  • Saint Ann Maronite Church Information Booklet
    THE WAY TO PARADISE Saint Ann Maronite Church Scranton, PA INFORMATION BOOKLET Price and Sumner Avenue Scranton, PA 18504 (570) 344-2129 Page 1 of 27 THE FAITH AND LIFE OF THE CHURCH ARE EMBODIED IN HISTORY HANDED ON BY TEACHING EXPRESSED THROUGH LITURGY AND MEMORIALIZED IN ARCHITECTURE Msgr. Ronald N. Beshara Page 2 of 27 OUR PAST ... Maronite history has its origins in Antioch where the early Christians received their faith from Saint Peter after he fled persecutions in Jerusalem. According to Acts 11:26 the followers of Christ were called Christians for the first time in Antioch. The seat of the Church remained there for 7 years before being transferred to Rome. Prior to 741 there were 7 Syro-Catholic Popes, 5 of them were Syro-Maronites. Antioch was a Hellenistic city while Edessa to the Northeast maintained a Syriac-Aramaic culture followed by the Christians who later were to be called Maronite. Their tradition followed the language, theology and liturgy of Christ and His Apostles thus reflecting their mentality. After divisions and persecutions the Christians gradually migrated to the safety of the mountains in Lebanon. Thus the liturgical roots of the Maronite Church can be traced to Antioch and Edessa. In the 4th century Saint Maron, a friend of Saint John Chrysostom, fought the heresies that beset the Catholic Church at that time, particularly Arianism, Monophysitism and Nestorianism. His monastery became the principal center of pastoral and spiritual care for the area. The monks and followers, then called Maronites, were continually called upon and willing to sacrifice their lives for their religious convictions.

Booker University of British Columbia ([email protected]) –September 2008– [To be used for teaching purposes only. Please do not cite or reproduce without permission] To the venerable lord and father in Christ, Hatto, most noble duke and councilor, Thegan, a sinner, although a priest, proclaims greetings in the Lord Jesus Christ. When I had considered for a long time what, from my poverty, I might have offered to your serene 5 presence on account of your immense kindness, which, not because my merits were deserving [of it], you deigned to show to me constantly, and in order that I might entrust the memory of my name to your piety, nothing came to mind but that I might send to you some little work of the holy fathers, to which you could devote your reverend attention. Thereupon, I sent you [a copy of?] that book, which holy Alcuin, the supreme scholar, compiled from the various books of Saint Augustine into one [volume], a 10 book which he delivered to the most expert and noble emperor Charles (just as the prologue of that book notes), where can be found, as it is the greatest necessity of human affairs, [works] on the divine nature and essence, on the eternal growth of God the Father, on the eternal nativity of God the Son, on the eternal procession of the Holy Spirit, on the incarnation of Jesus Christ, Son of God, how God is a single trinity and a triple singularity, just as true faith bids [us] to believe, and he who does not believe 15 thus is a stranger from Christ.
