It's Sunday which means it's time for Reflections on the Mass Readings! Today's readings are brought to you by God, and they are 1 Kings 3:5, 7 - 12, Romans 8:28 -30 and Matthew 13: 44-52. What would you ask for? If God came to you and said "I will give you anything you want, …

No More Excuses
While doing some research for a writing project, I came across this quote from the writings of Jose Maria Escrevia, the founder of Opus Dei. It is about excuses. "Excuses. You will always find plenty if you want to avoid your obligations. What a profusion of well-thought-out nonsense! Don't stop to consider it. Dismiss it …
Sunday Reflection: Separating the Wheat and the Weeds
Today's Gospel reading was from Matthew:13:24 - 30. This is Jesus telling another one of his parables. It talks about a man who is planting his wheat field. After he and his workers sow their seeds, one of the man's enemies comes around at night and sows seeds for weeds among the wheat. When …

The Catholic War on Women
Okay, it's finally out there in the open, all Catholics hate women and they have declared war on them. It's obvious isn't it? After all it was those Catholic Supreme Court justices that voted to deny women the right to health care. How dare they! Women everywhere will no longer have access to contraception or …
Peace Be With You
So many things to write about, so little time. I could write about today's readings, I could write about marriage and how and why mine failed, I could write about the "Culture of Death" or even the upside down morality in the world today and how we have replaced God. But... instead I want to …
Culture of Death A Rant
As I have mentioned before, I am a big fan of Patrick Madrid, a Catholic Apologist and speaker and his radio show, "Right Here, Right Now" , well except for the fact that after listening my head hurts from thinking too much about what is discussed. But this isn't a promotion for the show, rather …
If I Knew Then – Reflection of a Wayward Catholic
One of the first things I did when I decided to find my way back to God was to read the Bible. This is something I had never done. I remember once as a teenager, perhaps when I was in college, picking it up and starting to read it but I didn't get very far. …

Either You Are Catholic or You Are Not
You are either Catholic or you aren't. No, this isn't an attempt to convert everyone out there to Catholicism, but rather it is directed to those who claim to be Catholic, yet don't follow the teachings of the church. They pick and choose which tenets of the faith to follow and decide the others aren't …
Does God Really Answer Our Prayers
Does God really answer our prayers or do we only think he does? One of the things I have come to notice during my journey back to the Catholic faith is how God continues to answer my prayers. I have to admit I was always pretty sceptical about the whole idea of God actually doing …
Who is Walking Beside You
It has been awhile since I have written a Sunday Bible Reflection, where I take one of the readings from today's mass and reflect on it, so let me do that today. And I promise there wont be one mention of either abortion or the state of morality (or immorality) in this post. Well other …
