    Thanksgiving Day 2018 “Now thank we all our God, with heart and hands and voices, who wondrous things as done, in whom His world rejoices.” These words from the great hymn written in German by the Protestant pastor Martin Rinkart, and translated into English by the Protestant Catherine Winkworth, ...read more

     | 2,140 views

    We should look to Albert the Great for inspiration for scientists to work within the divine plan for the real good of humans.

    Thursday of the 32nd Week in Course 2018 St. Albert the Great When is the kingdom of God coming? I’ve always been impressed by the number of Protestant preachers who speculate that we are literally in the last days, that Jesus is coming within the next year, or two years, or five years. It’s like ...read more

    God does not want anyone to perish. So He showers His blessings, His graces on all the field, and the merits of His Son enable us to become pure wheat, either in this life or after it .

    25th Sunday after Pentecost 2018 “And the servants of the householder came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field?

    Jesus entered the boat; Jesus is the master of the Church. The disciples–that’s you and I–we follow Him into the boat.

    24th Sunday after Pentecost 2018 “At that time, Jesus entered into the boat, and His disciples followed Him.” In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti, Amen.

  • Only When Connected To Our Lord Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 4, 2018
     | 2,572 views

    In a real sense, St. Paul was the sheep that was lost, and Jesus left the heavens to seek him out and find him and turn him toward the truth.

    Thursday of 31st Week in Course At some point in the life of every Catholic theologian, like Saint Paul there comes a time of high clarity. St. Paul’s moment was a time when he realized that all his elevated Jewish theology was just a waste of time. In fact, in the light of Christ’s suffering and ...read more

  • All The Saints, Known And Unknown Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 27, 2018
     | 2,515 views

    Saint John tells us we can’t be certain what we’ll be then, but we will be like Our Lord because our eyes will be so mature that we will see Him as He really is. And what a sight that will be!

    All Saints’ Day 2018 The divine intent from the beginning was to make human beings in the image and likeness of God, but with a difference. We were meant to be as pure, selfless, single-minded, giving and loving as the Trinity, but to be that incarnation of God in a material world. Satan, whose ...read more

  • The Holy Spirit Of Witness And Division Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 21, 2018
     | 3,458 views

    The Spirit empowers, but the Spirit also divides. Because the Holy Spirit causes us to change our lives, and to summon our family and friends to the Christian way of life, conflict often emerges in relationships.

    Thursday of the 29th Week in Course 2018 The phrase, “fire that Our Lord came to cast down upon the earth” is reminiscent of an encounter Jesus had in his earthly life with James and John, sons of Zebedee. Some town had refused hospitality to Jesus and the disciples, so those two asked Jesus for ...read more

     | 4,358 views

    Luke’s writings show the mercy and compassion of Jesus.

    Feast of St. Luke 2018 St. Paul had a long and fruitful ministry. He is certainly one of the patron saints of the new evangelization, but St. Luke, our day’s patron, is not far behind.

    Suppose you knew that you would face your God sometime tonight. What would you spend your day doing? We would not waste one second of that precious time.

    Twenty-Eighth Sunday in Course 2018 Twenty four hours to Live Let me invite you all to do what we in science call a “thought experiment” for a while. Suppose, through a vision or a medical diagnosis you attained a 99% certainty that you will not wake up tomorrow morning. Suppose you knew that you ...read more

  • The Conditional Forgiveness Of God Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 29, 2018
     | 2,457 views

    The point is this–God will forgive any sin, any offense. Nothing will make Him so angry as not to forgive. Unless. Unless we come to that confession, to that communion, with an unforgiving heart.

    Twenty-First Sunday After Pentecost Extraordinary Form “So also shall my heavenly Father do to you, if you do not forgive–every one of you–forgive your brother from the heart.” From the Holy Gospel according to St. Matthew. In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti, Amen. There are very few ...read more

  • Saint Francis For The Twenty-First Century Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 29, 2018
     | 3,563 views

    St. Francis stands out in the thirteenth century, perhaps the last great Catholic century, and a recovery of his spirit would be a good start toward converting the culture of this twenty-first century.

    October 4, 2018 St. Francis of Assisi The saint we celebrate today is probably the most famous one of the second Christian millennium, and I suspect also the one we need most to emulate today. Our modern culture is steeped in materialism and consumerism. I can prove that by asking you to ...read more

    Thursday of the 24th Week in Course 2018 St. Vincent de Paul The book we call Ecclesiastes is often referred to as Qoheleth, for the Hebrew name of the author, here called “the Preacher.” The first words form one of the major themes of theology, that all things human are perishable, that even what ...read more

  • The Spiritual Gift Of Fear Of The Lord Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 15, 2018
     | 2,895 views

    We are in danger in the U.S. Church today because we have in many ways lost that attitude of reverence, humble fear, toward God.

    Eighteenth Sunday After Pentecost 2018 Extraordinary Form Every morning all Catholic clergy, and thousands of lay Catholics, pray the Benedictus prayer of Zechariah. It’s the prayer John the Baptist’s father vocalized when his voice was restored after John’s birth. There is a line in this ...read more

  • Some Christians Were Not Spoiled As We Are Series

     | 2,553 views

    “This is my last hour of life, listen to me attentively: if I have held communication with foreigners, it has been for my religion and for my God. It is for Him that I die. "

    Thursday of 24th week in Course 2018 Saints Andrew Kim Taegon, Paul Chong Hasang, and Companions Today’s readings from God’s word are a kind of missionary creed. What do all of us have in the Good News that is most needed by this culture of death, this world in pain? The world’s need is for an ...read more

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 8, 2018
     | 2,876 views

    Preaching and living a lifestyle conditioned by the precepts of the Gospel is not a particularly popular path, and may get you shunned, even exiled.

    Thursday of 23rd Week in Course 2018 St. John Chrysostom Today I am celebrating the sixteenth anniversary of the ordination of the diaconate class of 2002, and therefore my own ordination. As a preacher, it’s particularly happy to be ordained on the feast of St. John Chrysostom, who is the patron ...read more
