  • The Witness Of Poverty

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 30, 2019
     | 3,409 views

    In an era when the contrast between the rich and the poor is most pronounced–our own time–like Francis, we are all called to follow the example of Christ in simplicity and poverty.

    Tuesday of the 4th Week in Lent 2019 San Francisco di Paola One of the dominant themes of both the OT and the NT stories is what we have to look forward to in the kingdom of God. God’s kingdom, when we are confirmed as its citizens after our life on this earth, is a reign of plenty, a restoration ...read more

  • The Controversy Of The Lord

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 25, 2013
    based on 9 ratings
     | 8,270 views

    What does the LORD require of you?

    THE LORD’S CONTROVERSY. Micah 6:1-8. It is tragic when God has to serve a summons upon His own people. The “prisoner in the dock” is Israel herself, and the LORD is ready to submit His case. The witnesses are the mountains and hills (Micah 6:1), and strong foundations of the earth (Micah 6:2). ...read more

  • O Magnify The Lord With Me

    We taste and see the goodness of the LORD when the words of the LORD have their rightful place in our lives.

    O MAGNIFY THE LORD WITH ME. Psalm 34:1-8. David was ‘on the run’ from king Saul. Mistakenly thinking that he might find refuge with the Philistines, he only escaped from their clutches by feigning madness (1 Samuel 21:10-15). Then he hid in a cave. Knowing that David was in this place, his ...read more

  • Eucharistic Fix- Part 2 Series

     | 3,745 views

    In the study, one person related not having a fear of death, and another related that death and resurrection are a continual process following the psychic deaths she had while in her addiction.

    20B I want to continue with an article I read from a university in Santa Barbara about Catholic Mass and its healing implications for the addicted person. In the study, a psychological sense of alienation and loneliness appears to be a common experience for the addict, because the drug of ...read more

  • Last Or First? Series

     | 2,414 views

    At the beginning of the new year and decade we must ask ourselves if there is any hint of anti-Christ in our hearts.

    New Year’s Eve 2019 Last or First? Our holy Scripture today is taken from the apostle John. The Gospel teaches about the beginning, and the letter tells us about the end. And both beginning and end must be centered on Our Lord Jesus Christ. In fact, everything we do in the new year, the new decade ...read more

  • Some Actions Are Always Wrong So What Do We Do? Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 19, 2021
     | 1,173 views

    Murdering the innocent is always gravely immoral. Thus we have been taught since the first Christians accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and celebrated communion together.

    Homily Monday of 12th week in ordinary time If we are to understand what the Lord is saying to us today, and more importantly what He is not saying, we need to find the key word in the Gospel: it’s “hypocrite.” A hypocrite is someone who calls sin a sin in other people, but ignores the sin in ...read more

  • Prepared, Ready, Oiled Up Series

     | 3,423 views

    We have to BYOB–bring our own brightness. Five prepared; five didn’t. Five were always ready; five figured they’d have time to get ready. Oops.

    Thirty-Second Sunday in Course reflections As we come to the end of this year of grace, a year with even more challenges of every kind than usual, the Word of God focuses on goals, on ends, on what a football coach would call the “last three minutes of the ball game.” And the first word to ...read more

  • Jesus, Priest And King Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 16, 2021
     | 1,743 views

    The grace won by Jesus on the cross is infinite, and therefore enough to redeem every human being, liberating us all from slavery to sin.

    Monday of 2nd Week in Course 2021 “Son though [Jesus] was, he learned obedience from what He suffered, and when He was made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey Him.” That word, “perfect,” really confused me when I was a kid. And even now it seems to be an impossible ...read more

    We become a child of God through baptism

    Water and Spirit – Luke 3: 15 - 22 Intro: As a pastor, there are many questions you are asked. Some of them are harder to answer than others. One I have frequently heard is “What would your congregation think? Life seems to be full or question. This morning, I ...read more

  • Eighteenth Sunday In Ordinary Time, Cycle B-- New Manna

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jul 31, 2021
     | 1,467 views

    Complaining became the rubric under which the journey was interpreted.

    In our First Reading we heard Exodus 16:2, “The whole Israelite community grumbled against Moses and Aaron.” It reminds me of the story of a lady who was a veritable fount of complaints. Her pastor came by to see her one day and she began to enumerate some of her complaints: “The neighbor’s ...read more

  • Orders Of The Day.

    Instructions to the man of God.

    ORDERS OF THE DAY. 1 Timothy 6:6-19. # A WORD TO POOR CHRISTIANS (1 Timothy 6:6-10.) Paul’s response to those who suppose that ‘gain = godliness’ (cf. 1 Timothy 6:5) is the exact opposite: “But godliness + contentment = great gain!” (1 Timothy 6:6-7). This contentment arises not from ...read more

  • Growing The Flock Of Christ Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 24, 2021
     | 1,704 views

    In a world hungry for meaning, hungry for joy, hungry for hope, we must share the story of Christ and His Church.

    Monday of 4th week of Easter In Palestine, sheep have been for dozens of generations the basis of animal husbandry. Sheep produce milk and wool–they are not used for meat. Sheep are also pretty stupid, so they need shepherds to keep them from getting into trouble and being killed. Every night ...read more

  • Hope And The Little Child Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 12, 2021
     | 2,227 views

    A child, and especially the child Jesus, is above everything a sign of hope.

    Monday of 3rd week in Easter Today’s Gospel is so brief that we might be tempted to overlook it, as we are often tempted to ignore a little child. But many commentators believe that when Jesus said that we must turn and become like this little child, he was pointing to Himself. Pope Benedict ...read more

  • The Struggle With Satan Lent Sunday 1 Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 23, 2023
     | 1,048 views

    Was the Lord bragging about how He defeated the old Worm, man’s adversary, Satan? No.

    First Sunday of Lent 2023 How did St. Matthew come by the story he shared in today’s Gospel? It was easy to understand the first line, what happened when Jesus, who was fresh from His baptism by John, where the Holy Spirit came upon Him in form of a dove, went into the wilderness of Judea. ...read more

  • Freedom To Be Like Christ

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 1, 2024
     | 425 views

    We are no longer, if we live as Christians, able to do wrong and hurt others and then plead “but I’m only human.”

    Eighteenth Sunday in Course 2024 While looking over my old homilies in preparation for today, I noted that these same readings, as they will do, came up back in 2018. Keying on the lesson from Exodus about the Israelites constantly griping about the time since God, with a “mighty hand and ...read more
