    No Mediocrity Allowed Here

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 19, 2025
     | 100 views

    Did the Son of God, Jesus Christ, Lord and God and Creator of the Universe, put aside His transcendent glory and empty Himself, coming down all the way to assume our weak human nature so that we could “get by”?

    Seventh Sunday in Course 2025 Unless you have a pretty strong grounding in what we used to call “Bible History,” today’s first reading could leave you a little blindsided, that is until you heard the Gospel. King Saul, first king of the Israelite kingdom, had taken three thousand of his best ...read more

    Making A Name For Ourselves Fails The Test Of Joy

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 17, 2025
     | 33 views

    We have a tendency to believe our own publicity, and feel best about ourselves when we own the deeds to lots of stuff.

    Friday of the Sixth Week in Course 2025 “Let’s make a name for ourselves” hints that the first reading, from Genesis, is really talking about the results of human pride. Migrating people from the far reaches of Asia are imagined coming together in the area between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. ...read more

    Black And White Morality--Absolutely!

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 12, 2025
     | 216 views

    Jeremiah knew what God wanted for them, but they continually rebelled.

    Sixth Sunday in Course 2025 It’s likely that if you were educated, as I was, mostly in the 1960s or later, you might have bristled a bit at today’s Scripture passages. They have moral language that is very much black-and-white. If you trust in God and follow His way, you’ll bear much fruit; if you ...read more

    The Mission Transcends Mere Geography

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 9, 2025
     | 37 views

    The fame of Jesus spread far from Capernaum and His words and healing were affecting many thousands, preparing both Jew and Gentile for the expansion of the Church after Pentecost .

    Friday of the Fifth Week in Course 2025 Most modern Christians in North America, I believe, are unfamiliar with first-century geography, even of the Holy Land. I think if I use a midwestern U.S. parable, it might be easier to envision than what St. Mark records in his Gospel here. Let’s try ...read more

    Sinful But Called

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 5, 2025
     | 241 views

    The power of God’s word, spoken to Peter and the others by the very Word of God, Son of the Father, was enough to kick in the adrenaline and motivate the fishermen to fish longer in the worst time of day in the part of the lake with the worst prospects.

    Fifth Sunday in Course 2025 The first thing that strikes me as I read today’s Gospel is that Peter and his fishing crew had been working all night and then had cleaned their nets. These professionals had just worked at least ten hours and were ready to go home. Jesus came along with hundreds of ...read more

    Principles Of Christian Leadership And Discipleship

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 4, 2025
     | 77 views

    Herod Antipas is pictured as exactly opposite of Jesus in leadership.

    Friday of the Fourth Week in Course 2025 Today’s Gospel is a reminder to us of the many pitfalls of having power, money, and an inflated ego. There are several Herods in the NT. All of them were suffragans of Rome, who granted them rights to rule others, take bribes and taxes, and surround ...read more

    Homecoming To The Temple

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 30, 2025
     | 109 views

    Joseph and Mary brought their newborn Jesus into the Temple for a solemn ceremony.

    Homecoming Today’s feast is a commemoration of the wonderful moment when Jesus, the Messiah and Son of God, comes home to the Temple at Jerusalem. Homecoming is a wonderful moment in life. I recall decades ago, flying into our South Texas airport after a one-week training session, and my whole ...read more

    We Know Not How But We Work Hard Anyway

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 28, 2025
     | 44 views

    Jesus is describing the Kingdom of God, which on earth is the Church He deputized to continue His mission to the world.

    Friday of the Third Week in Course 2025 Mark’s Gospel today gives us a little story that is found in no other place in the NT. Like so many of the Jesus stories, it is about agriculture. Jesus is describing the Kingdom of God, which on earth is the Church He deputized to continue His mission to ...read more

    Why Did Jesus Have To Return To Heaven?

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 28, 2025
     | 74 views

    Couldn’t Jesus have stayed on earth and God would have done all that?

    Ascension Thoughts 2025 Why did Jesus ascend into heaven? Wouldn’t it be better if He remained here on earth. And, besides, Matthew records that He said “Behold, I am with you always, even until the end of days.” We know that when the Church celebrates the Ascension, forty days after Easter, we ...read more

    Treating The "unpresentable" With Special Care

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 23, 2025
     | 144 views

    Losing that witness leaves a community injured, even emotionally and socially bankrupt.

    Third Sunday in Course 2025 Hundreds, perhaps thousands of people come into our lives over the seventy or eighty years of an average American lifetime. If we look at St. Paul’s words written almost two thousand years ago, describing an early Christian assembly, we can see images of people we have ...read more

    When Righteousness And Peace Embrace

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 21, 2025
     | 50 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

    A Wedding Feast--Sign Of The New Covenant Of Grace

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 15, 2025
     | 205 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

    Experiencing The Rest Of God

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 14, 2025
     | 75 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. It begins “come ring out our joy to the Lord; hail the Rock who saves us. Let us come before Him giving thanks; with songs let ...read more

    No Screaming, Lots Of Listening

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 8, 2025
     | 114 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
     | 103 views

    Jesus, in His compassion for us mentally and spiritually wounded humans, used His Sacred Body in His ministry, and used material things in His contact with men and women.

    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
