    The True Elastic Thinker

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 30, 2018
     | 2,838 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

    A Falling Out Series

    Contributed by Jon Lipka on Jul 8, 2014
     | 4,345 views

    Through covenants, God establishes a relationship with man that cannot be broken even when fellowship is hindered, so that when man falls away, God offers a way back.

    Today we start a sermon series “Falling in Love Again.” Lent is the prenuptial period leading up to the great wedding banquet that begins on Maundy Thursday, that is consummated on Good Friday, and is proven unbreakable on Easter Sunday. As we begin “Falling in Love ...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.

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,604 views

    'A spirit-filled evangelization is one guided by the Holy Spirit, for he is the soul of the Church called to proclaim the Gospel.'

    Thursday of 6th Week of Easter 2017 Joy of the Gospel Today’s reading from Acts is one of those gems of the Bible that gives evidence for its historicity. Aquila and Priscilla were probably already Christians when they came to Corinth, about AD 49. They were caught up in the dragnet Emperor ...read more

     | 3,092 views

    The Church and her missionaries do all these things in response to the commands of Jesus to love even unbelievers as Jesus loves them, to do to others as they would want others to do to themselves

    Tuesday of 12th Week in Course 2019 St. Dominic Henares, bishop If you look carefully at the long Biblical accounts of the life of Abraham–here identified as Abram before the Lord changed his name–you might wonder why God chose him. The answer is similar to the reply to the question “why does God ...read more

    What we need in life is purification, holiness, total reliance on Divine Providence

    Tuesday of the 17th Week in Course 2019 Bl. Solanus Casey Today’s reading from the book of Exodus is taken from two consecutive chapters of the book, and so are really two related but separate situations. The first one shows the daily routine–if you can use that word about an encounter with God–of ...read more

    Prayer And Fasting In A Young Life

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 17, 2018
     | 3,308 views

    God is a jealous God. He only wants the best for us, and if we try to accept less than that, He makes certain we can’t have it. With God, it’s all or nothing!

    Thursday of 20th Week in Course 2018 St. Rose of Lima The Church is in a trying time, and it is not God who has put us in that trial. It hardly ever is, isn’t it? When we find ourselves assailed by the people or institutions around us, it has usually involved some failing of the people in the ...read more

    Persecution Is Easier To Relate To Today Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 25, 2018
     | 2,189 views

    We in the Church are under constant assault by politicians, so-called comedians and the mass media. Today we quite easily relate to the readings from the Lectionary. God almighty, come to our aid!

    Thursday after Christ the King 2018 There was a time in my on life that Fr. Richard Neuhaus called “the Catholic moment,” a time when being Catholic seemed to be the best thing in the world. We had a Catholic president, a pope, now a saint, who had called a Council at the Vatican with the task of ...read more

     | 2,348 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.

     | 1,223 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

    We need to subject all our political opinions an conversation to the continuing need for repentance called to us by Scripture.

    25th Sunday in Course 2020 It’s seems like the political yard signs this election cycle have been cropping up for two years, like the rain lilies that sprout overnight after a heavy downpour.

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

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 22, 2024
     | 605 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

    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.
