    The Baptism Of The Lord: Baptismal Regeneration

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Dec 11, 2024
     | 188 views

    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
     | 229 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
     | 150 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
     | 236 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
     | 175 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
     | 491 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
     | 346 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
     | 381 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

    Third Sunday Of Advent, Year C: Advent Joy On Gaudete Sunday

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Nov 21, 2024
     | 975 views

    How many admonishing or warning songs or hymns can you find?

    Today the Church takes a break from the penitential color violet (often referred to as purple) which symbolizes penance particularly because Pilate dressed Jesus in a purple robe to mock his kingship. Today, however, is Gaudete Sunday and the color is Rose (often referred to as pink) as we ...read more

    We Reject Plan A And God Effects Plan B, Which Is Sweeter

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 19, 2024
     | 133 views

    The Father sent His Son as His perfect image and as the perfect human to take our death upon Himself so that He might earn for us His own eternal life.

    Friday of the 33rd Week in Course 2024 The Book we call “Revelations” is surely one of the most complex literature items ever written or read. Yet these words have within them a sure picture of the reality of God’s plan. To state that plan simply: God created humans in His own image and gave ...read more

    Yes, Jesus Is Certainly Lord And King

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 18, 2024
     | 379 views

    Our solemnity today is that of Christ the King. When we claim that Christ is the King of the Universe, we support that claim with a passage that seems to be quite crazy.

    Christ the King Once upon a time in a land not far from here, there was a choice to be made for the leader of the land. A woman was placed in contention for the prime leader of the whole nation. Her platform was not well-defined, but one thing was clear from every word out of her mouth. She had no ...read more

    Second Sunday Of Advent, Year C: A Straight, Immovable Section.

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Nov 17, 2024
     | 881 views

    That dangerous S-curve was removed in 1981 and replaced by a straight, immovable section.

    A man named John Hakel says his three-year-old daughter looked at a calendar and asked him, "Daddy, how many BE GOOD days until Christmas?"1 On the Second Sunday of Advent, we meet John the Baptist in the Desert: Luke 3:2: “the word of God came to John the son of Zechariah in the ...read more

    Unsurpassed In Distress

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 13, 2024
     | 238 views

    If we are not very careful, we could see today’s readings from God’s Word as panic-inducing warnings causing fear and hatred

    Thirty-Third Sunday in Course 2024 When I see the dread words about “a time unsurpassed in distress since nations began until that time,” there comes to mind from my own family’s history several events that were so advertised before they happened. In fact, we just completed an election cycle that ...read more

    The First Sunday Of Advent, Year C: Not Very Christmasy.

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Nov 12, 2024
     | 1,174 views

    The Church tells the Christmas Story backwards: the focus is to prepare for the coming of the Lord: at the end of the world, and when Christ comes for us at the end of our individual worlds, at death.

    Our Gospel from St. Luke today is a little unsettling. Not very Christmasy. Unseasonal thoughts about the end of the world. Yet, the word Advent from the Latin, adventus, means “coming.” The Church tells the Christmas Story backwards: the focus is to prepare for the coming of the Lord: at the end ...read more

    Jesus Christ Really Did Come In The Flesh And Is Coming Again

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 11, 2024
     | 217 views

    The clear fact is that all humans need to make themselves ready by faith and good works to be ready at any time for the general judgement, the return of Christ.

    Friday of the thirty-second week in course 2024 Let’s spend a moment with our Gospel passage to find from Church teaching what Jesus is not saying by way of St. Luke. There is a school of Christian thought that was popularized in the Left Behind series of books and flicks. It’s called ...read more
