    The Great Trades

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 1, 2025
     | 125 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

    Decision Day--Don't Wait

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 10, 2025
     | 171 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
     | 263 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

    Jesus Falls, Part I Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 13, 2022
     | 1,830 views

    Jesus was taking on his shoulder a social rejection that had to be just as troubling as the feel of the cross.

    Jesus Falls the First Time (Those of us who have had the privilege and honor of a pilgrimage to the Holy Land always make Jerusalem part of the holy time. There, although the Jewish Temple has been replaced by a grand mosque, we can see the very places we read about in the New Testament, the ...read more

    The Master Of Plot-Twists Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 21, 2023
     | 1,442 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

    Praise The Lord All You Nations

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 20, 2022
     | 1,688 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
     | 1,294 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

    Uprooting Trees And Being Unprofitable Servants

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 30, 2022
     | 966 views

    God’s gift is enough for us. We just have to apply that mustard-seed faith we are given and trust that God will give us what we need.

    Twenty-seventh Sunday in Course 2022 Today’s Gospel might whipsaw our brains a little, particularly if you read the whole chapter. Right before this passage, Jesus has been warning His disciples, and therefore us, against teaching others to sin. That’s called scandal. Here He speaks about the ...read more

    The Women Of Jerusalem Lament Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 23, 2022
     | 1,832 views

    What should we lament as we contemplate the tortuous walk of Jesus to the place of the skull?

    The Women of Jerusalem lament (Those of us who have had the privilege and honor of a pilgrimage to the Holy Land always make Jerusalem part of the holy time. There, although the Jewish Temple has been replaced by a grand mosque, we can see the very places we read about in the New Testament, the ...read more

    The Prayer Of The Humble Pierces The Clouds

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 21, 2022
     | 726 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

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

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 21, 2023
     | 895 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

    Why Does God Save Us? Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 24, 2022
     | 1,163 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

     | 5,749 views

    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

    Romans, Part 17 Series

    We are no longer in charge to the bonds this world has on us. You can be freed, if you’d only turn away from the sin and flee to Christ.

    Romans, Part 17 Romans 6:1-7 Introduction - Continuing on in Chapter 6, we encounter specific instructions for our lives - Paul begins to outline the way we should live; expounding on Rom 5:20-21 - It is in these principles … we (Gentiles) should pay very close attention too - Read Romans ...read more

    Return To Gilgal

    Contributed by Scott Nichols on Feb 27, 2011
    based on 11 ratings
     | 11,091 views

    In Joshua, the children of Israel set up 12 stones at Gilgal to remind them of what God had done. How do we remember the blessings of God?

    It is a time of transition. Of uncertainty. Moses is dead. Joshua has stepped into the leadership void; just as a new generation of Israelites are ready to cross over the Jordan to take possession of the land promised to Abraham. God understands the feelings of his people. The anticipation, the ...read more
