  • The Vocation Of Human Development Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 18, 2009
     | 3,105 views

    The vocation to human development comes from God, but prophetically also comes from those who are least developed; we must respond by sharing Christ with them or they are not fully developed.

    Feast of St. Matthew Sept 21, 2009 Caritas in Veritate The call of St. Matthew is, in a sense, the call of every Christian. We have looked upon human development as a call to grow the entire human person, and the entire human family, toward its full meaning. This is an integrated development of ...read more

  • Profit, A Means, Not An End Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 26, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,097 views

    The attitude of a child is the attitude of knowing you are incomplete, and need to grow, to change, to take the risk to be wrong.

    September 28, 2009 Caritas in Veritate The emphasis Jesus constantly puts on being childlike puzzled me until I read Carol Dweck’s great book Mindset. A child knows–perhaps without being able to articulate it–that she needs to change, learn and grow. A child knows his own incompleteness. As we ...read more

  • Promoting Authentic Human Development In An Outsourced World Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,560 views

    New social justice problems have emerged in recent years, straining systems of insurance and welfare. How shall we as Christians respond?

    Monday of 28th week in course October 12, 2009 Caritas in Veritate The queen of the South and the men of Nineveh will rise up and condemn the generation of pharisees for not believing in Jesus. At the end of time, they will also condemn the pharisees of our day for not believing in Jesus or His ...read more

  • Who Are The Great Ones? Who Deserve The Awards?

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 10, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,983 views

    Saints are counter-cultural; saints are ordinary people doing extraordinary things that most people find crazy.

    October 11, 2009 28th Sunday in Course Perhaps some of you were as puzzled and shocked as I was last week when a prestigious, high-profile international award was announced, and the winner was something of a surprise. Just a short time on the job, doing something entirely new, with the usual ...read more

  • Encouragement And Consolation, But Not Comfort Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 8, 2013
     | 4,364 views

    God gives us abundant consolations in our ministry, but does not grant us the privilege to be comfortable.

    The God of Consolation Monday of Tenth Week in Course 2013 St. Paul seems almost obsessed in today’s reading with the word paraklesis. In seven verses he uses some form of the word at least nine times. Paul is certainly trying to tell the Corinthians, and us, something ...read more

  • A Farewell Homily

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 8, 2013
     | 6,510 views

    Always remember that the task of the Church is to attract non-believers to Jesus Christ in the Church.

    Tenth Sunday in Ordinary Time 2013 “farewell” In the pre-Christian world, there was an inchoate understanding of human life after earthly death. The Hebrew’s picture of human existence in the nether world was one of gloom, shadow, even an inability to praise God. I think that the young man ...read more

  • Sing To The Lord A New/Old Song Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 15, 2013
     | 2,982 views

    The Liturgy, especially the Mass, is a point of contact between the human and divine

    Monday of 11th Week in Course 2013 Sacrosanctum Concilium 1 “O sing to the LORD a new song, for he has done marvelous things! His right hand and his holy arm have gotten him victory. Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth; break forth into joyous song and sing praises!” The ...read more

  • The Mass And Martyrdom Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 22, 2013
     | 3,152 views

    The fortnight for religious freedom is a time to get back to basics and understand our history, our worship, and our mission to the world

    June 24, 2013 Sacrosanctum Concilium Today we celebrate, with a solemnity, one of the three critical birthdays recognized by the Church. These nativities are those of Jesus–of course–the Blessed Virgin Mary, and now St. John the Baptist. I’ve noted in other homilies that the ...read more

  • The True Spirit Of Independence

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 28, 2013
     | 2,692 views

    We don't need American Exceptionalism as much as Jesus Exceptionalism, that liberates the whole human person.

    Over the last few years I have heard a lot of people talking about “American Exceptionalism.” That is a theme of commentators like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity, but it is also something that many politicians on the left are drawn to–they want to make America exceptional by the ...read more

  • The Presence Of Christ And The Bridal Dialogue Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 29, 2013
     | 2,644 views

    Liturgy is a celebration of the presence of God in our midst, and we respond by participating in the dialogue between the Bride and the Bridegroom

    Monday of the 13th Week in Course Sacrosanctum Concilium The presence of the Lord changes everything. We see this today when we recall the presence of God to Abraham on the eve of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, a catastrophe caused by their widespread acceptance of sexual abuse. But for ...read more

  • The Church, A Place Of Beauty, Goodness, Truth Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 5, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,198 views

    We need to understand both meanings of church, and how the beauty found in a church can attract unbelievers to Christ.

    Monday of 14th Week in Course Sacrosanctum Concilium Jacob, following in the steps of his grandfather Abraham, was careful as he moved through the land of Canaan to identify special places of the divine presence. One of these is Bethel, which means “house of God.” There Jacob had a ...read more

  • Freely Must You Give Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 5, 2013
     | 5,164 views

    Like St. Benedict, we must live simply if we are to successfully share the gospel of Jesus.

    The great saints, like St. Benedict whom we celebrate today, bear witness that the words of today’s Gospel are not just for the first century. They are timeless instructions on our work of evangelism. Those who spread the good news are doing so as Jesus did. The effectiveness of the Church ...read more

  • Moved In The Gut To Write A Blank Check For An Enemy

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 7, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,186 views

    Our Understanding of God's Love moves us to repent of our sins, forgive as we are forgiven, and live a life of gift to convert others.

    Fifteenth Sunday in Course 2013 For nine years I had the privilege, joy, and occasional discomfort of teaching moral theology to a class of tenth graders at a local Catholic high school. Right at the top of the proud moments was an incident that happened when Archbishop Gomez visited my class. ...read more

  • Flesh And Spirit And Cleverness For The Gospel

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 7, 2013
     | 5,506 views

    We must listen to the Spirit of God rather than our weak minds and wills so that we can bear the fruits of the Spirit and with cleverness spread God's kingdom.

    Today’s Scripture readings offer a number of challenges and difficulties to the Christian. On the face of it, it appears that Jesus is applauding a dishonest steward’s actions in cheating his employer. Worse, He seems to be telling His disciples that the ends justify the means. Of ...read more

  • The Yoke And The Burden

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 13, 2013
     | 6,670 views

    What does it mean that Jesus imposes a light yoke and easy burden?

    The short passage we just heard from St. Matthew can be interpreted on many levels, but I’d like to focus on what the original meaning probably was. The image given is of a pair of oxen, tied together with a heavy wooden yoke, and harnessed to a plow. Jesus promises a yoke that is easier, ...read more
