  • Some Actions Are Always Wrong So What Do We Do? Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 19, 2021
     | 1,015 views

    Murdering the innocent is always gravely immoral. Thus we have been taught since the first Christians accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and celebrated communion together.

    Homily Monday of 12th week in ordinary time If we are to understand what the Lord is saying to us today, and more importantly what He is not saying, we need to find the key word in the Gospel: it’s “hypocrite.” A hypocrite is someone who calls sin a sin in other people, but ignores the sin in ...read more

  • Doing Battle In Charity Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 12, 2021
     | 1,124 views

    Scripture reminds us to contend with others, Christian or not, with charity as our rule of engagement.

    Homily for Monday of 11th week in Course 2 Cor 6: 1-10; Mt 5:38-42 There’s an old story that after the battle of Waterloo, someone was speaking to Lord Wellington about the superior courage of his soldiers. He is supposed to have said “our men were not braver than the enemy. They were brave five ...read more

  • By Passion And Cross, Not Just Resurrection Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 12, 2021
     | 688 views

    Jesus tells us that he will not miss the pain and suffering, because that is an integral part of our fallen human nature, and he was like us in all things except sin.

    Monday of 11th Week in Course Church from Eucharist Today’s reading from Matthew makes me squirm a bit. Maybe you, too. In modern English, we might say, if someone takes your shirt, go to your closet and give him your sport coat as well. That’s not to mention the radical call to nonviolence we ...read more

  • What Is Happiness, Really? Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 4, 2021
     | 1,191 views

    Happiness does not come from anything this-worldly. If you restrict happiness and joy to material things, you are doomed to disappointment.

    Happiness Is . . . When I was in my teens, it was still legal to advertise cigarettes on television, so we were often overwhelmed with those kinds of commercials. I think the one that was most offensive was the one that used a popular jingle to say “Happiness is the taste of” a particular cancer ...read more

  • Visitation Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on May 29, 2021
     | 2,354 views

    What has God done in your life; what has God done for you? That’s worth considering every day, both the big miracles and the tiny ones.

    Visitation When we give our lives to our Lord Jesus Christ, everything changes, doesn’t it? Most of us, from childhood, are habituated to self-centered lives. Things are important to us if they do something for us, if we enjoy them, if they give us security, pleasure, excitement, money. People are ...read more

  • And Who Would Betray Him Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on May 28, 2021
     | 1,265 views

    Let's try to enter into the mind of Judas Iscariot, and learn something about ourselves

    And Who Would Betray Him Of all the men and women who followed Jesus during his active ministry on earth, one is a total enigma. He was one of the twelve apostles. He was the treasurer of the group, so he was educated to some extent. The name: Judas Iscariot, son of Simon Iscariot (Jn 6: 71). In ...read more

  • The Eternal Enmity And The Conquest By Jesus Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on May 22, 2021
     | 1,059 views

    Mary's offspring, Jesus Christ, Son of God and her son, would defeat Satan and all the evil spirits and restore those who believe in Him to our original state in the image of God.

    Monday after Pentecost If the story weren’t of the greatest tragedy in human history, this reading from the early chapter of Genesis would almost be a French farce. We see just before these verses the virgin Eve (she is so seen by the Church Fathers) succumbing to the seductive voice of a serpent, ...read more

  • The True Purpose Of Pentecost Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on May 20, 2021
     | 1,235 views

    All of us need clear vision, and not just of material things.

    Thursday After Pentecost 2021 It has been said, probably ever since humans walked the face of earth, that the “winners write the history.” The winners also endeavor to craft the culture that they live in. So, for example, after the Norman invasion of England in 1066, the Norman princes built ...read more

  • Unity, Hypocrisy And Engagement With A Needy Culture Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on May 15, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,683 views

    But there’s more to Christian life. Much more. It’s a series of challenges and privileges that come to us with our existence in human society. We model our love for other human beings on the love God has for us.

    Seventh Sunday of Easter The prophet Isaiah said it several hundred years before Jesus was born: “My thoughts are not your thoughts. Your ways are not my ways.” Our psalm says it in another way: “As far as the east is from the west, so far has [God] put our transgressions from us.” God is not ...read more

  • Many Demons All Submit To One Lord Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on May 14, 2021
     | 939 views

    Stir up with fire many, many to get involved in their world and spread the good news, a good news of freedom from the slavery of sin, a good news of new life in Jesus Christ.

    Monday in Pentecost Week We bask today, and all this week in the warmth of Pentecost fire, but we bask at our own risk. Fire warms us so that we can be of service, or it burns out the imperfections. It is not merely for our enjoyment. The Holy Spirit was in Jesus in the most powerful way ...read more

  • The Ascension--More Than A Big Show Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on May 12, 2021
     | 1,432 views

    In faith we tell God, “I believe this because you have revealed it for my good, even and especially when I can’t understand it.”

    Ascension Day 2021 “You’ve got to be kidding. This is impossible. It’s all impossible.” That’s what the skeptic is bound to say about everything we’ve been reading since Good Friday. Jesus was nailed to a cross, pierced in His heart, dead as the lambs being sacrificed at the same time in the ...read more

  • Whatever Price Is Required Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on May 8, 2021
     | 1,069 views

    To get the joy of Christ, we have to be willing to imitate Him in His life and even in His death.

    What are the commandments of Jesus that we are supposed to keep, and why are they important? We have to start with the understanding that God is good, and never evil. He loves us, and wants only good for us. He is all-benevolent. St. John tells us: “In this is love, not that we loved God but that ...read more

  • Peace And Hope And Is Everything Really Under Control? Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on May 8, 2021
     | 1,702 views

    Peace is a sham without justice, mercy and love.

    Sixth Sunday of Easter Jesus says “peace I leave with you; my peace I give you.” That is His gift of love to us. The Gospel message suggests that I ask you: “how many of you love Jesus?” Please raise your hands. [wait for show of hands] Good, because in the end that means “how many of you ...read more

  • Sing In The Power Of The Holy Spirit For A World In Desperate Need Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on May 8, 2021
     | 1,424 views

    The Holy Spirit should be our constant counselor and guide. We are under tremendous pressure in the Christian churches and schools these days.

    Acts 16: 11-21 and John 15: 21-27 When we listen to the Gospel of Luke and the Acts, and to the Gospel of John as well, we get the impression that the Holy Spirit was more active in the early Church than today. Paul was forbidden by the Spirit–probably warned by a prophetic utterance–not to ...read more

  • When We Pray In The Name Of Jesus Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on May 1, 2021
     | 1,203 views

    Do we really get everything we ask for in prayer?

    Feast of Ss Philip and James 1 Cor 15; John 14 We are confident in the almighty power of Jesus Christ, our Risen Lord, because His Blessed Resurrection is the guarantee of that power, and of His saving will for all people. And of His sacred words, too, right? But is there anything in the Gospels ...read more
