    The Holy Name Of Jesus Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 1, 2022
     | 1,159 views

    The name of God and his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, is so often abused in our culture, that we must in this new year treat that Name with respect and honor.

    On January 1, Moses tells the people how Aaron and his following high priests should bless them. The strange phrase, “so shall they place my name upon the people of Israel” is part of the direction. In Hebrew, the word “name” (hashem) stands for the person and the person’s power and authority. The ...read more

    Individualism And Making Holy Families Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 26, 2021
     | 912 views

    Individualism, like most isms, is a philosophy of “me, first.” “I don’t care about anything or anybody but me.”

    Homily for Feast of the Holy Family Sir 3: 2-7, 12-14; Psalm 127; Col 3: 12-21; Lk 2: 22-40 Version 2 (request that lector read the long version of Colossians) Is any English word so misunderstood today as the key word in Paul’s letter to the church of Colossae? No, I don’t mean the word ...read more

    Attaining True Human Dignity Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 18, 2021
     | 1,287 views

    During this Christmas season, it makes sense that we should follow Mary’s prophetic declaration, “all generations will call me blessed”, by praying her prayer, the Magnificat, and asking God to give us the same spirit of obedience she had.

    December 22 The Magnificat Today's vesper antiphon speaks to Jesus as the "King of all the nations, the only joy of every human heart." One of the now "traditional" movies lots of people see each Christmas is one set in the middle of the last century. It's called ...read more

    Plan B From God Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 18, 2021
     | 1,569 views

    God could have written you off as a bad experiment. But your divine friend, now your divine judge, has a plan “B.” He won’t leave you to the nasty existence you chose.

    Christmas Christmas is the favorite day of every child. It’s also the favorite of the child that inhabits the center of every adult. So instead of a sermon, let’s play a Christmas adventure game, a game of pretend. Imagine yourself as Adam or Eve. The first Adam, the first Eve. Alive in the ...read more

    The Life And Death Struggles Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 11, 2021
     | 1,503 views

    Today we are in a struggle like that between Moses and Balak, or between Jesus and the religious authorities, a battle to the death between God’s people and a pagan secular culture.

    Homily for Monday in 3rd Week of Advent Balaam was a prophet for hire. He was a wealthy and respected prophet of Yahweh, but he was not an Israelite. Balak, a king who was in the way of Israel as they moved toward the Promised Land, was nervous about all these people moving across his territory. ...read more

    Two Days Before Christmas Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 1,097 views

    When Zechariah has an opportunity to perform restitution to God for his lack of faith, he writes boldly on his tablet the words of the angel, “his name shall be John.”

    Homily for Two Days before Christmas December 23 Today our Evening Prayer antiphon recognizes Jesus as "Emmanuel, king and lawgiver, desire of the nations, Savior of all people," and begs Him to come set us free from our sins. So we return to the story we began a few days ago, in ...read more

    True Leadership Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 4, 2021
     | 1,252 views

    As the culture of power and death sees it today, leaders have to be tyrants without hearts or they can’t get anything done.

    2nd Sunday of Advent Cycle C “Lead, or follow, or get out of the way.” This bulldozer philosophy of leadership sat prominently on the desk of sports-and-media maven Ted Turner. Almost a century earlier, another notorious anti-Catholic, Havelock Ellis, wrote a sneering thought about ...read more

    Sing, Sing, Sing Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 4, 2021
     | 1,980 views

    How do we live in harmony? The secret is in the Lord’s Prayer, the beautiful prayer of the end-times that we recite in one voice every time we gather for Liturgy.

    2nd Sunday of Advent With this great reading about John the Baptist from Matthew’s Gospel, you probably expect me to sermonize on repenting of sin as a preparation for Christmas. You might anticipate an exhortation to examine your consciences, identify those actions and attitudes that estrange ...read more

    What Does Our Hope Consist In? Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 4, 2021
     | 1,012 views

    Without God in the world we have no hope. When we come to know God as a true and present and living reality in our lives, we receive the gift of hope.

    Monday of 2nd week in Advent What was the hope of the man with the paralyzed limbs? What was the hope of the men who in their faith and love let him down into the room where Jesus was? At first glance, the only thing they seemed to want was a healing touch, a friend once more able to walk. But ...read more

    Fill Up Those Moral Valleys; Bring Low That Pride Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 28, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,883 views

    God’s vision for the earth, for humanity, is so much broader and better than any civil engineering project.

    Second Sunday of Advent I have to admit that when I read the words, “Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low, and the crooked made straight and the rough ways smooth,” I get a mental picture of some A&M graduate, or someone out of one of our other great ...read more

    Obedient Unto Death--Just Jesus Or Me, Too Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 25, 2021
     | 777 views

    Let’s pray each day for the faith of the pagan centurion, who was attracted to the Jewish faith but unable to make any commitment until he heard of Jesus Christ, approached him and asked for healing for his servant.

    Monday of First Week in Advent The words of Jesus today stand alongside those of Isaiah: two prophets saying the same thing. In these latter days, the true Israel of God is the people who understand how to obey the authoritative word. In Jesus’s case, it was a pagan centurion who learned how to ...read more

    God Comes To His People--In Wisdom Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 25, 2021
     | 1,389 views

    The Lord is a jealous God. He’s not jealous for His own sake, but for ours. He knows that we are made for Him, and cannot, as Augustine says, find rest until we rest in Him

    God comes to His people Monday of Fifth week in year Solomon thought that he was a chip off the old block, the rock of Israel’s faith, King David. But there was something wrong with Solomon, something that even his reputation as a great solver of problems couldn’t fix. Jewish tradition tells us ...read more

    So That All Might Be Gathered Into One Series

     | 573 views

    Why did the Temple of Jerusalem have to come down?

    Monday of 34th week in course Luke 21: 1-4; Daniel 1 The short passage we just received from Luke’s Gospel needs to be positioned properly. Taken by itself, it is a tribute to those who have nothing but give everything. Jesus would rightly consider his own mother to be like this poor widow—alone ...read more

    From Mary's poverty came the greatest event in human history.

    Monday of 34th week in course This is the time of year churches and schools and other non-profit institutions have been waiting for: tax-reduction season. The rich will–and we thank God for it–be sending in their end-of-the-year donations. It’s been a particularly hard year for many charities, ...read more

    Can We Be Saved Without Repentance? Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 13, 2021
     | 1,201 views

    The Holy Spirit is always eager to stir up repentance and change and heal the brokenhearted. But can we be saved without repenting and adopting a firm purpose of amendment?

    John 8: 10-11 Luke 6: 45-48 Psalm 50 Romans 6: 1-19 One of the greatest scandals afflicting our decadent society, one that has even bled over into the Church, is the phenomenon of public figures claiming to be Christian, or Catholic, attending worship and taking communion, and then going out on ...read more
