  • We Will Testify To Jesus No Matter What You Threaten

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 22, 2022
     | 1,084 views

    Jesus was the stone rejected by Sadducee and Pharisee alike, but His presence is the foundation stone for the Church He left behind to continue His mission.

    Saturday of Easter Week It’s remarkable that the same Sanhedrin council who, six weeks earlier, had been able to condemn Jesus to death for blasphemy, and then proceed to bribe or blackmail the Roman procurator to execute Him seems powerless in our first reading. They have brought the apostles to ...read more

  • The Ruler Must Obey The Law Of God

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 29, 2022
     | 1,137 views

    If a ruler does not hold God and God’s Law in the highest respect, he will ultimately fail.

    Saturday of 17th Week in Course Men and women without faith in the twenty-first century are a lot like the Israelites who were hearing and yet not listening to Jeremiah five centuries before Jesus. If you have no faith in Christ, in the transcendent reality we call communion with the Trinity, you ...read more

  • Gifts And Laws And Pharisees

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 2, 2022
     | 773 views

    Many gifts but only One Source.

    Saturday of 22nd Week in Course When somebody asks me how I am, I almost always answer, “grateful.” One of the big reasons I do that is what St. Paul teaches in our epistle today: “What do you have that you did not receive?” I know that any talent or other asset I have is a divine gift. And any ...read more

  • Bread Of Adversity And The Bread Of Life

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 30, 2022
     | 1,383 views

    What means the bread of adversity and the water of affliction?

    Saturday of the First Week in Advent 2022 We are all in our days in a time of economic uncertainty and political division such as none of us has seen in our lifetimes. That distracts us from what is most important, our final end, the goal of our human life. That is, of course, divinization, being ...read more

  • God Loves Us Too Much To Leave Us

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 7, 2022
     | 1,772 views

    God wants a holy people, worshiping rightly and living rightly. He loves us too much to leave us in sin.

    Saturday of the 2nd Week in Advent Recently it was time for me to prune a couple of grapevines growing in our garden. We don’t actually harvest the fruit; they provide attractive foliage on our two arbors and give the birds something to eat. The psalmist speaks of God’s people, Israel, as His ...read more

  • All The Way To The End Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on May 23, 2023
     | 980 views

    Today’s readings from the NT close out both the book of Acts and the Gospel of John.

    Saturday of 7th Week in Easter 2023 Today’s readings from the NT close out both the book of Acts and the Gospel of John. The apostle John was almost certainly the disciple who lay against Christ’s breast at the Last Supper, and here, right at the last paragraph of his Gospel, he repeats what can ...read more

  • Like Paul And John We Are Prophets Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 20, 2023
     | 1,102 views

    Restoring the prophetic voice.

    Solemnity of John the Baptist 2023 St. Paul knew how to approach the Jews and the Gentiles who had an interest in the Jewish faith as he went through Asian Minor and Greece to spread the Gospel of Christ. So we see him in today’s story from Acts coming to the local synagogue on Shabat, Saturday. ...read more

  • Lie, Cheat, Steal And Pay Series

     | 1,881 views

    Jacob will have to leave his family and himself get cheated in a foreign land before he will be fit to return home.

    Saturday of the 13th Week in Course 2023 Back about sixty years ago, when I was growing up, there was a TV ad for some political candidate that had the opponent’s picture on the screen, interpreted by a loud voice-over yelling “LIE, CHEAT, STEAL.” The approach was hokey and original for our ...read more

  • Building Church With Jesus And Peter Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 16, 2024
     | 960 views

    They had two things to “sell.”

    Saturday of the Third Week in Easter 2024 Why did the Church grow in membership so rapidly in the last half of the first century? There must have been many reasons; we were largely an assembly of the poor and marginalized, and there were a lot of those people in the Roman Empire. News of the ...read more

  • There Are No Magic Buttons

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on May 7, 2024
     | 407 views

    We must all be taken aside continually and taught more about the truth of Jesus and the Church.

    Saturday of the Sixth Week of Easter 2024 Today’s Scripture from the Acts of the Apostles introduces someone new to the story of Paul’s time in Asia Minor. Paul is ministering in Galatia, up toward the Black Sea coast, while the scene shifts to Paul’s future destination, much farther south closer ...read more

  • Paul's Difficult Journey To Rome Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on May 14, 2024
     | 704 views

    And Paul took his mission seriously. For two full years it looks like the entire Praetorian guard rotated through his house, one legion member at a time.

    Saturday of the 7th Week of Easter 2024 If you have been following the readings from the Acts of the Apostles every day in our service, it looks like Paul appealed to Caesar yesterday and magically he is entering Rome today. That’s because we left off on chapter 25 yesterday and opened up to the ...read more

  • Our Prayer To The Father And What It Can Do

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on May 21, 2024
     | 516 views

    The apostle James is writing us today with some serious advice about living the Christian life, and it has solidarity with our Gospel.

    Saturday of the seventh week in Course 2024 Isn’t it remarkable as we read the Gospels just how frequently Christ’s disciples completely misread Jesus and His message? People were bringing their toddlers and other children to Jesus so that He might touch them with His special blessing. Jesus, we ...read more

  • Just What Law Is So Precious And Sweet?

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 23, 2024
     | 404 views

    Christ's last commandment is the one that the psalm is talking about, perfect, tasting sweet, priceless. That command is simply this. “Love one another as I have loved you.”

    Friday of the Sixteenth Week in Course What is this Law that is perfect, that refreshes the soul and gives wisdom to the simple-minded? It rejoices the heart, is true and just, and more precious than gold. It tastes sweeter than syrup, or even honey straight from the comb (and I know how tasty ...read more

  • We Will Enter Into God's Rest Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 17, 2025
     | 217 views

    Today is the day in which Christ conquers death, hell, and Satan.

    Holy Saturday homily The human authors of the New Testament were really at a loss when they tried to describe how our lives will be once we have fallen asleep on earth and awakened in the presence of God. They believed as we do that those who live and die in faith and love would experience ...read more

  • Something Strange Is Happening

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 26, 2024
     | 544 views

    There is a great silence on earth today; a great silence and stillness.

    Holy Saturday 2024 Whenever we pray the ancient “Apostles Creed,” we say something like “He [Christ] descended into hell.” And then we profess faith in Christ’s resurrection from the dead. Is there Scriptural basis for this profession of Christ being in a state or place called hell after His ...read more
