  • The Ascension Of Jesus

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on May 1, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,620 views

    Let go to go

    The Ascension marks the beginning of a new phase in Christ’s relationship to humanity, kind of a "spiritual presence of the absence“ for baptized believers. After all, “Christianity was founded upon the loss of a body,” writes the Jesuit historian Michel de Certeau, what he calls “an ...read more

  • Our Relationship With Our Jewish Brothers Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 14, 2017
     | 2,712 views

    ‘Dialogue and friendship with the children of Israel are part of the life of Jesus’ disciples.'

    Thursday of Easter Week 2017 Joy of the Gospel I have often been amazed as I have spent the last three years reflecting on Pope Francis’s encyclical Joy of the Gospel, how the Thursday Scriptures mesh so well with the various themes the Holy Father visits. Today he is writing about our ...read more

     | 3,428 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

  • Harden Not Your Hearts Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 10, 2015
     | 3,517 views

    Not to share one's wealth with the poor is stealing from them.

    Thursday in the First Week in Course 2015 Joy of the Gospel The two NT readings we have heard today are linked by a single notion expressed in the words “moved with pity.” Jesus looked on this poor leper and, in the Greek, became splagchnistheis. This is something we have all ...read more

  • Reflection B.8 / Does God Have A Purpose In Coronavirus? / Isaiah 24, Isaiah Foresees Global Environmental Destruction

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on May 11, 2020
     | 1,657 views

    Isaiah foresaw global environmental destruction. That's what we have today.

    People often talk about ratios. We have student-teacher ratio, price-earnings ratio, debt-GDP ratio, power-weight ratio and so on. I’d like to propose a ‘significance-study ratio’ to highlight significant passages of Scripture which we overlook. Today’s passage is one of them. World leaders and ...read more

  • First Sunday Of Lent- B -- "he Was Among Wild Beasts, And The Angels Ministered To Him.”

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Feb 19, 2021
     | 1,983 views

    It turns out that the devil is knocking at her door and she says, “I never dreamed he’d have blue eyes and blue jeans.”

    “He was among wild beasts, and the angels ministered to him.” In the Greek, these were dangerous animals. These wild animals can remind us that dangers surrounded Jesus all through his life. And ours. e.g. At a United States Army post in the desert of Kuwait, Protestant Chaplain (Major) Barbara ...read more

  • Speaking The Truth From Our Heart Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 30, 2016
     | 3,856 views

    To speak from the heart means that our hearts must not just be on fire, but also enlightened by the fullness of revelation

    Thursday of 17th Week in Course In our two and a half year look at the “Joy of the Gospel,” we have been considering Pope Francis’ words about preaching. Today we have two parallel readings about the response to the preaching of Jeremiah and John the Baptist, and on the surface, ...read more

  • Being Close To The Poor Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 5, 2015
     | 3,887 views

    'No one must say that they cannot be close to the poor because their own lifestyle demands more attention to other areas.'

    Thursday of 2nd week in Advent 2015 Joy of the Gospel The passage from Isaiah we just heard is from what is often called “Second” Isaiah, probably a disciple of the original Isaiah who wrote during and immediately following the Babylonian exile. It is full of hope; from this we find ...read more

  • Deficiencies That Need Healing By The Gospel Of Joy Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 21, 2015
     | 3,406 views

    Both Christian and secular cultures will benefit by understanding the Joy of the Gospel, but the Church must approach different cultures with respect.

    Thursday of the First Week in Lent Joy of the Gospel Today we hear from Jesus a restatement of the Golden Rule: “whatever you wish that men would do to you, do so to them; for this is the law and the prophets.” And this is Torah, this is the prophetic message. We want people to treat ...read more

  • God's Plan Is Best Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 18, 2015
     | 4,476 views

    Like the eunuch from Ethiopia, we must be open to God's plan in Christ.

    Thursday of 3rd Week of Easter 2015 Joy of the Gospel The Father was surely drawing this Ethiopian to Jesus, and–not by luck–deacon Phillip was on the same road as the African’s chariot. The eunuch had been in Jerusalem to pray and study, so he was either a Jew or an admirer of ...read more

  • The Joy Of The Gospel And Freedom From Slavery Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 9, 2016
     | 4,116 views

    We must spread the joy of the Gospel as we fight all kinds of enslavement.

    Thursday of First Week in Course 2016 Joy of the Gospel I can’t imagine what it is to be a slave, or, for that matter, like Lincoln, a slave-owner. But all of us have sinned, and many have been addicted to one sin or the other. That’s the worst kind of slavery. The nation of Israel ...read more

  • Neither A Slave Nor A Slave-Owner Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 13, 2016
     | 3,463 views

    We must stand up for the freedom of the Gospel and the rights of pre-born humans.

    Thursday of First Week in Course 2016 Joy of the Gospel I can’t imagine what it is to be a slave, or, for that matter, like Lincoln, a slave-owner. But all of us have sinned, and many have been addicted to one sin or the other. That’s the worst kind of slavery. The nation of Israel ...read more

  • Led Into Temptation Series

    Contributed by Aneel Aranha on Feb 22, 2021
     | 854 views

    In our Lord’s Prayer, we beseech God not to lead us into temptation. Can he? Does he?

    Scripture Reading: Matthew 6:7-15 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. “This, then, is how you should pray: “‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed ...read more

  • Jonah And The Call To Convert The Nations Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 20, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,901 views

    Isn’t God’s mercy good news for all of us? He’s forgiven the sins of my youth, and, yes, even my old age.

    3rd Sunday in Course 2021 Poor Jonah. We can hardly blame him. God tells him to go convert the people and rulers of Nineveh, heart of the Assyrian empire. You see, the Assyrians were for about six centuries the scourge of the ancient Middle East, kind of a cross between the Huns, the Vandals and ...read more

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 2, 2014
     | 2,241 views

    People need to hear the word of God and to see a vision of His plan in order to nurture both faith and love in their hearts, and to bring Christians together.

    Thursday of First Week in Course 2014 Lumen Fidei Everyone who loves the parent loves the child, so we can’t say we love God and avoid loving our neighbor. We are all children of God, so we must love one another. In fact, one of the main reasons we come to hear the word and share the Body ...read more
