    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 17, 2020
     | 1,939 views

    All of Torah, all of God’s law is summed up in two lines. That’s good, because after original sin, we humans routinely show ourselves to be pretty stupid.

    30th Sunday in Course 2020 Plague Year The Church has had us immersed in St. Matthew’s Gospel, chapter 22, for the better part of a month now, and last week’s Gospel with the famous quote, “Render to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God” was a rebuke of the Pharisees. So the beginning of ...read more

     | 1,019 views

    By becoming united with Christ in Baptism, and growing in Christ through the sacraments and a godly life, we experience the fullness of human life.

    Tuesday of the 29th Week in Course 2020 Plague Year Separated, alienated, strangers. Those are the words that begin St. Paul’s exhortation to the Ephesians and to us today. He continued, “having no hope and without God in the world.” Paul’s statement sounds very much like a diagnoses of the ...read more

     | 2,147 views

    The ultimate purpose of the exiles' return was to restore right worship in the Temple of the Lord, once it was rebuilt.

    Twenty-Ninth Sunday in Course 2020 Render Unto Cæsar When we see clearly in the Gospel that Jesus Himself taught the Christian responsibility to be active in government affairs, we preachers are tempted to hop on that and talk about why we must vote, and pay our fair share of taxes, and obey ...read more

  • Wash Your Hands! Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 10, 2020
     | 1,714 views

    Everything that Jesus does, or that people do to Jesus, gives Him an opportunity to teach or preach to us hard-skulled folks.

    Tuesday of the 28th Week in Course 2020 Wash Up! I’m pretty certain that somewhere in this wide Catholic world there is a smart-Alec youngster who hears this Gospel and mouths off to mom: “Jesus didn’t wash up before dinner. Why do I have to do that?” In these days of almost overdone attention to ...read more

    How Is It fair to throw the poor guy out in the street?

    Twenty-eighth Sunday in Course 2020 I encountered today’s Gospel for the first time when I was a teenager.

But when I read the punch line, right at the end where Jesus quotes this king ...read more

     | 2,153 views

    Something to consider when we are tempted to ask, "Lord, do you care?" Or tempted to order God around.

    Tuesday of 27th Week in Course 2020 One Thing is Needful People like me who are always busy can easily fall into what I call the “Martha trap.” Here we see two sisters, sisters of Lazarus of Bethany, during a visitation to their home by Our Lord. Mary sits at the feet of Jesus, soaking up his ...read more

     | 1,109 views

    Francis, the poor friar in his garment of third-rate cloth who smiles through his poverty is enormously attractive, because he is totally exceptional.

    Feast of St. Francis of Assisi 2020 October 4, 2020 G.K. Chesterton said about St. Francis that “he plunged after poverty as men have dug madly for gold.” He was in love with what or who he called “Lady Poverty” for a crazy but practical reason and it has to do with spreading the Gospel of the ...read more

     | 2,072 views

    Today we are at the beginning of what could be a terrible time in the history of the Catholic Church and all the communities who call themselves Christian.

    Tuesday of 26th Week in Course 2020 Michael, Gabriel and the Archangels Today is a special day for me and my family. My birth name was Michael, and the day reminds me to thank, in spirit, the woman who bore me and gave me to my adoptive parents, who taught me the faith and gave me a loving ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,203 views

    The problem is not something solvable by election returns, and we have to stop acting like it is.

    Thursday of the 25th Week in Course 2020 National Day of Prayer/Fasting Herod Antipas was the primo politician of Palestine two thousand years ago. As one of the few surviving offspring of Herod the Great, Antipas ruled Galilee and Perea, but he was pretty paranoid. John the Baptist had preached ...read more

  • Repent And Do Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,636 views

    Every one of us, at the end of every day, should ask the same question: are we the first son or daughter, who refused, or the second, who said “yes, sir,” but didn’t do?

    26th Sunday in Course 2020 Anyone who has raised more than one child can empathize with the parent in this story from St. Matthew’s Gospel. In fact, it’s a little like the story of the Prodigal Son from St. Luke. Dad says to the first son, presumably the oldest, “Go work in the vineyard today.” He ...read more

    Mary understood, as every Christian should, that any great thing that happens in our walk with Christ is due to the Lord’s graceful action and will.

    Tuesday of 25th Week in Course 2020 Today’s story from the life of Jesus Christ is from St. Luke’s Gospel, and it looks like proof of alienation of Jesus from His extended family, doesn’t it? The family is trying to get to Jesus for some reason, and the crowd tells Him about it, and He seems to ...read more

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 15, 2020
     | 1,802 views

    Whatever honor and respect is due to Mary is solely because of the life, death and resurrection of her Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ.

    Lady of Sorrows, Woman for All September 15, 2020 If there is one title of the Virgin Mother of Christ that all Christians should agree on, it is “Our Lady of Sorrows.” John the Evangelist is very clear that in the hour of Jesus’s passion, crucifixion and death, He was guarded by a handful of ...read more

     | 1,764 views

    We need to subject all our political opinions an conversation to the continuing need for repentance called to us by Scripture.

    25th Sunday in Course 2020 It’s seems like the political yard signs this election cycle have been cropping up for two years, like the rain lilies that sprout overnight after a heavy downpour. If your convictions about the relevance of your faith to society have made you politically aware and ...read more

And every three years, ...read more
