    Just What Law Is So Precious And Sweet?

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 23, 2024
     | 41 views

    Christ's last commandment is the one that the psalm is talking about, perfect, tasting sweet, priceless. That command is simply this. “Love one another as I have loved you.”

    Friday of the Sixteenth Week in Course What is this Law that is perfect, that refreshes the soul and gives wisdom to the simple-minded? It rejoices the heart, is true and just, and more precious than gold. It tastes sweeter than syrup, or even honey straight from the comb (and I know how tasty ...read more

    Our Families, Politics, And Unity

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 23, 2024
     | 72 views

    He told me that means the only thing they never discuss are the two most important things in life.

    Clergy Corner for 7-28-24 Today’s brief reading from St. Paul’s letter to the Ephesians has an exhortation from the writer’s heart, right from the deepest part of his conscience, mind and will. He calls himself “prisoner for the Lord,” so we think immediately of the end of his life, when he was ...read more

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jul 20, 2024
     | 80 views

    These disciples refused to sign-on to Jesus’ Eucharistic teaching that Eucharist not a symbol.

    Marriott's Fairfield Inn's require guests at certain times of the year to sign No Party Agreements. The actual document reads as follows: We understand that hotels are the ideal place to celebrate new adventures; however, problems occur when the celebration becomes a disturbance to our ...read more

    Jeremiah, Jesus And Ourselves, Shepherding The Flock

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 16, 2024
     | 183 views

    They were united in peace, because the true peace is Jesus, whose sacrifice on the cross is the event that attracts all humans in need of rescue from sin.

    Sixteenth Sunday in Course 2024 If you know your biblical history, it’s pretty easy to understand why the prophet Jeremiah is often portrayed in art as super-sad. He was active in his prophetic mission during a time that was economically prosperous, at least for the Jewish rich, but spiritually ...read more

    Politicians Will Not Save Us

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 15, 2024
     | 190 views

    Every few years something happens to remind us we should never put our trust in princes, or politicians, but only in our Lord, Jesus Christ.

    Friday of the fifteenth week in course 2024 (7/19) It’s not possible for me to read the Scriptures today and ignore what happened just a week ago in Pennsylvania. I do believe that God, perhaps through angelic suggestion, arranged things so that the bullet missed the candidate’s head by a few ...read more

    Twentieth Sunday In Ordinary Time, Year B: Eucharistic Fix

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jul 14, 2024
     | 95 views

    Transformation by an alternative Eucharistic consciousness in Jesus Christ.

    We just heard John 6:52, “The Jews quarreled among themselves, saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?" That reminds of me two men who lived in a small town who got into a terrible dispute that they could not resolve. So, they decided to talk to the wisest man in town. The ...read more

    Living United For The Praise Of God's Glory

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 10, 2024
     | 130 views

    There is something both uplifting and liberating when we simply praise God for who He is, and for His love for us.

    Fifteenth Sunday in Course 2024 Ask yourself whether these words of the psalmist remind you of your daily life in the United States: “his salvation is at hand for those who fear him, that glory may dwell in our land. Steadfast love and faithfulness will meet; righteousness and peace will kiss each ...read more

    Thorns And Roses And Eternal Happiness

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 10, 2024
     | 141 views

    Whenever we realize that all is not roses, that thorns come along with every life, we have to deal with our duty toward God.

    Friday of the Fourteenth Sunday in course 2024 At some point in every person’s life, there comes a realization that all is not well with that life. It may have to do with a really terrible family argument or tragedy. Sometimes it waits around until sexual awakening, and the confusing feelings that ...read more

     | 165 views

    [Bless those] who…know the depths of [the] sacrament.

    Elijah went a day's journey into the desert, until he came to a broom tree and sat beneath it. He was the last remaining Prophet of the true religion left. He had just stood his ground against four-hundred pagan prophets of the fertility god Baal. Today’s pagan fertility god is In-Vitro ...read more

    Constantly Repenting To Follow Christ

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 4, 2024
     | 109 views

    Do those things well and the government will be respected. Do them badly and the people get angry and one way or another dismantle that government.

    Friday of the Fourteenth Week in Course 2024 There are several basic and critical functions of any government, once a region of the world has established one. Israel–the northern Kingdom after the breakup of David’s kingdom after the terrible mess Solomon left–was such an area. A successful ...read more

    Chosen In Christ--But For What?

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 2, 2024
     | 247 views

    The choice is tied up with the Father’s decision to adopt us as sons and daughters, siblings by adoption with His only-begotten Son. For what purpose? We are so favored so that we might praise the glory of God’s grace granted us through the beloved Son, His life, passion, death and Resurrection.

    Fifteenth Sunday in Course 2024 St. Paul’s Letter to the Ephesians anchors our Scriptures today. Paul is acting as a prophet/teacher for the Church at Ephesus but the universal feel of this letter suggests to us that it’s more like an encyclical or circular letter for all of the churches in that ...read more

    Prophets In Our Lives

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 2, 2024
     | 202 views

    A true friend might try to tell me the truth, but I reject his words or her suggestions. Our friend is acting prophetically toward us. That is an act of love, real love.

    Fourteenth Sunday in Course 2024 “Heed or resist, you rebels, you will know a prophet has been among you!” Today’s words from Ezekiel were not just for the Jewish leaders who had abandoned true worship of the One God, the Lord, for the obscene worship ceremonies centered around Baal and Astarte. ...read more

    Do Not Fear; Only Believe

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 27, 2024
     | 194 views

    God made man and woman in His image, with the plan that they would act and become more and more good, more and more like Himself. That was the divine order.

    Thirteenth Sunday in Course 2024 In his great Summa Theologiae, St Thomas Aquinas wrote “the order of the Divine government is wholly directed to good. . .no one acts intending evil.” (ST I Q 104 Art 1) Those words are an appropriate commentary on the words from the post-exile writing Book of ...read more

    He, and all those other witnesses, would see Jesus Christ in glory, and share an eternity of joy with Him.

    Solemnity of Peter and Paul 2024 So today we celebrate as a Church the two founders of the Church of Rome, Peter and Paul. The Scriptures, then, concern these two men, whose work to spread a local phenomenon called “The Way” all the way around the Mediterranean world. In the end, both of these men ...read more

    The Amazing Power Of Faith

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 25, 2024
     | 114 views

    God does miracles, if necessary, in order to fulfill His plan of love that creates, sustains and in His plan will divinize His people. The key is our faith.

    Saturday of the 12th Week in Course 2024 Today we hear scriptures that remind us of the importance of faith in God’s divine providence. God is love, all love for us. The love of Father and Son is so intense, so overflowing that it is a divine person, the Holy Spirit. So God does miracles, if ...read more
