  • Let Your Righteousness Exceed Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 11, 2016
    based on 2 ratings
     | 5,052 views

    Our righteousness is measured against that of Jesus–who loved us all the way to the cross and challenged us to follow His love.

    5th Sunday after Pentecost 2016 A Reading from the first Epistle of St. Peter Beloved: All of you, have unity of spirit, sympathy, love of the brethren, a tender heart and a humble mind. 9 Do not return evil for evil or reviling for reviling; but on the contrary bless, for to this you have been ...read more

  • Changing Hearts, Changing Worlds Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 11, 2016
     | 4,202 views

    The Holy Spirit knows well what is needed in every time and place.

    Thursday of 11th Week in Course There’s a contrast between our two prophets–Jesus and Elijah–in today’s Scriptures. Elijah’s missionary method was pretty direct. When Israel defected from worshiping the true God, he called down a three-year drought. When he won ...read more

  • Inconveniencing Ourselves For Others Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 18, 2016
     | 4,181 views

    When we wake up in the morning, let’s make our prayer a hymn of praise to God

    Thursday of 12th Week in Course The critical question Jesus–and Amos for that matter–raises today is one we all have to answer: “why do you think evil in your hearts?” Whether it be the Jeroboams of the world or the Pharisees, or you and I, we human beings think evil in ...read more

  • He Would Forgive Them All

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 2, 2022
     | 839 views

    Jesus gives an opportunity for her and her accusers to repent and be forgiven and change a sinful life. By God’s grace, won for us in the crucifixion of Christ, all of us are given that chance.

    Monday of 5th week in Lent John 8 If one reads the two Bible stories we proclaim today, it is very easy to see that the Gospel is a midrash on the Susannah story from the Deuterocanonical chapters in the Book of Daniel. A midrash casts a later incident in the style of an older one, particularly ...read more

  • No Mere External Change Can Make Us Happy

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 2, 2022
     | 1,384 views

    We have in our deepest being a desire for the infinite, a restlessness for the fullness of being.

    Fifth Sunday in Lent 9 March 2008 Lazarus was rushing around more than usual. Martha had forgotten to set back the sundials the previous evening to Jerusalem daylight savings time and they were all running an hour late for synagogue. Lazarus had been coughing for some time, but felt well to go ...read more

  • Forsaken?

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 9, 2022
     | 1,286 views

    The psalm we sang today, the psalm He prayed on the cross as He gradually suffocated to death, begins with an apparent cry of despair: “God, why have you forsaken me?”

    Passion (Palm) Sunday In the four Gospels there are four slightly different accounts of the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus. St Mark’s is the briefest of them all. He records only one statement of Jesus. But what all four Evangelists agree on is this: Jesus died praying. He died as ...read more

  • The Disabled Suffer With Christ

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 9, 2022
     | 1,302 views

    Jesus suffered to give us an example of how to die unjustly, but He did not condone that murder.

    Monday of Holy Week Bruised Reeds The Gospel today tells us that the Messiah will not break the bruised reed or extinguish the smouldering wick. In other words, He understands our weakness and treats it with mercy, not vindictiveness. God is particularly respectful of our weak wills and frail ...read more

  • The Just Society And Why Judas Was Judged Harshly

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 9, 2022
     | 939 views

    Somehow it seems very strange to ask Judas about the virtue of justice.

    Monday of Holy Week I don’t understand why people these days feel like they have to defend Judas from the accusations that he was a thief and a jerk. He was a thief and a jerk. Today’s Gospel shows him accusing Jesus of sinning against the virtue of justice, by allowing an expensive ointment to ...read more

  • The Most Painful Wound Of Jesus

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 9, 2022
     | 1,374 views

    Indeed, the crucifixion itself was unspeakably painful. Sagging down from the nails in His wrists, He could not take a breath. But there was more.

    Homily for Monday of Holy Week What was the greatest suffering of Jesus, as He gave His life to take away our sins and reconcile us to the Father? Doctor Barbet, in that masterwork A Doctor at Calvary, gives us a detailed and sometimes shocking picture of the Crucified Servant of God. When the ...read more

  • Little Chunks Of Doubt

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 17, 2022
     | 1,147 views

    Often what we perceive as doubt is not really that severe. We experience times in which faith in Christ seems overwhelmingly demanding.

    We may cluck our tongues and roll our eyes at Thomas in this snippet from John’s Gospel. “How can the unanimous testimony,” we wonder, “of those who saw Jesus that Easter evening still leave Thomas, absent without leave then, in doubt of the Resurrection?” At first glance he just looks irreparably ...read more

  • We Will Testify To Jesus No Matter What You Threaten

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 22, 2022
     | 1,151 views

    Jesus was the stone rejected by Sadducee and Pharisee alike, but His presence is the foundation stone for the Church He left behind to continue His mission.

    Saturday of Easter Week It’s remarkable that the same Sanhedrin council who, six weeks earlier, had been able to condemn Jesus to death for blasphemy, and then proceed to bribe or blackmail the Roman procurator to execute Him seems powerless in our first reading. They have brought the apostles to ...read more

  • Jerked Back Into Reality

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 23, 2022
     | 850 views

    The disciples were whipsawed into reality, that Christ was risen from death.

    Easter Tuesday One of the realities of life is that our little minds are quite capable of self-delusion, and on a grand scale. Most of the time we fool ourselves into thinking we understand what is going on around us–way more than we actually do understand. We kid ourselves that we are in ...read more

  • Witness Equals Martyr

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 23, 2022
     | 948 views

    When he opened his mouth, it was a powerful word that came forth. At the end of his speech, they had two choices.

    Monday of 3rd week of Easter I’d like to think that preaching has come a ways since the days of Stephen. If you read the rest of this chapter of Acts, you get the impression that Stephen had some kind of martyr complex. Remember that the word martyr in Greek means witness. He was so on-fire with ...read more

  • Get Jesus Into The Boat

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 30, 2022
     | 1,347 views

    Get Jesus back to the center of attention of the leaders and people, so that the chaos may be calmed and we can get to the task at hand.

    Today we are encouraged by the Scriptures to reflect on the Church, and how the Holy Spirit has, over twenty centuries, kept Christ’s church alive, witnessing to His Resurrection, and growing. We are also reminded that human beings, in our weakness, can impede that life, growth and ministry, but ...read more

  • Do You Understand What You Are Reading?

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 30, 2022
     | 1,936 views

    We read Scripture because we want to know more about God and His plan for us. But do we really understand?

    Thursday of the 3rd week in Easter It is no surprise that whenever someone is reading from the OT during NT times, he is probably reading from an Isaiah scroll. The only time that Jesus gave His disciples an extensive Bible lesson, He began with Moses and then the prophets and asked “was it not ...read more
