  • Last Or First? Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 28, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,512 views

    At the beginning of the new year and decade we must ask ourselves if there is any hint of anti-Christ in our hearts.

    New Year’s Eve 2019 Last or First? Our holy Scripture today is taken from the apostle John. The Gospel teaches about the beginning, and the letter tells us about the end. And both beginning and end must be centered on Our Lord Jesus Christ. In fact, everything we do in the new year, the new decade ...read more

  • Party On! Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 31, 2019

     | 2,673 views

    We all know that there were parties last evening, some that lasted well into the morning hours. But I venture to say that these parties were not celebrations of religious faith, such as the ones implied by today’s Scriptures.

    Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God Party On! Today’s Scriptures are so brief that if our minds are not focused, we might not remember any of them. I’ve wondered if that was an act of mercy on the part of those who back in the 1960's put together the three-year cycle of readings, and saw New ...read more

  • The Love Of The Trinity Shown In The Compassion Of Christ Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 4, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,135 views

    In our lives, love takes form as self-giving. In this, we imitate Our Lord, who humbled Himself and gave Himself for our salvation.

    Tuesday after the Epiphany 2020 In these four short verses penned two thousand years ago by St. John, there are nine repetitions of some form of the noun or verb “to love.” What is love? St. Thomas Aquinas tells us that Love is the proper name of the Holy Spirit. Just as the Logos, the Son who is ...read more

  • The Gospel Succeeds Even In An Age Of Fecklessness Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 11, 2020
     | 2,642 views

    We need to continue on the path we were set on by Jesus long ago–the path to holiness. That means giving up everything of this world that keeps us from imaging Jesus and Mary.

    Tuesday of the First Week in Course 2020 Saint Mark gets right to the point, just like the high priest Eli. But Saint Mark gets the whole picture, and Eli does not. Mark’s Gospel is designed to demonstrate to his Roman audience–and us–that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and Messiah. Look how few ...read more

  • Jesus Was Baptized "to Fulfill All Righteousness" Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 12, 2020
     | 2,824 views

    We might make the mistake of thinking that Jesus stopped growing in the Spirit at His baptism.

    The Baptism of the Lord Jesus Christ 2020 In today’s Gospel the words of John the Baptist could just as well have begun “Jesus, this makes no sense!” He rightly senses at the Jordan River, as he did three months before he was born, when Mary visited his mother Elizabeth, that he is in the presence ...read more

  • Who Claims Our Devotion? Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 18, 2020
     | 1,648 views

    Our devotion is not to a book, not even to a church building, and not even to our fellow parishioners. We derive our identity as Catholics from our devotion to the lord of the Sabbath, the lord of our lives, Our Lord, Jesus the Christ.

    Feast of St. Agnes 2020 Tuesday of 2nd week in Course For generations after the Hebrews settled in the Holy Land, they acknowledged only God, the Lord, as their leader. But in the time of the prophet-priest Samuel, these tribes began to worry him about a king. The whole point of the covenant God ...read more

  • Not To Be Called Rabbi, Father Or Teacher? How's That? Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 25, 2020
     | 2,004 views

    Not only did the Son of Man come to serve, not to be served, He insisted that the ones who follow Him take that as the pattern of life.

    Tuesday of the 3rd Week in Course 2020 St. Thomas Aquinas This Gospel from a late chapter in St. Matthew’s Gospel has caused a great deal of ink to be spilled, especially in the dialogue or dispute between Catholics and Protestants. Catholics call priests “Father,” and the pope the “Holy Father.” ...read more

  • Talitha Cumi Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 1, 2020
     | 5,899 views

    Engage all your senses as you walk with Jesus and His other disciples into the town of Capernaum by the big lake.

    Tuesday of the 4th Week in Course 2020 Tal'itha cu'mi If, with Ignatius of Loyola, we meditate for a while on the Scripture we hear every day proclaimed at Mass, and do so with our well-honed imaginations fully awake, we see so much more than the words first suggest. It is particularly ...read more

  • Trust Not In Princes Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 8, 2020
     | 2,906 views

    The Scriptures enjoin us not to trust in princes, because God’s word is very clear about human minds and wills. We are weak, and so we sin.

    Tuesday of 5th Week in Course 2020 Our Lady of Lourdes This is a grand tableau from the First Book of Kings: Solomon has spent years constructing the Temple of the Lord, and here he is dedicating it to the worship of the God of Israel. But even he knew that the God who had called Moses, used signs ...read more

  • You Just Don't Get It, Do You? Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 15, 2020
     | 3,707 views

    They are so hungry that they miss the point Jesus is trying to make. Will we miss that point, too?

    Tuesday of the 6th Week in Course 2020 “You Just Don’t Get It” I’ve been a teacher pretty much all my career, at all levels except elementary school. So I can empathize with St. James in his epistle, and–although it’s weird to say it–with Jesus as He tries to help His disciples understand the ...read more

  • Mardi Gras Or Shrove Tuesday?

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 22, 2020
     | 1,654 views

    The season we begin tomorrow is a time to draw near to God so that He can draw near to us.

    Tuesday of the 7th Week in Course Mardi Gras Passions. We don’t hear much about that plural noun lately. Oh, the word “passion” turns up in seamy novels and videos, I suppose. And those of us for whom the Catholic religion, the word “passion” stirs up thoughts of the torture Jesus had to undergo ...read more

  • The Way Out Of The Hole We're In Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 29, 2020
     | 3,462 views

    Here we are healed of sin, nourished with the Eucharist, anointed for service and mission, and ultimately commended into the hands of the Father when we finish our earthly journey.

    Tuesday of the First Week in Lent 2020 The Way Out of the Hole We’re In As we continue in this first week our Lenten journey, our informal pre-Easter retreat, it’s good to consider just where we are, or would be, without Jesus Christ and His Church. We start out our life in a kind of hole, or ...read more

  • Witnessing To The Culture Of Death Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 7, 2020
     | 2,318 views

    We must work and pray, as St. Benedict told us to do. Work for the spread of the kingdom in our families and communities, and vote as a Christian must, for godly men and women who will resist the culture of death and legislate for life, peace, and goodness.

    Tuesday of the 2nd Week in Lent 2020 For our first reading today, I have chosen to begin earlier in the first chapter of Isaiah than the Lectionary suggests, and to add the verses the Lectionary omits. The Lenten readings take a great deal of the very long prophecies of Isaiah, but they omit ...read more

  • Three Young Men, Trust, Epidemics And The Saints Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 13, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,244 views

    It is truly time to emulate Our Lord and the great saints, who trusted in God and helped others who were in need or in peril.

    Tuesday of the 3rd Week in Lent 2020 St. Patrick and Three Young Men and Trust When you pick up a King James Bible and read this story from the Book of Daniel, of the trust three young prophet-exiles had in their God, and their deliverance from the fiery furnace, you read this passage: “Therefore ...read more

  • The Water And The Temple Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 21, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,032 views

    Those are the healing waters that can always save those who are soaked with them, precisely because this sacrament is the visible sign of the power of Christ, who is the real minister of every baptism.

    Tuesday of the 4th week of Lent 2020 Water I always recommend to those who can make pilgrimage that they take a week or more with a Christian guide in the Holy Land–Israel and Jordan–so that they can understand the people and places we read about in the Sacred Scriptures. The Christians living in ...read more
