  • The Purpose Driven Prayer Series

    Contributed by Donald Mcculley on Jun 10, 2019
     | 4,755 views

    Introduction: “Purpose” seems to be the buzz word today, wouldn’t you say? This text is the first of two prayers in the letter.

    Introduction: “Purpose” seems to be the buzz word today, wouldn’t you say? This text is the first of two prayers in the letter. Its very position drives home its purpose. “For this reason” could look back to God’s blessings (1:3-14), or it could look forward to the news Paul had received about ...read more

    It's hardly possible to contemplate Mt. Tabor without thinking of Mt. Calvary.

    Second Sunday of Lent 2023 After St. Aelred I don’t know if it is possible to hear the Gospel accounts–any of them–of the Transfiguration of Christ on Mt. Tabor without thinking of another elevation a few miles away. I mean the holy hill we call Mt. Calvary, where Jesus, the Son of Man and Son of ...read more

    God loves us. He wants to shed His grace–His very divine life–on every human being.

    Saturday of the Second Week in Lent 2023 Every four weeks, those of us who pray the Church’s official morning prayer encounter Psalm 77, which is a lament by a temple Levite.

     | 1,459 views

    This flesh of ours, when given the choice of visiting a prayer chapel or going to a wild party, pushes us to choose the party.

    Fifth Sunday of Lent 2023 It’s very easy for us to be so taken with today’s Gospel that we push aside the short Epistle taken from St. Paul’s letter to the Church at Rome. So let’s look at what he is telling this relatively young community of Jews and Gentiles who have believed in the Gospel of ...read more

     | 819 views

    In truth, Jesus was the Son of God, and son of Mary.

    Saturday of the First Week of the Year 2023 I don’t know if our story from the Gospel of Luke is like the first time in history somebody used like the word “like” in a way that’s become emblematic of the early 21st century in the US, but here it is: “Jesus was like thirty-ish, being the ...read more

    Our biggest problem can be fixed by repentance and confession. We can be healed through this charism of the Church.

    Pentecost Sunday 2023 Today’s first reading from the Acts of the Apostles is so striking, with its description of the Holy Spirit’s descent in the form of fire, and the resulting prayer in tongues, that it tends to overwhelm the rest of the Scriptures. So let’s look at today’s psalm 104 to ...read more

    God Does Not Need Anything from Us. It's the Other Way around.

    Twelfth Sunday in Course 2023 The words of Jeremiah today sound very much like a political candidate’s lament over the words of an enemy: Here’s what my opponent is plotting: “Denounce him. . .perhaps he can be deceived, then we can overcome him. . .” But really, those of us who have been around ...read more

  • Jesus--Crazy Or Victorious?

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 18, 2023
     | 924 views

    It appears here that the relatives of Jesus want to have Him committed to a mental ward.

    Saturday of the 2nd week in Course 2023 Today’s Gospel is one of the shortest readings in the Lectionary. If you don’t pay attention, it’s over before you can grasp it. Why?
