    Listen To God And Obey His Loving Direction

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 9, 2024
     | 258 views

    Listen to God in the first place, and maybe God won’t have to bail you out of bad situations that you create for yourself.

    Saturday of the First Week in Course 2023 Today’s Gospel is one of the most gripping portrayals of Jesus’s ministry we have from St. Mark. Why is that? In just five verses, we see Jesus, in the area of Capernaum, teaching a large crowd in one of his favorite amphitheaters, a natural one by the Sea ...read more

    Rebellion And Rest

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 2, 2024
     | 293 views

    The psalmist looks back at Israel’s history. He tells us that He wants us to hearken to His voice. Specifically, we must not harden our hearts.

    The Rebellion in the Desert, and in Our Hearts The New Year 2024 is just a few days old, but one thing is pretty clear to me. Although we live on the juncture between two cities that each have noise and anti-fireworks ordinances, everyone agrees that the fireworks explosions heard as the old year ...read more

     | 360 views

    In truth, Jesus was the Son of God, and son of Mary.

    Saturday of the First Week of the Year 2023 I don’t know if our story from the Gospel of Luke is like the first time in history somebody used like the word “like” in a way that’s become emblematic of the early 21st century in the US, but here it is: “Jesus was like thirty-ish, being the ...read more

    The Only Real Fix For Our Lifelong Craving

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 26, 2023
     | 311 views

    We are looking for true wealth, true relationship, true joy

    Sixth Day of the Christmas Octave 2023 “Do not love the world or the things in the world. If any one loves the world, love for the Father is not in him.” St. John, writing in his old age to the communities of Asia Minor he feels responsible for, is trying to help younger Christians, and their ...read more

    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

     | 243 views

    Repent of any family sins we may have on our consciences.

    Saturday before Christmas 2023 There is only one God, and He is not inside His own creation, of course. That’s not a spatial or temporal statement, because God transcends space and time; God is other than space and time. He exists, but it is unwise to call God the “Supreme Being” because that ...read more

    Soaking In Christ's "jesusness"

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 13, 2023
     | 384 views

    We are over our lifetime changed into His image. That’s what God wants for us, and that’s what we come together weekly to pray for.

    Third Sunday in Advent 2023 (sermon 2) Many years ago I had a theology professor who told me that the secret to successfully teaching theology is found in this letter of St. Paul to the Thessalonians: “Test everything.” And that’s actually good advice. First, if you are a manager–and all teachers ...read more

    Restoring Families; Restoring The Plan Of God

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 12, 2023
     | 266 views

    Families would have the opportunity to be reunited in His Church, and grace would establish all the new earth as a blessing, not a curse.

    Saturday of the Second Week in Advent 2023 Sirach is a book named for its author, Jesus ben Sira. This is a book Catholics use in the Liturgy, but Protestants generally don't accept as inspired. We call it "deuterocanonical;" they call it "apocryphal." Our reading from the ...read more

    The Best Moment To Repair An Injury

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 11, 2023
     | 359 views

    Forgiveness-based reconciliation is truly a divine Gift.

    Third Sunday of Advent 2023 As I’m looking over our reading from this late chapter of Isaiah, almost certainly written during or after Israel’s Babylonian exile, I am struck by the intersection of the promises God makes to us: good news for the afflicted, healed hearts for the brokenhearted, ...read more

    Jesus Christ is Son of Mary. Jesus Christ is Son of God and our Savior.

    Second Sunday of Advent 2023 We hear today the first words of the Gospel of St. Mark, which is really, using the title of a recent popular book, The Memoirs of St. Peter. St. Peter was Mark’s mentor after St. Paul sent the young disciple home. They just didn’t get along. Those of you who have ...read more

    The Holy Spirit continues to work in Christians all over the world, in many different expressions and denominations, to spread the compassion of Christ.

    Saturday of the First Week in Advent 2023 There’s a vivid feeling of urgency about the Advent readings from the prophet Isaiah, a constant agony about factors not under the control of Israel as they await their Messiah. Now two things are for all of Israel’s history in the foreground of their ...read more

    We have to be ready for Christ every moment of every day. It is our 24-7 responsibility as Christians.

    First Sunday in Advent 2023 In many churches, the prescribed hymn for the first Sunday in Advent is “Wachet Auf,” which in English is usually rendered “Wake, awake, for night is flying, the watchmen on the heights are crying; awake, Jerusalem, at last.

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 28, 2023
     | 308 views

    Daniel sinks back into self-reflection, with symptoms reminiscent of what we today know as a “panic attack.” How does he escape?

    Saturday of the Last Week in the Year (Dec 2) 2023 I heard a radio commentator say recently that he can’t remember a time when he heard as many people talking about the “end times” as he hears today. This being the last week of our Church year, we are hearing “end time readings,” particularly from ...read more

    Must Leaders Always Disappoint?

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 22, 2023

    As we end this year of grace, we can confidently face the future, even if we never have a really good king or president or prime minister in our earthly life.

    Christ the King 2023 I have pretty strong memories of the Feast of Christ the King during my elementary years at a Catholic boys’ school. My parents would see me dressed up in my school uniform, which was styled like a U.S. Army class A uniform from WW2, but with maroon dyes, and the whole school ...read more

    God Wins But It's Always By God's Calendar

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 21, 2023

    The victory is God’s, but sometimes it takes a long time to achieve. And sometimes that victory is only in the willingness of martyrs to give up everything in witness to their faith.

    Saturday of the 33rd Week in Course 2023 I recently read an article summarizing statements made by likely voters in one of the state primaries. One of the participants lamented about the state of the nation and asked, “Is there anyone other than me that feels like this is Rome 476 A.D.?” (Of ...read more
