(español) Domingo de Ramos Palm Sunday March 28th, 2021 Saint of the Month St. Alexander of Jerusalem From Rev. Alban Butler, The Lives of the Saints, 1866 ST. ALEXANDER studied with Origen in the great Christian school of Alexandria, un- der St. Pantenus and his successor, St. Clement. He was chosen bishop of a certain city in Cappadocia. In the persecution of Severus, in 204, he made a glorious confession of his faith, and though he did not then seal it with his blood, he suffered several years’ imprisonment, till the beginning of the reign of Caracalla, in 211, when he wrote to con- gratulate the church of Antioch upon the election of St. Asclepias, a glorious confessor of Christ, to that patriarchate; the news of which, he says, had softened and made light the irons with which he was loaded. He sent that letter by the priest St. Clement of Alex- andria, a man of great virtue, whom God had sent into Cappadocia to instruct and gov- ern his people, during his confinement. St. Alexander being enlarged soon after, in 212, was commanded by a revelation from God, to go to Jerusalem to visit the holy places. 1 The night before his arrival, Saint Narcissus, bishop of Jerusalem, and some other saints of that church, had a revelation, in which they heard a distinct voice commanding them to go out of the city, and take for bishop him whom God sent them. St. Narcissus was then very old and decrepit: he and his flock seized Alexander, and by the consent of all the bishops of Palestine, assembled in a council, made him his coadjutor and joint bishop of Jerusalem. SS. Narcissus and Alexander still governed this church together, when the latter wrote thus to the Antinoits: “I salute you in the name of Narcissus, who held here the place of bishop before me, and, being above one hundred and sixteen years old, is now united with me by prayer. He conjures you with me to live in inviolable peace and union.” St. Alexander collected at Jerusalem a great library, consisting of the writings and letters of eminent men, which subsisted when Eusebius wrote. He excelled all other holy prelates and apostolic men in mildness and in the sweetness of his discourses, as Origen tes- tifies. Saint Alexander was seized by the persecutors under Decius, confessed Christ a second time, and died in chains at Cæsarea, about the end of the year 251, as Eusebius testifies. He is styled a martyr by St. Epiphanius, St. Jerome, and the Martyrologies, and honored in the Roman Martyrology on the 18th of March; by the Greeks on the 16th of May and the 22nd of December. A pastor must first acquire a solid degree of interior virtue, before he can safely undertake to labour in procuring the salvation of others, or employ himself in exterior functions of the ministry. He must have mortified the deeds of the flesh by compunction, and the habitual practice of self-denial; and the fruits of the spirit must daily more and more per- fectly subdue his passions. These fruits of the spirit are charity and humility, which stifle all the motions of anger, envy, and pride: holy joy, which banishes carnal sadness, sloth, and all disrelish in spiritual exercises; peace which crushes the seeds of discord, and the love and relish of heavenly things, which extinguish the love of earthly goods and sensual pleasures. One whose soul is slothful, sensual, and earthly, deserves not to bear the name of a Christian, much less of a minister of the gospel. There never was a saint who did not carry his cross, and walk in the steps of Christ crucified. St. Alexander would have thought a day lost in which he did not add something to the sacrifice of his penance in order to continue and complete it. By this he prepared himself to die a victim of fidelity and charity. This is the continued mar- tyrdom by which every true Christian earnestly labours to render himself every day more and more pleasing to God, making his body a pure holocaust to him by mortification, and his soul by the fervour of his charity and compunction.

  • The Function of Christian Letters of Recommendation; from Paul to Julian
    THE FUNCTION OF CHRISTIAN LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION; FROM PAUL TO JULIAN Jason File A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in t he Department of Religious Studies. Chapel Hill 2006 Approved by: Bart Ehrman Zlatko Plese Peter Kaufmann ABSTRACT THE FUNCTION OF CHRISTIAN LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION; FROM PAUL TO JULIAN (Under the Direction of Bart D. Ehrman) This paper explores the function of Christian letters of recommendation, from the time of Paul (c. 50 CE) to the time of Emperor Julian (c. 350 CE). The first chapter provides background information concerning the function of letters of recommendation generally in antiquity. It is argued that the primary functions of such letters in Greco -Roman society was to provide hospitality for the traveler, and to testify to their trustworthiness. Where pagans used such letters for business or filial purposes, the early Chri stian church used them to build religious networks across the wide span of the Mediterranean world and the Levant. The second chapter of the thesis takes up the subject of hospitality practices in the Christian mission, and the third explores the use of letters of recommendation in the writings of the apostle Paul. Letters of recommendation were extremely important for the growth, spread and development of the Christian church. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter I. INTRODUCTION…………………………………………………………….1 II.

Around 220 the heresy of millenialism appeared, based upon Revelation 20:1-6. Its main proponent was Commodian, and it said that a one thousand year period of paradise was imminent. It was condemned at the Synod of Iconium in 230. The Council of Nicea (325) included “whose kingdom shall have no end” in the Creed to condemn it, and it was condemned again at the Council of Constantinople in 381. 2. By 230 Christianity was spreading widely in the Roman Empire; even a few emperors declared themselves Christians. So it was with Emperor Alexander Severus. But he was succeeded by Emperor Maximinius in 235, who hated Alexander and thus ordered that the leaders of the Church be destroyed. 3. In 244 Maximinius was succeeded by Emperor Philip, who was a Christian. 4. In 249 the soldier Decius became Emperor. He tried to restore Rome to its old glory, thus requiring return to Roman ancestral religion. His means was to arrest, threaten and torture ‘infidels’ into submission. From 249 until his death in 251, persecution of Christians was the second worst in Roman history. In June of 250 Decius decreed that all of the empire must call on the gods by sacrificing to them, and that all must obtain official certificates attesting they had done so.

  • The Blood of the Martyrs: the Attitudes of Pagan Emperors and Crowds Towards Christians, from Nero to Julian
    The Blood of the Martyrs: The Attitudes of Pagan Emperors and Crowds Towards Christians, From Nero to Julian Domenico Miletti Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in fulfillment of the requirements for the Master’s degree in Classical Studies Department of Classics and Religious Studies Faculty of Arts and Sciences University of Ottawa © Domenico Miletti, Ottawa, Canada, 2016 Abstract This MA thesis will discuss the reception of common, non-scholarly polytheists (pagans) to the persecution of Christians from the early empire until the Great Persecution (303-313, 322-324). Though modern scholars have addressed this issue and asserted that there was a change in attitude, many have not developed this into anything more than a passing statement. When chronologically analyzing the Christian acts, passions, letters, and speeches recounting the deaths of martyrs deemed historically authentic, and accounting for the literary and biblical topoi, we can demonstrate that the position of non-Christians changed. The methodology of this thesis will chronologically assess the martyr acts, passions, speeches, and letters which are historically accurate after literary and biblical topoi are addressed. These sources are available in the appendix. Throughout this analysis, we will see two currents. The primary current will seek to discern the change in pagan reception of anti-Christian persecution, while the second current will draw attention to the Roman concept of religio and superstitio, both important in understanding civic religion which upheld the pax deorum and defined loyalty to the Roman order through material sacrifices and closely connected to one's citizenship. Religio commonly denoted proper ritual practices, while superstitio defined irregular forms of worship which may endanger the state.

  • Canonical Norms Regarding the Administration of the Sacrament of Anointing with Holy Chrism
    TEOLOGIA 3 / 2020 TEO, ISSN 2247-4382 84 (3), pp. 30-42, 2020 Canonical Norms Regarding the Administration of the Sacrament of Anointing with Holy Chrism Constantin RUS Constantin RUS “Hilarion V. Felea” Faculty of Orthodox Theology, Arad, Romania Email: [email protected] Abstract The Holy Chrism is the Sacrament through which the newly baptized, immediately after baptism, receives the grace of the Holy Spirit to strengthen and enhance in the new life acquired through baptism. The relationship between the effects of this Mystery and of Baptism is similar to that of bodily growth and birth. For as the newborn needs special care to grow, so does the new born spiritual need to be strengthened by new gifts, to grow in the new life he has acquired through baptism. Therefore, the grace received through the Sacrament of the Holy Chrism is necessary for the growth and moral-spiritual perfection of the one reborn through baptism, for which some Holy Fathers, such as Cyril of Jerusalem, say that only after receiving the holy chrism, the new baptized is worthy to bear the name as a Christian. The necessity of this Sacrament is shown by Nicholas Cabasila, who says that through the Sacrament of the Holy Chrism, the powers given to man through baptism are put into work. Therefore, in this study we talked about the canonical norms regarding the ministers, the recipients, the matter and the form, as well as the special cases regarding the administration of this Sacrament. Keywords apostolic succession, Holy Chrism, Holy Myrrh, chrismation, antimension, canons, autocephaly, hererodox, economy.

  • The Pilgrimage of the Orthodox Through History
    McGuckin/The Orthodox Church 9781405150668_4_001 Page Proof page 5 31.12.2007 1:31pm Chapter 1 The Pilgrimage of the Orthodox through History ABRIEF HISTORY OF THE ORTHODOX FROM THE APOSTOLIC ERA TO THE MIDDLE AGES Perspectives of history It is a basic premise of Orthodox theology that the history of Orthodoxy is synonymous with the history of the church. Historians may puzzle over that, thinking of all the concerns, developments, and controversies that constitute church history that seem to have no bearing on the history of the Orthodox (the Avignon Papacy, the Inquisition, the Reformation, the Oxford Movement, the ordination of women, to name only a few), but Orthodox generally regard the church world-wide up to the Middle Ages as ‘their church’, with divisions and separations only becoming a chronic and permanent state of affairs as the high medieval West introduced more and more patterns of behaviour that were in conflict with the ancient procedures, and doctrines, established in patristic times. The Orthodox, at large, see the Latin church of the first millennium to be substantially in harmony with the Orthodox tradition, so that there was one church only in its validly distinct Eastern and Western forms. Accordingly, the Orthodox to this day in countries such as England, Italy, or France honour the ancient saints of the local churches there as entirely Orthodox. The Orthodox, when they find Anglican or Catholic churches in Europe that contain the relics of the ancient saints, will usually make a point of going to venerate them (sometimes having some confusion when they find the holy reliquaries of fathers and martyrs set up in glass museum-cases in sacristies rather than upon the altars).
