  • Who Are Those Guys?

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 29, 2024
     | 447 views

    Jesus Himself gives us the secret to winning the lifelong battle with evil.

    November 1 Feast of All Saints In the cult classic “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,” there is a great pursuit of the outlaw-heroes across the Old West. The forces of law and justice are relentless, exhausting the bank robbers. At one point the two stars of the show stop to look across miles ...read more

  • Making Present Christ's Law Of Love

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 29, 2024
     | 242 views

    In some way the prayer for or mention of the Philippians, in his mind, makes the folks in Philippi somehow present to him.

    Friday of the Thirtieth Week in Course Today’s Gospel can be entitled “the hierarchy of laws.” Jesus is the ultimate wise man—distinguished from the more common “wise guy” by asking a question that anybody in a non-mechanical society could feel reasonable. Not everyone owned an ox or ass; the poor ...read more

  • Shutting Down The Hypocrites, Especially Ourselves

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 30, 2024
     | 366 views

    Jesus, here in Mark’s Gospel, gives us a start on our understanding the proper response to hypocrisy.

    Thirty-first Sunday in Course 2024 How could you get a hypocrite to shut up? They are called “Karens” these days, which to me is an disrespectful misuse of a woman’s name. Nonetheless, no matter what you call that kind of behavior, pharisaical people are just about as irritating as one can be. ...read more

  • The Moment To Decide

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 2, 2024
     | 348 views

    Every generation has a defining moral question, often between life and death, but always between good and evil. In the nineteenth century, it was for the right to choose ownership of other humans, or against the exploitation of slaves.

    Wednesday of the Thirtieth Week in Course 2024 Today’s Gospel hits the lukewarm Christian right in the gut, if it first has an encounter with his head. Christ’s disciples have asked Him if there will be only a few humans saved. Jesus jumps right to the main point, telling them something more ...read more

  • Clever Sharing Of The Good News

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 5, 2024
     | 3,113 views

    Looking at the story of the wasteful servant without trying to be too specific can be helpful to us today.

    Friday of the 31st Week in Course 2024 Parables from Jesus struck the listeners as stories that might help them understand God’s kingdom. Often the real challenge is to look at the story as a whole, and ask what general lesson Jesus is trying to help us learn. The parable we just heard is one of ...read more

  • See What Jesus Does For His Faithful Ones

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 7, 2024
     | 427 views

    If Elijah’s prophetic gift would not bring the whole people back to proper worship and right living, then he would exercise it for only one pagan family:

    Thirty-second Sunday in Course 2024 Today’s Scripture readings have a laser-focus on the plight of the poor—especially widows and orphans—and the care that God wants to give them. That care, of course, is usually through the ministry of those who follow the second greatest commandment, “Love your ...read more

  • Jesus Christ Really Did Come In The Flesh And Is Coming Again

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 11, 2024
     | 347 views

    The clear fact is that all humans need to make themselves ready by faith and good works to be ready at any time for the general judgement, the return of Christ.

    Friday of the thirty-second week in course 2024 Let’s spend a moment with our Gospel passage to find from Church teaching what Jesus is not saying by way of St. Luke. There is a school of Christian thought that was popularized in the Left Behind series of books and flicks. It’s called ...read more

  • Unsurpassed In Distress

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 13, 2024
     | 349 views

    If we are not very careful, we could see today’s readings from God’s Word as panic-inducing warnings causing fear and hatred

    Thirty-Third Sunday in Course 2024 When I see the dread words about “a time unsurpassed in distress since nations began until that time,” there comes to mind from my own family’s history several events that were so advertised before they happened. In fact, we just completed an election cycle that ...read more

  • Yes, Jesus Is Certainly Lord And King

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 18, 2024
     | 498 views

    Our solemnity today is that of Christ the King. When we claim that Christ is the King of the Universe, we support that claim with a passage that seems to be quite crazy.

    Christ the King Once upon a time in a land not far from here, there was a choice to be made for the leader of the land. A woman was placed in contention for the prime leader of the whole nation. Her platform was not well-defined, but one thing was clear from every word out of her mouth. She had no ...read more

  • We Reject Plan A And God Effects Plan B, Which Is Sweeter

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 19, 2024
     | 243 views

    The Father sent His Son as His perfect image and as the perfect human to take our death upon Himself so that He might earn for us His own eternal life.

    Friday of the 33rd Week in Course 2024 The Book we call “Revelations” is surely one of the most complex literature items ever written or read. Yet these words have within them a sure picture of the reality of God’s plan. To state that plan simply: God created humans in His own image and gave ...read more

  • Rescued By The Lamb, The Good Guys Win.

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 24, 2024
     | 486 views

    All the incidental stuff like Gog and Magog and the Beast and the Great Whore of Babylon will not matter then, because they will have been among those rolled up in the great Rug of Evil and thrown into the flaming pit.

    Friday of the 34th Week in Course 2024 Probably a few metric tons of ink have been spilled over the generations as scholas and preachers tried to make sense of the Revelations of St. John. But a few things in this murky and often confusing part of God’s Word come through to us quite clearly. The ...read more

  • Living Like Christ Or Like Scrooge?

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 26, 2024
     | 459 views

    Like last Sunday, today’s pericope looks at statements made by Jesus not long before His arrest and passion, as Christ focuses our attention on the “last days.”

    First Sunday of Advent 2024 One of the most obvious signs that our Western culture was at a crisis point, and sliding or crashing in the wrong direction happened about forty years ago when the Advent season, which begins this Sunday, was turned into a pre-Christmas season. As time passed, it ...read more

  • Upside Down--The Drama Of The Church Of God

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 2, 2024
     | 366 views

    The world turned upside down. Over and over again did this drama repeat.

    Friday of the First Week of Advent 2024 G. K. Chesterton was fond of writing how history seems to turn the plans of humans upside down and backwards. He tells the story of Constantine summoning the bishops to judge the teachings of Arius, in the year 325. The priest Arius taught that Jesus is Son ...read more

  • Peace Of Righteousness

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 4, 2024
     | 360 views

    When the people turn to God in praise and right living, in true justice, they will know the fullness of peace, and God will be in their midst to console and empower them.

    Second Sunday of Advent 2024 The prophet Baruch was assistant to the prophet Jeremiah. His mentor is associated mostly with the final days of the Kingdom of Judah, and his prophecies were generally so dire that we now call such language a “jeremiad.” Wow. Imagine several hundred years from now ...read more

  • How We Can Be Always Happy

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 9, 2024
     | 245 views

    How can you be happy in this life AND in the life to come? That's the question of the ages.

    Friday of the 2nd week in Advent 2024 When we try to learn God’s will from the daily readings given us by the Holy Spirit, it can be very useful to start with the Psalmist’s words. Today we are given psalm 1, which is chosen for that prominent position because it sums up everything in that ...read more
