    The New Temple Really Exists Now

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 19, 2022
     | 1,143 views

    What we should do, routinely and habitually, is commit ourselves to acting rightly and then do not expect any reward, any promotion.

    Saturday of 20th Week in Course It’s always interesting when a reading from Scripture begins with the words “afterwards. . .” or “after this. . .” because when we hear those words we ask the question “after what?” So when we go back to chapter 42 of Ezekiel, we get the answer. Ezekiel, a prophet ...read more

    Poverty, Yes, But Not Under Compulsion

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 11, 2022
     | 753 views

    Those who try to force others to be good are playing God without acting like God.

    Thursday of the 19th Week in Course If you did a survey among Americans to ask them to name their favorite saint, I would guess with some confidence that it is St. Francis of Assisi. And for a female saint, we could choose his close associate, St. Clare of Assisi, whom we celebrate today. As our ...read more

    Better Than A Life Of Whining

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 10, 2022
     | 946 views

    Many of the exiles thought they were being punished for the sins of their ancestors.

    Saturday of the 19th week in course Human beings sure like to whine, don’t we? Something bad happens and we look around for someone to take responsibility, somebody to blame for our misfortunes. Ezekiel faced that during his long exile in Babylon. He was constantly asked why by the Israelites who ...read more

    Rashness And Integrity: God's Ways Are Not Ours

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 5, 2022
     | 742 views

    God’s ways are not ours, and his judgement is broader than ours.

    Saturday of 18th Week in Course We cannot imagine the situation in the tiny kingdom of Judah in the seven or so years before Nebuchadnezzar’s siege and destruction of Jerusalem. King Josiah, after a pious and largely peaceful reign of 31 years, had rashly attacked the Egyptian army at Megiddo and ...read more

    Hurricane Against Sin And Redemption Through Christ

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 30, 2022
     | 718 views

    Yes, Israel was exiled, but the long-deserved punishment would not last forever. So there is hope today in Christ.

    Thursday of 18th Week in Course Human beings tend to make a mess of their lives and their societies, simply when each one has the motto “look out for number one.” Because number one is the ego. I make decisions based on what will please me, regardless of what that does to anybody else. When ...read more

    The Ruler Must Obey The Law Of God

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 29, 2022
     | 838 views

    If a ruler does not hold God and God’s Law in the highest respect, he will ultimately fail.

    Saturday of 17th Week in Course Men and women without faith in the twenty-first century are a lot like the Israelites who were hearing and yet not listening to Jeremiah five centuries before Jesus. If you have no faith in Christ, in the transcendent reality we call communion with the Trinity, you ...read more

    Weeds Among The Wheat

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 21, 2022
     | 1,162 views

    God, the Lord, is the Reality that defines reality, that holds all that is, material or spiritual, in being.

    Saturday of the 16th Week in Course Weeds Among the Wheat The tribes that Moses–and probably others–led into the Promised Land were, in the words of Exodus (12:38), a “mixed multitude.” That means that although once in the desert they were all called Hebrews or Israel, not all were physical ...read more

    God's Love Is Constant--Even When It Does Not Feel Good

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 19, 2022
     | 1,038 views

    When the Lord showed Himself to Moses on the mountain, He declared Himself to be a God of compassion and loving kindness–in Biblical language–forever.

    Tuesday of the 16th Week in Course Recently I heard a homily that really pricked my ears, and almost prompted me to jump up in the pew and object. The preacher said something like “the God of the OT is not One that I worship,” because in the Scriptures we read some pretty nasty stuff. Psalm 137 is ...read more

    Awake In Christ, Not Woke Without Him

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 13, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,388 views

    In the Name of Jesus, all can find hope.

    Saturday of 15th Week in Ordinary Time We have a bad habit, at least sometimes, of looking at the Scriptures and thinking, “gee, things were sure awful back in OT times. Haven’t we made a lot of progress?” Well, the answer is that apart from following Jesus Christ and His Law, we have not made a ...read more

    Recognition And Acknowledgement

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 9, 2022
     | 1,498 views

    Recognition of God precedes intimate contact and mission.

    Saturday 14th Week in Course One of the most difficult features of the time in which we were all kept six feet from each other because of an epidemic was that we went about in face coverings. We were kept from intimate conversation because we didn’t recognize most people. Most of us relate ...read more

    The Vain Aspiration For Utopia

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 4, 2022
     | 732 views

    You may be the only one on earth who can walk with them and for them on their journey toward the Father.

    Homily Let’s take a moment to do a thought experiment. We do that a lot in the physical sciences to make our hypotheses and plan our real experiments. So let’s do that with society. (After all, politicians experiment with society all the time, don’t they, even if the thought behind it is totally ...read more

    Just How Important Is Jesus Christ To Us? Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 2, 2022
     | 930 views

    Is Jesus Christ so important to us that we would lay down everything to witness to His abiding love?

    Thursday of 14th Week in Course (July 7 2022) Roger Dicconson “No gold or silver or money in your belt, no bag” basically the clothes on their back were all that the early disciple-missionaries had on their journeys. When we look at the histories of the witnesses to Christ in the sixteenth ...read more

    What Was Barren Will Be Restored Wonderfully

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 30, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,162 views

    We look forward to the kingdom of justice and love Jesus would establish after His Resurrection and the Descent of the Holy Spirit.

    Saturday of 13th week in course For the last few days we have been hearing the prophecies of the minor prophet Amos, who came from the kingdom of Judah–David’s kingdom–to the large but heretical kingdom of Israel. This prophetic vision, like the others we have heard, tells Israel that their sins ...read more

    Juneteenth Homily

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 19, 2022
     | 1,543 views

    What is slavery and how can one be a slave and not aware of it?

    Juneteenth 2022 It was in 1865 that Union General Granger read and enforced the 1862 Emancipation Proclamation freeing slaves. The thirteenth amendment banning slavery in the United States had not been passed and ratified yet, but Lincoln’s executive order was enforceable and Galveston Texas was ...read more

    Nothing Ordinary About Our Call

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 18, 2022
     | 955 views

    Our evangelical mission is anything but ordinary.

    This Sunday is best called the “3rd Sunday after Pentecost.” I say it is best called that because it reminds us that Christ’s Catholic Church is Pentecostal–evangelical in the original sense. We are empowered by the Holy Spirit, working in us individually, as families, and as community to bring the ...read more
