     | 1,338 views

    Man has been called a religious animal. The Encyclopedia of religion and ethics lists hundreds of ways in which men have tried to satisfy their religious longings and feelings.

    Man has been called a religious animal. The Encyclopedia of religion and ethics lists hundreds of ways in which men have tried to satisfy their religious longings and feelings.

     | 2,289 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. I have had experience of anti-Catholic acquaintances throwing ...read more

     | 1,575 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
     | 1,266 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
     | 906 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 Master Of Plot-Twists Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 21, 2023
     | 1,392 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

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

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 22, 2024
     | 573 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

  • The Prayer Of The Humble Pierces The Clouds

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 21, 2022
     | 699 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

  • Jesus Falls, Part I Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 13, 2022
     | 1,761 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 Women Of Jerusalem Lament Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 23, 2022
     | 1,777 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

  • Only A Wimpy Philosopher--Come On, Man! Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 6, 2021
     | 1,176 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.

    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

  • Decision Day--Don't Wait

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 10, 2025
     | 127 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
