    God's Love Is Constant--Even When It Does Not Feel Good

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 19, 2022
     | 1,170 views

    When the Lord showed Himself to Moses on the mountain, He declared Himself to be a God of compassion and loving kindness–in Biblical language–forever.

    Tuesday of the 16th Week in Course Recently I heard a homily that really pricked my ears, and almost prompted me to jump up in the pew and object. The preacher said something like “the God of the OT is not One that I worship,” because in the Scriptures we read some pretty nasty stuff. Psalm 137 is ...read more

    Compost Pile Or Heap Of Rotten Garbage? Series

     | 1,305 views

    The Christian heart needs frequent airing out and turning, even after conversion and sacramental grace.

    Monday of 17th Week in Course Ss Anne and Joachim When someone says the word “parable” to most Christians, I think they immediately recall the parables of Jesus, like the one we heard today: the tiny mustard seed grows into a huge bush, the yeast mixed up with wheat, if properly mixed, causes the ...read more

    Why did Jesus not heal many of the sick in His own home town?

    Monday of 22nd week in Course 1 Cor 2: 1-5; Lk 4: 16-30 Hearing today’s Gospel with fresh ears might lead some of us to be a little critical of Jesus. After all, the townsfolk of Nazareth welcomed Jesus back and invited Him to act as lector and even give the homily. When he told them that He was ...read more

    Isaiah reminds the king that the LORD is, indeed, his God.

    Homily for December 20, five days before Christmas. 2024 Isaiah had to be one of the most frustrated prophets in the OT. He constantly challenged the leaders and people of Israel to return to the LORD, their God, and give up the sordid rites of the Canaanite peoples who inhabited the Holy Land ...read more

    God’s promise: that when He himself comes to Zion as Redeemer, God would make a covenant with the peoples and send His spirit into them, His words into their mouths.

    Epiphany Homily 2025 The story of God’s people, the Israelites, from Abraham to Jesus was a series of a few triumphs and many tragedies.

    Education, Immigration, Development And The Gospel Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,873 views

    One little act of evil just leads to more evil, not good; if we are to help humans develop, we must fact the twin problems of education and immigration

    Monday of Holy Week 2010 Caritas in Veritate The notion that doing one “little act of evil” in order to fulfill a good purpose is the original sin. So Judas, one of the early disciples and probably the earliest treasurer, raked off some of the collection plate money for something he ...read more

     | 5,169 views

    The burdens of life can seem the truest part of life. In Christ, the truest part of life is joy in the Holy Spirit.

    This is a short homily given at an inner-city mission in Toronto. Have you ever felt like life is too much? It’s all just too hard, too painful, too much work? Have you ever felt like throwing in the towel? I think we’ve all felt something like that from time to time. The accumulated ...read more

    The Council was critical to the defense of the faith and the worldwide evangelical effort that was already beginning. It was truly a work of the Holy Spirit.

    Thursday of the Fifteenth Week in Course 2018 Reformation/Revolution The words of Jesus today are so poignant that most of us have probably memorized them sometime in our lives. A yoke is the implement an ox or other draft animal wears between head and body. Slaves might be made to wear such ...read more

    When Zechariah has an opportunity to perform restitution to God for his lack of faith, he writes boldly on his tablet the words of the angel, “his name shall be John.”

    Homily for Two Days before Christmas December 23 Today our Evening Prayer antiphon recognizes Jesus as "Emmanuel, king and lawgiver, desire of the nations, Savior of all people," and begs Him to come set us free from our sins. So we return to the story we began a few days ago, in ...read more

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 26, 2021
     | 1,112 views

    No city, no nation, no culture deliberately sets out to become a society of depraved miscreants, to be forever remembered as abhorrent, to give its name to an unspeakable sin.

    Homily for Monday of 13th week in Course Gen 18; Mt 8:18-22 Have you ever wondered how Sodom and Gomorrah got to be the way they were in the time of Abraham and Lot?

    Jesus poured out everything–His knowledge, His dignity, His very human life-blood to the last drop on Calvary. He held back nothing so He could give it all to us

    An Easter Homily One of the first phrases out of St. Peter’s mouth on the Day of Pentecost, the day in which the Holy Spirit filled the disciples of Jesus and they broke out in tongues and prophecy, is “Therefore let all the house of Israel know for certain that God has made Him both Lord and ...read more

    Simon magus, also known as Simon the Sorcerer or the Magician, was a religious figure whose confrontation with Peter is recorded in Acts 8:9–24. The act of simony, or paying for the position, is named after Simon, who tried to buy his way into the power of the Apostles.

    Working Women And Titus 2:5

    Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Mar 31, 2017

     | 8,828 views

    Decades ago, most Christian pastors, teachers, and counselors in effect tore-out of their Bibles the portion of Titus 2:5 which enjoins that women (especially younger women) are to be “keepers at home.”

    For over a half-century, we have witnessed our society depart from God's will in regard to the differing roles and responsibilities that individuals are to play based upon their gender. Feminism, more than any other ungodly philosophy, has motivated American and European societies to reject the ...read more
