Though a great sinner, God has blessed me with a wonderful wife and 8 lovely children, 2 of which have gone to Heaven before leaving the womb.

 

I love the Rosary and started sharing little Catholic reflections with others. My little Catholic reflections have helped deepen my faith and I hope they can help others as well.  Though not always fully inspired by the Holy Spirit, I enjoy when He takes over and seeing what direction He takes the reflection.

 

Please say a prayer for me and I will continue to pray for all who read my little reflections, especially for the inspiration to read them as the Holy Spirit intends.  St. Maximilian Kolbe, pray for the success of my little reflections and for all of Catholic365.com.

You have great power!  But do you use it?
How do you know that you have great power? Well, are you baptized? If you are baptized, you an adopted son or daughter of God! This not only sounds good, but it is a great reality that we hardly live out. If only we had a prayer that spoke to that reality and helped us to live it out. And we do!

COVID causing dire need?
When he had freely spent everything, a severe famine struck that country, and he found himself in dire need. Indeed, we are in dire need. That Scripture comes from the Parable of the Prodigal Son [Luke 15:14]. Whether you believe the pandemic is valid or not, we are in dire need to get through this. And when there appears to be no way out, we can turn to God and know that He can get us th

Solemnity of the Annunciation.
Solemnity of the Annunciation.
The Annunciation is the announcement from the angel Gabriel to Mary about her conceiving the Son of God within her Womb. It also encapsulates her yes to God’s plan, sometimes called her fiat. But the solemn feast also includes the mystery of the Incarnation, God becoming human. God’s plan to save us from sin has begun.

St Joseph, a great man that teaches us much.
St Joseph, a great man that teaches us much.
How can a man with so little mentioned of him actually teach us anything? First, we must remember that little is mentioned of him because only that which is necessary for us in the Bible is written in there. It was not the story of Joseph saving us, but Jesus.

How many moments have I wasted?
How many moments have I wasted?
Every moment that we have is a gift. Too commonly, we take these moments for granted. We receive them all of the time. And then, we get angry when they are no longer given, though we think of them as being snatched from us. Each moment of your life is a gift.

Can bad ever be a good thing?
Can bad ever be a good thing?
Even good people like to be bad sometimes. Like getting back at that person that cut you off in traffic. Or being called a ‘bad’ man out of respect that you are not to be messed with. But does anything, and I mean ANYTHING, justify us doing bad?

Living up to your calling to be a SAINT!
Living up to your calling to be a SAINT!
Wow, that sounds like a lot. Me, a Saint? But everyone (yes, EVERYONE!) is called to be a saint. God created us to love us and for us to love Him in return. Saints are simply the ones who love Him in return. Yes, you can do it, even I can do it. You do not need to build a cathedral, start a religious community, or live like a monk. Some are called to such a life, but most are not.

We celebrate the Feast of the Espousal of Joseph and Mary.
Joseph and Mary have an anniversary, too! And we celebrate it January 24th . We may think of an espousal or betrothal as an engagement, but it was more than that in the time of Joseph and Mary. Back then, it was the beginning of a marriage.

Do you trust Jesus as much as you trust yourself?
Do you trust Jesus as much as you trust yourself?
We may say that we trust Jesus more than ourselves, but whenever we sin, especially in the littlest of ways, we are showing that we do not trust Jesus. Why ‘especially in the littlest of ways’? Well, those should be when it is easiest to trust someone else. After all, if it is just a small matter, why should we care which is the best course of action?
