    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,823 views

    In the witness of the martyrs we see the Word of God made visible and effective in the world; the martyrs give the ultimate testimony to the Truth.

    August 13, 2012 Blessed Jakob Gapp Verbum Domini “The interpretation of sacred Scripture would remain incomplete were it not to include listening to those who have truly lived the word of God: namely, the saints. Indeed, viva lectio est vita bonorum. The most profound interpretation of ...read more

    The Banquet, The Summit Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 1, 2013
     | 3,510 views

    Over and over in the Gospels we see the work of Christ culminate in a celebratory banquet, even in the healing of the little girl.

    Monday of 5th Week in Course Feb 4 2012 Sacrosanctum Concilium The story of Jesus’s raising of the little girl, the daughter of Jairus, is one of the most touching in the Holy Gospels. The incident may have happened in Capernaum, St. Peter’s hometown, and it involved one of the ...read more

    The Church must reach out in mission to those who are in need, whatever their stage of spiritual growth or seeking.

    Thursday of 2nd Week in Advent Joy of the Gospel Not everything in the Scriptures is easy for us in the 21st century to understand. That is particularly true in our passages from Isaiah and Matthew today. Isaiah is exaggerating for effect. At the coming of the Redeemer, he says, everything ...read more

    Last Or First? Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 28, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,416 views

    At the beginning of the new year and decade we must ask ourselves if there is any hint of anti-Christ in our hearts.

    New Year’s Eve 2019 Last or First? Our holy Scripture today is taken from the apostle John. The Gospel teaches about the beginning, and the letter tells us about the end. And both beginning and end must be centered on Our Lord Jesus Christ. In fact, everything we do in the new year, the new decade ...read more

    The Witness Of Poverty

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 30, 2019
     | 3,409 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

    Freedom To Be Like Christ

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 1, 2024
     | 426 views

    We are no longer, if we live as Christians, able to do wrong and hurt others and then plead “but I’m only human.”

    Eighteenth Sunday in Course 2024 While looking over my old homilies in preparation for today, I noted that these same readings, as they will do, came up back in 2018. Keying on the lesson from Exodus about the Israelites constantly griping about the time since God, with a “mighty hand and ...read more

    The Struggle With Satan Lent Sunday 1 Series

     | 1,048 views

    Was the Lord bragging about how He defeated the old Worm, man’s adversary, Satan? No.

    First Sunday of Lent 2023 How did St. Matthew come by the story he shared in today’s Gospel? It was easy to understand the first line, what happened when Jesus, who was fresh from His baptism by John, where the Holy Spirit came upon Him in form of a dove, went into the wilderness of Judea. ...read more

    Instructions to the man of God.

    ORDERS OF THE DAY. 1 Timothy 6:6-19. # A WORD TO POOR CHRISTIANS (1 Timothy 6:6-10.) Paul’s response to those who suppose that ‘gain = godliness’ (cf. 1 Timothy 6:5) is the exact opposite: “But godliness + contentment = great gain!” (1 Timothy 6:6-7). This contentment arises not from ...read more

    Jesus, Priest And King Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 16, 2021
     | 1,743 views

    The grace won by Jesus on the cross is infinite, and therefore enough to redeem every human being, liberating us all from slavery to sin.

    Monday of 2nd Week in Course 2021 “Son though [Jesus] was, he learned obedience from what He suffered, and when He was made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey Him.” That word, “perfect,” really confused me when I was a kid. And even now it seems to be an impossible ...read more

    Some Actions Are Always Wrong So What Do We Do? Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 19, 2021
     | 1,173 views

    Murdering the innocent is always gravely immoral. Thus we have been taught since the first Christians accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and celebrated communion together.

    Homily Monday of 12th week in ordinary time If we are to understand what the Lord is saying to us today, and more importantly what He is not saying, we need to find the key word in the Gospel: it’s “hypocrite.” A hypocrite is someone who calls sin a sin in other people, but ignores the sin in ...read more

    We become a child of God through baptism

    Water and Spirit – Luke 3: 15 - 22 Intro: As a pastor, there are many questions you are asked. Some of them are harder to answer than others. One I have frequently heard is “What would your congregation think? Life seems to be full or question. This morning, I ...read more

    Eighteenth Sunday In Ordinary Time, Cycle B-- New Manna

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jul 31, 2021
     | 1,467 views

    Complaining became the rubric under which the journey was interpreted.

    In our First Reading we heard Exodus 16:2, “The whole Israelite community grumbled against Moses and Aaron.” It reminds me of the story of a lady who was a veritable fount of complaints. Her pastor came by to see her one day and she began to enumerate some of her complaints: “The neighbor’s ...read more

    We have to BYOB–bring our own brightness. Five prepared; five didn’t. Five were always ready; five figured they’d have time to get ready. Oops.

    Thirty-Second Sunday in Course reflections As we come to the end of this year of grace, a year with even more challenges of every kind than usual, the Word of God focuses on goals, on ends, on what a football coach would call the “last three minutes of the ball game.” And the first word to ...read more

    Hope And The Little Child Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 12, 2021
     | 2,231 views

    A child, and especially the child Jesus, is above everything a sign of hope.

    Monday of 3rd week in Easter Today’s Gospel is so brief that we might be tempted to overlook it, as we are often tempted to ignore a little child. But many commentators believe that when Jesus said that we must turn and become like this little child, he was pointing to Himself. Pope Benedict ...read more

    In a world hungry for meaning, hungry for joy, hungry for hope, we must share the story of Christ and His Church.

    Monday of 4th week of Easter In Palestine, sheep have been for dozens of generations the basis of animal husbandry. Sheep produce milk and wool–they are not used for meat. Sheep are also pretty stupid, so they need shepherds to keep them from getting into trouble and being killed. Every night ...read more
