     | 1,662 views

    This sheltering interlude is a time when we should be, and many of us have been, acquiring more understanding of our faith.

    Tuesday of the 4th week of Easter 2020 “Growing Pains” When the authorities in Jerusalem, a few years after the Resurrection of Christ, determined to wipe out the new Jesus cult that was attracting so many converts, their persecution had an unintended result. The Jesus contagion spread all over ...read more

     | 1,718 views

    Christians the world over will reimagine a world that is based on the teachings of Christ and the Church.

    Tuesday of the third week of Easter 2020 Whenever authorities take exception to a popular movement, and try to stamp it out, if the movement is actually doing good they end up squishing it out all over the place. A few days ago our reading from the Acts of the Apostles featured the warning of Reb ...read more

  • Sharing In A Time Of Economic Emergency Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 19, 2020
     | 2,041 views

    At the time when we are most tempted to hunker down and hoard our resources for ourselves, I think the Lord is calling us to be generous with our churches and charitable institutions.

    Tuesday of the 2nd Week in Easter 2020 The disciple Joseph Bar-nabas is one of the key players in the Acts of the Apostles. As the reading tells us, Joseph was given the name “Barnabas” by the leaders of the first church, the church of Jerusalem. Why? I had an experience when I was principal of a ...read more

  • "They Have Taken Him” Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 12, 2020
     | 1,854 views

    Through her tears she saw angels asking her “why are you crying?” What kind of idiot question is that? “The so-and-so’s who murdered Him now have stolen His body and I don’t know where He is.”

    Tuesday of Easter Week 2020 “They Have Taken Him” There are very few Gospel scenes more touching than the one we just heard. Mary Magdalene–from whom Jesus had cast multiple demons–owed everything to Jesus. But she had stood with His Mother, Mary, and the disciple John, and had watched the Romans ...read more

     | 2,762 views

    When the God-man is troubled, He is troubled like nobody before or after Him.

    Tuesday of Holy Week 2020 A sharp sword, a polished arrow The Church today asks us to contemplate Our Lord Jesus Christ on this Tuesday after His triumphal entry into Jerusalem. First we hear the words of Isaiah, written hundreds of years before as a contemplation of the ideal Israel, who was ...read more

  • You Still Don't Get It

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 28, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,391 views

    Do we listen to the voice of God in our hearts telling us what we must do in order to free up His grace?

    Tuesday of the 5th Week of Lent 2020 You Still Don’t Get It When I was growing up and first encountering the Bible stories, the years after the departure from Egypt were characterized as “forty years they wandered in the desert.” So I pictured the Hebrew people churning around the Sinai peninsula ...read more

  • Nobody Ever Spoke Like This Man Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 27, 2020
     | 2,924 views

    The viral pandemic is forcing us back into our homes, our families, so that we can give voice and action to our repentance.

    Saturday of the Fourth Week in Lent 2020 “No Man Ever Spoke Like This Man” As I write these lines, our nation and the world is continuing in the grip of a health crisis that is unparalleled since the pandemic of 1918 and the year following, which was a flu that killed 50 million human beings ...read more

  • The Water And The Temple Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 21, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,584 views

    Those are the healing waters that can always save those who are soaked with them, precisely because this sacrament is the visible sign of the power of Christ, who is the real minister of every baptism.

    Tuesday of the 4th week of Lent 2020 Water I always recommend to those who can make pilgrimage that they take a week or more with a Christian guide in the Holy Land–Israel and Jordan–so that they can understand the people and places we read about in the Sacred Scriptures. The Christians living in ...read more

  • Three Young Men, Trust, Epidemics And The Saints Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 13, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,857 views

    It is truly time to emulate Our Lord and the great saints, who trusted in God and helped others who were in need or in peril.

    Tuesday of the 3rd Week in Lent 2020 St. Patrick and Three Young Men and Trust When you pick up a King James Bible and read this story from the Book of Daniel, of the trust three young prophet-exiles had in their God, and their deliverance from the fiery furnace, you read this passage: “Therefore ...read more

  • Witnessing To The Culture Of Death Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 7, 2020
     | 1,919 views

    We must work and pray, as St. Benedict told us to do. Work for the spread of the kingdom in our families and communities, and vote as a Christian must, for godly men and women who will resist the culture of death and legislate for life, peace, and goodness.

    Tuesday of the 2nd Week in Lent 2020 For our first reading today, I have chosen to begin earlier in the first chapter of Isaiah than the Lectionary suggests, and to add the verses the Lectionary omits. The Lenten readings take a great deal of the very long prophecies of Isaiah, but they omit ...read more

  • The Way Out Of The Hole We're In Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 29, 2020
     | 3,082 views

    Here we are healed of sin, nourished with the Eucharist, anointed for service and mission, and ultimately commended into the hands of the Father when we finish our earthly journey.

    Tuesday of the First Week in Lent 2020 The Way Out of the Hole We’re In As we continue in this first week our Lenten journey, our informal pre-Easter retreat, it’s good to consider just where we are, or would be, without Jesus Christ and His Church. We start out our life in a kind of hole, or ...read more

  • Mardi Gras Or Shrove Tuesday?

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 22, 2020
     | 1,323 views

    The season we begin tomorrow is a time to draw near to God so that He can draw near to us.

    Tuesday of the 7th Week in Course Mardi Gras Passions. We don’t hear much about that plural noun lately. Oh, the word “passion” turns up in seamy novels and videos, I suppose. And those of us for whom the Catholic religion, the word “passion” stirs up thoughts of the torture Jesus had to undergo ...read more

  • You Just Don't Get It, Do You? Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 15, 2020
     | 3,269 views

    They are so hungry that they miss the point Jesus is trying to make. Will we miss that point, too?

    Tuesday of the 6th Week in Course 2020 “You Just Don’t Get It” I’ve been a teacher pretty much all my career, at all levels except elementary school. So I can empathize with St. James in his epistle, and–although it’s weird to say it–with Jesus as He tries to help His disciples understand the ...read more

  • Trust Not In Princes Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 8, 2020
     | 2,430 views

    The Scriptures enjoin us not to trust in princes, because God’s word is very clear about human minds and wills. We are weak, and so we sin.

    Tuesday of 5th Week in Course 2020 Our Lady of Lourdes This is a grand tableau from the First Book of Kings: Solomon has spent years constructing the Temple of the Lord, and here he is dedicating it to the worship of the God of Israel. But even he knew that the God who had called Moses, used signs ...read more

     | 5,073 views

    Engage all your senses as you walk with Jesus and His other disciples into the town of Capernaum by the big lake.

    Tuesday of the 4th Week in Course 2020 Tal'itha cu'mi If, with Ignatius of Loyola, we meditate for a while on the Scripture we hear every day proclaimed at Mass, and do so with our well-honed imaginations fully awake, we see so much more than the words first suggest. It is particularly ...read more
