  • Politicians Will Not Save Us

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 15, 2024
     | 554 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.

    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

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 10, 2024
     | 376 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

    [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

     | 287 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
     | 491 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
     | 483 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

     | 523 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
     | 393 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

     | 558 views

    “Gift” is only gift if we give all the pieces.

    Percent means “parts per hundred,” from the Latin, per centum. Edward Denison, in 1060, thought of a neat phrase, “Three percent is greater than two percent by fifty percent. I have math anxiety but there are listed several ways to prove this, including that the reason that 3 is 50% bigger than 2 ...read more

    If I have done no evil, nothing but good, Lord, why am I being punished?

    Twelfth Sunday in Course 2024 Psalm 107, which we prayed as our response to Scripture today, is what we call a todah song.

     | 650 views

    King David and his successors, his offspring, were bound to the Lord in the same kind of covenant. But did they always follow their "marital" commitment to God?

    Saturday of 11th Week in Course 2024 Christian men sometimes ask questions like “why is it that it is wrong to have sex with someone other than my wife? Men have ‘needs’ that sometimes can’t be satisfied for various physical and emotional reasons by the wife. I need that release all the time.” A ...read more
