    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 6, 2024
     | 476 views

    To borrow from John Donne, “send not to know” where is the bloody city. We are the bloody city.

    Friday of the 18th Week in Course 2024 Where is the Bloody City? Assyria was the bloody city in the time of the prophet Nahum. Everybody knew it. They had conquered countries from central Africa up and down, east and west, all the way up to the area we call Ukraine. And they did it brutally. ...read more

     | 1,210 views

    Jesus, how are you going to get out of this trap?

    Thirty-Second Sunday in Course 2022 Every week we rise together and recite one or the other professions of faith, either the Apostles’ Creed or the Niceno-Constantinopolitan. (That’s the long one with the word “consubstantial” in it.) One of the statements we say we believe is “the resurrection of ...read more

    When We Are Haled Before The Magistrate--Now What?

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 13, 2022
     | 859 views

    If we deny Christ and His divine authority and eternal power, then we will be denied by Christ at the judgement, and face an eternity of suffering and radical aloneness.

    Saturday of 28th Week in Course 2022 Today’s Gospel has been misused far more times than it has been used by Christians facing martyrdom by the power of some civil or religious authority. What Jesus seems to intend in His challenge to us disciples is that when we are haled, or hauled, before ...read more

    Almost certainly in our lifetime we will also have to follow Christ to our own cross. Probably not a bloody martyrdom, but the culture hates the Church and all who follow Christ.

Miguel Agustin Pro Today, in the glaring light of our proclamation on Sunday that Jesus Christ is the King of the Universe, we are invited to consider the virtues of those who will be found worthy to live forever in that marvelous, unimaginably ...read more

    In this age, when Christians of all kinds are being ridiculed, harassed and threatened in many different ways, we need to look at the martyrs of the past two thousand years and take courage.

    Tuesday of the 14th Week in Course 2019 Jacob ben Isaac was a cheat, a liar and a thief. You may recall from an earlier reading in Genesis that he lied, cheated and stole his older brother, Esau’s, first-born blessing. Then, wisely, he left town and took up with Laban, where he married two sisters ...read more

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 25, 2018
     | 2,238 views

    We in the Church are under constant assault by politicians, so-called comedians and the mass media. Today we quite easily relate to the readings from the Lectionary. God almighty, come to our aid!

    Thursday after Christ the King 2018 There was a time in my on life that Fr. Richard Neuhaus called “the Catholic moment,” a time when being Catholic seemed to be the best thing in the world.

    Our opportunity for service may be in sight in a moment, and bypass us in another if we’re not ready to run to obedience. Philip ran to do God’s bidding.

    Following the Acts record it would appear that the newborn church had been pretty cozy and comfortable, up until the martyrdom of Stephen.

This is the same court that Peter and John recently stood before and the same court Jesus recently stood before. All the same men are there who were at Jesus’ trial, all the ...read more
