     | 5,465 views

    As preached at 8 a.m. Mass April 15 2012--revised Divine Mercy homily with comment on the accusation that the early Church was communist.

    Divine Mercy Sunday 2012 (As preached Sunday a.m.) Spirit of the Liturgy Before beginning I would like to respond to the folks who, in the past, have argued from today’s reading from the Acts of the Apostles that the early Church practiced communism. It is true that Acts records all of them ...read more

  • St Anselm Patron Of American Bishops

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 21, 2012
     | 2,414 views

    The Church is Incarnational, and must have both a sacred and secular existence, and yet must not become subservient to the state, whether kings or democratically elected tyrants who would make us do evil.

    St. Anselm Day April 21, 2011 If today’s lesson from Acts chapter 6 has any historical meaning at all, it is a confirmation that there have always been little fissures forming in the living stones that make up the Church. Early in our history, Greek-speaking converts to Judaism were ...read more

     | 3,092 views

    Both our faith and our reason must inform our study and preaching of Scripture.

    Monday of the 3rd Week of Easter Verbum Domini The breaking in of the Word of God into the closed-in Jewish culture of the first century was heavily resisted by the Jews.

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,535 views

    We can see in the writing of the story of Cornelius and Jesus's words about the sheepfold very helpful examples of the literal and spiritual senses of Scripture.

    Monday of 4th Week of Easter Verbum Domini The richness of today’s Scripture readings should suggest to us a couple of responses. First, we need several hours of study of the text and its meanings. Second, we should, in worshipful awe, spend a few more hours before the Blessed Sacrament ...read more

    We can learn love from Jesus and Mary

    Mother’s Day 2012 Spirit of the Liturgy To whom was Jesus preaching this incredible Last Supper sermon on love? Let’s make a short list: • Judas, the revolutionary and embezzler who had already sold Jesus out to the Jews • Simon, the Zealot, who most likely had a history ...read more

    To the two political views of the fictional "Julia," we must add a third in the spirit of Jesus

    Mothers Day 2012 Spirit of the Liturgy Just in time for Mothers’ Day, we have been presented with three visions of the future for the women of America. We should be thankful for the opportunity to choose from these visions. Two are social and political, the third, the one we just heard, is ...read more

  • Reflecting On The Dark Passages Of Scripture Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on May 12, 2012
     | 3,522 views

    As in the story of Judas, there are dark passages in the Bible, but they can help us if we use an interpretation which enables their meaning to emerge in the light of the mystery of Christ.

    Feast of St. Matthias 14 May 2012 Verbum Domini Today’s feast gives us an opportunity to reflect on one of the darkest moments in our salvation history. The crucifixion of Jesus was set up by a traitor, Judas “the Iscariot.” It also helps us to consider what the Holy Father and ...read more

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 1, 2012
     | 3,101 views

    Prayer is pre-eminent; the Word must inform our music; evangelization must be done, especially with the help of women.

    September 3 2012 St. Gregory the Great Verbum Domini The Book of Genesis envisions the creation of the world as more of a birthing than a creatio ex nihilo. We know that God created everything, and created it from nothing. But when the author of Genesis began his narrative, he picks up at a ...read more

  • Falling In Love And Giving Everything Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 3, 2012
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,802 views

    We fall in love with Jesus because we are needy and He needs nothing. We have nothing and He is pure gift. So we sing praise to God.

    September 9, 2012 Verbum Domini Why do so many, hearing the Good News of Jesus Christ, hesitate to believe it? Why do we, baptized and confirmed in Christ, sometimes fail to trust in His Word? Why do I, despite my understanding of my weakness and my need, turn my back on His call? The failure ...read more

  • Tolerance Vs Inculturation Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 8, 2012
     | 2,891 views

    The Church loves sinners but abhors sin; instead of accommodating itself to the world, and tolerating sin, it should adopt a habit of inculturation as a means of spreading the Gospel.

    10 September 2012 Monday of 23rd Sunday in Course Verbum Domini One of the most abused words in the English language is “tolerance.” These days it is often wedded to the word “diversity.” We live in a diverse culture, we are told, and so we are to understand and tolerate ...read more

  • Defender Of Religious Liberty Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 15, 2012
     | 4,066 views

    St Robert Bellarmine would be an excellent candidate for the patron of the Church in defense of religious liberty, as we face a determined political system who would destroy us.

    17 September 2012 St. Robert Bellarmine Verbum Domini Today’s saint is one who is not quoted in Verbum Domini by our Holy Father. Perhaps the reason is that Robert Bellarmine, who lived in the sixteenth and seventeenth century, was a controversial theologian in his time. We might say that ...read more

  • Sayings Of The Word Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 22, 2012
     | 3,612 views

    We need to understand the reason why some sayings of Jesus are put together as they are, sometimes logically, sometimes phonetically.

    Monday of 25th Week in Course Verbum Domini “Jesus is the Wisdom of God incarnate, he is his eternal Word who became a mortal man.” These words of our Holy Father end the prologue to his letter, Verbum Domini, and give depth to our readings today. The logia, or sayings of Jesus, were ...read more
