  • A Song For The Journey

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 6, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 11,496 views

    The pilgrimage of life may - or even must - lead by the way of the Cross: but the destination is assured.

    A SONG FOR THE JOURNEY. Psalm 121. This is a “song of ascent” - quite possibly sung by pilgrims on their way up to Jerusalem for one of the festivals. It would be an appropriate Psalm for returning exiles, too, when faced with the dangers of a thousand mile journey back across the wilderness from ...read more

  • This Is A Test Series

    Jesus feeds thousands

    This is a Test John is unique. Unlike any other gospel. John is new, different. Different stories, different teachings, different characters. Events occur mostly in Judea not Galilee, no parables at all - but sermon like conversations. Written 60 years or more after the resurrection, the author ...read more

    The Gospel According to Hosea Hosea on the Human Condition, part 10 Hosea chapter 9 David Taylor We are in the midst of our summer series, The Gospel According to Hosea, looking at God's faithful love toward an unfaithful people.

  • The Eighth Day Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 4, 2011
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,696 views

    The Sunday celebration, that of the new Sabbath, is the eighth day described by the Fathers of the Church.

    Monday of 5th week in Course 7 February 2011 Spirit of the Liturgy The great myths of Mesopotamia were myths of creation. Gods battled and slew each other, and the cosmos was formed from the dead body of a god. And it was pretty rank and fetid. That’s the way pagans look at their world. ...read more

  • The Unity Of Hope

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 23, 2013
    based on 10 ratings
     | 8,521 views

    The Christ child as the hope of the nations.

    THE UNITY OF HOPE. Romans 15:4-13. In many respects we might view Romans 14:1 to Romans15:13 as the practical outworking of the Jewish/Gentile debate of Romans 9 to 11. There was some dissension in Rome over matters of food and drink, and holy days. It is quite probable that it was a question of ...read more

  • Christian Character Of Stephen The Martyr

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 10, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,138 views

    The would-be servant of God, whether waiting at table, ushering at the door, distributing to the poor, or preaching the gospel, must be of a blameless character and reputation.

    THE CHRISTIAN CHARACTER OF STEPHEN THE MARTYR. Acts 6:1-15. It is interesting to commemorate one particular saint who gave his name to a Street, a Road, a Church, and a bench (!) in Norwich, and I dare say in other cities too. Stephen is rightly acknowledged as the first Christian martyr, a ...read more

  • Resurrection--Focal Point Of Our Music Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 23, 2011
     | 2,660 views

    We must strive for renewal of our liturgical music from within

    Monday in the Octave of Easter 25 April 2011 Spirit of the Liturgy The Gospel today documents a coverup. It was not the first coverup in history, but it certainly is the one with the worst results. The Resurrection of Jesus from the dead, and the simultaneous appearance of a number of dead ...read more

  • Acted Parables

    Contributed by Ed Wood on Nov 2, 2006
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,212 views

    A Lord’s Supper Devotional.

    ACTED PARABLES Mark 9:33-37 John 13:3-5 INTRO: Actions speak louder than words. We=ve all heard that old but accurate saying. An old Chinese proverb reflects this idea: AI hear and I forget; I see and I remember; I do and I understand.@ Old Testament leaders and prophets knew this truth. ...read more

  • He Is Our God Series

    Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Nov 13, 2016
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,286 views

    Live like Elijah to bring revival among God's people who live a lethargic life.

    “The Lord indeed is God; The Lord indeed is God” I Ki. 18:39 & Ex 20:4-6 1. Trouble to all People Omri reigned Israel, he made Samaria as its Capital (I Ki 16:24-26). He provoked the Lord by Idols. Ahab did more evil than all other kings before him (I Ki 16:30). He married Jezebel, a Sidonite ...read more

  • Witnessing To The Culture Of Death Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 7, 2020
     | 2,420 views

    We must work and pray, as St. Benedict told us to do. Work for the spread of the kingdom in our families and communities, and vote as a Christian must, for godly men and women who will resist the culture of death and legislate for life, peace, and goodness.

    Tuesday of the 2nd Week in Lent 2020 For our first reading today, I have chosen to begin earlier in the first chapter of Isaiah than the Lectionary suggests, and to add the verses the Lectionary omits. The Lenten readings take a great deal of the very long prophecies of Isaiah, but they omit ...read more

    We cannot Gather around Tables, We cannot wash feet, We cannot Touch. Maundy Thursday Service in the time of Coronavirus

    Maundy Thursday Lord, today as we gather apart, we pray for those who gather around tables at home. As we enjoy a meal, we know that in houses across the nation, families gather. Help us to feel your presence this evening, remembering the last meal you shared with your disciples. As we hear ...read more

  • Yes, A Church Leader Must Have A Sense Of Humor Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 23, 2019
     | 3,289 views

    We are told to have salt in us. Salt was used in the ancient world, and occasionally today, to preserve meat from corruption. So if we have spiritual salt, we will be preserved against that kind of corrupt thought and behavior.

    Thursday of the 7th Week in Course 2019 St. Hilarius Today we have a rare treat because of the late date of Ash Wednesday and Easter. We get the rare festival of St. Hilarius, about whom I will speak in a moment. By now, most years, we are deep into Lent, and so the saints’ days are suppressed in ...read more

  • Through Many Tribulations Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on May 8, 2020
     | 2,761 views

    Through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God. But we can take courage from the examples of Jesus and St. Paul.

    Tuesday of the 5th Week of Easter 2020 Today’s tale from the Acts of the Apostles needs some back-story for those who weren’t at Mass yesterday. The scene is Lystra, a village in southern Anatolia, sometime in the year 48, about 15 years after the Resurrection. It was part of the Roman province of ...read more

  • Party On! Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 31, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,739 views

    We all know that there were parties last evening, some that lasted well into the morning hours. But I venture to say that these parties were not celebrations of religious faith, such as the ones implied by today’s Scriptures.

    Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God Party On! Today’s Scriptures are so brief that if our minds are not focused, we might not remember any of them. I’ve wondered if that was an act of mercy on the part of those who back in the 1960's put together the three-year cycle of readings, and saw New ...read more

  • Mardi Gras Or Shrove Tuesday?

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 22, 2020
     | 1,715 views

    The season we begin tomorrow is a time to draw near to God so that He can draw near to us.

    Tuesday of the 7th Week in Course Mardi Gras Passions. We don’t hear much about that plural noun lately. Oh, the word “passion” turns up in seamy novels and videos, I suppose. And those of us for whom the Catholic religion, the word “passion” stirs up thoughts of the torture Jesus had to undergo ...read more
