In the Eastern lectionary, however, it is used twice: here from Mark 9 and on the 10th Sunday after Pentecost from Matthew 17. Here the theme of fasting and prayer will be covered while on the 10 Sunday after Pentecost, the theme of a faith capable of moving mountains will be used.

Now Just Where Were We? It has been a long time since we were considering the Church Fathers in Unit 2. This is a “pick up session,” now that we have completed the 14 other sessions of this series on The History of the Early Christian Church. Some may remember that we were giving our attention to the early Church Fathers when the interruption of the Covid19 virus descended upon us, and we found ourselves under stay at home policies. Thanks to our pastor’s leadership ond our well equipped communications equipment and the skill of Pilip Muschke, we were able to be “on line` almost St. Jerome - Translator of Latin Vulgate instanetly. We missed only one session between our live class 4-5th Century and our first on line class. Today, we pick up the session we missed. We had covered two sessions of the three session Unit 2. The first of these sessions was on The Apostolic Fathers. These were those who had either known our Lord or known those who did. Among those would have been the former disciples of Jesus or the early first generation apostles. These were the primary sources to whom the ministry of our Lord was “handed off.” Saint Paul was among them.

  • Pope Peter of Alexandria
    THE SCHOOL OF ALEXANDRIA THE DEANS OF THE SCHOOL OF ALEXANDRIA POPE PETER OF ALEXANDRIA preparatory edition 2005 FR. TADROS Y. MALATY St. George Coptic Orthodox Church Alexandria - Egypt 4 1 HIS LIFE “Love is strong as death” Song 8:6. Love is neither a verbal action, nor a sentiment, rather is a positive action of self-giving, and self- sacrificing on behalf of the beloved one! Accordingly our father, the blessed Peter who acknowledged God as the true Love, he loved men, suffering many troubles from both the inside and outside church for the sake of the salvation of his people. St. Peter was tortured because of the persecution that befell his children, first under Diocletian and, later, under Maximin Daia. He suffered death every day for the sake of Christ. His spirit was bitter for the schism of the church that occurred by Melitius of Lycopolis (Asyout). He was in agony because of the heresies, especially of the Arians who denied the divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ. He wrote to the emperor while he was in prison expecting his execution, not to flatter him, but to ask him not to submit to his own thoughts, as he gave himself over to the demons. Finally, when almost all the Alexandrian believers went out to prison to die for their Pope (Archbishop), he gave his life secretly, asking God that his blood would be the last that is shed in Egypt under the Roman rule. In the “Encomium1,” attributed to his disciple Pope Alexander of Alexandria, he was likened to the prophets, high-priests, apostles, and the evangelists: “O glorious, excellent one, you who were born as a consequence of a vow as was John the Baptist! O, you who were given as a gift from God like the prophet Samuel, being worthy like that one of the gift of prophecy and wondrous revelations from the time of your childhood! O you who were called to the high priesthood like the priest Aaron - or rather (you who) have been exalted above Aaron, for he was (a priest) figuratively, while you are one in truth.

  • The Alexandrian and the Cappadocian Fathers of the Church in the Writings of Thomas Aquinas
    The Alexandrian and the Cappadocian Fathers of the Church in the writings of Thomas Aquinas Los Padres alejandrinos y capadocios en los escritos de Tomás de Aquino Leo J. Elders s.v.d. Pontifical Academy of St. Thomas Aquinas Resumen: Santo Tomás considera que los escritos de los Padres están directamente relacionados con las Escrituras ya que fueron escritos bajo la influencia rectora del mismo Espíritu Santo. Existe, pues, una continuidad de pensamiento entre los Padres como re- presentantes de la autoridad de los Apóstoles y la Biblia. Por este motivo, sería bueno re- conocer cuán profundamente santo Tomás se inspira en el pensamiento de los Padres. En esta contribución presentaremos los temas principales dentro de los escritos de los Padres Alejandrinos y Capadocios que han influido en el propio pensamiento de santo Tomás. Palabras clave: Atanasio de Alejandría, Cirilo de Alejandría, Basilio Magno, Gre- gorio Nacianceno, Gregorio de Nisa, Tomás de Aquino. Abstract: St. Thomas considers the writings of the Fathers as directly related to Scrip- ture since these were composed under the guiding influence of the same Holy Spirit. There exists therefore a continuity of thought between the Fathers as representatives of the au- thority of the Apostles and the Bible.1 For this reason, one would do well to recognize how deeply St. Thomas draw upon the thought of the Fathers. In this contribution we will present the main themes within the writings of the Alexandrian and Cappadocian Fathers that have influenced St. Thomas’s own thought.2 Key words: Athanasius of Alexandria, Cyril of Alexandria, Basil the Great, Gregory of Nazianzus, Gregory of Nyssa, Thomas Aquinas.

  • Trinity Doctrine and Christology of Saint Athanasius, Archbishop of Alexandria, in His Letter to Epictetus, Bishop of Corinth
    TRINITY DOCTRINE AND CHRISTOLOGY OF SAINT ATHANASIUS, ARCHBISHOP OF ALEXANDRIA, IN HIS LETTER TO EPICTETUS, BISHOP OF CORINTH Kyriakos S. Stavrianos DOI: 10.17846/CL.2019.12.1.3-12 Abstract: STAVRIANOS, Kyriakos S. Trinity Doctrine and Christology of Saint Athanasius, Archbishop of Alexandria, in His Letter to Epictetus, Bishop of Corinth. The letter of saint Athanasius of Alexandria to Epictetus of Corinth stands in the place of the most important text of the doctrinal texts of the Christian literature about Christology. It is recognizes to be an important text not only at the Arian controversy, but even after the first Ecumenical Council. Athanasius wrote it to answer series of questions, which come from the views of Appolinarianists, Illusionists and adherents of early Nestorianism. Jesus Christ is the Word of the God, who was incarnated. The Word of God assumed a human nature so that there are two natures truly distinct. He has become a human being to save the mankind. He took the human flesh by Virgin Mary and He was also remaining co-substantial with the God Father. Logos did not suffer during the Passion but only His human nature. There is not a temporal difference between God Father and Word of God. Keywords: Epictetus of Corinth, Arian controversy, Incarnation, Substantial, homoousios, Jesus Christ, Holy Trinity, Human flesh, Word of God Abstrakt: STAVRIANOS, Kyriakos S. Trojičná dogma a kristológia svätého Atanáza, arcibis- kupa Alexandrie, v jeho liste Epiktétovi, biskupovi Korintu. List sv.
