The Catholic Cafe

A specific devotion to the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ may seem to some to be esoteric, but there has been a long and powerful tradition of this devotion in our Catholic history.

It is so good to be Catholic, but even Catholics sometimes take for granted the wonderful graces, and answer to Evil, that come to us in the Sacraments of the Church.

When we make assumptions, we are usually wrong. So, we then injure our relationships with others, ourselves and God. John Edwards of Just A Guy In The Pew joins us for an important conversation.

It has certainly been a difficult last few weeks in our nation. Tom Dorian, who just returned from where much of the recent strife became enflamed, shares with us how we can keep hope even in these challenging times.

It can be a challenge to be obedient, especially when it seems to contradict what we think is best. But, God rewards those who are obedient for the sake of pleasing Him.

Returning to Mass after a break can be a profoundly emotional thing to do, and it tells us how we have hungered for the opportunity. Perhaps we can find ways to stay hungry.

For most of us, it has been a long time since we have attended our Church. We may need to pray for some divine assistance with heavenly virtues like patience and humility as we are confronted with potential new realities.

As we shelter at home, we may find ourselves challenged when it comes to our spiritual health. Sometimes we may even feel we are in a desert of isolation.

We can all agree that sometimes, charity is not always the easiest of the virtues to share. But it can be especially challenging in times of crisis.

We all have wished we had more time to accomplish whatever is on we find on our to do lists. Now that most of us have that time, we have to be wise about the choices we make.
