    We look forward to the kingdom of justice and love Jesus would establish after His Resurrection and the Descent of the Holy Spirit.

    Saturday of 13th week in course For the last few days we have been hearing the prophecies of the minor prophet Amos, who came from the kingdom of Judah–David’s kingdom–to the large but heretical kingdom of Israel. This prophetic vision, like the others we have heard, tells Israel that their sins ...read more

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 10, 2024
     | 432 views

    All of us are called to be evangelists to the folks around us. That means all of us must practice self-control, moderation.

    Friday of 23rd week in course 2024 Today’s Scriptures need to be read with the saying of Jesus found in the Gospel of John. Jesus said “I am the Light of the world.” We see it again in the Book of Revelations, as the description of the eternal city of God tells us that there is no need for lamps ...read more

     | 2,843 views

    This sermon explores Ash Wednesday in depth, answering three key questions: What is Ash Wednesday? How do we observe it? And what is its spiritual value?

    As Christians, we gather together regularly to study God's word and grow in our faith. Each time we come into God's presence, we draw closer to Him and experience His love and guidance. The Holy Spirit fills our souls with the joys of heaven as we surrender ourselves to God. Death is an inevitable ...read more

    No Resurrection? How Does That Make Sense?

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 17, 2024
     | 318 views

    It’s not clear what the back-story is for this claim, but it leads to one of Paul’s best little classes in logic. Perhaps there was a Sadducee-trained Jewish Christian in Corinth. They didn’t believe in any resurrection.

    Friday of the Twenty-Fourth Week in Course 2024 From the beginning of the Church way back in the first century Christians have been proclaiming and celebrating the physical Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. That was a real historical event that occurred three days after He was murdered ...read more

    Jesus is describing the Kingdom of God, which on earth is the Church He deputized to continue His mission to the world.

    Friday of the Third Week in Course 2025 Mark’s Gospel today gives us a little story that is found in no other place in the NT. Like so many of the Jesus stories, it is about agriculture. Jesus is describing the Kingdom of God, which on earth is the Church He deputized to continue His mission to ...read more

    Constantly Repenting To Follow Christ

     | 422 views

    Do those things well and the government will be respected. Do them badly and the people get angry and one way or another dismantle that government.

    Friday of the Fourteenth Week in Course 2024 There are several basic and critical functions of any government, once a region of the world has established one. Israel–the northern Kingdom after the breakup of David’s kingdom after the terrible mess Solomon left–was such an area. A successful ...read more

    Thorns And Roses And Eternal Happiness

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 10, 2024
     | 476 views

    Whenever we realize that all is not roses, that thorns come along with every life, we have to deal with our duty toward God.

    Friday of the Fourteenth Sunday in course 2024 At some point in every person’s life, there comes a realization that all is not well with that life. It may have to do with a really terrible family argument or tragedy. Sometimes it waits around until sexual awakening, and the confusing feelings that ...read more

    Just What Law Is So Precious And Sweet?

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 23, 2024
     | 404 views

    Christ's last commandment is the one that the psalm is talking about, perfect, tasting sweet, priceless. That command is simply this. “Love one another as I have loved you.”

    Friday of the Sixteenth Week in Course What is this Law that is perfect, that refreshes the soul and gives wisdom to the simple-minded? It rejoices the heart, is true and just, and more precious than gold. It tastes sweeter than syrup, or even honey straight from the comb (and I know how tasty ...read more

     | 467 views

    What comes to us when our breath stops, when our days pass and we don’t even make a shadow anymore?

    Friday of the Twenty-fifth Week in Course 2024 Our first reading from the Book of Ecclesiastes/Qoheleth today may be for older Americans one of the ten most familiar Bible quotes. The atheist singer Pete Seeger penned “Turn, turn, turn” in 1959 and it became a Billboard number one song when ...read more

    Blessings And Curses

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 8, 2024
     | 539 views

    Jesus, true God and true man, took on the curse of the cross and the grace He won saves you from the curse of the Law. Don’t try to add on to your faith by the Law, because you’ll just bring the curse of the Law back on yourselves.

    Friday of the 27th week in Course 2024 We should begin any homily on the Letter to the Galatians with a reminder that this church in Asia Minor was in a kind of turmoil because of some itinerant Jewish Christian preachers. These folks came to town after St. Paul taught them the basics of Christian ...read more

    Friday of the thirtieth week in Course 2024 In our daily lectio Divina with the sacred Scriptures, and especially with the letters of St. Paul, it is helpful to know what passage comes before and what comes after the reading. Today we are in Ephesians 4, which has beautiful and helpful advice on ...read more

    When Catastrophes Happen, Whom Do We Blame?

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 6, 2025
     | 84 views

    When something really bad happens, we look for a scapegoat to take the blame. For lots of troubles, our response is to blame God, praying “why did you do this to us, Lord?”

    Friday of the Twenty-seventh Week in Ordinary Time 2025 What has happened so that the prophet Joel tells the priests of the Jerusalem temple to weep and wail? Why is the house of God deprived of grain offering and wine offering? If we look not here in chapter 2 of the prophecy, but go back to ...read more

    Dealing With Lust In Your Heart

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 8, 2025
     | 196 views

    In the Garden of Eden, our first parents messed up grievously. They heard the voice of God telling them what to do to care for this earth, and what not to do, and then they listened not to the loving voice of God, but the envious voice of the Horrible Serpent, Satan, our adversary.

    Friday of the 10th Week in Course 2025 I suspect that I’m not the only one here today who has ever felt trapped in a deep well, a hole that has no way out. Perhaps your whole family has been in such a trap, and you have gotten to the limit of your power to get them out. Like the psalmist, you are ...read more

     | 152 views

    One of the ways we can keep our body—that means our person—full of light is to be careful about what we read and watch.

    Friday of the Eleventh Week in Course 2025 The psalmist tells us what to do: “Look to him that you may be radiant with joy, and your faces may not blush with shame.” When should we be doing that, looking to Our Lord? And what picture should we have in our minds when we imagine ourselves looking ...read more
