Catholic Daily

An answer for just about everything

Saint Today, 28 Jan 2012, is the feast day of St Thomas Aquinas, Dominican priest and Doctor of the Church. From the almost 50 years of life which were given him in the 13th century he distilled an astonishing array of written works on theological subjects. It is one thing to have written so much, and yet another thing that he had it all sorted out in his mind and logically water-tight before he put pen to paper.

God in unexpected places

My own experience of “hearing” God in unexpected places came one day when I realized that I needed to rid myself of some fears I had before I could do His work. Read the rest at God in all things, a Catholic Daily blog .

His beginning did not predict the outcome

Saint Today, 27 Jan 2012, is the 150th anniversary of the death of Blessed Paul Josef Nardini, priest and founder of a religious order. This German Saint was beatified in 2006. Who could have predicted that a baby boy born into dire poverty to an unwed mother would achieve such great holiness? Read the rest at Society of Saints, a Catholic Daily blog.

Liberation Day

Today marks the 67th anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi concentration camps at Auschwitz-Birkenau in Poland. Just a little over a year ago, I had the opportunity to visit and learn about the horrors in person. Read the rest at Media Musings.

Extra - Extra - Read All About It!

Catholics Blessed John Paul II reportedly has been seen skipping from cloud to cloud after hearing the news about Napa Valley TV’s launching the 56 half hour videos, “Medjugorje – Our Mother’s Last Call and –and, and !!! each show is available now on the Internet by going to their archives so that you – in Europe – in China – in Timbuktu – can watch them at your convenience – again and again!

Woman of true nobility

Saint Today, 26 Jan 2012, is the feast day of St Paula, matron of Rome and co-worker of St Jerome. Wealthy and talented, as her faith increased so did her service to the spread of the Gospel. Her life was certainly never dull, and it has much to teach us. Read the rest at Society of Saints, a Catholic Daily blog.

St Paul and his dramatic conversion experience!

The conversion of Saint Paul was a dramatic affair. I was late for Mass today, on this, the Feast Day of the Conversion of Saint Paul. I was let out of work early and then public transport was late. I entered the Church as the words sounded from the pulpit: Read the rest at Saints and Angels.

You Are What You Eat

Three weeks into the new year and I’m still plugging along on my resolution to lose weight! Counting calories and trying to exercise each day…harder than I thought. Never enough time to do everything I need to do. Then I remembered that old familiar phase, “you are what you eat.” So, if I eat sweets, am I sweeter and if I eat nuts, nuttier? Read the full article at Grief, Stress and all the Rest.

Silencing Cogitation

The list of ways to safeguard the soul is a lengthy one – strengthen one’s faith, habitual study of religious teachings, confession, daily prayer, attend Mass regularly, read only spiritually enriching material, view only inspirational programs or movies, charitable works, follow the ten commandments, and be especially observant of actions and words – are just a few.

Catholic Saint of the Day - Let's all strive for sainthood!

St. Gildas the Wise
St. Gildas was probably born around 517 in the North of England or Wales. His father's name was Cau (or Nau) and, came from noble lineage, and he most likely had several brothers and sisters. There is evidence that one of his brothers, Cuil (or Hueil), was killed by King Arthur (who died in 537 AD), and it also appears that Gildas may have forgiven Arthur for this. He lived in a time when the glory of Rome had faded from Britain. The permanent legions had been withdrawn by Maximus, who used them to sack Rome and make himself Emperor. Gildas was noted in particular for his piety and good educated, and was not afraid to publicly rebuke contemporary monarchs at a time when libel was answered by a sword, rather than a Court order. Gildas lived for many years as a very ascetic hermit on Flatholm Island in the Bristol Channel. There he established his reputation for that peculiar Celtic sort of holiness that consists of extreme self-denial and isolation. At around this time, according to the Welsh, he also preached to Nemata, the mother of St David, while she was pregnant with the Saint. In about 547 he wrote a book De Excidio Britanniae (The Destruction of Britain). In this he writes a brief tale of the island from pre-Roman times and criticizes the rulers of the island for their lax morals and blames their sins (and those that follow them) for the destruction of civilization in Britain. The book was avowedly written as a moral tale. He also wrote a longer work, the Epistle, which is a series of sermons on the moral laxity of rulers and of the clergy. In these Gildas shows that he was well read in the Bible and some other classic works. He was also a very influential preacher.Because of his visits to Ierland and the great missionary work he did there, he was responsible for the conversion of many on the island, and may be the one who introduced anchorite customs to the monks of that land. From there he retired from Llancarfan to Rhuys, in Brittany, where he founded a monastery. Of his works on the running of a monastery (one of the earliest known in the Christian Church), only the so-called Penitential, a guide for Abbots in setting punishment, survives. He died around 571, at Rhuys. The monastery that he had founded became the center of his cult. He is regarded as being one of the most influential figures of the early English Church. The influence of his writing was felt until well into the middle ages, particularly in the Celtic Church. He is also important to us today as the first British writer whose works have survived fairly intact.
