  • Faith, Anchored In The Promise To Abraham Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 7, 2013
     | 3,160 views

    Mary anchored her faith in the promise God made to Abraham; faith is a response to a "Thou" who calls us by name.

    Holy Name of Mary 2012 Lumen Fidei In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, 27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. 28 And he came to her and said, "Hail, full of grace, the ...read more

  • Woman, Your Faith Has Saved You Series

     | 5,693 views

    We can learn much about faith by contrasting the behavior of the woman with the ointment and the Pharisee who invited Jesus to dinner.

    What did faith do to save this woman? Why did she go in peace? We can learn much by contrasting her behavior, as Jesus did, with that of the Pharisee. First, she recognized her sin, whatever it was. And, second she did not discount the sin; she took responsibility for it. The Pharisee did not ...read more

  • Seed, Soil, Sower, Rain

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 27, 2014
     | 4,358 views

    We need to pay attention to the condition of our soil, but we also need to spend time daily preparing and sowing.

    Fifteenth Sunday in Course 2014 Seed, Soil, Sower, Rain Today’s OT reading went by so fast that you might forget its importance. That’s not the lector’s fault: the Church gives us only two verses. Let’s listen to the Word of God in the longer version beginning four verses ...read more

  • Mission And Suffering Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 29, 2014
     | 3,167 views

    We must not marvel that we suffer pain and persecution when we carry the message of Christ to our culture.

    Thursday of the 14th Week in Course Lumen Fidei Pop singers and bands engage in a ritual–they all do. There’s a warmup act, usually a second or third rate band. It’s their Introit and Gloria, except the praise is of the human act to follow. There’s audience ...read more

  • After All, I Didn't Kill Anybody

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 9, 2014
     | 2,772 views

    There is a good reason to avoid the near occasions of sin, but not even that is enough to make us the image of Christ.

    “What’s bothering you so much? After all, I didn’t kill anybody!” That lame excuse is often given to people who have seen another doing wrong. The wrong action could be anything short of murder. Maybe it’s a so-called “white lie,” told by somebody to ...read more

  • Conceiving Iniquity And Bringing Forth Wind Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 12, 2014
     | 3,854 views

    We learn from bitter experience how wrong it is to ignore God's will and do things our own way. If this leads to pain, even the pain can be a way to focus us on the right way.

    Thursday of 15th Week in Course Lumen Fidei Let’s be frank about today’s reading from Isaiah, because he is speaking about a Hebrew people who did not do God’s will. They chased after what he calls “other lords”–the Baals and Astartes. They engaged in all ...read more

  • Mary's Fulfillment In Faith Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 18, 2014
     | 4,097 views

    Jesus broke the long cycle of apostasy, trouble, repentance and deliverance by creating a Church that would be the light to the nations until He returns.

    Commemoration of Ignatius Loyola 2014 Lumen Fidei If you have ever watched a potter throw a pitcher or bowl on a wheel, you can relate to the image that Jeremiah is using in the prophecy. For weeks now we have been reading the history of Israel and Judah as they frequently ignored the Law of God ...read more

  • Hate The Sin; Love The Sinner

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 20, 2014
     | 3,094 views

    If we are to effectively witness the Gospel to the world, regarding all kinds of evil, and living virtuous lives, we must do exactly as God has done to us: love the sinner and hate the sin.

    It’s amazing how similar the climate in the Holy Land is to the climate here in South Texas, especially in the summer. The figs in our back yard are ripening, and I understand that this hot month in Palestine is also the season for ripe figs. The Scriptures are right even on agricultural ...read more

  • Your Elevator Talk

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 29, 2014
     | 2,553 views

    We need to take St. Peter Chrysologus as a model for our witnessing, and be able to tell our witness to Christ and the Church in less than a minute.

    July 30 2014 St Peter Chrysologus Today’s Gospel must be specially important to the Church, because we heard it on Sunday, and Monday, and again today. Because it is so brief, we might be tempted to think otherwise, that it is forgettable. But we forget it at our peril, at the peril of our ...read more

  • New Covenant Of Faith In Christ Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 1, 2014
     | 3,631 views

    The final homily in the series: how God solves the REAL problem of society.

    Thursday of the 18th Week in Course Lumen Fidei A few years ago, the bishops of the U.S. issued a statement on relations with Jews that, without much thought, referred to the Mosaic covenant with the Jews as enduring forever, or some such language. My friend, E. Michael Jones, responded by ...read more

  • God Is In His Holy Place

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 13, 2014
     | 3,154 views

    Jesus gives us the power and strength to grow in virtue and spread the word of His salvation.

    The Introit of today’s Holy Sacrifice affirms that “God is in His holy place, the God who makes those of one mind to dwell in a house: He will give virtue and fortitude to His people.” Where is this holy place in which God dwells? Is it the same as the place where those who are ...read more

  • The Perils Of Contentment

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 14, 2014
     | 2,873 views

    Contentment is a trap, because it keeps us from growing in ability and interior commitment.

    Recently we were viewing one of the original episodes of the Twilight Zone. A successful but elderly actor was ruminating over his long career, and his multiple marriages, and told his butler a secret. He said that in his whole life, he had only one length of time in which he had felt true ...read more

  • No One Is Excluded From The Joy Of The Lord. Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 16, 2014
     | 5,449 views

    The joy of the Gospel and the impediments to enjoying the Gospel.

    St. Pius X 2014 Evangelii Gaudium “The joy of the gospel fills the hearts and lives of all who encounter Jesus. Those who accept his offer of salvation are set free from sin, sorrow, inner emptiness and loneliness. With Christ joy is constantly born anew.” Last November, Pope Francis ...read more

  • How Good It Feels To Come Back To Him Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 23, 2014
     | 3,076 views

    In St. Augustine we see the paradigm of the sinner become saint.

    Feast of St. Augustine 2014 Evangelii Gaudium As we begin our reflections on Pope Francis’s exhortation, Evangelii Gaudium, we happily find the cosmic convergence of these greetings from St. Paul to the Corinthians and the words of St. Matthew’s Gospel with the annual commemoration of ...read more

  • Taking The Lowest Place

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 24, 2014
     | 2,674 views

    We take the lowest place to imitate the Trinity

    The term “Trinity” does not appear even once in the Sacred Scriptures. Theophilus of Antioch used it to describe God about 150 years after Christ’s death and resurrection, so it may have come into usage some time before that. What it means is that God exists as one God, one ...read more
