    The Days Vanish Like Smoke

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 20, 2022
     | 1,204 views

    The young make mistakes, and if they don’t have a strong and self-controlled father figure in their lives, they often make rash decisions and hurt themselves and others in the act.

    Saturday of the 25th Week in Course 2022 When we read this portion of the Wisdom book of Qoheleth/Ecclesiastes, it is always wise itself to remember who is writing it to whom. The “preacher,” Qoheleth in Hebrew, is a wise man of advanced years. The reader or listener is redundantly called, “O ...read more

    Colorful Marriages

    Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Dec 6, 2019
     | 2,172 views

    I love a chocolate and vanilla twist soft yogurt cone. Mixing flavors can bring about a beautiful and tasteful marriage experience. Yet, you do not mix gas and oil or saved and unsaved or one sect with another without peril.

    I saw an article on interracial marriage and since race has been a big issue in recent days I figured I would say just a bit on this topic. First of all, race as we use the term is really an evolutionary term and should not even be considered or used by believers. There are no races. There is but ...read more

    He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see.

    WAS BLIND BUT NOW I SEE. John 9:13-25. JOHN 9:13. The neighbours brought the now-seeing man-born-blind to the Pharisees.

    The Curse Of Eternal Life--How's That?

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 8, 2023
     | 1,064 views

    How could eternal life be a curse? We’ve always been told that our end, our goal in life, is to live forever.

    Saturday of 5th Sunday in Course 2023 How could eternal life be a curse? We’ve always been told that our end, our goal in life, is to live forever. True enough, and the liturgy reinforces that idea frequently, especially with the constant repetition of per omnia saecula saeculorum, or “forever and ...read more

    Dying On A Cross Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 16, 2025
     | 224 views

    Today we must give thanks for the gift of Jesus. His self-giving knew no limits and doesn’t stop giving even now.

    Good Friday 2025 I’ve frequently thought that the best approach to a homily for Good Friday would be to stand and look at the biggest cross or crucifix and focus on the pain and torment Jesus underwent two thousand years ago. I’ll encourage you to do that sometime in the next couple of days before ...read more

    We must expect daily to serve others and do so happily even to death. Jesus will provide the grace to enable our service.

    Feast of St. James the Greater (Santiago) July 25, 2025 Today’s psalm is anchored in a particular moment of Israelite history. In 539 BC, King Cyrus of Persia conquered the Neo-Babylonian empire and issued a decree that permitted, even encouraged the people exiled to Babylon to return to Judea and ...read more

    Our Memorial Convocations Are More Than Nostalgia

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 28, 2025
     | 107 views

    Each feast was a memorial of some historical event in the life of Israel and was more than just an exercise in nostalgia. Each Jew was called to consider himself or herself as living in that historical moment.

    Friday of the 17th Week in Course 2025 When we think of Torah, the Jewish Law, we usually think of the Ten Commandments and the various prohibitions that flow from those natural law ordinances. So, for instance, the first commandment prohibits worship of any God but Hashem, and the pagans of ...read more

    God gives Jonah very few details and Jonah has to step out in faith to get the job done.

    Jonah’s to do list: “Things to do today: Take a walk to the city of Nineveh – check; Give God’s message to the hated Ninevites – check; Have dinner in a nice Assyrian café – check; Go to bed and get some sleep – check.” When we read our Scripture today, it appears that Jonah treats the people of ...read more
