    Worship, ethics and law may not come loose from each other, or man is devalued.

    Feast of St. Vincent de Paul The Spirit of the Liturgy 27 September 2010 How many of us, faced with the loss of all our property, and even all our children, would immediately fall to the ground and worship? Fall to the ground, certainly; but worship? Job does not sound like anyone I know. But ...read more

  • New Year’s And The Way To God’s Kingdom

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 31, 2009

     | 6,001 views

    Force, violence and recession are all just external means to get attention, but the way to bring God’s kingdom begins with a conversion of heart.

    New Year’s Homily Isaiah 4:2-3 The words from Isaiah today are the comforting part of a longer passage that I would like to quote in full. Isaiah is speaking for God, and talking about the day of judgement: Seven women will take hold of one man on that day, saying: “We will eat our own food and ...read more

  • Worship: Cosmic But Rooted In History Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 9, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,302 views

    Worship must be cosmic and rooted in history, more than an act of socialization and focused on the act of becoming images and likenesses of God

    Monday of 28th Week in Course Spirit of the Liturgy Columbus Day There are two kinds of spiritual slavery–that horrible condition St. Paul warns against in today’s reading. The first is a slavish obedience to law, the kind of nit-picky legalism that the Pharisees specialized in, and ...read more

  • Gather Up All Things In Christ Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 28, 2016
     | 3,359 views

    We generate history, not by politics and war, but by service to the poor and helpless.

    Thursday of the 30th Week in Course 2016 Joy of the Gospel Every time we turn a page in the New Testament, we are–if we are sensitive–struck by how counter-intuitive the Christian message is. Consider St. Paul’s life. He was, by his own account, a super-Jew. He observed every ...read more

  • Evangelizing The Cities Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 28, 2015
     | 3,697 views

    Just as post-Resurrection Judaism created a culture that rejected the Gospel, so modern society tries to make people incapable of receiving Christ. But we must bear witness, especially in the cities.

    Thursday of the Second Week in Lent Joy of the Gospel Last Sunday we heard Jesus tell his key disciples not to disclose their vision of Him transfigured until He would rise from the dead. There was a good reason for that. The Jewish mindset, which had been formed by prophets like Jeremiah, ...read more

     | 4,001 views

    Christians must discern whether changes in the culture are actually movements of the Spirit, or not.

    Thursday of the 3rd Week in Advent 2014 Joy of the Gospel Yesterday we began the second phase of our Advent preparation. We ceased calling on Christ to return in glory, and we began our proximate preparation for the commemoration of the humble birth of the righteous branch who grew up to reign as ...read more

  • Resurrection--Focal Point Of Our Music Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 23, 2011
     | 2,550 views

    We must strive for renewal of our liturgical music from within

    Monday in the Octave of Easter 25 April 2011 Spirit of the Liturgy The Gospel today documents a coverup. It was not the first coverup in history, but it certainly is the one with the worst results. The Resurrection of Jesus from the dead, and the simultaneous appearance of a number of dead ...read more

  • Year Of Faith And Evangelization Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 14, 2012
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,852 views

    Despite the many forces arrayed against the Church's mission, we must follow the Gospel command to bring the Word of God to everyone.

    Monday of 15th Week in Course July 16, 2012 Our Lady of Mt Carmel The Holy Father has announced the year of faith, to begin later this year with the next Synod of Bishops, and he has designated it as a time to dedicate ourselves to the New Evangelization. This may seem untimely. After all, the ...read more

  • The Power Of The Word Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 10, 2012
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,550 views

    The story of Elisha and Naaman teaches us about the Word of Evangelization, the Word of direction, and the Word of testimony, all powerful in the saving of souls.

    Monday of the 3rd Week in Lent Verbum Domini At least as early as the time of St Gregory of Nyssa in the 4th century (On the Baptism of Christ), the Fathers of the Church were seeing this healing of Naaman the Syrian as a type of Baptism. The story is a compelling reminder of the impotence of ...read more

  • The Twin Loves And Saint Louis Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 6, 2019
     | 2,367 views

    Whatever our state of life, we are called to live and die in love. We are called to follow Jesus and to become saints ourselves.

    January 10, 2019 St. Louis of Toulouse Every day we wake up, we wake up to the understanding that our being able to wake up is a divine gift. Every night when we retire saying our night prayers, we make an act of confidence in God, trusting that if we die that night, we are in the care of the ...read more

  • The Value Of Interreligious Dialogue Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 1, 2016
     | 3,675 views

    "Evangelization and interreligious dialogue, far from being opposed, mutually support and nourish one another."

    Thursday in Second Week of Easter 2016 Joy of the Gospel Today we hear the story of Peter’s witness before the Sanhedrin in the months following the first Pentecost. To the authorities who had forbade preaching about Jesus, Peter reminds them that the Law of God goes before any human law. ...read more

  • Faith And The Two Meanings Of Works Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 14, 2017
     | 3,760 views

    Faith, above all, is a gift of God. Now it’s a gift that he pours out liberally on all humans, but it will not save our souls unless we cooperate with it.

    Thursday of 28th Week in Course 2017 Reformation Revolution Saints John de Brébeuf and Isaac Jogues Our readings today say the same thing in different ways. St. Paul’s letter to the Romans was really the first work of systematic theology. It positions the saving work of Our Lord in the context of ...read more

  • The Word Does Not Accommodate To The Culture Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 23, 2012
     | 4,340 views

    There is a close relationship between the testimony of Scripture and the witness given by the lives of believers.

    Monday of 12th Week in Course June 25, 2012 Verbum Domini Exactly why were the people of God thrown out of the land of God? Exactly why were the chosen people, the Jews, supplanted in the plan of salvation by the Catholic Church? And why, we should all ask, are we now being hammered by secular ...read more

    I think we learn several things about gratitude when we look at the story of the ten lepers and Jesus.

    Cultivating a Grateful Heart Luke 17:11-19 INTRODUCTION... Inventions (http://inventors.about.com) We live in an amazing world. We have so much and so many things to make our lives easier.
