    Be Reconciled To God

    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,792 views

    The father only seems like a chump, taking back the wastrel son. But I am not the elder son, I am the prodigal, needing forgiveness.

    4th Sunday of Lent 2010 So we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We beseech you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. If God had to join the rest of us in ...read more

    When churches forget who they are and what is their purpose they quickly sink into a sea a of insignificance with no effectiveness and no power.

    Series: Being the Body WHAT IS THE CHURCH? Matthew 16:13 18 18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

    Baptism Is A Gift We Receive Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 4, 2014
     | 2,681 views

    God loved us so much that He gave up His only begotten Son, as the blood-price of our justification. You and I first enter that covenant when we, or our parents and godparents, make covenant promises to God at our baptism.

    Thursday of 5th Week in Lent 2014 Lumen Fidei The Gospel of John, more than the Synoptics, clearly states what the Church has always and everywhere taught–Jesus is the fleshly manifestation of the same God who made a covenant of love and fidelity with Abraham. Although Israel turned its ...read more

    "the light of love is born when our hearts are touched and we open ourselves to the interior presence of the beloved"

    Thursday of 2nd Week in Ordinary Time 2014 Lumen Fidei King Saul of Israel exhibited what we might call paranoid schizophrenic tendencies. He had an on-off relationship with his son, Jonathan, and the same kind of relationship, but even more intense, with the man he considered his main rival, ...read more

    Seeing The Plan And Hearing The Word

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 25, 2014
     | 2,981 views

    Like Augustine, we must integrate into our lives the need to see God's vision and to hear God's call.

    Thursday of 3rd Week in Course 2014 Lumen Fidei The vision of God is always broader and deeper than any plan of a human. King David was in a really good mind when he wrote this prayer of thanksgiving to God. Remember that Saul, his predecessor, had wanted a dynasty, but he turned against ...read more

    How Do You Clean A Heart Series

     | 4,899 views

    If the house, once cleaned of this demon, is not filled with goodness, the evil spirit will return with seven more vices and perversions and make our souls even worse, our souls and families even sicker.

    Third Sunday of Lent 2017 Extraordinary Form Today we find Christ, speaking through the Church’s liturgical texts, teaching us about the birds and the bees. I say the birds because the Communion verse tells us that the sparrow has found a home and the turtle dove a nest to lay her young near the ...read more

    The active atheist's life is not only meaningless,. . . but tragic in the worst sense, because, absent a miracle, he turned his back on a free offer of eternal joy.

    Seventh Sunday in Course 2019 For the Catholic Students Group Today our Office readings begin a series from the book of Ecclesiastes, or Qoheleth, which means “the Teacher.” It is one of the best-known of the Wisdom books of the OT, purportedly written by King Solomon, who, at least in his youth, ...read more

    Jonah And The Call To Convert The Nations Series

     | 3,117 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

    It’s time for us to imitate the early Christians, not Ahaz. Political solutions are like bandages. They can stop the blood flow but they can’t cure the fundamental disease, which is loss of faith in God, and disobedience to His commandments.

    Tuesday of the 15th Week in Course 2020 Plague Year homilies When you consider it, God, whom we call by a kind of nickname “Yah” every time we sing the Gospel acclamation, God was heavily invested in His people. Specifically, He made a promise to King David, the greatest of the kings of Israel, ...read more

    No, It's Not Fair, But Bear With It In Christ

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 28, 2023
     | 942 views

    Forget the old song that asks “how can it be wrong when it feels so right?” That’s unmitigated baloney. Your mind must rule your emotions, not vice-versa.

    Twenty-Sixth Sunday in Course 2023 Have you or anyone you know ever said that some fine or traffic ticket or concert ticket price or something else “isn’t fair”? I suspect that a show of hands would involve almost everyone who is here today. That cry, “it’s not fair!” is one of the most common ...read more

    The Name Above All Names At Which We Bend Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 9, 2025
     | 377 views

    The Son of God was divine already, but He thought it unfair to glom onto that identity. He became the face of the divine compassion and enduring love, God’s hesed, by emptying Himself of all His divine glory, all His divine dignity.

    Palm/Passion Sunday The critical reading we are given from Scripture today is not one of the two Gospels, not the triumphant Palm Sunday story of Christ’s entry to Jerusalem and not the story of the Last Supper, Passion and death of Our Lord. No, the reading that is crucial to an understanding of ...read more

    The Hour To Wake From Sleep

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 25, 2025
     | 158 views

    St. Paul writes to the Romans today, and his words are perfect directions for the time of Advent. We must know the time, the hour to rise from sleep.

    First Sunday of Advent 2025 The Introit psalm of today’s Advent liturgy is attributed to King David, who is clearly praying in a time of difficulty. He cries, “I lift up my soul to you, O my God. In you have I trusted; let me not be put to shame, nor let my enemies exult over me. Let none who hope ...read more

    Jesus said "I am the vine, you are the branches. Apart from me you can do nothing?" But that doesn't make any sense... or does it?

    OPEN: About a 35-minute drive SW of London is a tourist attraction that was once a royal palace. It’s called Hampton Court.

    Be careful of those who scorn water.

    The story of the little fish swimming towards its mother, and in a panic says, “Mama, Mama, what’s water? I gotta find water or I’ll die!” "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God,” John 3:5 says. The water refers to water ...read more
