    Jesus tells us today not just to forgive our enemies, something we heard earlier in the Gospel, but to wish them well, to do good to them, and, yes, to love them.

    Saturday of the First Week of Lent 2023 One of the worst heresies of the past two thousand years, an opinion that keeps coming back with almost predictable regularity, is the error first heard in early times from Marcion. The idea is that the God of the OT was a harsh, vindictive judge, almost ...read more

    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

    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

     | 894 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

  • All Believers Can Be Bearers Of The Word Of God

     | 889 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
     | 992 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
     | 792 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
     | 1,070 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

  • His Powerful Name; His Awesome Promise

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 5, 2023
     | 728 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

    based on 34 ratings
     | 9,751 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

  • Just What Is This Anyway? Manna? Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 6, 2023
     | 1,011 views

    We see the miracle of God in the desert called “manna which you did not know, nor did your fathers know.”

    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

  • No Greater Love Series

    Contributed by Dr. Lewis W. Gregory on Feb 7, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,207 views

    To love the unlovely and the unloveable is inconceivable. But that is just exactly what God did for all of us. We, who were corrupt through sin became the beneficiaries of eternal life through the sacrificial death of Christ.

    What motivated God the Father to send His one and only cherished Son to earth to die for us? Why would the holy Son of God want to come into a wicked world? Moreover, what would prompt Him to give His life as a human sacrifice for sinful, wicked humanity? It is inherent in God’s nature to make ...read more

    God's leniency toward us sinners should convince us of His power and our need to imitate Him by forgiving those who damage us.

    Sixteenth Sunday in Course 2023 Who in the universe is mightier than God? Right, that’s a silly question. God is the mightiest. But how does He show His power, beyond just keeping every atom and molecule in existence? God’s power is manifest in His justice, which is imprinted into our consciences. ...read more

     | 810 views

    The old covenant in blood was sealed on Mt. Sinai between God and the Israelites He redeemed from Egyptian bondage. But there is a New Covenant in precious blood.

    Saturday of the 16th Week in Course 2023 Ss Mary, Martha, Lazarus We should all remember that in chapter 6 of John’s Gospel, Jesus reminded the Jewish audience in the Capernaum synagogue that their fathers many generations earlier had eaten God-given manna in the desert, but had died.

  • Just And Unjust Societies In Olden Times

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 1, 2023
     | 841 views

    Do we respect the law of God or not?

    Saturday of the 17th week in Course 2023 Our OT reading today continues the narrative of the Book of Leviticus, the main tradition of the Hebrew priestly class, in a sense the memories of the tribe of Levi. We need to remember that Moses and Aaron were members of that class; we need also to ...read more
