Let’s see if it’s true. Will I be banned for hate speech?

A man is a man and a woman is a woman.

Let’s say that your neighbor has chosen a gravely immoral lifestyle. How do you love them with the love of God? You don’t say to them “I support you in your immoral living.” Doing so is not love of God; it’s a selfish form of love that cares more about how the person will respond.

Overcoming Envy August 23, 2023 - Wednesday of the Twentieth Week in Ordinary Time - Saint Rose of Lima, Virgin—Optional Memorial - Catholic Daily Reflections from My Catholic Life!

Think about the blessings that others have been given that you have not. Sincerely look at your interior reaction to that and pray that God will grant you the gift of being able to be generous in your rejoicing in those blessings.

Begging for Scraps of Mercy August 20, 2023 - Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year A) - Catholic Daily Reflections from My Catholic Life!

Today’s Gospel reflection. Do you pray with self-righteousness, as if you deserve God’s mercy? Do you tend to see God as one Who owes you something? Do you get angry with God when He doesn’t immediately answer your demands? Try to humble yourself like this woman. Beg for whatever God wants to give.

All Are Welcome August 19, 2023 - Saturday of the Nineteenth Week in Ordinary Time - Saint John Eudes, Priest—Optional Memorial- Catholic Daily Reflections from My Catholic Life!

Today’s Gospel reflection. A scriptural basis for infant baptism and our duty to not withhold the love of God from others.

The Love for Holy Living August 18, 2023 - Friday of the Nineteenth Week in Ordinary Time - Catholic Daily Reflections from My Catholic Life!

Today’s Gospel reflection. The bottom line is that we only become who we were made to be when we live like Christ. And He lived a life that was unconditionally sacrificial and selfless.

Reflect, today, upon the high calling of love that you have been given. Can you accept this teaching of our Lord?

Always and Forever Forgiving August 17, 2023 - Thursday of the Nineteenth Week in Ordinary Time- Catholic Daily Reflections from My Catholic Life!

Today’s Gospel reflection. God is willing to forgive us no matter what. But forgiveness does have one price. The price is that we must also forgive others to the same extent.

Consider the Our Father: “…Forgive us our trespasses AS we forgive those who trespass against us….”

Reflection 228: The Unfailing Presence of God Is God alive in your life?  Does He live within you?  Is He present to you in the inner depths of your heart day and night?  There is only one thing that would ever cause God to leave you and that ...

God is always with us unless we persist in deadly mortal sin. Thankfully there is an easy remedy to bring us back to him when we have willfully chosen to participate in a gravely sinful act.

Praying Together with the Son August 16, 2023 - Wednesday of the Nineteenth Week in Ordinary Time - Saint Stephen of Hungary—Optional Memorial - Catholic Daily Reflections from My Catholic Life!

Today’s Gospel reflection. What type of prayer is effective?

Reflection 227: Human Plans are Thwarted It’s easy for us to come up with what we deem to be a great plan for our lives and for the glory of God.  We can think, and plan, and develop and organize things in a certain way only to find out t...

Words of wisdom…discern God’s will before you make your plans.

Happy Birthday!

The Assumption of the Mother of God Tuesday, August 15, 2023 - Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary- Catholic Daily Reflections from My Catholic Life!

Reflect today upon the Most Glorious Ever-Virgin Mary who was conceived without sin, remained sinless throughout her life, and was taken body and soul into Heaven where she now adores the Most Holy Trinity and intercedes for you and for the whole Church.

@canonlaw.ninja I appreciate the invite, but I don’t think I’ll be very active here. Seems like the vibe is foul and hateful. If you have recommendations as to who to follow I’ll check them out. Thanks again.
