    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on May 11, 2019
     | 3,250 views

    Our mission, through prayer, fasting and almsgiving, and through a constant witness to the Truth of Jesus Christ, is to share the love of God with as many as we can, so that we will all be together in eternity at the awesome banquet of the Lamb of God.

    Tuesday of the 4th Week in Easter 2019 St. Matthias Today we remember the outcome of one of the great human tragedies–the treason and suicide of the apostle Judas. Now we don’t know from the magisterium what happened to Judas after he died. Did he have a moment of clarity that caused him to repent ...read more

     | 2,520 views

    So much of the time, life seems unreasonable.

    They Recognized Him Wednesday in Easter Week One of the great stories of the OT is told in the Book of Job, one of our OT saints. This wealthy but pious fellow named Job does everything right, keeping the commandments, worshiping God alone, and he is attacked by Satan, who murders his whole ...read more

  • Our Duty To Educate The Poor Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on May 4, 2019
     | 1,686 views

    Religious argument, we know, is not a bad thing. It can actually lead us forward and help us truly understand how to advance the Gospel.

    Tuesday of 3rd Week in Easter 2019 Rosa Venerini Over the years I have been in ministry, first as a layman and now as a deacon, I have known many Christians, Catholics of course, but men and women and teens with various denominations. One thing I am convinced of is that most people loathe ...read more

     | 1,739 views

    Jesus turns that human sin on its head by becoming the scapegoat, by taking all sin onto His divine shoulders and letting the Romans and Jewish leaders nail His sacred Body to the cross.

    Tuesday of 2nd Week in Easter The great literary critic and philosopher René Noël Théophile Girard, was baptized in France with names that speak of Christmas, his birthday, and the love of God. He gave us the idea that all our desires are borrowed from other people, and that all ...read more

  • Scarification And Resurrection

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 21, 2019
     | 2,954 views

    By prayer, fasting and giving we wear away our protective ego so that the grace of Christ can seep into or flood our souls and bring us to new life.

    Easter 2019 Scarification and Resurrection It’s been years since I made a loaf of bread, or cinnamon rolls, but I do remember the leavening. I recall taking warm water and adding a package of Fleishmann’s yeast and then mixing in the flour and salt and oil. You have to knead–that’s spelled with a ...read more

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 20, 2019
     | 2,259 views

    Why does our human frailty hesitate to believe that mankind will one day live with God?

    Tuesday of Easter Week 2019 In Monday of Holy Week, the Divine Office gives us a snippet from one of St. Augustine’s sermons. He asks, “Why does our human frailty hesitate to believe that mankind will one day live with God?” Christ gave us the gift of His own death, so why would He not in love ...read more

  • The Old And New Simon Peter, And The Old And New Me

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 13, 2019
     | 3,224 views

    Chosen by Our Lord as what we at St. Peter’s Church called “Prince of the Apostles,” this guy had chronic, idiopathic foot-in-mouth disease.

    Tuesday of Holy Week 2019 Peter the Apostle I think that early on when I heard this story, repeated in more than one Gospel, of Peter’s bravado and ultimate betrayal, I thought, “what a loser.” Chosen by Our Lord as what we at St. Peter’s Church called “Prince of the Apostles,” this guy had ...read more

  • Guests At The Banquet Or Devils' Food Cake

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 7, 2019
     | 3,106 views

    There is nothing in-between, no middle ground. It’s God or nothing. So let’s follow St. Paul’s advice and count everything other than the grace and peace of Christ as nothing.

    Fifth Sunday of Lent 2019 Finger of God; Finger of Priest Our Lord Jesus was constantly in conflict with the Jewish religious authorities of His day, both Pharisees and Sadducees. The Pharisees were observers of every minute law–even making lay people adhere to the regulations laid down by Moses ...read more

     | 2,363 views

    Our task in our families is to become saints ourselves and to nurture our loved ones to sainthood.

    Tuesday of 5th Week in Lent 2019 St. Waltrude A number of years ago I was privileged to teach a speech course to some deacons in training, and I asked them to speak for a few minutes on their thoughts on the realization that they were mortal–that the life they now lead would end. I think I said ...read more

  • The Plan Of The Parent Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 31, 2019
     | 2,034 views

    The plan of the Father is much better. He wants all humans to be His children, to be one with His Firstborn, Jesus Christ, worshiping in spirit and truth, in the Holy Spirit of Truth.

    Fourth Sunday of Advent 2019 The Plan of the Parent I have to admit that even though I have been writing and donating and praying for the conversion of all involved in the abortion industry ever since that black birthday in 1973 when this unspeakable act was made legal by the Supreme Court, the ...read more

  • The Witness Of Poverty

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 30, 2019
     | 3,191 views

    In an era when the contrast between the rich and the poor is most pronounced–our own time–like Francis, we are all called to follow the example of Christ in simplicity and poverty.

    Tuesday of the 4th Week in Lent 2019 San Francisco di Paola One of the dominant themes of both the OT and the NT stories is what we have to look forward to in the kingdom of God. God’s kingdom, when we are confirmed as its citizens after our life on this earth, is a reign of plenty, a restoration ...read more

  • Forgive, "or Else" Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 23, 2019
     | 3,307 views

    The culture itches to persecute the Catholic Church, and a small number of renegade priests and bishops who abused their authority have provided the excuse.

    Tuesday of the Third Week in Lent 2019 It’s often been said by commentators that the “ten thousand talents” that the Gospel servant owed his master was a sum greater than the gross national product of Palestine in New Testament times. Jesus is clearly exaggerating for effect here, something that ...read more

  • Rejoicing Over Bad Things?

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 17, 2019
     | 2,926 views

    "Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right." Who in his right mind rejoices at wrong?

    Second Sunday of Lent 2019 One of the great themes of Christian literature, both in and out of the Scriptures, is the need for each of us to make a deliberate choice between the Two Ways of living. There is the way of life and the way of death, the way of following God’s will and law, or the way ...read more

  • Karma Or Compassion?

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 16, 2019
     | 3,645 views

    If we listen to the word of God and trust in His promises, we will have a happy, fruitful life even if everything around us is going to pieces.

    Thursday of the 2nd Week in Lent 2019 Karma or Compassion? Only St. Luke among the four Gospel writers records this story of the rich man and the poor beggar, Lazarus. A superficial reading of the words may suggest to us that this is an example of the Asian principle of “karma,” where the good or ...read more

  • Pain And Growth

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 9, 2019
     | 2,480 views

    Is pain merely weakness leaving our body?

    First Sunday of Lent 2019 I have to admit that whenever I hear the words, “He ate nothing during forty days [of combat with Satan and prayer] and at the end of them He was hungry,” I am tempted to doubt. I don’t doubt that Jesus fasted and prayed, like Moses, for over a month. But I have trouble ...read more
