Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time 3 The Year of St. Joseph by Sr. Barbara Rund, OP ! On December 8th, Pope Francis announced the “Year of St. Joseph” in his Apostolic Leer called “With A Father’s Heart” or in Lan “Patris Corde”. The “Year of St. Joseph” begins on December 8, 2020, and concludes on December 8, 2021. It is interesng to note, that Pope Francis made the announcement on the 150th anniversary when Pope Pius IX in 1870, declared St. Joseph is the Patron of the Universal Church. ! ! Pope Francis said he wanted to share his personal reflecons concerning the sacrifices many people made during the pandemic to protect others, just like St. Joseph protected Jesus and Mary. He says: “I would like to share some personal reflecons on this extraordinary figure, so close to our own human experience … My desire to do so increased during these months of pandemic, when we experienced, amid the crisis, how St. Joseph, Patron of the Universal Church! our lives are woven together and sustained by ordinary by Lawrence OP! people, people o en overlooked … How many people St. Joseph, guardian of the infant Jesus, is honored as patron of the daily exercise paence and offer hope, taking care to Universal Church. He is depicted as such in this statue in the Church spread not panic, but shared responsibility … Each of us of the Immaculate Concepon on Farm Street in London.! can discover in Joseph T the man who goes unnoced, a daily, discreet and hidden presence T an intercessor, a through four dreams (cf. Mt 1:20; 2:13.19.22). A er a support and a guide in mes of trouble. Saint Joseph long and ring journey from Nazareth to Bethlehem, he reminds us that those who appear hidden or in the beheld the birth of the Messiah in a stable, since “there shadows can play an incomparable role in the history of was no place for them” elsewhere (cf. Lk 2:7). He salvaon” (Patris Corde, Introducon).! witnessed the adoraon of the shepherds (cf. Lk 2:8R20) ! and the Magi (cf. Mt 2:1R12), who represented respecvely the people of Israel and the pagan In the Apostolic Leer, Pope Francis’s reflecons explore peoples” (Patris Corde, Introducon).! the many aspects of St. Joseph as a father who is “beloved … tender and loving … obedient … accepng … ! creavely courageous … working … in the As you can see, from the Pope Francis’s list Mahew’s shadows” (Patris Corde). Before we invesgate these Gospel has Joseph as a central character, especially aspects of St. Joseph, we will begin with what the when Jesus is called “the carpenter’s son” (Mt 13:55). Gospels reveal about him. ! Luke’s Gospel centers on Mary and the relaonship ! between Jesus and John the Bapst and gives addional informaon lacking in Mahew about Jesus’ birth and The Gospels of Mahew and Luke reveal the person of childhood. John’s Gospel cites Joseph twice (Jn 1:45, Joseph, and his mission. Pope Francis tells us: “We know 6:42). Mark’s Gospel does not refer to Joseph.! that Joseph was a lowly carpenter (cf. Mt 13:55), betrothed to Mary (cf. Mt 1:18; Lk 1:27). He was a “just ! man” (Mt 1:19), ever ready to carry out God’s will as Next Week: St. Joseph in the Gospel of Mahew revealed to him in the Law (cf.

  • The Church in Rome in the First Century
    The Church in Rome in the First Century Author(s): Edmundson, George (1849-1930) Publisher: Grand Rapids, MI: Christian Classics Ethereal Library Description: In 1913, George Edmundson gave the University of Oxford©s Bampton Lectures, an annual (now biennial) lecture series that concentrates on Christian theological topics. This book contains the collection of Edmundson©s lectures, all of which concern Christianity©s first two hundred years. The majority of the book©s content addresses the New Testament directly, while a couple of the later lectures concern later early church figures such as Irenaeus, Clement of Alexandria, and Tertul- lian. During his time, Edmundson©s work was largely ignored, as he was a clergyman rather than a New Testament scholar. Not only this, but his conclusions differed vastly from the scholarly consensus of his contemporaries. Today, readers can approach Edmundson©s work as one piece of the ongoing dialogue in literary/historical criticism of the Bible.

  • Through the Eye of the Dragon: an Examination of the Artistic Patronage of Pope Gregory XIII (1572-1585)
    Through the eye of the Dragon: An Examination of the Artistic Patronage of Pope Gregory XIII (1572-1585). Vol.1 Title of Degree: PhD Date of Submission: August 2019 Name: Jacqueline Christine Carey I declare that this thesis has not been submitted as an exercise for a degree at this or any other University and it is entirely my own work. I agree to deposit this thesis in the University’s open access institutional repository or allow the library to do so on my behalf, subject to Irish Copyright Legislation and Trinity College Library conditions of use and acknowledgement. For Sadie and Lilly Summary This subject of this thesis is the artistic patronage of Pope Gregory XIII (1572-1585). It examines the contribution of the individual patron to his patronage with a view to providing a more intense reading of his artistic programmes. This approach is derived from the individual interests, influences, and ambitions of Gregory XIII. It contrasts with periodization approaches that employ ‘Counter Reformation’ ideas to interpret his patronage. This thesis uses archival materials, contemporaneous primary sources, modern specialist literature, and multi-disciplinary sources in combination with a visual and iconographic analysis of Gregory XIII’s artistic programmes to develop and understanding of its subject. Chapter one examines the efficacy and impact of employing a ‘Counter-Reformation’ approach to interpret Gregory XIII’s artistic patronage. It finds this approach to be too general, ill defined, and reductionist to provide an intense reading of his artistic programmes. Chapter two explores the antecedent influences that determined Gregory XIII’s approach to his papal patronage and an overview of this patronage.

    , " - RESTORE THE DIGNITY OF THE CHRIsrIAN F.AMn,y ., I MODERN PAGANIa{ It has been said trequently, almost to the extent ot becoming a trite commonplace, that modern lite is gravitating back to paganism, that christian principles are less attractive to the modern mind than they were to older generations, and that humanity is weary of the struggle agai.st self1shness, self-i.dulgence and the allurame.ts ot a ma­ teria11atic world. The principles of the christiaa life necessarily ~pose restraints upon human nature; the laws of faith demand docile submission fram the human mind; the christian moral law certainly exerts a powerful check upon human nature, against which the latter instinctively rebels. Hence we are not surprised to find a prevalent tend­ ency to throw off all inhibitions and safeguards and to graVitate back to the eaAiMt lines ot least resistance, that are oftered by pagan philosophy and a materialistic con­ cept ot human lite. -2~ This paganizing influence is felt in a thousand different ways, it surges in upon humanity tram every side almost like the flood ot the mighty river that has risen aboTe its banks and sweeps through the valley and over the plains ot the countryside With devas­ tating torce. This paganizing influence is eVident in many tOl.'lllS of modern literature, in amusements, in habits ot dress, in education, in the social philosophy that ·is taught in the schools, preached from many rostrums and practically applied in hanes by visiting nurses and unchristian social workers. Even our legislatures reveal this paganizing undertone when discussions arise that aftect in one way or another the social, moral and educational interests ot the citizens.

  • The Gnostic Roots of Heresy Bryan R. Cross July 7, 2007
    The Gnostic Roots of Heresy Bryan R. Cross July 7, 2007 "By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God; and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God." (1 John 4:2-3) We typically think that gnosticism is simply one of many heresies. But I strongly suspect that gnosticism of some sort is at the root of all heresies. That is because every heresy is in some respect a denial of the incarnation, and the essence of gnosticism as I am using the term here, is its opposition to the enfleshment of God. Below I briefly consider the heresies faced by the Church in the first seven General Councils. Then I draw from the work of Vladimir Soloviev to show that the heresies faced by the first seven General Councils are not randomly arranged. Rather, each successive Council is confronting a more specific sort of denial of the incarnation. Each successive Council thus affirms a further and deeper implication of the incarnation, against a heresy that in that respect denied the incarnation. The heresies of the first four centuries all deny the incarnation in some respect or other.1 Two groups that may seem like exceptions to that claim are the Montanists, Novatianists, and Donatists on the one hand, and the Modalists on the other hand.2 Modalism was an indirect denial of the incarnation, because distinguishing the modes of this one divine Person, such that one was incarnate and one was not, entailed "a mere indwelling or external union" between the divine nature and human nature.3 As for Montanism, Novatianism, and Donatism, I will come back to them later below.
