With the latest rise in Covid19 numbers, a reminder of procedures to keep us safe at Mass is in order: Masks are required for all Masses and services at St. Ambrose Church. Wear your mask in and out of the church and at all times in the church, except when receiving Communion. Maintain six feet of social distance coming in, going out, between family groups in pews, and in the Communion Procession. DO NOT congregate and/or chat in the church or in the parking lot before or after Mass. Please do not blow your nose in the church. Come early or on time for Mass. If a particular Mass reaches capacity, the doors will be locked and people turned away. DO NOT KNOCK ON THE DOOR. IF YOU THINK THAT YOU EVEN MIGHT BE SICK, STAY HOME. Yes, the church may be chilly, but ventilation is one of the ways we prevent the spread of the disease. Remember the sick, those who care for the sick, and the vulnerable in your prayers.

Bible Bits May 2, 2021 It’s the Fifth Sunday of Easter and the First Reading is Acts 9:2631, wherein we find a portrayal of Barnabas. He was a fantastic spiritual guide. The Christian community did not warm up to Saul one bit. After all, prior to his miraculous conversion, he had severely persecuted them. But Barnabas took Saul under his wing. From Galatians 2:1 we learn that it took 14 years for Saul to become the Apostle Paul. Acts 4:36 says this fellow named “Joseph” was called by he apostles “Barnabas (which is translated ‘son of encouragement’).” The original Greek says “son of παράκλητος” (paraclete) someone called alongside, who intercedes, an advocate, a comforter, an encourager. Of course, the ultimate paraclete is the Holy Spirit. When Paul, Barnabas and Mark go on the first missionary journey into the Mediterranean world., Mark deserts and goes home, and is totally rejected by Paul.Barnabas takes Mark aside, and Paul eventually writes (2 Timothy 4:11), “Mark . is helpful to me in the ministry” The Respect for Life Ministry There’s a new push in Congress to force Americans to pay for abortion. For nearly 50 years, the Hyde Amendment and other similar laws have protected taxpayers from funding elective abortion. Now, some in Congress want to take away these laws. Without the Hyde Amendment, billions of dollars in healthcare funding could go to abortion. The first responsibility of any government is to protect human life. Our country fails to fulfill this most basic role when it neglects to protect life and instead actively promotes its destruction. Pope St. John Paul II wrote that “the value of democracy stands or falls with the values which it embodies and promotes” (Evangelium vitae 70). As Catholics, we are called to follow Jesus’ teachings in all aspects of our lives, including our participation in public and civic life. Together, “we need to bring the Gospel of life to the heart of every man and woman and to make it penetrate every part of society” (EV 80). Let us build a culture that upholds the dignity of every human person. Let us stand for those who have no voice. .

Hilary offers an understanding of salvation in which Christ saves humanity by assuming every single person into his body in the incarnation. My dissertation contributes to scholarship on Hilary in two ways. First, I demonstrate that Hilary’s teaching concerning Christ’s assumption of all humanity is a unique development of Latin sources. Because of his understanding of Christ’s assumption of all humanity, Hilary, along with several Greek fathers, has been accused of heterodoxy resulting from Greek Platonic influence. I demonstrate that Hilary is not influenced by Platonism; rather, though his redemption model is unique among the early Latin fathers, he derives his theology from a combination of Latin-influenced biblical exegesis and classical Roman themes.

  • ACTS Study Guide
    ACTS Episode 05 Barnabas Study Guide Episode: Acts Series No. 5 Narrator: Barnabas Primary Scriptures: Acts 4 Story Summary: Barnabas brings Paul into the Church, growth of Church outside Judea Location: Roman Empire; Jerusalem, Damascus, Antioch, Cyprus Time: 30 AD Death, burial and resurrection of Jesus. Pentecost. 33 AD (?) Paul becomes a Christian 46 AD Paul’s “famine” visit to Jerusalem Suggested Memory Scriptures: Acts 4:36-37; 9:26-27 Acts 4:36 says that Barnabas was a Levite from Cyprus who sold land to help the infant Church. The Bible does not say when Barnabas became a Christian or when he left his home of Cyprus, nor when or how he, as a Levite, came into possession of the land that he sold. Land was very precious to the Jews, and selling land was an act of great sacrifice. Giving all of the proceeds to the apostles was an act of service, but the new Christians would have seen the act of selling the land itself as even more important than the money exchanged. The growth of the early Church was possible because its leaders knew and trusted each other. Barnabas was one of these first leaders, chosen by God to vouch for Paul so he could become part of the Church. It was Barnabas who facilitated Paul's relationship with Peter, James, and the other apostles. Barnabas seems to have been more influential in the Church than Paul for many years. It also seems that Barnabas was Paul’s mentor for many years. You can get an inkling of that because Barnabas is always mentioned first when they are together.

  • The Preservation of 4Ezra in the Vulgate: Thanks to Ambrose, Not Jerome
    THE PRESERVATION OF 4EZRA IN THE VULGATE: THANKS TO AMBROSE, NOT JEROME Karina Martin Hogan One of the most dramatic moments in the reception history of 4Ezra was the publication in 1875 by Robert Bensly of a “missing fragment” of the Latin version, comprising the verses now numbered 36 to 106 of chapter 7, that he had discovered in a ninth-century codex containing five books of Ezra in Latin, in the Bibliothèque Communale of Amiens.1 These verses, though not entirely unknown in the West, since they had been translated in the 18th century from the Arabic version, were thought to be completely miss- ing from the Vulgate version.2 The source of the lacuna had been identified a decade earlier by a Professor Gildermeister, who discovered that a page had been excised from the Codex Sangermanensis, a Vulgate manuscript from the Benedictine monastery of St. Germain des Prés that is dated to “the eighth year of Louis le Débonnaire,” i.e., 821/2ce. “The inevitable conclu- sion,” Gildermeister had written to Bensly, “is that all known MSS [of 4Ezra], since none have been found without this lacuna, were derived from the Codex Sangermanensis.”3 Since Bensly’s discovery of the Codex Ambianen- sis, several Vulgate manuscripts that include the so-called missing fragment of 4Ezra have come to light, mostly of Spanish provenance.4 Still, the fact that a single manuscript with a page excised could have had such an impact on the transmission of 4Ezra in the West implies that the Latin version of 4Ezra was not very widely distributed in Europe prior to the ninth century.

Monthly Memory Verse School Age: Acts 1:8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come on you, and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea, and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Bible Story Preschool: Paul and Barnabas were teachers in the church at Antioch. God wanted them to go to many places and tell people about Jesus. The men in the church prayed for Paul and Barnabas before they left. The church sent them out as missionaries. Paul and Barnabas sailed to an island called Cyprus. They taught about Jesus in the synagogues (churches). The synagogue was a place where people went to pray and learn about God. Then they sailed from the island and went many other places. Everywhere they went, they told the people about God and that Jesus was God’s Son. Many people wanted to hear more about Jesus. In one town, Paul taught about Jesus in the synagogue. The people asked Paul and Barnabas to come the next week and teach them more about Jesus. A large crowd came to hear Paul. Some of the people believed Jesus was God’s Son; other people did not believe. Paul and Barnabas continued to be missionaries and tell people about Jesus in many different places.

  • Barnabas Position Description 15-16
    Barnabas Position Description BARNABAS VISION The vision of the Barnabas team is to help fellow students foster communities in which students are encouraged and empowered to Love God and Love others. That means we want to see students praying, worshiping, and forming Bible studies in their living communities. It also means supporting and partnering with students as they encourage their residence halls to serve and love others through cultural discernment, participating in community partnerships, learning to live sustainably and unlearning patterns of racism. It’s all work for the Kingdom of God. The name Barnabas means “son of encouragement” according to Acts 4:36 and in the Barnabas program we hope to create daughters and sons of God who are encouraged to go deeper in their relationship with God, love others well, and encourage others to do the same. Encouragement necessitates community. Therefore, all that we do is done within the framework of community with the hope that students embrace their floors and halls as part of their ministry. GENERAL DESCRIPTION The Barnabas Team works to provoke whole-life transformation. Like in Isaiah 61:1-4 this starts with knowing God and moves out to engaging the world beyond. Therefore, Barnabas members are first of all responsible for organizing dorm worship, Bible studies, and prayer times within the residence halls. Secondly, the Barnabas Team partners with Residence Life staff and other student leaders to foster Christian community in the residence halls and beyond. We do this by cross-pollinating with other hall leaders so that we can promote and support each other and help direct students to the activities that will most encourage their faith journeys.
