    Like Lightning Lighting Up The Sky Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 9, 2013
     | 3,140 views

    In the Christian life, with suffering, God gives us wordless and imageless insights that strengthen and confirm faith.

    Thursday of 32nd Week in Course Lumen Fidei To get a clearer understanding of today’s Gospel, we have to take it in context. First, Jesus is addressing the Pharisees, who wanted to know when the kingdom of God would come. Remember that this sect–really a kind of political party as ...read more

     | 2,829 views

    Mary's total dedication to God is paralleled in our lives because of the faithful presence of God in both.

    Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary 2013 Lumen Fidei The feast of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, our Memorial today, is not attested in the Scriptures, where Mary is first acknowledged at the Annunciation by Gabriel. Nor is it in any of the authentic Church Fathers. The ...read more

    Keep Calm And Carry On - A Sermon For Ash Wednesday

    Contributed by Michael Hopkins on Feb 17, 2013
     | 8,631 views

    A sermon for Ash Wednesday - for a UK congregation

    Joel 2:1-2 & 12-17 John 8:1-11 I’m beginning, totally unsuitably for Lent, with an expression of pride. I’m very proud of my collection of the complete set of Carry On films - it’s the earthy British humour of the 1960s and 1970s at its best (or worst, depending upon your point ...read more

    Jesus learned in his human nature that for God, all things are possible, through the words and example of his mother, Mary.

    Monday of 7th Week in Course Verbum Domini I find myself in today’s Gospel; perhaps many of us do. Perhaps it’s because so many of us have been parents of teenagers, that human pupa stage that seems designed to enrage adults. In today’s Gospel, the youngster is seen as actually ...read more

    The Unity Of The Whole Of Scripture Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 16, 2012
     | 4,077 views

    We can use the story of the finding of Jesus in the Temple to illustrate how the Scripture is best read as a whole, with the New Testament's meaning being fleshed out by its OT references.

    Solemnity of St Joseph 2012 Verbum Domini The Solemnity of St. Joseph is a very appropriate day to line out some ideas about the Word of God, and interpretation of the Word. We can easily focus on the “unity of the whole of Scripture,” which is the first of the three marks of ...read more

    What do the first two principles of biblical interpretation teach us about the Annunciation story?

    Solemnity of the Annunciation 2012 Verbum Domini When we pray together our profession of faith in a moment, the Missal instructs us to kneel for a moment (if we can) when we say that of the Son, “and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man.” John’s ...read more

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 22, 2014
     | 3,791 views

    Truth and faith are only possible when we share in a memory greater than the one we accumulate in our lifetime.

    Thursday of 3rd Week in Lent 2014 Truth Has Perished “Truth has perished; it is cut off from their lips.” Thus the words of Jeremiah about the people of Israel. He could be saying it about modern life in the United States of America. Oh, there’s plenty of information. Never ...read more

    Where does the solution to all our problems really come from? Does it come from here on earth? What does God have to do with national and personal deliverance from all our problems? Purpose: Let’s understand the political implications of Palm Sunday. Plan: Let’s look at Mark 11:1-11.

     | 3,180 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

     | 2,257 views

    Jesus really did rise from the dead and come back to harass the very people who betrayed him." …Harass your heart, that is, if you are withholding forgiveness from someone.

    Jim Friedrich shared that at the entrance to Jerusalem’s Church of All Nations, next to the Garden of Gethsemane, there is a sign warning every visitor: “NO EXPLANATIONS INSIDE THE CHURCH.” The sign is intended to discourage over-talkative tour guides but it’s also what Jesus practiced after his ...read more

     | 3,656 views

    Look, you need to know this man died. He was tortured and executed. It was awful.

    In the book, How to Disappear, there are true stories of people who faked their own deaths to collect on life insurance policies, or simply to start over. To catch them, specialists are hired. The book says many get caught by doing things like visiting their mother. Or, they chose a new name that ...read more

    We ask for the daily grace to walk the talk.

    Have you heard the one about the priest, the minister, and the rabbi?” A rabbi and a priest were talking about the perks of each job. The priest mentioned that he gets a rectory to live in that comes with a housekeeper and a cook, all paid for by the church. The rabbi responded by asking if ...read more

    The Epiphany Of The Lord

     | 1,508 views

    We have to expect to have epiphanies.

    I saw a comic strip that said, “The Three Wise Accountants” and one of them said to Mary and Joseph just before Jesus was to be born in the manger, “If you can hold off a week, you can deduct the child on your Year One Taxes.” We hear Isaiah 60:1 in our First Reading; “Your light has come,” ...read more

    In 1967, she prayed this prayer, “Father, I give my life to You. Whatever you ask of me, I accept. Just teach me to follow Jesus and to love as He loves.” The fire quickly spread, even to other Christian denominations.

    On Tesco's brand of Tiramisu dessert, printed on the bottom of the box, it says, “DO NOT TURN UPSIDE DOWN.”1—(too late!) I want to consider how the Holy Spirit has a way of turning things upside down. Like in the Acts of the Apostles in our First Reading, the devout Jews from every nation ...read more
