    A quick look at the differences between lust and adultery in America and in Muslim countries. No copywrt, feel free to edit or add too however you like. I am not an expert, so please forgive and bring to my attention any mistakes. Thanks.

    We can learn several lessons from the Muslim world, from their mistakes and from their successes too. One such mistake and success is adultery, one of The Ten Commandments. The muslims take lust and adultery very seriously. Compared to some of us Americans they follow Jesus’s command better ...read more

    Take the shot. You might score a goal, but do the good whether you succeed or not.

    On this third Sunday in “ordinary time,” we read (and many parishes sing) the Introit from Ps 96, “sing a new song to the Lord; sing to the Lord all the earth. In his presence are majesty and splendor, strength and honor in his holy place.” Wow! An unchurched American, reading that, might ask ...read more

    What does God say about marriage?

    The pastor was visiting the fourth-grade Sunday School class to talk about marriage as part of the lesson. He asked the class, "What does God say about marriage?" Immediately one boy replied, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." Well, friends, that is not exactly a proper ...read more

    The confusion of tongues God visited on his people at the tower of Babel is reversed at Pentecost.

    I have to begin this sermon with a confession. I have a weakness for puns. One or two of you may have noticed it, and as faults go it’s not as bad as some. But this week, I have to admit, I gave into temptation. The title of this sermon is a pun. Because I’m not going to talk about what most ...read more

    The Good Shepherd And How To Get More Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 22, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,178 views

    Pray especially for holy priests, brothers and sisters. Pray for those who are preparing for or struggling in marriage. And pray for those who have chosen to remain unmarried in a celibate state, and for those who are trying to run from the divine call.

    For many decades this day has rightly been called “Good Shepherd Sunday,” because both of our New Testament readings speak of Jesus as Shepherd of our souls, Shepherd of the One Flock, the Church. Both of these precious proclamations have Old Testament roots. Let’s start with the story of Abraham ...read more

    The Gospel Succeeds Even In An Age Of Fecklessness Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 11, 2020
     | 2,331 views

    We need to continue on the path we were set on by Jesus long ago–the path to holiness. That means giving up everything of this world that keeps us from imaging Jesus and Mary.

    Tuesday of the First Week in Course 2020 Saint Mark gets right to the point, just like the high priest Eli. But Saint Mark gets the whole picture, and Eli does not. Mark’s Gospel is designed to demonstrate to his Roman audience–and us–that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and Messiah. Look how few ...read more

    Faith, above all, is a gift of God. Now it’s a gift that he pours out liberally on all humans, but it will not save our souls unless we cooperate with it.

    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.
