In saying that he is the way, Jesus is signaling his full humanity. For the human nature of the Lord is indeed the means by which a disciple is led to union with God. Christ’s humanity is, as Saint Paul puts it, “the icon of the invisible God.” But by insisting, at the same time, that he is the truth and the life, Jesus indicates his full divinity. Many other religious teachers and founders could have characterized themselves as “ways” to enlightenment or mystical union. But none of them could have coherently maintained that he, in person, is himself the object of enlightenment or the goal of mystical union. Jesus is in person the divine Truth that our minds long for; he is, in person, the divine Life in which our hearts long to share. In a word, precisely because the Lord is both God and man, both path and goal, he is the one in whom we find salvation. Saint Fabian, Pope and Martyr (+250) Feast Day: January 20 Fabien was a country farmer who happened to be visiting Rome in the year 236, immediately follow- ing the death of Pope Anterus, and he joined the assembly of clergy and laity who gathered to elect a new pontiff. Quite unexpectedly, a dove appeared and alighted upon the head of Fabian. Though other obvious candidates were present, the assembly saw in this a sign that the Holy Spirit had marked out a simple country man for a great mission, and they elected Fabian to the chair of Peter. Fabian humbly accepted the commission. During his pontificate, Fabian appointed seven deacons to seven districts in the city, and he commanded that the “acta” of the martyrs, the records of their trial testimonies, be recorded for posterity. At Fabian’s behest, seven bishops went on mission to Gaul. But Fabian’s greatest act by far was his martyrdom. In 249, after a period of relative tolerance, the Emperor Decius unleashed a bloody persecution. Pope Fabian was one of the first victims, dying in prison as the result of cruel treatment. He was buried in the catacombs of Saint Callixtus under a stone slab with the simple inscription, “Fabian, bishop and martyr.” According to his contemporary Saint Cyprian, Fabian was “an incomparable man, the glory of whose death corresponded with the holiness of his life.” 2 3 Yes, Lord, We Follow You Let us march forward intrepidly to meet our Redeemer, Jesus, pursuing our onward course without swerving until we come to the assembly of the saints and are welcomed by the company of the just. It is to join our Christian forebears that we are journeying, to those who taught us our faith…. In the place where the Lord will be everyone’s light, the true light which enlightens every human person will shine upon all. In the house where we are going the Lord Jesus has prepared many resting places for his servants, so that where he is we also may be. This was his express desire. Listen to his own words: In my Father’s house there are many resting places. And: I will come again and take you to myself, so that where I am you also may be. You may say, perhaps, that he was speaking only to his disciples, and it was to them alone that he promised there would be many resting places…. And what of that statement of his about people coming from all sides to take their seats in the Kingdom of God? Have we any grounds for doubting that God’s will is effective? With Christ, surely, to will a thing is to accomplish it. In short, the Lord has not only shown us the way we are to travel, he has also pointed out our destination. Where I am going you know, he says, and the way there is known to you. This destination is our Father’s house, and our way to it is Christ, as his own words assure us: I am the way, the truth, and the life…. Let us set out, then, upon this way, holding fast to the truth and following in the footsteps of life. Christ is the way that leads us, the truth that strengthens us, and the life that restores us to life in him. To make sure that we really understand his will, our Lord prays a few minutes later: Father, it is my desire that those whom you have given to me be with me where I am, so that they may see my glory. How graciously our Lord asks his Father here to grant what he himself had promised earlier! The promise came first and then the request, not the other way around. Conscious of his authority and knowing the gift was at his own disposal, he made the promise; then as if to exemplify his filial submission, he asked his Father to grant it…. Yes, Lord Jesus, we do follow you. But we can only come at your bidding. No one can make the ascent with- out you, for you are our way, our truth, our life, our strength, our faith, our reward. We belong to you; be the way that carries us onward, the truth that inspires us with courage, and the life that fills us with renewed vigor. Saint Nilus of Sinai (+430) was a monk, theologian, and ascetic writer. He was a student of Saint John Chrysostom. Untroubled Hearts [Jesus says:] The martyrs bore witness to the truth. Nothing can efface that witness. You also bear witness to the truth each time that you act according to my Spirit—and that for all eternity. Those who love me a little, have a little confidence in me. Those who love me much, have great confidence in me. Those who place no limit to their love have a confidence in me without bounds or limit. I cannot disap- point them. You honor me more by the confidence you show me than by all that you could give me. And no- tice, I respond at once by putting joy into the heart that honors me with confidence. As I am happy, yes, happy to show you the marks of my Passion—see how your God has loved you!—will you not also be happy to show me the marks of your love? Oh, if you knew how I long for you! Not to re- proach you, but to overwhelm you with joy in showing you the marks of my love. Sister Mary of the Holy Trinity (+1942) was a Poor Clare of Jerusalem. 4 Scripture Readings May 11 to May 16 Monday, May 11 5-10-2020 Fifth Sunday of Easter Acts 14:5-18 Psalms 115 John 14:21-26 May 11, 2020 Tuesday, May 12 Monday May 11 8:30 AM ......

  • Ante-Nicene Fathers—Volume I Clement of Rome Mathetes
    The Ante-Nicene Fathers (10 Volumes) ranges from the Apostolic Fathers to various third and fourth century sources including the liturgies and ancient Syriac documents. It was intended to comprise translations into English of all the extant works of the Fathers (with the exception of the more bulky works of Origen) down to the date of the first General Council held at Nicaea in 325 A.D. The basic aim of the translations has been to strive for literary exactness, placing the English reader as nearly as possible on an equal footing with those who are able to read the original. General Editor : Phillip Schaff (1819-1893), who was born in Switzerland, was educated at Tubingen, Halle, and Berlin, and later took a position as Professor of Church history at German Reformed Seminary in Mercersburg, Penn., and Union Theological Seminary in New York. He was involved in the formation of the Evangelical Alliance, the revision of the English Bible (the Revised Version), and the Alliance of the Reformed Churches. Schaff was founder of the American Society of Church History and was the author of The History of the Christian Church (8 volumes).

The Twelve Patriarchs, Excerpts and Epistles, The Philip Schaff Clementia, Apocrypha, Decretals, Memoirs of Edessa and Syriac Documents, Remains of the First Age Pope Anterus.2798 626 ———————————— The Epistle. On the translation of bishops and of episcopal seats. To the brethren, most dearly beloved, constituted to be bishops in the provinces of Bœtica and Toletana, Bishop Anterus sends greeting in the Lord. I should wish, my dearest brethren, always to receive the glad account of your sincere love and peace, so that the signs of your welfare might be promoted in turn by the dissemination of our letters among you, if our ancient enemy should give us quiet and deliverance from his attacks; who was a liar from the beginning,2799 the enemy of the truth, the rival of man—in order to deceive whom he first deceived himself,—the adversary of modesty, the master of luxury. He feeds on cruelties; he is punished by abstinence; he hates fasts, and his ministers preach, to that effect, as he declares them to be superfluous, having no hope of the future, and echoing that sentence of the apostle, in which he says, “Let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we shall die.”2800 O miserable boldness! O subtlety of a desperate mind! For he exhorts to hatred, and puts concord to flight. And because the mind of man is easily drawn over to the worse part, and chooses rather to walk by the broad way than laboriously to take its course by the narrow way, for this reason, brethren most dearly beloved, follow ye the better, and always leave the worse behind you.

Jesus turned and saw them following him and said to them, “What are you looking for?” John 1: 35-38 Visit US :) Blessings in Jesus, Fr. David R. Wagner, Pastor Fr. Rafal A. Duda, Parochial Vicar MGE FM FR . AD Behold the Lamb of God This Sunday’s reading from the Gospel of John includes five different names or titles for Our Lord, besides Jesus. First we have “Lamb of God”, “Rabbi”, “Teacher”, “Messiah”, and Christ. Names were very important in the Hebrew life and culture, as was genealogy. As you read the Old Testament, you’ll notice that whenever a man is named, it is almost always in the form of (his name), son of (his father’s name). Genealogy and ancestry were very important to the Israelites because they wanted to emphasize and stress the importance of connection to the Beginning. Before the Fall of Adam, humanity enjoyed an uninterrupted and unimpeded relationship with God the Father, and the ancient Jews wanted to preserve that memory. But why is Jesus named or referred to in the New Testament in so many different ways? The answer to that is because there are so many different aspects about Him and how He is the fulfillment of prophesy.
