    Prayer And The Obedience Of Faith

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 24, 2023
     | 409 views

    We have access to grace and eternal life with the Blessed Trinity precisely because of their obedience, and our imitation of them by the obedience of faith.

    Saturday of the 29th Week in Course 2023 Our Lord frequently prayed at night, perhaps because His fame spread so widely in a short time that people desperate for help surrounded Him every day (except perhaps the Sabbath). So what did He do when praying? We can learn a great deal from His ...read more

    The roles of obedient faith, steadfast hope and laboring love

    Twenty-Ninth Sunday in Course 2023 It’s pretty clear to anyone who observes humans as they go about their days just what is important to most. What is most important to us becomes clearest when we look at what takes up most of our time. If success in one’s career drives his ambition, then more ...read more

    Led Forth With Joy In The Holy Spirit

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 17, 2023
     | 539 views

    God always remembers His covenant, His unbroken promise, so in all our words and actions, as the psalmist proclaims, we are led forth with joy.

    Saturday of 28th Week in Course 2023 One of the requirements for a just law, according to the Fathers of the Church and Thomas Aquinas, is that it be promulgated to those we expect to obey it. Now there is a natural moral law that is summarized in the Ten Commandments. St. Paul talks about that ...read more

    All Believers Can Be Bearers Of The Word Of God

    Joel gives the judgement: it’s because of the sin of the Israelites themselves. Just the opposite of the faith and obedience of Mary that Jesus wants in His disciples.

    Saturday of the 27th week in Course 2023 I think this brief Gospel gives us words that either Jesus or His Mother could have proclaimed. As usual, there’s a big crowd around Jesus, perhaps hundreds clamoring for attention, for encouragement, for healing or forgiveness. A woman raises her voice and ...read more

    How To Pray In A Time Of Major Disappointment

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 5, 2023
     | 567 views

    Whether the moral weather is cloudy or fair, we temper every communication with thanksgiving.

    Twenty-seventh Sunday in Course 2023 If God had human emotions–and He certainly did in Jesus’s life–what do you think He would have been feeling in today’s psalm, reading from Isaiah, and Gospel parable? Surely the emotion would have been profound disappointment. “the vineyard of the LORD of hosts ...read more

    Satan Falls From The Sky

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 3, 2023
     | 444 views

    Jesus tells the disciples to rejoice only in their filial relationship with the Father, whose power made the miracles and exorcisms happen.

    Saturday of the 26th Week in Course 2023 The prophet Baruch is acknowledged in the book of Jeremiah as a kind of protégé of the prophet Jeremiah; in fact, he certainly acted as Jeremiah’s scribe for a time. The book that bears Baruch’s name–his Hebrew name means “blessing”–was probably ...read more

    No, It's Not Fair, But Bear With It In Christ

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 28, 2023
     | 529 views

    Forget the old song that asks “how can it be wrong when it feels so right?” That’s unmitigated baloney. Your mind must rule your emotions, not vice-versa.

    Twenty-Sixth Sunday in Course 2023 Have you or anyone you know ever said that some fine or traffic ticket or concert ticket price or something else “isn’t fair”? I suspect that a show of hands would involve almost everyone who is here today. That cry, “it’s not fair!” is one of the most common ...read more

    Astonished At The Majesty And Power Of God

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 26, 2023
     | 530 views

    Astonishment to the nth power. Predicted by the prophets and fulfilled in Jesus.

    Saturday of the 25th week in course 2023 “All were astonished at the majesty of God.” Of course, anyone who has gone a hundred miles from bright city lights into a cloudless countryside and has looked up knows this to be true. God’s creation, sustained in existence by His mighty hand, is ...read more

    Hooray! God Does Not Think Like Us!

    He is, as Torah teaches, “slow to anger.” That’s very different from most of us.

    Twenty-fifth Sunday in Course 2023 All of Scripture is useful to those whose purpose in life is to attain union with the Blessed Trinity. But there are probably a hundred verses that stand out as critical in the most important pursuit of our existence on earth. Two of these, surely, come from ...read more

    Life In God's Farm

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 19, 2023
     | 531 views

    Hopefully none of us are in those categories, but allow ourselves to be discipled by Christ in His Church, instructed in His ways.

    Saturday of 24th Week in Course One of the great frustrations in many lives is the departure of children or grandchildren or siblings from the practice of their faith. You’ve heard the stories even if you haven’t experience that yourself. A son or daughter goes off to college and then comes back ...read more

    Good Foundations, Good Trees, Good Fruit

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 13, 2023
     | 548 views

    Good trees like figs and peaches and dates produce good fruit. Good men and women produce good actions from the good treasure in their hearts.

    Saturday of the 23rd Week in Course 2023 One of the more memorable periods in our married life was the year in which we decided to build a new house in a gated community. That was, no doubt, one of the less intelligent actions we’ve taken in the past half-century, but it certainly taught us a ...read more

    True Love Practiced In Christian Community

     | 789 views

    You then image Christ in your world today, and spread His blessed healing in our crippled society.

    Twenty-third Sunday in Course 2023 If you have paid attention, over the years you have heard many times from preachers that with your Christian identity, your baptismal covenant, you were made, like Jesus, prophet, priest and king/ruler. Those are your missions in life, to pray for yourself and ...read more

    His Powerful Name; His Awesome Promise

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 5, 2023
     | 465 views

    We look forward at the end of our lives to participating in a New Creation, the very Kingdom of God and of His Christ, the Kingdom of Heaven.

    Saturday of the 22nd Week in Course 2023 The overall impression one can get from this very brief Gospel from Luke is that the Pharisees have nothing better to do on the Sabbath than find fault with how other Jews keep Shabbat. In this case, it was not a violation of Torah to eat the grain on ...read more

    Transformed By The Renewal Of Our Minds

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 30, 2023
     | 927 views

    It certainly appears, as many commentators have noted, that God is at heart a hedonist. He seems to delight in humans taking pleasure in creation.

    Twenty-Second Sunday in Course 2023 The Hebrew prophet Jeremiah knew the joys and dangers of obeying the admonition to offer one’s body as a living sacrifice to God, and of refusing to conform himself to a corrupt age, such as he had, and Jesus, and, for that matter, us in twenty-first century ...read more

    Facing The Challenge Of A Warped Society

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 29, 2023
     | 651 views

    Paul expected all of his congregations to listen to their minds and order their hearts in the right way. He told the folks at Thessalonika that they had no need for anyone to write them about loving their neighbor.

    Saturday of the 21st Week in Course 2023 Ordinarily we tend to associate St. Paul’s teachings on chastity and lust with the letters to the Corinthians. But that’s shortsighted. Remember that even as far back as Plato and Aristotle, the virtuous life was associated with men and women who would ...read more
