The Wayward Catholic

"No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your strength, but with the temptation will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. " 1 Cor 10:13

How can we teach others and expect them to follow if we don't follow the rules ourselves?

COVID- 19 Heart vs Mind

On March 24, 2020 By Paul RoyIn Catholicism, Faith, prayer, UncategorizedLeave a comment

I have started this post about five times now and am finding it extremely difficult to write. I am trying to write my thoughts on this whole Corona Virus situation. I am very conflicted on this, conflicted about the "quarantine", God, my faith and my Church. My head says one thing, my heart another. Let …

The Least You Can Do

On November 23, 2019November 23, 2019 By Paul RoyIn Catholicism, Faith, Sacraments, UncategorizedLeave a comment

This is the next in my little series on what it takes to be a good Catholic. In this post, I will turn to the Catechism of the Catholic Church and write about what is called "The Precepts of the Church". These are the five least things you can do to be in communion with …

If not us – Who

On November 5, 2019 By Paul RoyIn Catholicism, Faith, UncategorizedLeave a comment

I know what I write today is probably nothing new to anyone who regularly reads this blog. I am pretty sure I have written about this before, but being as stubborn as I am, I am going to write about it again. After Sunday Mass this past week, my wife and I headed over to …

Are you one who likes lists? Do you make a list to help you get to Heaven? Here is some advice.

Should Have, Could Have, Would Have

On October 22, 2019 By Paul RoyIn Catholicism, Christianity, morality, UncategorizedLeave a comment

I should have done this, I could have done that, I would have done the other thing. We have all said one, or all, of these at some point in our lives. For example, in my case, it would be "I should have never strayed from the church"; "I could have listened to my father …

If Only

How many times have we said that? If only I had more time. If only I had more money. If only I had more faith. Throughout my life, I have always been an “If only “ guy. Whether it is “If only I had made this choice, this would have happened.” I have even said …

A Good Catholic

On October 6, 2019October 10, 2019 By Paul RoyIn Catholicism, Faith, spiritual journey, UncategorizedLeave a comment

Am I a good Catholic? What makes a good Catholic? This is the question I have been asking myself for the last few weeks. I feel like I'm failing in the faith department. Sunday's Gospel reading, Luke 17: 5-10, is about faith. The apostles ask Jesus to increase their faith. Once again this is Jesus' …

You Did What at Mass

On January 29, 2019 By Paul RoyIn Catholicism, Faith, UncategorizedLeave a comment

Last Sunday's 10:00 Mass kicked off Catholic School Week. Many of the students from the parish school were there with their parents. Before the Mass began I was watching the people who were coming in and I noticed a few things missing. Let me begin by saying I am in no way judging anyone in …

No One Said it Would be Easy

On December 25, 2018 By Paul RoyIn Catholicism, Faith, RCIA, UncategorizedLeave a comment

While at Mass today I began to think about the last year of my life. There have been some good things, and some bad things, mostly good. I have continued my journey back to the Lord, and have made some great strides, but as I always say, I have come a long way but still …
