    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 21, 2025
     | 25 views

    We've all seen stories of people who think they are on God's side, identify evildoers, and confront them with force. But in God's kingdom, initiated in Jesus Christ, things are otherwise.

    Friday of the Second Week in Course 2025 The Church has no definitive teaching on who wrote the Letter to the Hebrews, but we know that the Holy Spirit inspired the author, and he or she was very familiar with the liturgy of the Jewish Temple, especially the annual Day of Atonement, when the High ...read more

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 15, 2025
     | 162 views

    At Cana, both Mary and Jesus knew that if Jesus intervened to fix the problem of the empty wineskins, as He did on her request, doing such a sign reminiscent of the prophets’ predictions about God’s redemptive action would start them both down the road to Calvary.

    Second Sunday in Course 2025 Just last Sunday we heard from Isaiah that the Messiah would not cry out or mistreat the wounded. That surely describes Jesus. Today we hear from Isaiah, “For Zion's sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until her vindication ...read more

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 14, 2025
     | 49 views

    Jesus knew that the hypocrites in the crowd would accuse Him of playing God. So Our Lord asks, “what is easier for me to say, ‘your sins are forgiven’ or ‘arise and walk.’”

    Friday of the First Week in Course 2025 Psalm 29 is prescribed for all of us clerics as the first prayer of the Divine Office. It’s a very short history of the Israelites.

    No Screaming, Lots Of Listening

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 8, 2025
     | 84 views

    We might make the fiery preacher John the Baptist into our kind of Messiah. Energize by screaming at folks.

    Feast of the Baptism of Jesus 2025 Sometimes in our reflections we might think that if God just made a few changes in the way He engineered our salvation, things might have gone better. Isaiah predicts that the Messiah would come gently, not screaming His message, giving people who were broken and ...read more

    Too Big For Us To Understand

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 7, 2025
     | 66 views

    Friday after the Epiphany 2025 Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, was descended from King David, as Matthew’s Gospel tells us, but more fundamentally, He was a real human being, a real man, ultimately the offspring of Adam and Eve. Luke’s Gospel, in the third chapter, takes us all the way back ...read more

    God’s promise: that when He himself comes to Zion as Redeemer, God would make a covenant with the peoples and send His spirit into them, His words into their mouths.

    Epiphany Homily 2025 The story of God’s people, the Israelites, from Abraham to Jesus was a series of a few triumphs and many tragedies.

     | 72 views

    The two texts look contradictory, but they are not, and that itself is part of the Good News.

    Holy Name of Jesus 2025 Christian apologists are not people who are constantly making apologies, like some politicians. No, Christian apologia is defense of our faith. One of the recurring accusations made against the Christian Scriptures is that there are contradictions in the received texts. So, ...read more

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 26, 2024
     | 111 views

    Evil works for his own devious pleasure by separating family, dividing man and woman from each other and parents from their children. Jesus pulls us together into a family,

    Feast of the Holy Family 2024 Simeon and Anna knew just as the little family walked into the Temple with their pair of pigeons that something wonderful was going to happen.

    Isaiah reminds the king that the LORD is, indeed, his God.

    Homily for December 20, five days before Christmas. 2024 Isaiah had to be one of the most frustrated prophets in the OT.
