  • Now Thank We All Our God

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 24, 2013
     | 2,978 views

    How do we treat Thanksgiving when the culture is trying to drive God out of that feast?

    Thanksgiving Day 2013 Now Thank We All Our God “And now bless the God of all, who in every way does great things; who exalts our days from birth, and deals with us according to his mercy.” These words, from the wisdom of Jesus ben Sira, or Sirach, inspired the hymn “Now Thank We ...read more

  • Sing To The Lord And Bless His Name

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 23, 2013
     | 3,260 views

    How does our singing in Church advance our mission and witness?

    Feast of St. Cecilia 2013 “Sing to the Lord, bless his name; tell of his salvation from day to day.” Over and over, we read in the psalms, that our response to the saving power of God is to sing to Him. St. Augustine wrote that to sing praise to God is to pray twice. That’s so ...read more

  • This Trustworthy Truth Of God Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 16, 2013
     | 2,480 views

    Mary's total dedication to God is paralleled in our lives because of the faithful presence of God in both.

    Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary 2013 Lumen Fidei The feast of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, our Memorial today, is not attested in the Scriptures, where Mary is first acknowledged at the Annunciation by Gabriel. Nor is it in any of the authentic Church Fathers. The ...read more

  • You Will Be Hated By All; Not A Hair On Your Head Will Perish

    With the Church under attack, what must we do?

    33rd Sunday in Course 2013 You Will be Hated by All But Not a Hair of Your Head Will Perish It was a cool November morning and the Catholics of San Antonio were riding high. Our first Catholic president, who had a year ago faced down the mighty Soviet empire over ballistic missiles in Cuba, was ...read more

  • Like Lightning Lighting Up The Sky Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 9, 2013
     | 2,786 views

    In the Christian life, with suffering, God gives us wordless and imageless insights that strengthen and confirm faith.

    Thursday of 32nd Week in Course Lumen Fidei To get a clearer understanding of today’s Gospel, we have to take it in context. First, Jesus is addressing the Pharisees, who wanted to know when the kingdom of God would come. Remember that this sect–really a kind of political party as ...read more

  • The Two Meanings Of "End"

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 3, 2013
     | 1,917 views

    There are two meanings to "end," and as we reach the conclusion of a liturgical year, we must plan for both.

    One of the legends circulating that purports to prove the superiority of the new liturgical calendar and new lectionary is that in the Extraordinary Form, we hear Scripture readings that really belong to the beginning of the year, not the end. Let’s be honest. We aren’t talking about ...read more

  • Jesus, Not Much Of A Businessman Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 2, 2013
     | 3,218 views

    The most important thing is to save the sheep.

    Thursday of the 31st Week in Course Lumen Fidei Jesus would have made a very poor businessman. Business owners must think in terms of profit and loss. It is true that they have to treat their employees and customers humanely, or they’ll lose both. That’s a matter of good business. ...read more

  • Christian Faith Is Faith In The Incarnation And Resurrection. Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 26, 2013
     | 2,503 views

    Christian faith is faith in the incarnation of the Word and his bodily resurrection.

    Thursday of 30th Week in Course Lumen Fidei As we consider the gift of faith, this gift of seeing far through new eyes, we are challenged to see beyond the sufferings of the present. St. Paul, in this astonishing chapter 8 of the Letter to the Romans, pictures us in a courtroom, before God, the ...read more

  • Seeing Things As Jesus Sees Them Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 19, 2013
     | 3,959 views

    Jesus came to free us from the slavery to sin through faith, through faith in what He taught, and through faith in Him as a person.

    Thursday of 29th Week in Course Lumen Fidei Jesus was a very serious Savior. If you were a government official and happened upon a prison where several thousands of persons were enslaved under abysmal conditions, you’d want to free them. Now before Christ, we were slaves of sin. I know ...read more

  • The Clearest Proof Of The Reliability Of Christ's Love Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 12, 2013
     | 3,158 views

    The grace of God is His gift to all who have fallen short, and it comes through the passion of Christ.

    Did the scribes and Pharisees, the purveyors of the Law of Moses, actually realize what they were doing? It seems like the early Church believed that these super-Jews had all the proof they needed that Jesus is the Christ, but rejected Him anyway. Teaching with authority, miracles of healing, ...read more

  • The Request God Never Turns Down Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,103 views

    We don't have to look at Jesus's promise "Seek and you shall find" like a disappointed kid at Christmas, but with the light of faith. There's at least one prayer we always get a "yes" to.

    Thursday of 27th Week in Course Lumen Fidei Today’s Gospel is written for adults, but the problem is that even in old age we tend to read it like an eight-year-old waiting for Christmas. We read “Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to ...read more

  • Pray To The Lord Of The Harvest Of Faith Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 28, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,295 views

    In faith we must weep, like the people of Israel, when we hear the Law of God; there are three reasons to do so.

    Thursday of the 26th week in Course 2013 Pray the Lord of the Harvest of Faith And he said to them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; pray therefore the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest. 3 Go your way; behold, I send you out as lambs in the midst of ...read more

  • Faith, The Opposite Of Idolatry Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 20, 2013
     | 5,229 views

    Herod Antipas is a good example of one who is faithless, who worshiped an idol tied up with himself; true faith is a "break with all idols to turn to a living God in a personal encounter."

    Thursday of 25th Week in Course Lumen Fidei Luke 9: 7 - 9 7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done, and he was perplexed, because it was said by some that John had been raised from the dead, 8 by some that Eli'jah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen. 9 ...read more

  • Woman, Your Faith Has Saved You Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 13, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,330 views

    We can learn much about faith by contrasting the behavior of the woman with the ointment and the Pharisee who invited Jesus to dinner.

    What did faith do to save this woman? Why did she go in peace? We can learn much by contrasting her behavior, as Jesus did, with that of the Pharisee. First, she recognized her sin, whatever it was. And, second she did not discount the sin; she took responsibility for it. The Pharisee did not ...read more

  • Faith, Anchored In The Promise To Abraham Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 7, 2013
     | 2,703 views

    Mary anchored her faith in the promise God made to Abraham; faith is a response to a "Thou" who calls us by name.

    Holy Name of Mary 2012 Lumen Fidei In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, 27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. 28 And he came to her and said, "Hail, full of grace, the ...read more
