    Evangelization--Sacred Vs Secular Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 31, 2015
     | 3,447 views

    The pope encourages us to understand that non-Western cultures are suspicious of Christian evangelization because they confuse it with the spread of secularism and the culture of death.

    Thursday of the 4th Week in Course 2015 Light of the Gospel St. Mark’s Gospel is rarely verbose. He always tells the story of Jesus using an economy of words, perhaps because the Church of Rome was too poor to supply him much in the way of writing supplies, or because it was often ...read more

    Your Child Will Live Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 9, 2013
     | 3,648 views

    Wisdom gently attracts the mind of humans to a quest and a love for what is true and good through the beautiful. The modern mind no less than the ancient mind needs God.

    Monday of 4th Week in Lent 2013 Gaudium et Spes Most commentators–even those who wrote in the first millennium–believe that John’s Gospel was the last one written. The historian Eusebius quotes Clement of Alexandria as saying that John, aware of the other three Gospels, wrote a ...read more

     | 5,498 views

    Jesus was the seed that died so that we might live; we too are called to die to self so that others may live.

    Monday of Holy Week 2013 Seeds 1 Two of the privileges given to deacons in this diocese is the ability to preside at baptisms and wake services. What is striking to me every time is the use of this psalm 27, this psalm which begins this first day of three at the head of Holy Week. “I ...read more

    True Inculturation And The Liturgy Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 16, 2011
     | 2,834 views

    Authentic inculturation means that we Christianize the culture in which we live.

    18 July 2011 The Spirit of the Liturgy I recall from grade school days when some particularly hard-hearted kid wanted to get under my skin, he would say “Prove it!” to anything I might advance. We see this in the Hebrews fleeing from Egypt. They trusted Moses until they got into a ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,103 views

    Force, violence and recession are all just external means to get attention, but the way to bring God’s kingdom begins with a conversion of heart.

    New Year’s Homily Isaiah 4:2-3 The words from Isaiah today are the comforting part of a longer passage that I would like to quote in full. Isaiah is speaking for God, and talking about the day of judgement: Seven women will take hold of one man on that day, saying: “We will eat our own food and ...read more

    Our worship must be an authentic and total gift of self in the spirit of the Beatitudes

    All Saints Day Nov 1 2010 The Spirit of the Liturgy Today is part of what we might call a great cosmic convergence, at least for our nation.

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,239 views

    Jesus is the true sacrifice which we re-present in our worship; he is a perfect sacrifice of obedience to the Father's will

    Monday of 32nd Week in Course November 8, 2010 Spirit of the Liturgy What the New American Bible calls “things that cause sin,” and the RSV translates “temptations to sin,” is the word skandala, which is lousy Greek but good Hebrew. The word “scandal” means a ...read more

    Thursday in Third Week of Easter 2016 Joy of the Gospel Those of us who are blessed to be in the Catholic church for many decades tend to take for granted our sacramental realities, especially the Blessed Eucharist. I recall reading about a Muslim who, though totally without faith in the ...read more

    Gather Up All Things In Christ Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 28, 2016
     | 3,403 views

    We generate history, not by politics and war, but by service to the poor and helpless.

    Thursday of the 30th Week in Course 2016 Joy of the Gospel Every time we turn a page in the New Testament, we are–if we are sensitive–struck by how counter-intuitive the Christian message is. Consider St. Paul’s life. He was, by his own account, a super-Jew. He observed every ...read more
