    The Compassion Of Christ

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 5, 2023
     | 355 views

    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. Midnight hears the welcome voices, and at ...read more

    Preparing For Bad Times Without Trusting In The World

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 28, 2023
     | 346 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
     | 520 views

    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

     | 253 views

    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

    Going Up To The Real Temple

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 15, 2023
     | 322 views

    Lepers were outsiders. They were ostracized from society, and could not enter either Temple or synagogue.

    Wednesday of the 32nd week in Course 2023 Ten lepers came as near to Jesus as they dared. That would have been fifty to eighty meters. Their chronic skin condition, maybe Hansen’s disease as we see such infections these days, has ruined their social and religious lives. They were ostracized from ...read more

    Peter And Paul And Their Church-Building Witness

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 14, 2023
     | 348 views

    There's much to learn about building on the Foundation that is Christ, and Peter and Paul teach us much.

    Saturday of the 32nd Week in Course 2023 Today we celebrate an anniversary that is important to the Catholic Church, with readings that should speak to all Christians. The anniversary is of the dedication of the Basilica of Ss. Peter and Paul in Rome, which is atop Vatican Hill and contains the ...read more

    Suppose You Show Up At The Banquet With No Oil?

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 10, 2023
     | 505 views

    The experience of God is transcendent, in a sense more real than anything we’ve felt or smelled or seen. It is an experience of ultimate goodness, awesome beauty, and absolute truth.

    Thirty-Second Sunday in Course 2023 Every human being yearns for true happiness. The problem with us as we grow up, however, is that our earliest experiences even before birth start us off in life as materialists. After conception, we are either growing or we are dying, so we are nutrition hogs; ...read more

    Give These Folks A Hug For Me

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 7, 2023

    What about those who find themselves in possession of wealth that had some evil attached. What do you do with that property?

    Saturday of the 31st week in course 2023 Saint Paul wrote his letter to the Church at Rome during his lengthy stay with the Church of Corinth, so this happened late in his third and final missionary journey. Today we are offered a delightful look into Paul’s life, as he lists, one after another, ...read more

    Servitude Trumps Corruption

     | 447 views

    For a priest or Levite, Malachi’s accusation that they had “corrupted the covenant of Levi” was just about the worst word he could throw at them.

    Thirty-first Sunday in Course 2023 Today the Church gives us a snippet from St. Paul’s first letter to Thessalonika, and it echoes the sentiment of our psalm. The psalmist assumes an attitude we should all aspire to: “O Lord, my heart is not haughty, my eyes not lifted high; I busy myself not with ...read more

    Who Are The People Of God And How To Join Up

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 31, 2023
     | 371 views

    Here comes this hick-town Galilean carpenter and His gang to try to turn things upside down.

    Saturday of the 30th week in course 2023 Our first reading begins with a question about whether, “then,” God has rejected His people, the Jews of St. Paul’s day. But we must, to have any understanding of these words, look back at the previous chapter, which ends, “But of Israel he [God] says, ‘All ...read more

    The rules about good treatment of the neighbor get very specific.

    30th Sunday in Course 2023 In today’s Gospel, Jesus continues His long-running controversy with the Jewish leadership, in this case the masters of case law, the Pharisees. They are trying to pin the Lord down with a question that was placed before all the major rabbis, “what is the greatest ...read more

    Prayer And The Obedience Of Faith

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 24, 2023
     | 403 views

    We have access to grace and eternal life with the Blessed Trinity precisely because of their obedience, and our imitation of them by the obedience of faith.

    Saturday of the 29th Week in Course 2023 Our Lord frequently prayed at night, perhaps because His fame spread so widely in a short time that people desperate for help surrounded Him every day (except perhaps the Sabbath). So what did He do when praying? We can learn a great deal from His ...read more

    The roles of obedient faith, steadfast hope and laboring love

    Twenty-Ninth Sunday in Course 2023 It’s pretty clear to anyone who observes humans as they go about their days just what is important to most. What is most important to us becomes clearest when we look at what takes up most of our time. If success in one’s career drives his ambition, then more ...read more

    Led Forth With Joy In The Holy Spirit

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 17, 2023

    God always remembers His covenant, His unbroken promise, so in all our words and actions, as the psalmist proclaims, we are led forth with joy.

    Saturday of 28th Week in Course 2023 One of the requirements for a just law, according to the Fathers of the Church and Thomas Aquinas, is that it be promulgated to those we expect to obey it. Now there is a natural moral law that is summarized in the Ten Commandments. St. Paul talks about that ...read more
