  • The Love Of The Trinity Shown In The Compassion Of Christ Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 4, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,736 views

    In our lives, love takes form as self-giving. In this, we imitate Our Lord, who humbled Himself and gave Himself for our salvation.

    Tuesday after the Epiphany 2020 In these four short verses penned two thousand years ago by St. John, there are nine repetitions of some form of the noun or verb “to love.” What is love? St. Thomas Aquinas tells us that Love is the proper name of the Holy Spirit. Just as the Logos, the Son who is ...read more

  • Party On! Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 31, 2019
     | 2,363 views

    We all know that there were parties last evening, some that lasted well into the morning hours. But I venture to say that these parties were not celebrations of religious faith, such as the ones implied by today’s Scriptures.

    Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God Party On! Today’s Scriptures are so brief that if our minds are not focused, we might not remember any of them. I’ve wondered if that was an act of mercy on the part of those who back in the 1960's put together the three-year cycle of readings, and saw New ...read more

  • Last Or First? Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 28, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,129 views

    At the beginning of the new year and decade we must ask ourselves if there is any hint of anti-Christ in our hearts.

    New Year’s Eve 2019 Last or First? Our holy Scripture today is taken from the apostle John. The Gospel teaches about the beginning, and the letter tells us about the end. And both beginning and end must be centered on Our Lord Jesus Christ. In fact, everything we do in the new year, the new decade ...read more

  • Glory To God In The Highest Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 21, 2019
     | 1,870 views

    Silence to praise. That’s not a habit this world often engages in.

    Christmas Eve 2019 Glory to God in the Highest The words to the hymn have been silent now for near four weeks, but as in the profound stillness of that first Christmas Eve, the very Word of God, the Son of God was made manifest, so the loud anthem will resound this evening from every tongue: ...read more

  • Our Confession Of Sin Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 14, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,956 views

    Like Abraham, Jacob and David, and like all of our individual ancestors, we fall short of the mark too often–committing venial sins of omission and commission, and perhaps even total turn-aways from God’s plan.

    Tuesday of the 3rd Week in Advent 2019 Our Confession of Sin I have to admit that this is one of my favorite weekday Masses in the whole Lectionary, because we hear the genealogy of Our Lord Jesus. These old Hebrew names don’t necessarily roll off the tongue, but the list is important, because ...read more

  • Reflections On The Introit Sign Of The Cross Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 8, 2019
     | 1,700 views

    Let the cross embrace us.

    Tuesday of the 2nd Week in Advent 2019 The Sign of the Cross Those of us that are daily immersed in the Word of God, specifically in the Sacred Scriptures, sometimes forget that what we read each day are revolutionary words. They are revolutionary words intimately associated with the first ...read more

  • Rejoicing In The Holy Spirit--Our Names Are Written In Heaven Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,515 views

    We should also rejoice, always. How do you do that when things are going wrong? Trust in God and make an act of thanksgiving for how Our Lord will bring good out of evil.

    Tuesday of the 1st Week of Advent 2019 St. Francis Xavier To be poor is to be weak. It has ever been thus in this valley of tears. The Torah, the first five books of the OT, clearly tells judges not to consider the wealth or poverty of the people who apply for justice to their courts. But we know ...read more

  • The Four Last Things And Responding To Persecution Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 16, 2019
     | 1,504 views

    Many today, seeing Western culture disintegrate as it abandons Christian living and teaching, tell us that serious Christians need to flee the cities and establish new Christian communities of virtue.

    Tuesday of the 33rd Week in Course 2019 Saints Severinus, Exuperius, & Felician The sources tell us that Marcus Aurelius “was Roman emperor from [AD] 161 to 180 and a Stoic philosopher. He was the last of the rulers known as the Five Good Emperors, and the last emperor of the Pax Romana, an ...read more

     | 2,705 views

    Every plan, every agenda, every meeting of any Church body must be focused on the mission that Our Lord Jesus gave to us as He ascended into heaven.

    Tuesday of the 32nd Week in Course 2019 St. Josaphat Every plan, every agenda, every meeting of any Church body must be focused on the mission that Our Lord Jesus gave to us as He ascended into heaven. He wants the Gospel to be preached throughout the entire world, so that everyone on earth has ...read more

  • Our Mission To The "nones" Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 2, 2019
     | 3,038 views

    Today we are all called to reach out to what sociology calls the “nones,” people who profess no faith at all. It is critical.

    Tuesday of the 31st Week in Course 2019 St. Guido Maria Conforti One of the recurring errors embraced by lazy Christians is that all one has to do is accept Jesus Christ as your personal savior and you are saved. That statement leads to all kinds of presumptuous behavior. Neither Jesus nor St. ...read more

  • The Narcissus Who Gave Us Easter Sunday Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 26, 2019
     | 1,498 views

    Those who do not know the Resurrected Christ either have to attain some kind of Buddhist impassivity or despair of any relief.

    Tuesday of the 30th Week in Course 2019 Saint Narcissus Today St. Paul contrasts our life in this world with our hope to live eternally in the arms of the Blessed Trinity. His reflections are particularly apt for Catholics today. Because of the evil done by a small minority of priests and ...read more

     | 1,797 views

    Through Christ we have hope that we will eternally live at peace in the embrace of the Blessed Trinity.

    Tuesday of the 29th Week in Course 2019 St. John Paul II Today’s first reading from St. Paul’s letter to the Romans is the result of taking a scalpel to the original text. We read verses 12, 15, 17-19, 20 and 21, for reasons unknown to me, and the result sounds strange at best. So I had recourse ...read more

  • The Two Kinds Of Saints We Must Pray For In Our Day Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 12, 2019
     | 1,761 views

    Love and fear are the two driving forces in human nature, so we need two kinds of saints today.

    Tuesday of 28th Week in Course 2019 St. Theresa of Jesus (of Avila) There are two forces that drive the human being. On the one hand, love responds to the eternal creative and embracing Trinity, who loved us into existence and longs to divinize us. Fear, on the other hand, responds to the evil and ...read more

  • Falling In Love And Enjoying The Sacred Presence Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 5, 2019
     | 2,136 views

    The time we give in contemplative prayer or reading the Scriptures in quiet faith is a wonderful preparation for an eternity in His presence, in the arms of Jesus Christ.

    Tuesday of 26th week in course 2019 The best part The experience of falling in love is an unmatched moment of one’s life. When you see clearly “the One” and know that your whole life has been a preparation for this moment of encounter, you never forget the place and circumstances of that awesome ...read more

  • Our Face Set Toward Jerusalem Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 28, 2019
     | 2,553 views

    Athanasius taught that God became human so that humans could be made divine. But even the baptized struggle with the profound negative impacts of original sins in our physical, emotional and spiritual lives.

    Tuesday of the 26th Week in Course 2019 St. Therese of Liseaux The connection between our two Scripture readings today is stark. The prophet Zechariah, writing a couple of hundred years before Christ, is in a society dominated by Hellenist culture, polytheism and utter contempt for Biblical faith ...read more
