  • How Do You Clean A Heart Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 15, 2017
     | 4,944 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

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 23, 2013
     | 4,070 views

    The call of Christ not to judge, not to condemn, is directed at our relationships with other humans, not evil actions themselves.

    Monday of 2nd Week in Lent 2013 Gaudium et Spes Today’s Scriptures are most appropriate as follow-ups to the Gospel of Transfiguration we heard on Sunday. Jesus is seen on Mount Tabor conversing with Moses, the great lawgiver, and Elijah, the greatest prophet. Jesus has always been seen by ...read more

  • What St Gregory Teaches Us About Evangelization Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 1, 2012
     | 3,098 views

    Prayer is pre-eminent; the Word must inform our music; evangelization must be done, especially with the help of women.

    September 3 2012 St. Gregory the Great Verbum Domini The Book of Genesis envisions the creation of the world as more of a birthing than a creatio ex nihilo. We know that God created everything, and created it from nothing. But when the author of Genesis began his narrative, he picks up at a ...read more

    5th Sunday of Easter, Year B

    John 15: 1 – 8 Bearing Fruit By Remaining Connected Intro: Staying connected is a big thing in today’s world. We have cell phones, email, skype, facebook, twitter, and all sorts of “social media” the intent of which is to keep us connected. As important as these ...read more

    5th Sunday, Year A, Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time

    The late Pentecostal preacher David du Plessis was once approached by a Christian who complained that people don’t seem thirsty for the Lord these days. Without missing a beat, du Plessis replied, “It’s not that they are not thirsty enough. It’s that we are not salty enough!” Since moisture ...read more

  • The Gospel Succeeds Even In An Age Of Fecklessness Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 11, 2020
     | 2,780 views

    We need to continue on the path we were set on by Jesus long ago–the path to holiness. That means giving up everything of this world that keeps us from imaging Jesus and Mary.

    Tuesday of the First Week in Course 2020 Saint Mark gets right to the point, just like the high priest Eli. But Saint Mark gets the whole picture, and Eli does not. Mark’s Gospel is designed to demonstrate to his Roman audience–and us–that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and Messiah. Look how few ...read more

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 24, 2019
     | 3,764 views

    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

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 20, 2019
    based on 3 ratings
     | 6,207 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

     | 2,872 views

    By the grace of Christ won on the cross, we are sinners on our way to becoming saints.

    Monday of Pentecost Week 2019 Feast of Mary, Mother of the Church Whatever utopian vision human beings must embrace–whether fascism, Marxism, socialism or any other “ism”–that vision and every other one collapses when faced with the reality of sin. Today, on the feast of Mary, Mother of the ...read more

     | 6,252 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

  • Canonized Or Not, All Are Called To Be Saints Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 7, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,820 views

    The slavery to sin that we all labor under for some part of our lives is destroyed by the infinite loving power of Christ.

    Tuesday of 23rd week in course 2019 St. Agnes Tsao-Kou Ying We don’t become disciples of Jesus Christ on our own volition. We must be called to follow Christ. Some teachers have misunderstood this to mean that some are called and others are not called, and therefore are damned to perdition by ...read more

  • Our Face Set Toward Jerusalem Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 28, 2019
     | 2,987 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

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 7, 2020
     | 2,440 views

    We must work and pray, as St. Benedict told us to do. Work for the spread of the kingdom in our families and communities, and vote as a Christian must, for godly men and women who will resist the culture of death and legislate for life, peace, and goodness.

    Tuesday of the 2nd Week in Lent 2020 For our first reading today, I have chosen to begin earlier in the first chapter of Isaiah than the Lectionary suggests, and to add the verses the Lectionary omits. The Lenten readings take a great deal of the very long prophecies of Isaiah, but they omit ...read more

  • Water Flows From The True Temple Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 7, 2020
     | 2,911 views

    Jerusalem is on a series of hills, and water has to be brought into the city from elsewhere. But the real Temple of God, the Precious Body of Christ, is the source of living water.

    Dedication of the Lateran Basilica 2020 Water Flows from the Temple There are few feasts quite as confusing as today’s commemoration of the dedication of the Archbasilica of St. John Lateran, a church in Rome. But it’s not just “a” church in Rome, it is the church in Rome. If I asked a thousand ...read more

    based on 5 ratings
     | 2,884 views

    Our Lord forebears because His desire is for all to be saved. And when the trumpet blows, the time for repentance is over.

    Second Sunday in Advent 2020 Let me share reflections on the Word of God for the second Sunday in Advent in this plague year 2020. The virus has been a plague, at least made worse by the attitude and behavior of the communist regime in mainland China. The election has been a plague, and I think ...read more
