  • St. Polycarp Feast: February 23
    St. Polycarp Feast: February 23 Facts Feast Day: February 23 Imagine being able to sit at the feet of the apostles and hear their stories of life with Jesus from their own lips. Imagine walking with those who had walked with Jesus, seen him, and touched him. That was what Polycarp was able to do as a disciple of Saint John the Evangelist. But being part of the second generation of Church leaders had challenges that the first generation could not teach about. What did you do when those eyewitnesses were gone? How do you carry on the correct teachings of Jesus? How do you answer new questions that never came up before? With the apostles gone, heresies sprang up pretending to be true teaching, persecution was strong, and controversies arose over how to celebrate liturgy that Jesus never laid down rules for. Polycarp, as a holy man and bishop of Smyrna, found there was only one answer -- to be true to the life of Jesus and imitate that life. Saint Ignatius of Antioch told Polycarp "your mind is grounded in God as on an immovable rock." When faced with heresy, he showed the "candid face" that Ignatius admired and that imitated Jesus' response to the Pharisees. Marcion, the leader of the Marcionites who followed a dualistic heresy, confronted Polycarp and demanded respect by saying, "Recognize us, Polycarp." Polycarp responded, "I recognize you, yes, I recognize the son of Satan." On the other hand when faced with Christian disagreements he was all forgiveness and respect. One of the controversies of the time came over the celebration of Easter.

  • Year of Saint Joseph
    DIOCESE OF SACRAMENTO Office of Worship 2110 Broadway, Sacramento, CA 95818 - 916-733-0211 - [email protected] Year of Saint Joseph On the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception in 2020, Pope Francis has released an apostolic letter about Saint Joseph and declared a “Year of St. Joseph” from December 8, 2020 to December 8, 2021. The letter, Patris Corde (“a Father’s heart”) was released on the 150th anniversary of the proclamation of Saint Joseph as patron of the Universal Church. It can be found here: http://www.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/apost_letters/documents/papa-francesco-lettera- ap_20201208_patris-corde.html The Diocese of Sacramento is observing this Year in many ways. Journey with Joseph Pilgrimage We will soon be announcing Saint Joseph pilgrimage sites across the Diocese. Indulgence The Apostolic Penitentiary issued a decree on December 8, 2020, formally announcing the decision of Pope Francis to celebrate the Year of Saint Joseph through December 8, 2021. Special opportunities to receive a plenary indulgence were also included, subject to the usual conditions: sacramental confession, reception of Holy Communion, prayer for the intentions of the Pope, and total detachment to all sin, including venial sin. Due to the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the Holy See made provision in its decree that persons who are currently unable to go to Mass or confession because of public health restrictions may defer reception of those two sacraments until they are able to do so. Those who are sick, suffering, or homebound may also receive the plenary indulgence by fulfilling as much as they are able and by offering their sorrows and sufferings to God through Saint Joseph, consoler of the sick and patron saint for receiving a good death.

  • From a Treatise on John by Saint Augustine, Bishop Saint Augustine
    From a treatise on John by Saint Augustine, bishop Saint Augustine of Hippo Augustine of Hippo: (13 November 354 – 28 August 430 AD), was a Roman African, Manichaean, early Christian theologian, doctor of the Church, and Neoplatonic philosopher from Numidia whose writings influenced the development of the Western Church and Western philosophy, and indirectly all of Western Christianity. After exploring many religions and philosophies he became a Catholic in his thirties. He was the bishop of Hippo Regius in North Africa and is viewed as one of the most important Church Fathers of the Roman Catholic Church for his writings in the Patristic Period. Among his most important works are The City of God, De doctrina Christiana, and Confessions. Two kinds of life The Church recognizes two kinds of life as having been commended to her by God. One is a life of faith, the other a life of vision; one is a life passed on pilgrimage in time, the other in a dwelling place in eternity; one is a life of toil, the other of repose; one is spent on the road, the other in our homeland; one is active, involving labor, the other contemplative, the reward of labor. The first kind of life is symbolized by the apostle Peter, the second by John. All of the first life is lived in this world, and it will come to an end with this world. The second life will be imperfect till the end of this world, but it will have no end in the next world. And so Christ says to Peter: Follow me; but of John he says: If I wish him to remain until I come, what is that to you? Your duty is to follow me.

  • Church Fathers on Education
    "Hear this, ye fathers and mothers, that your upbringing of children shall not lose its reward [...] It was on account of his children that Eli perished (see I Samuel). For he ought to have admonished them, and indeed, he did admonish them, but not as he ought; but from unwillingness to give them pain, he destroyed both himself and them. Hear this, ye fathers, bring your children up with great, great care in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Youth is wild, and requires many governors, teachers, directors, attendants and tutors; and after all these, it is a happiness if it be restrained. For as a horse not broken in, or a wild beast untamed, such is youth. But if from the beginning, from the earliest age, we fix in it good rules, much pains will not be required afterwards; for good habits formed will be for them as a law. Let us not suffer them to do anything which is agreeable but injurious [...] Let us admonish them. Let us employ sometimes advice, sometimes warnings, sometimes threatening. Let us bestow great care upon them, and do everything, that the Evil One may not rob us of them." (St. John Chrysostom) "Fathers and mothers, Go and lead your children by the hand into the Church." (St. John Chrysostom) "Rear your children in the Lord [...] Teach them from infancy the Word of God. Discipline them when needed, and render them respectful to legitimate authority. Never let them exercise authority over you." (The Apostolic Constitutions) "With us everything should be secondary compared to our concern with children, and their upbringing in the instruction and teaching of the Lord." (St.

  • Saint Bede the Venerable, Priest and Doctor of the Church Saturday, May 25
    Saint of the Month for May 2013 (A monthly series compiled by Tom Quinlan) Saint Bede the Venerable, Priest and Doctor of the Church Saturday, May 25 We move to the world of England before the Norman conquest (1066 A.D.) when we look at the life of St. Bede. He was born in 672 or 673 A.D. near Jarrow (east of Newcastle), and lived near this famous monastery for just about his entire life. Nothing is known about his parents, and very little about his life. He joined the Benedictine order, was ordained a deacon at 19 and a priest at 30. He was known for his learning and writings during his life, and was given the title of “the Venerable” while still living, a rather rare honor. (The title was one of respect sometimes bestowed on distinguished members of religious orders.) He’s probably best known today for his Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum (Ecclesiastical History of the English People), which covered the period from Julius Caesar’s raids on England in 55-54 B.C. to the arrival of St. Augustine, the first archbishop of Canterbury, in 597 A.D. This work was finished in 731-732, and is essential for those wanting to know about the arrival of Christianity in England up to ecclesiastical events in Bede’s own time. It used a reckoning of the time of events based on the number of years since the incarnation of Christ, a scheme popularized by the wide circulation of his History , and still used today- A.D., anno Domini (in the year of the Lord).

  • St. Bede ~ 7Th Century.Pdf
    A STUDY OF “THE SAINTS THROUGH THE CENTURIES” By Richard Thornton SAINT BEDE THE VENERABLE (637-735) – SEVENTH CENTURY At the age of seven, Saint Bede was given by his relatives to the Abbot Benedict to be educated. From that age on, he spent all of his life at that Monastery, except for a few brief visits to nearby sites. Saint Bede spent his entire life in the Monastery, devoting himself to the study of scripture and to teaching and writing. Saint Bede became an extraordinary scholar, perhaps the most outstanding of his day. He was deeply versed in all the sciences of his times; natural philosophy, the philosophical principles of Aristotle, astronomy, arithmetic, grammar, ecclesiastical history, THE LIVES OF THE SAINTS, and especially, Holy Scriptures. From the time of his ordination to the priesthood at 30 (he had been ordained Deacon at 19) till his death, he was ever occupied with learning, writing, and teaching. Besides the many books that he copied, he composed 45 of his own, including 30 commentaries on books of the Bible. Saint Bede’s best known work is Historia Ecclesiastica, A History of the English Church and People, which he completed in 731. It is an accurate account of Christianity in England up to 729 and is a primary source of Early English History used today. Other notable writings were, Commentary on Genesis, On the Tabernacle (Commentary on Exod. 24-30), On the Temple (On 3 Kings 5-7), On the First Book of Samuel, On the Song of Songs, Thirty Questions on the Book of Kings.

  • 06-28 Saint Irenaeus
    “Holy Father, I pray not only for these, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, so that they may all be one, as you, Father, are in me and I in you” (Jn 17:20-21). Through Jesus, we learn “that there is one God and Father, who holds all things together and gives them their being. As it is written in the Gospel: No man has ever seen God, except the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father; he has revealed him.”i These words of explanation come from Saint Irenaeus, a bishop of the 2nd century, whose memorial we celebrate (today) on the 28th of June. Irenaeus was a trusted priest in the Diocese of Lyons at a time of persecution and widespread heresies. In 177, “he was sent to Rome bearing a letter from the community in Lyons to Pope Eleutherius.”ii In the brief time he was away in Rome, 48 Christians were martyred in his home diocese including the 90-year-old bishop. On his return home, Irenaeus was appointed as the new bishop, and he served faithfully for 25 years. Through his writings, Bishop Irenaeus taught the faith and countered the heretical thoughts of the day. Gnostics held “that the faith taught in the Church was merely a symbolism for the simple who were unable to grasp difficult concepts; instead…the intellectuals … claimed to understand what was behind these symbols and thus formed an elitist and intellectualist Christianity.” As bizarre as these heretical ideas were, they appealed to people who thought they were part of the select elite.
