  • SYNAXARION, COPTO-ARABIC, List of Saints Used in the Coptic Church
    (CE:2171b-2190a) SYNAXARION, COPTO-ARABIC, list of saints used in the Coptic church. [This entry consists of two articles, Editions of the Synaxarion and The List of Saints.] Editions of the Synaxarion This book, which has become a liturgical book, is very important for the history of the Coptic church. It appears in two forms: the recension from Lower Egypt, which is the quasi-official book of the Coptic church from Alexandria to Aswan, and the recension from Upper Egypt. Egypt has long preserved this separation into two Egypts, Upper and Lower, and this division was translated into daily life through different usages, and in particular through different religious books. This book is the result of various endeavors, of which the Synaxarion itself speaks, for it mentions different usages here or there. It poses several questions that we cannot answer with any certainty: Who compiled the Synaxarion, and who was the first to take the initiative? Who made the final revision, and where was it done? It seems evident that the intention was to compile this book for the Coptic church in imitation of the Greek list of saints, and that the author or authors drew their inspiration from that work, for several notices are obviously taken from the Synaxarion called that of Constantinople. The reader may have recourse to several editions or translations, each of which has its advantages and its disadvantages. Let us take them in chronological order. The oldest translation (German) is that of the great German Arabist F. Wüstenfeld, who produced the edition with a German translation of part of al-Maqrizi's Khitat, concerning the Coptic church, under the title Macrizi's Geschichte der Copten (Göttingen, 1845).

  • Saint Titus, Apostle of the Seventy
    Saint Titus, Apostle of the Seventy Saint Titus, Apostle of the Seventy was a native of the island of Crete, the son of an illustrious pagan. In his youth he studied Hellenistic philosophy and the ancient poets. Preoccupied by the sciences, Titus led a virtuous life, not devoting himself to the vices and passions characteristic of the majority of pagans. He preserved his virginity, as the Hieromartyr Ignatius the God-bearer (December 20) testifies of him. For such a manner of life the Lord did not leave him without His help. At age twenty St Titus heard a voice in a dream, suggesting that he abandon Hellenistic wisdom, which could not provide salvation for his soul, but rather to seek that which would save him. After this dream, St Titus waited yet another year, since it was not actually a command, but it did guide him to familiarize himself with the teachings of the prophets of God. The first that he happened to read was the Book of the Prophet Isaiah. Having opened it to the 47th Chapter, he was struck by the words, speaking as it were about his own spiritual condition. When news reached Crete about the appearance of a Great Prophet in Palestine, and about the great miracles He worked, the governor of the island of Crete (an uncle of Titus) sent him there. This Prophet was the Lord Jesus Christ Himself, incarnate of the Most Holy Virgin Mary Who came into the world for the redemption of the race of mankind from the oppression of ancestral sin.

  • Daily Catechesis on the Way; the Third Week in Epiphany Tide; 24
    The Feast of St. Timothy, Pastor & Confessor Sunday, 24 January St. Timothy had Christian believers in his family. His mother and grandmother, Eunice and Lois, were faithful women who had instructed young Timothy in the Holy Scriptures (2 Tim. 1:5). Acts records that St. Paul met Timothy on his second missionary journey and wanted Timothy to Emmaus Evangelical Lutheran Church continue on with him (Acts 16:1–3). Over time Timothy became a dear friend and close associate 929 East Milton Street, South Bend • (574) 287–4151 • emmaus24.org of Paul, who entrusted him with mission work in Greece and Asia Minor. He was also with Paul in Rome. According to Tradition, after Paul’s death Timothy went to Ephesus where he served as Rev. Dr. Richard Stuckwisch, Pastor bishop and was martyred around A.D. 97. Timothy is best remembered as a faithful companion of Paul, one who rendered great service among the Gentile churches. Rev. David A. Seyboldt, Assistant Pastor The Feast of the Conversion of St. Paul Monday, 25 January St. Paul’s life-changing experience on the road to Damascus is related three times in the Acts of the Apostles (9:1–9; 22:6–11; 26:12–18). As an arch-enemy of Christians, Saul of Tarsus set out for Damascus to arrest and bring believers to Jerusalem for trial. While on the way he saw a blinding light and heard the words: “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me?” Saul asked, “Who are You, Lord?” The reply came, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.” In Damascus, where Paul was brought after being blinded, a disciple named Ananias was directed by the Lord in a vision to go to Saul to restore his sight: “Go, for he is an instrument whom I have chosen to bring My name before Gentiles and kings and before the people of Israel” (Acts 9:15).

  • EVENING PRAYER for Tuesday, January 26, 2021 Ss. Timothy and Titus, Bishops
    EVENING PRAYER for Tuesday, January 26, 2021 Ss. Timothy and Titus, Bishops Preparation Consider and set your “prayer space” o If you are praying alone, consider finding a quiet, prayerful space. If you are praying with your family or other members of a household, consider gathering around a coffee table or dining table. o Add optional items that may enhance your prayer if you desire: a small table with a purple cloth, a lit candle, a cross, holy images or statues. o You may want to have a journal available to write down reflections or words as you pray. o Lighting affects our mood. Consider dimming the lights or using a lamp instead of bright overheads. If you are praying in a group, you may want to assign parts to read along with the livestream. This is a great way to keep children engaged. You may want to consider splitting your “group” in half and alternating reading aloud each paragraph. Silence cell phones or tend to things that have the potential to disrupt your prayer time. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Gathering We take a few moments to quiet our hearts.
