  • The Prayer Of The Humble Pierces The Clouds

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 21, 2022
     | 822 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

     | 1,800 views

    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
     | 1,377 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

     | 1,301 views

    He loves us, even though He has been injured in the loving.

    Christmas 2022 Why did God save us, anyway? In the beginning, He created man and woman as the summit of His work of bringing everything into being out of nothing. Unlike the false gods of Greece and Palestine, the true God does not need us at all. He is Being itself, and continuously creates and ...read more

  • Homecoming To The Temple

     | 441 views

    Joseph and Mary brought their newborn Jesus into the Temple for a solemn ceremony.

    Homecoming Today’s feast is a commemoration of the wonderful moment when Jesus, the Messiah and Son of God, comes home to the Temple at Jerusalem. Homecoming is a wonderful moment in life. I recall decades ago, flying into our South Texas airport after a one-week training session, and my whole ...read more

  • The Great Trades

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 1, 2025
     | 197 views

    God, the Most High, has given us everything we own, so generosity in His service is only just.

    Tuesday of the Eighth Week in Course 2025 The wisdom book we have in Greek called Sirach, or Ecclesiasticus (since the early churches used it so often) reads like the book of Proverbs. Today’s proverbs regard offerings to God. Our sacrifices to God, in the spirit of the second-Temple Jews, should ...read more

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

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 22, 2024
     | 669 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

  • Decision Day--Don't Wait

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 10, 2025
     | 256 views

    We don’t know when our termination date will be. It could be later today or tomorrow. We don’t get to decide.

    Friday of the First Week in Lent 2025 Ask anybody of mature age what are the two most important dates of anyone’s life and you will get a potpourri of answers. The statisticians will say the dates of birth and death, because those dates control so many decisions and outcomes. The real answers, for ...read more

  • To See The Face Of God

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 12, 2025
     | 397 views

    What a great gift the Transfiguration is for us, glorifying God in our second full week of Holy Lent!

    Second Sunday of Lent 2025 If there is a fundamental difficulty with religion, it may be that God, and every attribute of God, does not belong to us. All is naturally out of our human comprehension. We say God is transcendent. As Bp. Barron teaches, we are like two-dimensional stick figures on a ...read more

  • Intermediary? Why Do I Need A Middle Man Between Me And God?

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 21, 2023
     | 1,035 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

  • The Master Of Plot-Twists Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 21, 2023
     | 1,554 views

    God is a master at plot twists, isn’t He?

    Solemnity of the Incarnation 2023 The prophet Isaiah was, in my opinion, a master of irony. Although King Ahaz, who was king over a territory about the size of a Texas county and thus a kind of rump king, had allied his little nation with the huge Assyrian empire, that big gang of thieves was ...read more

  • Rend Your Hearts Not Your Garments

    This is a sermon about Ash Wednesday and how it is a day of new beginnings.

    ASH WEDNESDAY REFLECTION 2003 “Blessed be the longing that brought you here and that quickens your soul with wonder.” This line is from a poem titled “A Blessing” by a man named John O’Donohue. I came across it quite by accident (or by God) As I was getting ready for work this morning and ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,879 views

    Most people call themselves Christians yet when measured and weighed by God’s biblical standards, they are badly found wanting and untrue to the definition of a genuine Christian!

    Intro: The word “Christian” is used only 3X in the King James Bible (text; Acts 11:26c; 26:28). Most people call themselves Christians yet when measured and weighed by God’s biblical standards, they are badly found wanting and untrue to the definition of a genuine Christian! The Bible gives us ...read more
