Transcendent Vision Of The Human Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 29, 2009

The push for homosexual marriage is a denial of the transcendent nature of man, who is called to union with God, and to marriage which images the union of God and the Church.

August 31, 2009 Monday of 22nd Week in Course Caritas in Veritate Without a transcendent vision of the human person, without the vital link to God, there can be no true human development.

Preaching The Truth, Convenient Or Not Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 14, 2009

As Jesus did in his home town, we must preach the truth about marriage, even at some risk.

Holy Thursday: "And With Your Spirit."

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Apr 10, 2017

"I figure I have a better chance of running into Jesus here than most places."

Holy Thursday "The Lord be with you;" "And with your spirit." The roots of this dialogue is based on when God shared Moses' spirit with the 70 Hebrew elders in the Book of Numbers, verse 11:25.

Palm Sunday

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Mar 18, 2019

This Lent Get Your Passions Under Control Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 21, 2023

We take pleasure in the lesser goods of earth–food, drink, beauty, sex. And if we take too much pleasure there, we can treat them as if they were the highest good and we fall into sin.

Ash Wednesday Homily What brings us here today so early? We are here because we want something. Not a mere smear of black soot, no. If that were our goal, we’d be certifiably insane.

No Saintly Life Is Tragically Short Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 25, 2009

Many saints’ lives seem "tragically short." Short, perhaps, but not tragic; Jesus’s life was the briefest of all.

Feast of St. James July 25, 2009 In our meditation on the mystery of Christ and Mary today, there is something that occurred to me that I knew wouldn’t survive the drive to church, so I typed it out.

Reason For The Hope Within

Contributed by Michael Westacott on Oct 22, 2003

This sermon is similar to my sermon "He exists", but it has only 5 arguments for God’s existence. It includes a section on the importance of defending the faith and why just because we can’t see God doesn’t mean he doesn’t exist. I personally believe thi

One day after school back in year 10, I was talking to one of my friends. I made some remark that on Saturday I was going to church. He looked down, nodded, and then in a rather frustrated voice asked me “Do you really believe in all that stuff?” If someone were to ask you that question, how would ...read more
