    Third Sunday In Ordinary Time, Year C: Using Your Top Three

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Dec 30, 2024
     | 423 views

    Our “why” will be Biblical, related to your vocation and, within that, your specific top three charisms.

    Today is the 3rd Sunday of Ordinary Time, now dedicated each year to promoting a love and knowledge of Scripture, it’s like our new annual “Bible Sunday” for Catholics. We hear in the three-year cycle of Sunday Mass readings, plus the two-year cycle of daily Mass readings: 13.5 percent of the Old ...read more

    Strong Societies, Strong Churches, Built On Strong Families

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 26, 2024
     | 206 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. The human family torn apart by sin was being reconstituted in faith and love. There’s a critical moment in Milton’s Paradise ...read more

    The Son Of Thunder Grows Up

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 24, 2024
     | 78 views

    The Thunder boys came to Jesus and asked if they could call down fire from heaven

    Feast of St. John the Evangelist 2024 No matter what our age as disciples of Jesus may be, we all have some challenges, some questions we need to answer. Let’s take them starting with the one who is questioning: “who am I?” Then “who is God?” and “what does God want of me?” From there we ask ...read more

    Second Sunday In Ordinary Time, Year C: Cana

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Dec 23, 2024
     | 665 views

    Are we holding up OUR part of the covenant of our vocations?

    Jesus walks into a bar. “Just 12 waters, please,” while winking at his disciples. I saw this post on social media, DOES ANYONE KNOW WHICH PAGE OF THE BIBLE EXPLAINS HOW TO TURN WATER INTO WINE? I AM JUST ASKING FOR FRIEND. “The Church attaches great importance to Jesus’ presence at the wedding ...read more

    The Epiphany Of The Lord- Be A Star

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Dec 19, 2024
     | 298 views

    “You will see his glory within you… shone anew upon the eyes of our mind!”

    The idea of "be a star" during Epiphany is a way to reflect on the story of the Magi, or the three wise men, following a star to find baby Jesus. To be a star is not the same thing as being called a star. E.g., The leader of the patriots in the second Jewish War, A.D. 130-135, Bar Kosba, ...read more

    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. He constantly challenged the leaders and people of Israel to return to the LORD, their God, and give up the sordid rites of the Canaanite peoples who inhabited the Holy Land ...read more

    Shut Up And Believe The Good News, Zechariah

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 15, 2024
     | 199 views

    Gabriel: “I AM GABRIEL, and I bring good news. But you didn’t believe the gospel, so you’ll get to shut your mouth until the prophecy comes true.”

    Fourth Sunday of Advent 2024 Today’s Gospel just leaps out at us in the congregation if we haven’t any Old Testament background or have failed to read the earlier part of Luke’s Gospel. Zechariah and Elizabeth, up in the hill country of Judea, are childless, elderly members of a priestly clan. We ...read more

    The Baptism Of The Lord: Baptismal Regeneration

    Be careful of those who scorn water.

    The story of the little fish swimming towards its mother, and in a panic says, “Mama, Mama, what’s water? I gotta find water or I’ll die!” "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God,” John 3:5 says. The water refers to water ...read more

    Triumph In Christ Despite Tragedies

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 11, 2024
     | 214 views

    John felt God’s authority inside his heart to proclaim that the Messiah was in the midst of His people, and why he was able without fear to tell people how to act, how to get ready for Christ’s coming.

    Third Sunday of Advent 2024 Just imagine fifty-six years. If you are as old as I am, subtract fifty-six years from your age and reflect on what your life was like in that year. You’ll see a huge difference in your life, in the culture, in the Church, in a little over a half-century. Now think of ...read more

    How We Can Be Always Happy

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 9, 2024
     | 131 views

    How can you be happy in this life AND in the life to come? That's the question of the ages.

    Friday of the 2nd week in Advent 2024 When we try to learn God’s will from the daily readings given us by the Holy Spirit, it can be very useful to start with the Psalmist’s words. Today we are given psalm 1, which is chosen for that prominent position because it sums up everything in that ...read more

    Peace Of Righteousness

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 4, 2024
     | 212 views

    When the people turn to God in praise and right living, in true justice, they will know the fullness of peace, and God will be in their midst to console and empower them.

    Second Sunday of Advent 2024 The prophet Baruch was assistant to the prophet Jeremiah. His mentor is associated mostly with the final days of the Kingdom of Judah, and his prophecies were generally so dire that we now call such language a “jeremiad.” Wow. Imagine several hundred years from now ...read more

    Upside Down--The Drama Of The Church Of God

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 2, 2024
     | 140 views

    The world turned upside down. Over and over again did this drama repeat.

    Friday of the First Week of Advent 2024 G. K. Chesterton was fond of writing how history seems to turn the plans of humans upside down and backwards. He tells the story of Constantine summoning the bishops to judge the teachings of Arius, in the year 325. The priest Arius taught that Jesus is Son ...read more

    Feast Of The Holy Family Of Jesus, Mary And Joseph, Year C

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Dec 2, 2024
     | 459 views

    The Basilica of the Holy Family in Barcelona, is of a fantastical design: God’s perfect design is the nuclear family: A father, a mother, and children, which maybe even includes extended family like a grandparent.

    There was a very poorly dressed woman and her young daughter looking into one of the beautiful department store display windows in the festive downtown area of a large city during Christmas time. They were looking at a manger scene, but here was the Virgin Mary dressed in rich diamonds and other ...read more

    Living Like Christ Or Like Scrooge?

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 26, 2024
     | 320 views

    Like last Sunday, today’s pericope looks at statements made by Jesus not long before His arrest and passion, as Christ focuses our attention on the “last days.”

    First Sunday of Advent 2024 One of the most obvious signs that our Western culture was at a crisis point, and sliding or crashing in the wrong direction happened about forty years ago when the Advent season, which begins this Sunday, was turned into a pre-Christmas season. As time passed, it ...read more

    Rescued By The Lamb, The Good Guys Win.

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 24, 2024
     | 338 views

    All the incidental stuff like Gog and Magog and the Beast and the Great Whore of Babylon will not matter then, because they will have been among those rolled up in the great Rug of Evil and thrown into the flaming pit.

    Friday of the 34th Week in Course 2024 Probably a few metric tons of ink have been spilled over the generations as scholas and preachers tried to make sense of the Revelations of St. John. But a few things in this murky and often confusing part of God’s Word come through to us quite clearly. The ...read more
