  • Blessings And Woes In The Gospel

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 20, 2019
    based on 3 ratings
     | 6,099 views

    Jesus pronounces His followers Blessed, and pronounces woes against those who are taking their ease in this world.

    BLESSINGS AND WOES IN THE GOSPEL. Luke 6:17-26. The context here teaches us that Jesus had spent a whole night alone on the mountain praying to God (Luke 6:12); then He called His disciples to draw near and from them He chose His twelve Apostles (Luke 6:13). Jesus came down with them all and ...read more

  • Introducing Christ Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 6,581 views

    This is part one of a series of messages in the Gospel of John.

    INTRODUCTION: John’s gospel is different from the others. There is no genealogy, no manger scene, no boyhood, no temptation, no Mount of transfiguration, and no Gethsemane. There are only a few special miracles chosen by John as “signs.” We have the famous “I AM” sayings of Jesus and many ...read more

  • The Good Shepherd And How To Get More Series

    Pray especially for holy priests, brothers and sisters. Pray for those who are preparing for or struggling in marriage. And pray for those who have chosen to remain unmarried in a celibate state, and for those who are trying to run from the divine call.

    For many decades this day has rightly been called “Good Shepherd Sunday,” because both of our New Testament readings speak of Jesus as Shepherd of our souls, Shepherd of the One Flock, the Church. Both of these precious proclamations have Old Testament roots. Let’s start with the story of Abraham ...read more

  • The Sermon On The Plain

     | 6,149 views

    Blessings and woes in the Gospel, and demonstrating Love under persecution.

    THE SERMON ON THE PLAIN. Luke 6:20-31. The Sermon on the Plain is directed towards those who ‘came to hear’ Jesus (Luke 6:17). It was ‘toward His disciples’ that Jesus first lifted up His eyes (Luke 6:20). These are words for those already committed to building upon the rock (Luke 6:47-48). ...read more

  • How Do You Clean A Heart Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 15, 2017
     | 4,851 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

  • Our Face Set Toward Jerusalem Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 28, 2019
     | 2,896 views

    Athanasius taught that God became human so that humans could be made divine. But even the baptized struggle with the profound negative impacts of original sins in our physical, emotional and spiritual lives.

    Tuesday of the 26th Week in Course 2019 St. Therese of Liseaux The connection between our two Scripture readings today is stark. The prophet Zechariah, writing a couple of hundred years before Christ, is in a society dominated by Hellenist culture, polytheism and utter contempt for Biblical faith ...read more

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

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 28, 2023
     | 889 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

  • Let's Not Miss The Opportunity For Victory

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 19, 2023
     | 1,017 views

    The roles of obedient faith, steadfast hope and laboring love

    Twenty-Ninth Sunday in Course 2023 It’s pretty clear to anyone who observes humans as they go about their days just what is important to most. What is most important to us becomes clearest when we look at what takes up most of our time. If success in one’s career drives his ambition, then more ...read more

  • How Do You Make Decisions?

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 6, 2024
     | 554 views

    Mozart was a great musician, but a terrible philosopher.

    Tenth Sunday in Course 2024 The great composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is quoted as saying “I pay no attention whatever to anybody's praise or blame. I simply follow my own feelings.” It seems appropriate to apply this statement to our first reading today, because the original man, whom we ...read more

  • Do Not Fear; Only Believe

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 27, 2024
     | 667 views

    God made man and woman in His image, with the plan that they would act and become more and more good, more and more like Himself. That was the divine order.

    Thirteenth Sunday in Course 2024 In his great Summa Theologiae, St Thomas Aquinas wrote “the order of the Divine government is wholly directed to good. . .no one acts intending evil.” (ST I Q 104 Art 1) Those words are an appropriate commentary on the words from the post-exile writing Book of ...read more

  • Abraham's Revival Series

     | 2,003 views

    Abraham’s faith is a model for Christians, because we are his successors by faith (Galatians 3:29). Revival of our faith is modeled after his life (Genesis 12-25).

    Abraham’s faith is a model for Christians, because we are his successors by faith (Galatians 3:29). Revival of our faith is modeled after his life (Genesis 12-25). Traditional history tells us that Abram’s father Terah, was a high priest for Nimrod and made idols. History tells that Noah and Shem ...read more

  • The Road To Emmaus Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,735 views

    There seemed to be a lot more drama surrounding the death of Jesus – earthquakes, curtains being torn at the Temple, darkness covered the earth. The resurrection was done quietly without any witnesses to the actual moment of resurrection.

    Easter 2021 The Road to Emmaus There seemed to be a lot more drama surrounding the death of Jesus – earthquakes, curtains being torn at the Temple, darkness covered the earth. The resurrection was done quietly without any witnesses to the actual moment of resurrection. Death can be dramatic, but ...read more

  • No Shortcuts

    Contributed by Perry Greene on Sep 29, 2025
     | 123 views

    Christ endured His temptations because there was no shortcut to glory and our redemption.

    No Shortcuts Luke 4:1-13 Matthew 4:1-11 (Three categories 1 John 2:16): • Stones to Bread (Lust of the flesh) • Kingdoms of the Earth (Lust of the eye) • Pinnacle of the Temple (Pride of life) I. Turning Stones to Bread A. Memorial Stones – Joshua 4:4-8 (ESV) 4 Then Joshua called the twelve men ...read more

  • Working And Praying Together In Spiritual Warfare

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 15, 2025
     | 155 views

    Our Father will guard our coming and going both now and into eternity.

    Twenty-ninth Sunday Integral 2025 One of the most long-lasting feuds in the Bible is encountered in today’s OT reading. “Amalek came and waged war against Israel.” Exodus does not tell us the why or the when, but this nation of Amalek attacked Israel, perhaps without provocation. Moses, the ...read more

  • The Name Above All Names At Which We Bend Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 9, 2025
     | 303 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
