    The True Elastic Thinker

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 30, 2018
     | 2,867 views

    Our Lord spent His life teaching us to abandon our scripted behavior, our pursuit of pleasure for its own sake, our yearning for honor from others, for control over others.

    Good Friday 2018 Scripted or Elastic When returning home yesterday from our Holy Thursday Liturgy, the first act in this awesome drama of the Triduum, I heard a discussion with an author about the need to develop our innate ability to do “elastic thinking.” The idea is that the world is changing ...read more

     | 10,851 views

    Flee, follow, fight, lay hold, and obey. The makings of the man of God.

    FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF THE FAITH. 1 Timothy 6:11-16. The title “man of God” (1 Timothy 6:11) is addressed to Timothy in contradistinction to ‘any man who teaches otherwise’ (1 Timothy 6:3). The expression is occasionally used of prophets in the Old Testament. In the New Testament it will come ...read more

    Thursday of 3rd Week of Easter 2017 Joy of the Gospel It’s important from time to time to remind ourselves just how the NT came into existence.

    Jesus Never Missed An Opportunity Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 21, 2019
     | 2,410 views

    Jesus never missed an opportunity to use daily events as a way to reach the hearts of His listeners.

    Tuesday of the 25th Week in Course This short Gospel given to us by St. Luke has parallel stories in the other Synoptics, and the amount of ink that has been spilled over the years by interpreters must run to the thousands of liters. I have had experience of anti-Catholic acquaintances throwing ...read more

    Only A Wimpy Philosopher--Come On, Man! Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 6, 2021
     | 1,269 views

    That would, of course, be a lot like having a beautiful vehicle with no engine and, therefore, no value. Jesus as a kind of philosophizing wimp, so to speak.

    Monday of the 3rd Week in Lent 2021 One of the great heresies of Christendom that comes back again and again says that Jesus Christ was a great moral philosopher in the line of the Buddha, Confucius, and Marcus Aurelius. Perhaps the most notorious of the authors holding this position was the U.S. ...read more

     | 1,905 views

    Jesus was taking on his shoulder a social rejection that had to be just as troubling as the feel of the cross.

    Jesus Falls the First Time (Those of us who have had the privilege and honor of a pilgrimage to the Holy Land always make Jerusalem part of the holy time. There, although the Jewish Temple has been replaced by a grand mosque, we can see the very places we read about in the New Testament, the ...read more

    Jesus came with the intention to gather all humanity together into the kingdom of God, to use the members of His Church for that gathering.

    Twenty-first Sunday in Course There’s one thing you can count on when you open a news site, and the same thing is true when you open the Scriptures. You will find that human beings are most frequently motivated by what Aristotle and Thomas Aquinas calls passions, and those emotion-driven actions ...read more

    Judgement? Or Fraternal Correction

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 4, 2022
     | 1,331 views

    You know what happens whenever you point out some evil in the culture. The next words somebody will say are, “Jesus taught you not to judge.”

    Friday of the 22nd Week in Course Today’s Gospel is so straightforward and goes to the heart of Christ’s teaching that we can be forgiven for ignoring all the other Scriptures we have heard. It’s kind of a slap at the Pharisees, who try to keep all the six-hundred plus rules of Torah involving ...read more

    Uprooting Trees And Being Unprofitable Servants

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 30, 2022
     | 1,027 views

    God’s gift is enough for us. We just have to apply that mustard-seed faith we are given and trust that God will give us what we need.

    Twenty-seventh Sunday in Course 2022 Today’s Gospel might whipsaw our brains a little, particularly if you read the whole chapter. Right before this passage, Jesus has been warning His disciples, and therefore us, against teaching others to sin. That’s called scandal. Here He speaks about the ...read more

    Big Cross Or Little Crosses, But No Other Path To Joy

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 22, 2024
     | 639 views

    Abraham did not have to show his faith by slaying his only Son, Isaac. God the Father, however, did not hold onto His only Son, Christ Jesus, but accepted His sacrifice.

    Second Sunday in Lent 2024 St. Mark’s Gospel tells us today that “after six days” Jesus and His three lead apostles went up a high mountain. Why is “six days” important to remember? We need to go back to the previous chapter to see. The story line follows St. Matthew’s Gospel very closely, which ...read more

    The Prayer Of The Humble Pierces The Clouds

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 21, 2022
     | 788 views

    Paul had prayed all his life, as we should. “The prayer of the humble pierces the clouds.” God always hears our prayers.

    Thirtieth Sunday in Course 2022 It’s helpful for us, two thousand years since the events, to consider some background on this story, this parable, of Jesus about the Pharisee and the tax-collector, sometimes called the “publican.” The word “Pharisee” comes directly from the Greek. It means ...read more

     | 960 views

    If I can't fix my own stereo system, how can I build a path for myself to divine union?

    Fourth Sunday of Advent 2023 So King David, after surviving his quarrel with King Saul and his thousands of followers, taking Jerusalem, the unconquered city, with the loss of barely any men, and extending his rule pretty much from the “river to the sea,” wakes up one morning in his cedar-lined ...read more
