    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on May 5, 2015
     | 3,046 views

    The answer to the violence is exactly to do as Jesus did.

    The Sixth Sunday of Easter 2015 The early Church was not exactly the love-fest that some would like to imagine. First, the Jewish and Roman authorities were, at the least, suspicious of this new Jewish sect where people–especially the poor and marginalized–were being healed and ...read more

    Thursday of the 5th Week of Easter 2015 Joy of the Gospel Both of our readings today are concerned with what the Catechism calls “The Christian Life,” or the moral and virtuous way of life.

    We must follow the law of fraternal charity if we are to eliminate conflict in the Church and world.

    Thursday of the 4th Week of Easter 2015 Joy of the Gospel One of the insights that modern scholarship has given us about the life of Jesus is a deeper understanding of His relationship with the betrayer, Judas.

    Like the eunuch from Ethiopia, we must be open to God's plan in Christ.

    Thursday of 3rd Week of Easter 2015 Joy of the Gospel The Father was surely drawing this Ethiopian to Jesus, and–not by luck–deacon Phillip was on the same road as the African’s chariot. The eunuch had been in Jerusalem to pray and study, so he was either a Jew or an admirer of ...read more

    Why and What Do We Sing at our Worship?

    Fourth Sunday of Easter Ordinary Form 2015 The Song of the Shepherd I would imagine from my time in this suburban parish that there are just a few of us who have lived for any period of time on a farm or ranch with sheep and wolves and coyotes. There are three principle characteristics of sheep ...read more

    The Call To Priesthood

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,600 views

    There is a special set of charisms and sufferings for those called to pastoral office in the Church.

    Christians, especially Catholics, should never be surprised by suffering and pain. If we are surprised, it ought to be if we do not suffer pain and disappointment and grief. Jesus told us that during His absence, we would weep and lament while the secular world rejoices. St. Teresa commented ...read more

    Thursday of 2nd Week of Easter 2015 Joy of the Gospel If you have ever wondered why the Season of Easter is the longest one in the liturgical year, consider this: after the Resurrection of our Lord, we are living in an Easter season that will last until the Lord comes again!

    Thursday of Easter Octave 2015 Joy of the Gospel Today, as we still enjoy the glow of the Easter celebration–every day this week is a reprise of Easter day–the Church gives us two stories that are “aftermaths.” The first is Peter’s sermon to the Jews of Jerusalem ...read more

    Maundy Thursday And What God Wants Us To Be

     | 4,417 views

    What are the washings that God has as gift for us?

    Maundy Thursday 2015 With what are we washed, followers of Christ? The first physical sign of an impending birth is a rushing of waters from the mother’s womb, as the sac that encloses the infant ruptures. That is one reason that water is connected with birth, and why it is most fitting ...read more

    We can learn much from Saint Joseph about the ways to fight acedia and to recover the joy of evangelization.

    Feast of St. Joseph 2015 Joy of the Gospel It is humbling to lead this prayer service on a solemnity, especially that of St. Joseph.

    We Killed Him

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 9, 2015
     | 2,334 views

    Jesus went willingly to His death for our sakes, to fulfill the covenant obligation God freely took on with Abraham.

    We killed Him. O, I know the Roman procurator read the sentence, and Roman soldiers beat Jesus and crowned Him with thorns and hammered in the nails. They were what philosophers would call the “efficient cause” of Christ’s death. But Adam and Eve and David and Caligula and ...read more

    Evangelizing The Cities Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 28, 2015
     | 3,470 views

    Just as post-Resurrection Judaism created a culture that rejected the Gospel, so modern society tries to make people incapable of receiving Christ. But we must bear witness, especially in the cities.

    Thursday of the Second Week in Lent Joy of the Gospel Last Sunday we heard Jesus tell his key disciples not to disclose their vision of Him transfigured until He would rise from the dead. There was a good reason for that. The Jewish mindset, which had been formed by prophets like Jeremiah, ...read more
