  • Our Blessed End, Our Blessed Destiny

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 22, 2022
     | 526 views

    What a promise we share from the Holy Spirit

    Saturday of the 34th Week in course 2022 Here in the last weeks of our Church year, we have been hearing the Holy Spirit telling us about our “end.” Yes, the use of that word immediately brings to mind the last judgement and the final days of the universe, but the Holy Spirit is more clearly ...read more

  • Chaos Of The End-Times And Faith In Resurrection

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 17, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 447 views

    We live now and follow the way of Christ, not only because it causes a peaceful and civil society, but we even deny ourselves now so that we can celebrate with Christ in His kingdom.

    Saturday of the 33rd Week in course For those of us raised in a solid, middle-class home, in a reasonably ordered town or city, the scenes pictured in apocalyptic books like Revelation are hard to imagine. But those who were in Chicago in late August, 1968, and saw the police riot and ...read more

  • Judgement From The Rude Throne

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 16, 2022
     | 615 views

    His first words from the cross was the judgement of the people who had unjustly put Him on that rude throne: “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”

    Christ the King 2022 Those of you who are very familiar with the psalm we just sang, Psalm 122, may realize that the Church omits the last few verses of the prayer today. The last part of the psalm takes time to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. That makes a great deal of sense in the context of ...read more

  • The Real Day Of The Lord

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 10, 2022
     | 1,091 views

    The Biblical term "day of the Lord" is a lot more involved than most folks believe.

    Thirty-Third Sunday in Course 2022 The phrase “the day of the Lord” appears in the OT thirty-five times. But what does it mean? We’ve grown up thinking that the “Lord’s Day” is Sunday, because it’s the day of Christ’s Resurrection. Or maybe it’s the day of Christ’s return, a day nobody can fix on ...read more

  • Giving Well Beyond Common Hospitality

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 8, 2022
     | 421 views

    God, who is all good and has made everything good, never wills anything but good.

    Saturday of the 32nd Week in Course 2022 Take a look at this judge in the Gospel. You talk about corrupt politicians? This guy doesn’t even fear God, and has no respect for any human being. I don’t ever want to have that kind of guy pushing justice in a lawsuit or criminal trial. He would have no ...read more

  • Exhibiting The Steadfastness Of Christ

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 3, 2022
     | 776 views

    Jesus, how are you going to get out of this trap?

    Thirty-Second Sunday in Course 2022 Every week we rise together and recite one or the other professions of faith, either the Apostles’ Creed or the Niceno-Constantinopolitan. (That’s the long one with the word “consubstantial” in it.) One of the statements we say we believe is “the resurrection of ...read more

  • Jesus Christ, Not Wealth, Our Strength

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 1, 2022
     | 722 views

    Jesus helps us understand our situation with money even better.

    Saturday of the 31st Week in Course St. Paul founded most of the churches in Macedonia during his many months serving in that area, but the one at Philippi was perhaps his favorite. In the letter we have been hearing proclaimed these days, we see proof of his fondness for those good Christians. He ...read more

  • The Question We Should Ask Every Day

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 27, 2022
     | 801 views

    The question is the one St. Paul asked. Did my actions today proclaim the presence of Christ, and His desire that all men be saved? Or did it not?

    Saturday of the 30th Week in Course 2022 “To me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” St. Paul had a blinding revelation on the road to Damascus, an encounter with the risen Lord Jesus that turned his life completely topsy-turvy and started him on a perilous road that would take him all over ...read more

  • The Prayer Of The Humble Pierces The Clouds

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 21, 2022
     | 530 views

    Paul had prayed all his life, as we should. “The prayer of the humble pierces the clouds.” God always hears our prayers.

    Thirtieth Sunday in Course 2022 It’s helpful for us, two thousand years since the events, to consider some background on this story, this parable, of Jesus about the Pharisee and the tax-collector, sometimes called the “publican.” The word “Pharisee” comes directly from the Greek. It means ...read more

  • How Can Anyone Call Good Evil And Evil Good?

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 20, 2022
     | 676 views

    Perhaps we can better understand how it might be that a Catholic politician would be so saturated with a dominant secular opinion, supported by millions of dollars of donations, that even the gravest anti-human evil could be good.

    Thirty-First Sunday in Course 2022 Good morning, fellow sinners. If we forget that sobering fact, the Liturgy reminds us every time we come to Mass of our moral insufficiencies. And we get to say “through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault” and even strike our breasts every ...read more

  • When We Forget Our Primary Duty

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 18, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 706 views

    Humans become like those rebels when they forget that their primary mission in life is to live and die in love with God and neighbor.

    Saturday of 29th Week in Course 2022 Jesus always paid attention to the local news, wherever He might have been ministering. Today’s Gospel actually gives us two situations in which Jesus gets to comment on something happening in Jerusalem, something that these days would make at least page two of ...read more

  • Shall We Have Justice For The Elect?

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 14, 2022
     | 666 views

    If even a corrupt judge will wither under incessant pleading, can we not expect the most just of judges, God, will give us what we really need?

    29th Sunday in Course 2022 We should all remember the story of the Israelites wandering in the desert around Sinai for forty years. That was God’s way of purifying them before bringing them to the land of promise, Canaan. As they moved around, they ran into various other nomadic tribes, and one of ...read more

  • Leaven, For Good Or Ill

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 14, 2022
     | 473 views

    The yeast is there working, but it is not visible. It works in the whole loaf, and best in darkness.

    Friday of 28th Week in Course 2022 It’s important when we hear this Gospel from St. Luke that we position the event in the journey of Jesus to Jerusalem. Remember, Our Lord knows that He is going to Jerusalem for what on Mt. Tabor was called His Passover by Moses and Elijah. He is going up to ...read more

  • When We Are Haled Before The Magistrate--Now What?

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 13, 2022
     | 633 views

    If we deny Christ and His divine authority and eternal power, then we will be denied by Christ at the judgement, and face an eternity of suffering and radical aloneness.

    Saturday of 28th Week in Course 2022 Today’s Gospel has been misused far more times than it has been used by Christians facing martyrdom by the power of some civil or religious authority. What Jesus seems to intend in His challenge to us disciples is that when we are haled, or hauled, before ...read more

  • Healing From Leprosy And Sin

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 7, 2022
     | 988 views

    Just as leprosy could and did kill in the time of Christ, so sin kills the life of the soul in every age of man.

    Twenty-Eighth Sunday in Course 2022 What was the worst part of leprosy in the days of Christ and even millennia before and after? I believe that the skin condition and other physical ailments were horrible experiences, as well as knowing there was no human cure. But the worst part seems to be the ...read more
