    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 19, 2019
     | 1,757 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
     | 1,723 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

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 5, 2019
     | 2,099 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

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 28, 2019
     | 2,492 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

  • Jesus Never Missed An Opportunity Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 21, 2019
     | 2,022 views

    Jesus never missed an opportunity to use daily events as a way to reach the hearts of His listeners.

    Tuesday of the 25th Week in Course This short Gospel given to us by St. Luke has parallel stories in the other Synoptics, and the amount of ink that has been spilled over the years by interpreters must run to the thousands of liters. I have had experience of anti-Catholic acquaintances throwing ...read more

  • The Encounter With Christ Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 15, 2019
     | 2,416 views

    For the mystic Francis, "there is nothing but God."

    St. Francis of Assisi, Stigmatic 2019 It was the encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ that gave us the miracle that was Saint Francis of Assisi. That personal relationship with Christ turned a hedonist into an ascetic, a wastrel into Il Poverello, a sinner into a saint. And, that, we must believe, ...read more

    The slavery to sin that we all labor under for some part of our lives is destroyed by the infinite loving power of Christ.

    Tuesday of 23rd week in course 2019 St. Agnes Tsao-Kou Ying We don’t become disciples of Jesus Christ on our own volition. We must be called to follow Christ. Some teachers have misunderstood this to mean that some are called and others are not called, and therefore are damned to perdition by ...read more

  • Lord, Bring Your Day To Dawn On Us Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 1, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,158 views

    In pretty much every age of the Church, things have looked so challenging that Catholics have prayed to God to make the Day of the Lord dawn.

    Tuesday of 22nd Week in Course 2019 St. Gregory the Great Early Christians knew themselves to be the heirs of the promise God made to the people of Israel, and they looked forward to “the day of the Lord” in which God would act to redeem His people and make every thing that is wrong to be right. ...read more

  • Trust Not In The Words "the Temple Of The Lord" Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 31, 2019
     | 701 views

    In Jeremiah’s words, there is murder, theft, fornication, perjury and the out-and-out worship of money. But we cannot forget the legal murder sanctioned by the Supreme Court.

    Jeremiah 7: 1-15 “The Temple of the Lord. . .” We are encouraged by the Church to listen to the word of the Lord, as much as possible, with ears sensitive to their original meaning. In other words, we listen as the people of Judah, the Jews, would have heard them in the days of Jeremiah. They were ...read more

  • With Patience You Will Win Your Souls--And Others' Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 24, 2019
     | 1,885 views

    Our prayers often look ineffective, but they are like dripping water on the rock of our heart and the stony hearts of other people for whom we pray.

    Tuesday of the 21st Week in Course 2019 St. Monica St. Luke tells us in the sixteenth chapter of the Acts of the Apostles that on his second missionary journey, St. Paul went to familiar communities in Anatolia–Asia Minor–and intended to evangelize all of that huge area. But the Holy Spirit, the ...read more

     | 2,338 views

    A priest was once kneeling as a congregant at Mass and noticed a little five-year-old child in the pew behind. . .

    John 6 “Cool” It’s pretty well known among Catholics that Flannery O’Connor, one of the 20th century’s greatest authors, once was invited to dinner when she was young and unknown by a more famous writer at the time, Mary McCarthy. The conversation was a bit stilted due to O’Connor’s fabled ...read more

  • All Things Possible With God Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 18, 2019
     | 3,461 views

    How many times do we need to see or hear God asking us to do some good thing for the spread of His kingdom?

    Tuesday of the 20th Week in Course 2019 St. Bernard of Clairvaux If there is a critical message in our Scriptures today, it is something we see here and there in both Old and New Testaments: “with God all things are possible.” St. Luke records the angel Gabriel saying it to Mary in a double ...read more

  • Who Is The Greatest?

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 10, 2019
     | 3,590 views

    Truly, to the extent we adopt the humble attitude of a child, we will attain greatness in the kingdom of the Father. But what does that really mean?

    Wednesday of 19th Week ink Course 2019 St. Cassian of Imola Our Lord had a special affection for children, so we’ll learn much about our own filiation from studying what Jesus said to children and did for them.

     | 2,846 views

    The words of Mary in John’s Gospel are a clear call: “do whatever Jesus tells you.” But to know what that is, we must really listen.

    Feast of the Transfiguration 2019 The visions of the prophet Daniel pertain to a community under persecution by a vicious, almost atheistic state. To encourage and console that community, Daniel pulls the curtain on what is really happening, to show the divine power and judgement on those ...read more

     | 2,961 views

    What we need in life is purification, holiness, total reliance on Divine Providence

    Tuesday of the 17th Week in Course 2019 Bl. Solanus Casey Today’s reading from the book of Exodus is taken from two consecutive chapters of the book, and so are really two related but separate situations. The first one shows the daily routine–if you can use that word about an encounter with God–of ...read more
