I am an adopted son of God through baptism, though still a great sinner. God has blessed me with a wonderful wife and 11 lovely children, 3 of which have gone to Heaven before their birth.
I love the Rosary and started sharing little Catholic reflections with others. My little 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 them to be read as the Holy Spirit intends. St. Maximilian Kolbe, pray for the success of my little reflections and for all of Catholic365 and its readers.

Are you doing good things, but avoiding prayer?
If a man with good parents living next door never saw his parents for a whole year, he would be considered a bad son no matter how much good he did for others. And so we are if we ignore Our Father. When we ignore prayer, we are ignoring Our Father. Prayer is the way we maintain our connection with Our Father, spending time with Him.

Happy Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross!
We are fallen. And yet, we hold up the many times that people sacrifice for others. The soldier that sacrificed his life for his nation; the mother who sacrifices for her child; etc. We celebrate others’ sacrifices, but why is it so hard for us to sacrifice then?

Clean your room … your heart!
“There is a God-shaped hole in your heart that only Jesus can fill.” St Augustine. You are completely lovable, even with your greatest sins.
