    That All Humans Be Saved Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 19, 2019
     | 2,569 views

    It is the will of God that all humans be saved, which was a crucial teaching of the Church all the way back to St. Paul.

    Thursday of 2nd Week in Course 2019 St Francis de Sales Jesus, our Lord, constantly had His mission from the Father in mind during His time on earth. That mission is to teach and heal, and to suffer and die for our salvation. It was the Father’s will that the Son should live as a real human being, ...read more

    Poverty, Yes, But Not Under Compulsion

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 11, 2022
     | 917 views

    Those who try to force others to be good are playing God without acting like God.

    Thursday of the 19th Week in Course If you did a survey among Americans to ask them to name their favorite saint, I would guess with some confidence that it is St. Francis of Assisi. And for a female saint, we could choose his close associate, St. Clare of Assisi, whom we celebrate today. As our ...read more

    The Encounter With Christ Series

     | 2,680 views

    For the mystic Francis, "there is nothing but God."

    St. Francis of Assisi, Stigmatic 2019 It was the encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ that gave us the miracle that was Saint Francis of Assisi. That personal relationship with Christ turned a hedonist into an ascetic, a wastrel into Il Poverello, a sinner into a saint. And, that, we must believe, ...read more

    The Witness Of Poverty

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 30, 2019
     | 3,354 views

    In an era when the contrast between the rich and the poor is most pronounced–our own time–like Francis, we are all called to follow the example of Christ in simplicity and poverty.

    Tuesday of the 4th Week in Lent 2019 San Francisco di Paola One of the dominant themes of both the OT and the NT stories is what we have to look forward to in the kingdom of God. God’s kingdom, when we are confirmed as its citizens after our life on this earth, is a reign of plenty, a restoration ...read more

    Words Are Necessary

    We’ve all heard the quote falsely attributed to St. Francis of Assisi, "Preach the gospel at all times. use words if necessary;" words are necessary and this message encourages believers to speak boldly.

    MEN’S RETREAT – NOV 3, 2007 Speaking in the Fight Col.4:6 - Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone. 1.

    Loving Lady Poverty To Pull Society From Chaos To Christ Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 30, 2020
     | 1,272 views

    Francis, the poor friar in his garment of third-rate cloth who smiles through his poverty is enormously attractive, because he is totally exceptional.

    Feast of St. Francis of Assisi 2020 October 4, 2020 G.K. Chesterton said about St. Francis that “he plunged after poverty as men have dug madly for gold.” He was in love with what or who he called “Lady Poverty” for a crazy but practical reason and it has to do with spreading the Gospel of the ...read more

    Jesus's challenge to the rich young man - Does it leave us discombobulated and feeling uncomfortable? Which of the many interpretations is correct? [This sermon was preached 13 October 2024 when I was the guest preacher at St Nicholas Church Perivale in West London]

    A very wealthy man came to his vicar and said, “Father, I’m having a problem with this tithing thing. You see I made £500,000 dollars last year. If I gave 10% then I’d have to give….” No - before I finish that anecdote - lets do a poll- would you rather be very rich or very poor - hands up ...read more

    We should also rejoice, always. How do you do that when things are going wrong? Trust in God and make an act of thanksgiving for how Our Lord will bring good out of evil.

    Tuesday of the 1st Week of Advent 2019 St. Francis Xavier To be poor is to be weak. It has ever been thus in this valley of tears. The Torah, the first five books of the OT, clearly tells judges not to consider the wealth or poverty of the people who apply for justice to their courts. But we know ...read more

    Treasures In The Sand

     | 3,914 views

    St. Francis of Assisi said, “Love God with all your heart and do as you please.” When we love God passionately, supremely, extremely, completely we can do whatever we feel like doing!

    On one of our rare excursions to Sauble Beach I noticed amongst the sea of sunbathers an odd-looking, not-dressed-for-the-occasion-figure sweeping the sand with a metal detector. He was searching for treasures in the sand. He was a little scary as he came too close to a child who was gazing through ...read more

    Angels are God's agents sent to protect us from all harm

    This year, the official feast day of St Michael and All Angels fell on 29 September. It was the Tuesday which preceded the feast of St. Francis last Sunday; we did not get to celebrate God’s angels and talk about them. There are about six hundred references to angels in the Bible, but we seldom ...read more

    Defender Of Religious Liberty Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 15, 2012
     | 3,784 views

    St Robert Bellarmine would be an excellent candidate for the patron of the Church in defense of religious liberty, as we face a determined political system who would destroy us.

    17 September 2012 St. Robert Bellarmine Verbum Domini Today’s saint is one who is not quoted in Verbum Domini by our Holy Father. Perhaps the reason is that Robert Bellarmine, who lived in the sixteenth and seventeenth century, was a controversial theologian in his time. We might say that ...read more

    The Church continues the mission of Jesus Christ as one Body and is able to do so because of the prayer of that same Christ.

    Tuesday of the 7th Week in Easter 2019 Sometimes it helps us to understand that the Roman world in the first century did not speak Latin all over, or write in Latin all over the place.
