fr. Jacques Philippe in his book Real Mercy, this word comes from two words put together: misery and heart. He writes that mercy comes from the Heart of God looking down on us in our misery and brokenness.

Step Aside God; MY Will Be Done!
By Joseph Michael
Just over a year ago, in the immediate aftermath of the Brexit decision, I wrote an article for Catholic 365 which was unsurprisingly well received by conservatives and utterly scorned by liberals.

Charlie Gard and The Hidden Treasure
By James Berkon
“What was the scripture reading this past week?” I asked, still needing my morning coffee. “The treasure buried in the field.” My mother responded. “Oh yeah, now I remember.”

The Imago Dei
By Robert Curtis O.P.
The world has always been in disarray and when we search through history, we might find a day or two of relative peace, relative calm somewhere in those long years. But that’s all. Today is not that day and tomorrow won’t be any different, and it’s not pessimism that drives that statement but fallen human nature.

A Morning of Hope
By E.M. McCarthy
Pamela wanted to fly away from the window. If she were a bird, and not a girl, there would be no thoughts of sickness and death and only hope to fly into the dawn of a new day.

How can I prove the Divinity of Christ, to a Jehovah, from Scripture?
By De Maria
I recently saw this question asked on the Internet. This is how I would respond. In my debates with Jehova Witnesses JWs), Evangelicals and other Non-Catholics, I don't try to prove anything definitively from Scripture.

The Courage of Father Bernhard Lichtenburg; Priest and Martyr
By Larry Peterson
The Holocaust took the lives of millions of innocents. Amazingly, throughout all of those horrors there were always those who stood tall and spoke out against the existing tyranny. Their courage, staring into the face of death, is awe inspiring. One of them was Bernhard Lichtenberg. A victim of the Holocaust, his courage should be an example to us all.

Hell is Real
By E.M. McCarthy
Once I fell into an internet argument with a few atheist writers who felt it was funny to meme Christ and Mary with sacrilegious statements. I must confess that I lacked Christian charity when I told them they were going to hell. Granted, my comments were made tongue-in-cheek because the group made clear they didn’t believe in hell. They were upset by my mere mention of it.

Honoring our Dead: Catholic Funeral Rites and the Consolation Ministry
By Larry Peterson
The Catholic Church has a rich history of respecting and honoring all human life. From conception until death, the church considers each person as God's individual creation and therefore, sacred in His eyes. The funeral rites set in place by the church reflect the church's beliefs in these principles.

Our Wayward Home
By Greg Schlueter
Glenn Beck was talking about our nation’s demise. College riots. Racial tension. Extramarital sex. Addictions. Breakdown of marriage and family. And he offered reasons. Lack of economic opportunity. Politics. Education. While these are all contributing factors, they pale in comparison to the number one, epic factor in a child’s success or failure: Parenting.

Compassion?
By E.M. McCarthy
The issue of divorced and civilly remarried Catholics without an annulment being permitted to receive Holy Communion is in the news again. The following quote further explains why some want to liberalize through pastoral counseling the current Church laws.

The Extremes of Left and Right Imaged in the Alabaster Jar
By Scott Pauline
Today, unfortunately, we are now witnessing disturbing confrontations between extremes, left and right. Even before these times, we have seen it all too often. On the news, a group of “Baptist Christians” are holding hell-fire-and-damnation poster signs at the funeral of some soldier or other “sinner” who died.

IVF babies and their mommies
By Rose Cuervo
A lady doctor vented to me one day: I do not understand these kids. They are different. They have no sense of right or wrong. They are ruthless with each other and never listen to my husband and me.

Rule-of-Life for the Wives
By Rose Cuervo
I am thinking of wives who have managed to get a lot of things done in the day by having a rule of life, that is a regular schedule which makes them optimal in their work and happy in their downtime. I know a wife who said that when she wakes up early and prays for a good while, she ultimately gets more done and stays more at peace the whole day.

Grace trumps each time
By Rose Cuervo
There was a viral video going around where a teacher proclaims the virtue of hard work over intelligence and genius. There was of course more things above grit, which is overrated and potentially fraught with the pulling-oneself-up-by-one's-bootstraps self-reliance that would degenerate into pride and ultimately distancing from God and ingratitude of what He sends.

How to have a happy marriage (or Using Christ's like actions towards perpetual unions)
By Rose Cuervo
In the visit to the Holy Face Monastery in Clifton, NJ in the Feast of the Transfiguration I was able to meet somebody who still brings a picture of her long deceased spouse and touches it at the call for peace and lightly kisses it.
