    Taking The Lowest Place

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 24, 2014
     | 2,423 views

    We take the lowest place to imitate the Trinity

    The term “Trinity” does not appear even once in the Sacred Scriptures. Theophilus of Antioch used it to describe God about 150 years after Christ’s death and resurrection, so it may have come into usage some time before that. What it means is that God exists as one God, one ...read more

    Herod Antipas was the embodiment of Quoheleth's maxim: nothing is new under the sun. But he had a chance to ask for living waters.

    Thursday of the 25th Week in Course 2014 Evangelium Gaudii St. Luke had an informant who had been in the court of Herod Antipas, the old rake and serial killer who had a morbid interest in ghosts, and a flirtation with Judaism and St. John, the cousin of Jesus. Luke records that he liked to ...read more

    "an evangelizer must never look like someone who has just come back from a funeral."

    Thursday of 24th Week in Course St. Joseph Cupertino Pharisees don’t come off very well in the Gospels. Pharisaic religion, though, was considered by the Jews to be the very summit of Jewish observance. After all, it applied to all its adherents the entire Law, even those clearly meant ...read more

    The Householder: Hero Or Jerk?

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 7, 2014
     | 2,497 views

    God truly is different in His reality than the gods of pagan religion, and so we too are different from their followers.

    Twenty-fifth Sunday in Course 2014 What Kind of Vineyard Owner? When you first heard the parable from today’s Gospel, perhaps when you were a child, what did you think of the householder, the vineyard owner? Was he mean, or generous? I suppose the hired hands in the original story would ...read more

    Why Should We Not Also Enter Into Joy? Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 30, 2014
     | 2,878 views

    Joy is found in following Jesus even though we know we are sinners.

    Thursday of 21st Week in Course Evangelii Gaudium The wisdom of the world that St. Paul is putting down today is foolishness to God. Listen to the advice shows. By and large, they try to help people advance in life by making more money, or gaining more popularity, or both. But these thoughts ...read more

    In St. Augustine we see the paradigm of the sinner become saint.

    Feast of St. Augustine 2014 Evangelii Gaudium As we begin our reflections on Pope Francis’s exhortation, Evangelii Gaudium, we happily find the cosmic convergence of these greetings from St. Paul to the Corinthians and the words of St. Matthew’s Gospel with the annual commemoration of ...read more

    The joy of the Gospel and the impediments to enjoying the Gospel.

    St. Pius X 2014 Evangelii Gaudium “The joy of the gospel fills the hearts and lives of all who encounter Jesus.

    The Perils Of Contentment

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 14, 2014
     | 2,567 views

    Contentment is a trap, because it keeps us from growing in ability and interior commitment.

    Recently we were viewing one of the original episodes of the Twilight Zone. A successful but elderly actor was ruminating over his long career, and his multiple marriages, and told his butler a secret. He said that in his whole life, he had only one length of time in which he had felt true ...read more

    God Is In His Holy Place

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 13, 2014
     | 2,861 views

    Jesus gives us the power and strength to grow in virtue and spread the word of His salvation.

    The Introit of today’s Holy Sacrifice affirms that “God is in His holy place, the God who makes those of one mind to dwell in a house: He will give virtue and fortitude to His people.” Where is this holy place in which God dwells? Is it the same as the place where those who are ...read more

    The final homily in the series: how God solves the REAL problem of society.

    Thursday of the 18th Week in Course Lumen Fidei A few years ago, the bishops of the U.S. issued a statement on relations with Jews that, without much thought, referred to the Mosaic covenant with the Jews as enduring forever, or some such language. My friend, E. Michael Jones, responded by ...read more

    Your Elevator Talk

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 29, 2014
     | 2,257 views

    We need to take St. Peter Chrysologus as a model for our witnessing, and be able to tell our witness to Christ and the Church in less than a minute.

    July 30 2014 St Peter Chrysologus Today’s Gospel must be specially important to the Church, because we heard it on Sunday, and Monday, and again today. Because it is so brief, we might be tempted to think otherwise, that it is forgettable. But we forget it at our peril, at the peril of our ...read more

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 20, 2014
     | 2,687 views

    If we are to effectively witness the Gospel to the world, regarding all kinds of evil, and living virtuous lives, we must do exactly as God has done to us: love the sinner and hate the sin.

    It’s amazing how similar the climate in the Holy Land is to the climate here in South Texas, especially in the summer. The figs in our back yard are ripening, and I understand that this hot month in Palestine is also the season for ripe figs. The Scriptures are right even on agricultural ...read more

    Conceiving Iniquity And Bringing Forth Wind Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 12, 2014
     | 3,400 views

    We learn from bitter experience how wrong it is to ignore God's will and do things our own way. If this leads to pain, even the pain can be a way to focus us on the right way.

    Thursday of 15th Week in Course Lumen Fidei Let’s be frank about today’s reading from Isaiah, because he is speaking about a Hebrew people who did not do God’s will. They chased after what he calls “other lords”–the Baals and Astartes. They engaged in all ...read more
