St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church 14085 Peyton Drive, Chino Hills, CA 91709 (909) 465-5503 ● FAX (909) 465-1683 E-mail: [email protected] ● Web site: sptacc.org OUR PARISH MISSION STATEMENT We, the people of St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Faith Community, Baptized into Jesus Christ, formed by Word and Sacrament, and Empowered by the guidance of the Holy Spirit, Seek to be a visible sign of God’s love. We seek to build the Kingdom of God by: Using our unique gifts to minister to one another, Welcoming all and caring for those in need, Teaching our faith to others and Uniting in worship as a family with the Body of Christ. Dear HOLY EASTER PEOPLE of God: Jesus cannot be overdone in generosity! In our gospel, he did it again! He gives us two precious gifts that must be visible in our lives 24/7: First gift is LOVE! Jesus said, “Whoever loves me will keep my word, and my Father will love him... we will come to him and make our dwelling with him”. The LOVE that Jesus offers is sacred; it gives life; and it makes miracles. That LOVE is passed from the Father to Jesus, from Jesus to his disciples and to us, from parents to children, from heart to heart. When God’s love is welcomed into our lives, Jesus will put this sign in your heart: “Home Sweet Home!” And you will not be “Home Alone”, the Blessed Trinity will be with you, as Jesus assured you: “We [Father and Son] will come to him and make our dwelling in him”; and the “Holy Spirit... [my] Father will send in my name.” Second gift is PEACE! Jesus said, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. Not as the world gives do I give it to you!” When you read the newspapers and watch the news on TV, you see the lives of people destroyed by the evils of war, violence, hunger, hatred and poverty. These victims become hopeless and defuturized, and peace becomes elusive in their lives. But now, help is on the way! Jesus announces to us his divine gift, he said: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you... Do not let your hearts be troubled.” This gift offers serenity of the mind, and creates harmony of the soul. This gift is tested by Jesus’ suffering and death; it’s a product of his resurrection! So, today let’s engage ourselves in peacemaking. But just a reminder, peacemak- ing is not a part time ministry; it’s a full time vocation of every Christian. It should be carried at home, parish, community, nation, and in the world. Imagine this: if the billion Christians around the world become peacemakers, how would the world look like? If the Protestants, Catholics, and Muslims were united and witness for Jesus who is the Prince of Peace, how would the world look like? If the nu- merous married couples, will say, “Let us love with an everlasting love, what would be the face of families around the globe?” Certainly, our world would be: not a globe that is round, but an image of a HEART – always breathing life that is filled with love and peace, and joy. Today, beginning from the Eucharist of love and peace, let’s be lovers of life, let’s be peacemakers…let’s make miracles… Blessings of love and peace! Fr.

  • St. Paul the Apostle1 by Kenneth John Paul Pomeisl2
    St. Paul the Apostle1 by Kenneth John Paul Pomeisl2 St. Paul was born in the town of Tarsus in Cilicia which we today call Turkey around the year 3 A.D. His original name was actually Saul. He was a Pharisee which were a group of very devout Jews who were very serious about “the Law”. After Pentecost the Church, known then as “the Way”, slowly began to grow. As it did many of the Jews did not like this. They thought these newcomers were heretics. Saul was involved with putting these people in prison. He was at the execution of the first martyr, St. Stephen, who died by stoning. As he died St. Stephen asked God to forgive those who were killing him. Saul would continue to arrest every follower of the Way he could find. Some people believe that because of what St. Stephen did and how these people acted Saul started to have doubts about what he was doing but he would not change his mind. Then one day Saul was struck by a great light and blinded. As he was down here heard a voice asking “Saul, Saul, Why do you persecute me?” Saul asked this voice who he was and the reply was “I am Jesus, who you are persecuting”. After this Saul has his sight restored and becomes a Christian himself. After a while he is sent on missions to preach the Gospel to the Gentiles (non-Jews). St. Paul endures many hardships but creates many Churches and during this time writes many of his letters which we know today as Epistles in the New Testament.

  • Absolute Dating of John the Baptist, the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ, and Paul the Apostle
    Absolute Dating of John the Baptist, the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ, and Paul the Apostle Rainer Walter Kühne Bürgerstr. 4, 38118 Braunschweig, Germany e-mail: [email protected] I suggest the following scenario. In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius (14-37), that is late in 28 or early in 29, John began to preach a baptism. Jesus healed and preached and was crucified on the Preparation Day, Friday 3 April 33 during a lunar eclipse. Thereafter the apostles began to preach and raising the number of believers from 120 to 5000. This caused a persecution where Saul converted to Paul late in 33. Afterwards Paul spent three years in Damascus, where Aretas IV was king. Thereafter Paul did his first travel which lasted for fourteen years, that is 36-50. This was followed by the council of the apostles late in 50. Thereafter Paul did his second travel which lasted for at least a year and six months. Then he did his third travel which lasted for at least two years and six months, that is 52-54. Afterwards he was imprisoned for two years by Antonius Felix until Porcius Festus became procurator of Judaea in 56. There is general agreement that Jesus Christ was a historical person. Experts differ in dating his crucifixion (between 27 and 34) and the council of the apostles (between 48 and 51). Here I would like to investigate these two open questions. In his Ioudaike archaiologia historian Josephus Flavius mentioned John the Baptist (Antiquitates Judaicae 18.5.2). He mentioned also that James, the brother of Jesus called Christus, was executed in 62 (Antiquitates Judaicae 20.200).

  • What Did Paul Know About Jesus?
    What did Paul know about Jesus? Gregory C. Jenks The formative period of earliest Christianity falls between the execution of Jesus in 30 CE and the destruction of Jerusalem by the Roman armies in 70 CE. The New Testament would suggest that during those forty years there was no more influential figure than Saul of Tarsus, best known in later Christian tradition as Paul the Apostle. But what did Paul actually know about Jesus? What part did such information play in his personal understanding of the post-Easter Jesus? Does the historical Paul provide any help for contemporary people wondering to what extent information about the pre-Easter Jesus is relevant to the project of discipleship and faith? The ‘problem’ of Paul’s knowledge of Jesus One of the first problems to be faced concerns the definition of Pauline material. Is our inquiry to focus on the historical Paul or the canonical Paul? By canonical Paul, I mean the identikit picture of Paul that is created when all the biblical traditions associated with Paul are simply put together uncritically. Of the twenty-seven books that finally came to comprise the New Testament, 16 are attributed to Paul or his admirers: The Pauline corpus includes the seven letters widely accepted as authentic by New Testament scholars: Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Philippians, 1 Thessalonians and Philemon. Not surprisingly, these seven letters were all voted Red in the Spring 1997 Westar meeting. Then there are the disputed letters of 2 Thessalonians, Ephesians, Colossians, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy and Titus. Their claim to authenticity is widely challenged in New Testament scholarship.

D. Cohen, Harvard University Numerous ancient Jewish texts speak out against mixed marriage, the marriage of a Jew with a non-Jew. The poet Theodotus, the Temple Scroll, the book of Jubilees, the Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs, Philo, Josephus, and other works, written in Greek or Hebrew, in the land of Israel or the diaspora, clearly state that Jews are not to marry non-Jews. Rabbinic literature continues along the same trajectory. The reasons given for the prohibition usually reduce themselves to two: the non-Jewish spouse may turn the Jewish spouse away from the one true God and towards the worship of other, false gods; Jews constitute a ―holy‖ people that cannot tolerate foreign admixture. Some of these texts attempt to ground the prohibition in passages from the Bible, especially the Torah, while others are content to argue without scriptural support.

  • Marcion and the Corruption of Paul's Gospel
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Apollo Judith M. Lieu Marcion and the Corruption of Paul’s Gospel Abstract: That Marcion’s authoritative texts were a form of the canonical Gospel of Luke and a Pauline corpus is well established, yet the relationship between these is far less certain. Although it is widely assumed that Marcion identified or authorised his gospel through a reading of Paul’s defence of his gospel in Gal 1–2, this relies heavily on Tertullian who is driven by his own rhetoric and agenda. Tracing the different defences by Irenaeus and Tertullian of the authority of the gospel and of conflict between Paul and Peter alerts us to the complex negotiations involved in the textualization of the early Christian message, and in the attempts to hold together the Pauline revolution and the remembering of Jesus traditions. Marcion represents a different stage in this process, and although we can reconstruct for him a narrative, it is one which is fragmentary and remains allusive. Contemporary attempts to get beyond the rhetoric and special pleading must always be sensitive to the ideological framing that has accompanied narratives of the past from the start.

  • 1 St Cyprian Treatise IX. on the Advantage of Patience (In Vol V, ANF)
    St Cyprian Treatise IX. On the Advantage of Patience1 (in Vol V, ANF) Argument. -Cyprian Himself Briefly Sets Forth the Occasion of This Treatise at the Conclusion of His Epistle to Jubaianus as Follows: “Charity of Spirit, the Honour of Our College, the Bond of Faith, and Priestly Concord, are Maintained by Us with Patience and Gentleness. For This Reason, Moreover, We Have, with the Best of Our Poor Abilities, by the Permission and Inspiration of the Lord, Written a Pamphlet on the Benefit of Patience, “Which, for the Sake of Our Mutual Love, We Have Transmitted to You.” a.d. 256. 1. As I am about to speak, beloved brethren, of patience, and to declare its advantages and benefits, from what point should I rather begin than this, that I see that even at this time, for your audience of me, patience is needful, as you cannot even discharge this duty of hearing and learning without patience? For wholesome discourse and reasoning are then effectually learnt, if what is said be patiently heard. Nor do I find, beloved brethren, among the rest of the ways of heavenly discipline wherein the path of our hope and faith is directed to the attainment of the divine rewards, anything of more advantage, either as more useful for life or more helpful to glory, than that we who are labouring in the precepts of the Lord with the obedience of fear and devotion, should especially, with our whole watchfulness, be careful of patience.2 2. Philosophers also profess that they pursue this virtue; but in their case the patience is as false as their wisdom also is.

  • As a Fisher of Men, Patience Is a Must I Have Been Fishing a Total of One Time in My Life, and It Was Among the Longest Three Ho
    As A Fisher of Men, Patience is a Must I have been fishing a total of one time in my life, and it was among the longest three hours that I have ever had. It was on a summer day in 2006. I was serving as a transitional deacon, as priests become deacons first, and that summer was spent at a suburban parish, Saint Hubert’s in Chanhassen. It’s kind of a “get your feet wet” summer for what parish life will be like before you are ordained the following summer. An elderly parishioner got in touch with me and asked if I’d like to go fishing. Having never been, I thought sure, why not. After getting a one-day license, we headed to a local lake. After some struggles backing the boat into the lake (I kept shouting “turn” at the top of my lungs but he did not hear me, but that is another story), we went out onto the lake for a few hours that morning. Though he had some type of radar gizmo to let us know where fish might be, neither one of us got a thing. Hopefully though he was able to have a nice morning on the lake. Understandably, I think he knew I was a bit like a fish out of water trying this new activity, and did not call me back. Now if I liked fishing, I’m sure I could learn the sport. I’d probably read up on techniques and learn about spots and lakes, and I’m sure would eventually catch something.
