    “feet shod with the kind of shoe created for the Gospel of peace.”

    General Douglas MacArthur wrote that there are 4 things necessary to win any battle. One is strength-- We hear Mark 3:27 in our Gospel, “no one can enter a strong man's house to plunder his property unless he first ties up the strong man. Then he can plunder the house.” Jesus explains that ...read more

     | 123 views

    What do we do with those we hate and fear?

    Sixth Sunday of Easter 2024 One of the biggest advantages of being closer to age 80 than age 70 is that you actually have a sixty or sixty-five year vantage point on history that you have personally lived through. That’s if your memory works at all, of course. Right now we are in the midst of both ...read more

    Losing Popularity But Gaining Christ Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 29, 2024

    Saturday of the Fifth Week in Easter 2024 Today’s Scriptures give one of the best examples of stating a principle of evangelization in the Gospel and giving an example of application in the reading from the Acts of the Apostles.

     | 37 views

    Being inspired by the Eucharist by two women.

    Corpus Christi Sunday is about clarifying and being inspired by the Eucharist: E.g., During the Fraction rite at Mass, before the “Behold the Lamb of God,” I break the large consecrated host and put a particle into the Chalice. However, since the altar microphone is an older model, it must be ...read more

    I’ve found over the years that the Lord is constantly turning things upside down. That's the way He gets things rightside up.

    Fifth Sunday of Easter 2024 The psalm that we sang or heard just a little while ago, our responsorial today–does anyone remember the first words of the whole psalm in Scripture? It’s Psalm 22.

    Opposition confronted Paul everywhere, but when they left, they left a Spirit-filled, Christ-filled congregation.

    Saturday of the Third Week of Easter 2024 Our readings this Paschal season from the Acts of the Apostles seem continuous, but there are many verses edited out for length.

    Today’s Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity is tailor-made for preachers who like homilies with three points! Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, what more could I ask?

    How God Shows Unending Mercy Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 17, 2024
     | 176 views

    We are tasked with showing the glory, justice and patience of God, and we mess up, sometimes frequently.

    Fourth Sunday of Easter 2024 The Lord’s mercy endures forever. Let’s be honest, here. Do we really deserve God’s mercy, when all of us who have reached the age of reason have sins in our life, and most of us have serious sins impacting human life, or honesty, financial justice, or our human ...read more

    When God breathes.

    At Pentecost, the room shook and wind blew and the whole room crackled with the Holy Spirit’s electric presence.

    They had two things to “sell.”

    Saturday of the Third Week in Easter 2024 Why did the Church grow in membership so rapidly in the last half of the first century?

    If you don’t have enough personal goof-ups to occupy your repentant mind, how about repenting our national sins?

    Third Sunday of Easter 2024 Late in his life, St. John the Apostle wrote three letters from his exile to churches he directed in Asia, now a part of Turkey.

     | 431 views

    We are chasing a sense of enoughness. But it remains ever out of reach, and the effort and anxiety are burning us out. American "performancism."

    Martha Campbell said of flunking her final exams and the resulting report card, and what her parents did: "I got a no TV for a week in math, a no dessert for a month in history, and a just wait 'til your father gets home in social studies." My seminary Bible teacher said, “The ...read more
