    Experiencing The Rest Of God

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 14, 2025
     | 136 views

    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

    “You got it bad and that ain’t good. But there is a doctor in the house and his name is Jesus."

    Robert Coles, a Pulitzer Prize winner who taught at Harvard, believes that “the characters in novels can be persistent voices reminding us of the constant temptation toward egotism, and self-deception to which the mind is heir,’ and exhorting us to live lives that are morally inspired.”1 For ...read more

     | 155 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
     | 177 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

     | 562 views

    Individuals choose their own fate by deciding for or against Jesus

    The Presentation is also Groundhog Day. Originally it was known as Candlemas Day: if it was clear and sunny on Candlemas Day, it means "winter will have another fight." Firstborn is a title. It does not imply that there is a second child. Even if a mother only had one-child like Mary, ...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.

    Blessed Be The Holy Name Of Jesus

     | 179 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

    Strong Societies, Strong Churches, Built On Strong Families

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 26, 2024
     | 251 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 Epiphany Of The Lord- Be A Star

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Dec 19, 2024
     | 317 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

    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.
