    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 4, 2021
     | 958 views

    The obvious answer that we can all affirm, is “nothing is lacking.” But someONE may be lacking.

    Monday of 23rd week in Course The words of St. Paul to the Colossians are a tremendous stumbling block for some Christians. What is lacking in the sufferings of Jesus Christ? The obvious answer that we can all affirm, is “nothing is lacking.” Objectively, Jesus suffered and died and won our ...read more

  • Labor And The Lord's Day Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 4, 2021
     | 1,311 views

    The labor of the man became hard labor over an earth that yielded little. The labor of the woman became hard labor not just in the act of birth, but in the ongoing action of childrearing and coping with her man’s gripes about his work, not to mention her own work.

    23rd Sunday in Course We learn our place and earn our bread with hard labor. We become wise, Lord, and begin to understand our place and yours only when our hair is white, our minds slowed, our joints unable to leap to do your will. And we build fantastic towers and plan grand campaigns without ...read more

  • Casting Out The Demons Of The Enlightenment Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 29, 2021
     | 966 views

    How "modern" evil triumphs so often, and how Jesus Christ defeats it in our day.

    Tuesday of 22nd week in Course When the prince of this world, defeated on Calvary, began the rear-guard action to destroy as many humans as possible before Jesus’s final return and triumph, he relied on the obvious means. Stir up dissent in the Church so the Church turns away from her mission. ...read more

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 29, 2021
     | 1,169 views

    Why did Jesus not heal many of the sick in His own home town?

    Monday of 22nd week in Course 1 Cor 2: 1-5; Lk 4: 16-30 Hearing today’s Gospel with fresh ears might lead some of us to be a little critical of Jesus. After all, the townsfolk of Nazareth welcomed Jesus back and invited Him to act as lector and even give the homily. When he told them that He was ...read more

  • In Word, In Power And In The Holy Spirit Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 21, 2021
     | 806 views

    If we are, in the words of one of the saints, going to be a "spectacle of saints," what better time to be alive than now, when the Church is encircled by enemies from both the left and the right.

    Monday of 21st week in Course This is a great time to be alive and to be a Christian. Now it’s not a very convenient time to be a Christian. In fact, with threats of terror coming from every part of the world, it’s not even a very convenient time to be alive. But greatness does not very often ...read more

  • Nit-Picker Or Disciple? Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 21, 2021
     | 1,029 views

    It’s a constant battle to make prayer not just external, but an action of listening to God that can change our hearts and behaviors.

    Tuesday of 21st week in Course Today we have one of the great analogies of Biblical literature–only St. Matthew has it–you strain out the gnat and swallow the camel. Jesus says “Oy! You nitpick the little stuff and neglect the critical duties.” The people described by the Hebrew word ...read more

  • Christian Responsibility Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 7, 2021
     | 1,497 views

    Jesus came not to destroy the Law but to fulfill it. But in so doing Jesus made us not merely servants of God, but sons and daughters of God.

    Homily for Monday of the 19th week in course Did the early followers of Jesus consider themselves to be Christians or Jews? The answer is that their discipleship to Jesus was, in their minds, the completion of Judaism. Jesus came not to destroy the Law but to fulfill it. But in so doing Jesus ...read more

  • Transfigured In Faith Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 2, 2021
     | 1,078 views

    Even when God's people screw up and turn their backs on their call, He continues to work to turn them back to the right path.

    Transfiguration of the Lord Jesus 2021 Whenever I read Gospels such as the one today, where Jesus is transfigured before his key disciples, speaks with Moses and Elijah, and then tells the witnesses not to tell anyone else about the vision, I think of Isaiah chapter 55. God is speaking: “For my ...read more

  • Triumphing In The Perfect Moral Storm Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 31, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,556 views

    Why do we see the signs of Christ’s presence and refuse to believe in Him? He is the Son of God. What does He want to do in us today?

    Monday of 18th week in course Gospel of Life Poor Hananiah the prophet. He was completely clueless about the mission of a prophet. He believed–and I think it was a core belief–that prophets are called by God to make people feel better. So when Jeremiah, miming his prophecy of disaster for a ...read more

  • Miracle? What Miracle? Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 26, 2021
     | 2,598 views

    If we get hung up on materialism and materialistic explanations, we might miss the most wonderful truths of all.

    Seventeenth Sunday in Course 2021 What Miracle? I’ve been teaching and studying chemistry for most of the time since the year 1962, which for most folks alive today was the Dark Ages. The one law of science that governs my discipline is called the Law of Conservation. Before and after a chemical ...read more

  • Compost Pile Or Heap Of Rotten Garbage? Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 24, 2021
     | 1,154 views

    The Christian heart needs frequent airing out and turning, even after conversion and sacramental grace.

    Monday of 17th Week in Course Ss Anne and Joachim When someone says the word “parable” to most Christians, I think they immediately recall the parables of Jesus, like the one we heard today: the tiny mustard seed grows into a huge bush, the yeast mixed up with wheat, if properly mixed, causes the ...read more

  • Even The Threat Outside Our Gate Cannot Compromise Christ's Presence Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 17, 2021
     | 975 views

    We may not see Christ's triumphant presence in our lives, but He will give us the grace of faith to know that He is always here.

    Monday of 16th Week in Course Evil and adulterous generations are always seeking signs. That is to say, people who resist the call of Jesus say, “I’ll reform my ways when I see something that unequivocally tells me that I’m wrong.” They are looking for crosses in the sky, or thunderous voices ...read more

  • The Shocking Demands Of Jesus Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 10, 2021
     | 1,116 views

    A culture obsessed by sensory suggestion refuses to admit categories of transformation. But that is what Jesus Christ intends to do, and we desperately need Him to do it.

    Monday of 15th week in course For Catholics raised on family values, Matthew’s transmission of Jesus’ words today are something shocking. No peace—sword—a man’s foes will be those of his own household: these are profoundly disturbing images. But in the world of Matthew, who wrote for a ...read more

  • Even In The Deserts Of Our Life, Christ Is There Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 3, 2021
     | 1,270 views

    As weak and sinful as I am, He gives me the grace to serve Him.

    Homily for Monday of 14th week in course There is an undeniable tension in the Gospels between two divine realities. On the one hand, the Lord, always kind and merciful, reveals Himself through signs and wonders–personal revelations like the angels on Jacob’s ladder, raising little girls from ...read more

  • How Our Nation Turned Its Back On God's Commandments Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 26, 2021
     | 1,016 views

    No city, no nation, no culture deliberately sets out to become a society of depraved miscreants, to be forever remembered as abhorrent, to give its name to an unspeakable sin.

    Homily for Monday of 13th week in Course Gen 18; Mt 8:18-22 Have you ever wondered how Sodom and Gomorrah got to be the way they were in the time of Abraham and Lot? In their day gangs of violent homosexuals roamed the city night after night, invading the homes of law-abiding citizens, ...read more
