  • The Gestures Of Worship Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 23, 2011
     | 2,948 views

    Profound bows, joining of hands for prayer, and striking our breast are all important adjuncts to our worship.

    Feast of St. James July 25, 2011 Spirit of the Liturgy Some of the apostles have paired feasts–Ss. Peter and Paul, Simon and Jude, Philip and James the Lesser. We would expect James and John, blood brothers, to be treated in this way, but they each have their own festival day. I think that ...read more

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 25, 2014
     | 2,208 views

    The Church must aspire to a necessary conversion so that our method and message is appealing to those who are in a sinful lifestyle, to return to Christ, convert themselves and be healed and reconciled.

    Thursday of the 30th Week in Course Joy of the Gospel My wife was privileged to be the confirmation sponsor for a young lady this year, and her instruction to the girl was centered around this concluding passage from the letter of St. Paul to the church at Ephesus: “take the whole armor of ...read more

  • Famous Last Words

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 1, 2015
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,573 views

    It is the everlasting covenant that gives David the courage to hope. Man may fail, but God will not. The covenant is set in place by God, and guaranteed by God.

    FAMOUS LAST WORDS. 2 Samuel 23:1-7. The Bible sometimes permits us to listen in on the death-bed words of a dying saint. We hear Jacob blessing his sons. We hear Moses blessing the twelve tribes. We are interested also to hear the seven last sayings of Jesus from the Cross. In the passage ...read more

  • Introducing Christ Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 6,470 views

    This is part one of a series of messages in the Gospel of John.

    INTRODUCTION: John’s gospel is different from the others. There is no genealogy, no manger scene, no boyhood, no temptation, no Mount of transfiguration, and no Gethsemane. There are only a few special miracles chosen by John as “signs.” We have the famous “I AM” sayings of Jesus and many ...read more

    We have the prophetic word fully confirmed in Jesus.

    THE FOUNDATIONAL AUTHORITY OF SCRIPTURE. 2 Peter 1:19-21. The church is built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief corner stone (Ephesians 2:20). At the back of Peter’s apostolic testimony to the transfiguration of our Lord (2 Peter 1:16-18) lies ...read more

  • Holiness And Controversy

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 6, 2018
     | 3,021 views

    The life of St Teresa Benedicta of the Cross is inspirational but off-putting to some.

    St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross August 9, 2018 We are the people of the New Covenant, the covenant made in the blood of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Israel was brought out of Egypt by the power of God. He then gave them the Old Covenant made in the blood of lambs and oxen, written on stone in the Ten ...read more

     | 2,270 views

    Forgive those who offend you or God cannot forgive your own sins. Be merciful as your heavenly Father is merciful.

    Thursday of 19th Week in Course St Stephen of Hungary Today’s first reading, from the prophet Ezekiel, is so short that it tends to run right through our heads without finding purchase. So I’ll read it again, The word of the LORD came to me: 2"Son of man, you dwell in the midst of a rebellious ...read more

  • Greater Works?

    Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Aug 26, 2016
     | 8,217 views

    Are we experiencing Jesus' promise?

    John 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. What works did He do? He preached the Gospel and we do that on a larger scale thanks to technology. He healed the sick, ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 7,182 views

    We must spend time with God in order to be more like him. His acquaintance is not made hurriedly.

    Two Bags Of Dirt On Two Mules II Kings 5:15-19 As we break into this chapter we find ourselves in a much more pleasant time in the life of Naaman than at the genesis of the chapter. Naaman was a captain of the host of Syria, a great man with his master, honorable, and a mighty man of valour; but ...read more

  • The Power Of The Word Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,489 views

    The story of Elisha and Naaman teaches us about the Word of Evangelization, the Word of direction, and the Word of testimony, all powerful in the saving of souls.

    Monday of the 3rd Week in Lent Verbum Domini At least as early as the time of St Gregory of Nyssa in the 4th century (On the Baptism of Christ), the Fathers of the Church were seeing this healing of Naaman the Syrian as a type of Baptism. The story is a compelling reminder of the impotence of ...read more

  • The Twin Loves And Saint Louis Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 6, 2019
     | 2,307 views

    Whatever our state of life, we are called to live and die in love. We are called to follow Jesus and to become saints ourselves.

    January 10, 2019 St. Louis of Toulouse Every day we wake up, we wake up to the understanding that our being able to wake up is a divine gift. Every night when we retire saying our night prayers, we make an act of confidence in God, trusting that if we die that night, we are in the care of the ...read more

  • The Glory We Share With The Father And Son

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on May 12, 2018
     | 2,672 views

    St. Gregory of Nyssa, and other Fathers of the Church, teach that the glory of the Father and the Son is the Holy Spirit, who is love. The glory we are given is the Holy Spirit who enables us to image Christ in our world.

    Thursday of the 7th Week of Easter 2018 St. Paschal Baylon The prayer of Jesus we just heard from St. John is part of the High Priestly Prayer Our Lord offered at the Last Supper. If you look carefully at it, you might call it the first Eucharistic Prayer, and here you find Christ offering His ...read more

  • Who Claims Our Devotion? Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 18, 2020
     | 1,544 views

    Our devotion is not to a book, not even to a church building, and not even to our fellow parishioners. We derive our identity as Catholics from our devotion to the lord of the Sabbath, the lord of our lives, Our Lord, Jesus the Christ.

    Feast of St. Agnes 2020 Tuesday of 2nd week in Course For generations after the Hebrews settled in the Holy Land, they acknowledged only God, the Lord, as their leader. But in the time of the prophet-priest Samuel, these tribes began to worry him about a king. The whole point of the covenant God ...read more

  • Thirty-Second Sunday In Ordinary Time, C--The Sadducees

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Oct 12, 2022
     | 1,214 views

    I believe the question I would have asked the Sadducees would be, “Was this woman taking out life insurance policies on all these husbands?”

    One of my seminary professors said that it’s easy to remember who the Sadducees were because since they denied that there is a resurrection, they were “so sad you see.” The Sadducees were the ancient version of modern liberal theologians. They were anti-supernaturalistic. They only accepted the ...read more

  • So What Really Is Sin, Righteousness And Judgement? Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on May 25, 2019
     | 2,865 views

    The world thinks sin is anything they don’t like good people doing.

    Tuesday of the 6th week in Easter 2019 I’m one of the folks who believes that lawyers are a bane on our existence until the day you need one, and then they are the best people on earth. In Jesus’s last sermon, in the upper room after the Last Supper, we hear that it’s better that Jesus ascended ...read more
