We ask you, urgently: don't scroll past this

Dear readers, Catholic Online was de-platformed by Shopify for our pro-life beliefs. They shut down our Catholic Online, Catholic Online School, Prayer Candles, and Catholic Online Learning Resources essential faith tools serving over 1.4 million students and millions of families worldwide. Our founders, now in their 70's, just gave their entire life savings to protect this mission. But fewer than 2% of readers donate. If everyone gave just $5, the cost of a coffee, we could rebuild stronger and keep Catholic education free for all. Stand with us in faith. Thank you.

Fr Peter Stravinskas: The Message of the Ashes, a Homily for Ash Wednesday Watch

Image of What is the message of the ashes? The Lord of the ashes demands a hearty and heart-filled decision to move away from any thing or any person which might lead you away from Him, the jealous God Who insists on your undivided love not because He needs it but because we need it, precisely in order to be fulfilled and happy, in the most profound sense of the word.

Fair Weather Friends and Setbacks: Learning Real Faith from the Book of Job Watch

Image of Pictured: The friends of Job. I have experienced my own painful share of fair-weather friends in my life. You know the kind that I mean. They are there with you when everything is flourishing, claiming they have your back. They love to be there in the picture with you, smiling and enjoying identification with someone who is perceived as successful, whether it is on the financial, career or even the spiritual front. However, when the storms come and the leaves begin to fall, when the difficulties of life throw a proverbial wrench in the works, they are quickly gone, having dropped you, as they say, like a bad habit.

Job did not follow God because He was so good to him, but because He is God. So should we. When we encounter the inevitability of loss, ... continue reading
