    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 23, 2023
     | 1,203 views

    Our Western world is suffused with moral and intellectual darkness; it’s like nearly everyone is blind, or walks around with an eyepatch over both eyes.

    Friday of the 11th Week in Course 2023 I had for about nine years the privilege of leading a Christian secondary school. One of the skills we taught in our writing classes was, as in many schools, how to write a resume for college applications. And, as principal, I got to read very many resumes ...read more

     | 702 views

    The rulers of this world, from Caesar down to our day, would never have killed Jesus if . . .

    Saturday of the 14th Week in Course 2023 The word “wisdom” appears over 300 times in the Sacred Scriptures. That’s one reason that my wife and I pray every morning for the wisdom to know God’s will, and the other virtues we need to carry it out. St. Paul writes the word a couple of dozen times in ...read more

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 10, 2023
     | 1,053 views

    Joel gives the judgement: it’s because of the sin of the Israelites themselves. Just the opposite of the faith and obedience of Mary that Jesus wants in His disciples.

    Saturday of the 27th week in Course 2023 I think this brief Gospel gives us words that either Jesus or His Mother could have proclaimed. As usual, there’s a big crowd around Jesus, perhaps hundreds clamoring for attention, for encouragement, for healing or forgiveness. A woman raises her voice and ...read more

  • Led Forth With Joy In The Holy Spirit

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 17, 2023
     | 1,061 views

    God always remembers His covenant, His unbroken promise, so in all our words and actions, as the psalmist proclaims, we are led forth with joy.

    Saturday of 28th Week in Course 2023 One of the requirements for a just law, according to the Fathers of the Church and Thomas Aquinas, is that it be promulgated to those we expect to obey it. Now there is a natural moral law that is summarized in the Ten Commandments. St. Paul talks about that ...read more

  • Prayer And The Obedience Of Faith

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 24, 2023
     | 876 views

    We have access to grace and eternal life with the Blessed Trinity precisely because of their obedience, and our imitation of them by the obedience of faith.

    Saturday of the 29th Week in Course 2023 Our Lord frequently prayed at night, perhaps because His fame spread so widely in a short time that people desperate for help surrounded Him every day (except perhaps the Sabbath). So what did He do when praying? We can learn a great deal from His ...read more

  • Don't Mess With The Living God

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 25, 2023
     | 1,130 views

    The rules about good treatment of the neighbor get very specific.

    30th Sunday in Course 2023 In today’s Gospel, Jesus continues His long-running controversy with the Jewish leadership, in this case the masters of case law, the Pharisees. They are trying to pin the Lord down with a question that was placed before all the major rabbis, “what is the greatest ...read more

    Whatever demons we have been rid of, we owe that to Jesus, and so must be faithful to Him for all our lives.

    Saturday of 15th Week in course 2023 St. Mary Magdalene The first miracle of the Hebrew exodus was that Pharaoh let the people go. That had taken multiple plagues and great signs and wonders worked by God against the Egyptians. But when the last plague struck Pharaoh and his people, he all but ...read more

  • Exactly What Do You Worship?

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 15, 2023
     | 965 views

    What is the most important thing or process or person in your life? That is what you worship and serve.

    Saturday of the 19th Week in course 2023 A wise man once told me how to really know another person with one simple question. The question the other person must answer is “what do you worship?” That means, what is the most important thing or process or person in your life? That is what you worship ...read more

  • His Powerful Name; His Awesome Promise

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 5, 2023
     | 783 views

    We look forward at the end of our lives to participating in a New Creation, the very Kingdom of God and of His Christ, the Kingdom of Heaven.

    Saturday of the 22nd Week in Course 2023 The overall impression one can get from this very brief Gospel from Luke is that the Pharisees have nothing better to do on the Sabbath than find fault with how other Jews keep Shabbat. In this case, it was not a violation of Torah to eat the grain on ...read more

  • The Ability To Triumph Series

    Contributed by Joseph Marshall on Sep 19, 2005
    based on 34 ratings
     | 9,876 views

    Someone once said, “ A Christian is one who is completely fearless, continually cheerful, and constantly in trouble!” Joseph’s life illustrated this saying exactly; however, Joseph was always able to triumph over adversity.

    I. Over Misery (1-5) A. Joseph was not content to simpley survive. He actually thrived in adversity. B. Joseph was taken to a place where he did not kow the language or customs and was made a slave. C. Through all of this misery, everything ...read more

  • Soaking In Christ's "jesusness"

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 13, 2023
     | 1,263 views

    We are over our lifetime changed into His image. That’s what God wants for us, and that’s what we come together weekly to pray for.

    Third Sunday in Advent 2023 (sermon 2) Many years ago I had a theology professor who told me that the secret to successfully teaching theology is found in this letter of St. Paul to the Thessalonians: “Test everything.” And that’s actually good advice. First, if you are a manager–and all teachers ...read more

  • Restoring Parent-Offspring Relationships Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 19, 2023
     | 729 views

    Repent of any family sins we may have on our consciences.

    Saturday before Christmas 2023 There is only one God, and He is not inside His own creation, of course. That’s not a spatial or temporal statement, because God transcends space and time; God is other than space and time. He exists, but it is unwise to call God the “Supreme Being” because that ...read more

    Corpus Christi 2023 Today’s solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ is called Corpus Christi, for short, because prior to the major calendar changes late in the last century, the Precious Blood of Christ had its own separate feast. So we celebrate today the fact that Christ’s promise ...read more

    Astonishment to the nth power. Predicted by the prophets and fulfilled in Jesus.

    Saturday of the 25th week in course 2023 “All were astonished at the majesty of God.” Of course, anyone who has gone a hundred miles from bright city lights into a cloudless countryside and has looked up knows this to be true.

    What makes you afraid? I am afraid of heights … and snakes.

    Don’t be Troubled or Afraid November 12, 2023 What makes you afraid? I am afraid of heights … and snakes. Being afraid is sometimes different than being troubled – distressed, bothered, aggravated. We live in a troubled world, populated by violent extremists, incurable disease, and economic ...read more
