Jerry’s Tidbits The Trinity in St. Faustina's Diary Several places in her Diary, St. Faustina wrote about the Holy Trinity. Here is a couple of the principal ones. First of all, she says that as she advanced in her journey with Jesus Christ and came to appreciate more deeply the com- passion of His Heart, "His Trinitarian Being enveloped me entirely" (Diary, 1056). In other words, the more she grew closer to Jesus, the more she felt enveloped in the Holy Trinity. For example, on the Feast of the Ascension, 1937, she wrote: After Holy Communion I communed for a while with the heavenly Father. My soul was drawn into the glowing cen- ter of love. I understood that no exterior works could stand comparison with the pure love of God. ... I saw the joy of the Incarnate Word, and I was immersed in the Divine Trinity. When I came to myself, longing filled my soul, and I yearned to be united with God (Diary, 1121). Notice in the last quote how she connects a deeper appreciation for the Trinitarian mystery of God with an apprecia- tion of the "glowing center of love" in God. We find this again in entry 1020: Often she received a deeper understanding of the Blessed Trinity during the celebration of the Holy Eucharist. For exam- ple, in entry 472 she tells how one time she heard an angel singing "Holy, Holy, Holy" at the moment of the elevation of the Host, and then she received new light into the mystery of the Trinity: My soul is in communion with these Three; but I do not know how to express this in words; yet my soul under- stands this well. Whoever is united to One of the Three Persons is thereby united to the whole Blessed Trinity, for this Oneness is indivisible (472). Now she said I understand St. Paul who said, "Eye has not seen, not has ear heard, nor has it entered into the heart of man what God has prepared for those who love Him" (777). “For, in the name of God, the Father and Lord of the universe, and of our Savior Jesus Christ, and of the Holy Spirit, they then receive the washing with water.” The First Apology Chapter LXI - St. Justin Martyr St. Mary’s Clinic goes to Gatlinburg Sister Mariana Koonce, and Chris Wieland working at the Saint Mary’s Legacy Clinic during their visit to Gatlinburg.

  • Eschatological Inconsistency in the Ante
    Andyews University Seminary Studies, Spring 2001, Vol. 39, No. 1,125-132. Copyright 0 2001 Andrews University Press. ESCHATOLOGICAL INCONSISTENCY IN THE ANTE-NICENE FATHERS? ART MARMORSTEIN Northern State University Aberdeen, South Dakota From the late nineteenth century onward, eschatology has been one of the most important factors considered in determining the date, authorship, and integrity of works written during the NT and intertestamental periods. Followers of Albert Schweitzer and Johannes Weiss, for instance, have argued that eschatological ideas provide clear guidelines for separating Jesus' genuine teaching from later additions made by the church. According to this "consistent eschatological"approach to the NT, only those teachings reflecting confidence in a nearly-immediateParousia can with certainty be attributed to the "historical" Jesus or his first followers.' The Schweitzer/Weiss hypothesis has been used as a starting point by many patristic scholars, most notably Martin Werner. Werner tried to show that the "de-eschato1ization"of the gospel message, which took place in response to the delay of the Parousia, caused nearly every theological difficulty the church would later face.2 Recent studies in both patristics and the NT have moved away from the consistent eschatological approach. Brian Daley, for instance, provides an impressive refutation of Werner's monocausal explanation of the development of Christian theology.) Nevertheless, there is still some tendency to make at least some use of 'The eschatological theories of Weiss (Die Predigt Jesu vom Reiche Gottes, Gottingen: 1892) and Schweitzer (Von Reimarus zu WrederTiibingen:J.C.B. Mohr, 19069, particularly the idea that disappointment in the delay of the Parousia was a major problem in the early church, have been echoed again and again, not only in twentieth-century scholarly literature, but in the popular press.

  • 1 the Texts of and Arguments from Isaiah 7:14
    THE TEXTS OF AND ARGUMENTS FROM ISAIAH 7:14 IN THE DIALOGUE WITH TRYPHO Introduction Justin Martyr‟s Dialogue with Trypho (DT) is the locus classicus for Christian and Jewish relations in the mid-second century AD. However, there seems to be a paucity of scholarly works on DT,1 and most of these works consist of studies on Justin‟s LXX or canon or his supposed sources.2 However, very few works are extant which exegete or comment on particular passages in DT,3 and even fewer comment on the text and arguments in DT related to Isaiah 7:14.4 Therefore this paper will first attempt to provide some of the context of the debate 1 See Sara Parvis and Paul Foster eds., Justin Martyr and His Worlds, (Minneapolis: Fortress Press, 2007), 13-21. 2 For a fine example in French, see Pierre Prigent, Justin et L’Ancien Testament, (Paris: Librairie Lecoffre, 1964), 9, where he clearly introduces the nature of his study, “It is necessary to push the research into two directions and to wonder, 1) If one is able to identify the biblical text of the citation: is the text of Justin good, or is one obliged to suppose that the copyists have corrected it? 2) If the context, which I surrounded the citations, does not reveal the antecedent sources, is Justin assisted by the collections of Testimonia?” Though I was not able to consult this work in time, see also Helmut Koester, Septuaginta und Synoptischer Erzählungsstoff im Schriftbeweis Justins des Märtyres, (Heidelberg: Ruprecht-Karl-Universität, 1956) for a very detailed study of the text of Justin.

    SAINT BONAVENTURE CHURCH 4TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME FEBRUARY 3, 2019 As Christian stewards, our mission is to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ to all people through word, sacrament, service and community life. Filled with fury they rose up and drove him out of the town. Luke 4:29 Page two Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time PASTOR'S CORNER Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Last Sunday’s Gospel passage ended with Jesus saying to the people of Nazareth, “Today this Scripture passage is fulfilled in your hearing.” This Sunday the Gospel passage begins with Jesus saying this. Then he said, “Amen, I say to you, no prophet is accepted in his own native place.” The people in his home town see Jesus as just the son of Joseph. Jesus reminded them of the prophets in the PASTORAL past. Elijah asked a widow in a foreign country to provide him SERVICES with food and water and he promised that she and her son would not die of starvation. Elisha cured a Syrian army commander of his APPEAL leprosy even though he was an enemy of the Israelites. Both the army Kick-Off Weekend commander and the widow put their faith in the Israelite prophets. The citizens of Nazareth are so angry at Jesus for saying this that February 2-3 they tried to throw him over the cliff outside their town, “But Jesus Father Joe will be speaking passed through the midst of them and went away.” (Luke 4:21-30) at all Masses.

  • Some Reflections on Justin Martyr and the Nativity Narratives [Luke
    SOME REFLECTIONS ON JUSTIN MARTYR AND THE NATIVITY NARRATIVES by ERIC F. F. BISHOP MR. BISHOP'S med'itations on bIblical themes, as our r,eaders well know by this time, are regularly marked by a freshness of approach and illuminated by the author's experience of Near Eastern life and letters. The present article 'is specially appropriate for the Feast of the Epiphany. ~ VELLERS to Hebron today can hardly help noticing the large village on the right not far from the fork in the road to Beth­ lehem. This village is Bait J ala. which has been blessed with a triple identification.l Bait JaIa has always been largely Christian and chiefly Orthodox. It is not surprising that in 1954 there was published in Bait JaIa under the auspices of the Trustees of the Orthodox Church. a little volume entitled The Christian's Com­ panion containing both private devotions and liturgical services. Among these is the Arabic version of the Liturgy for the Feast of the Nativity.2 In this there would seem to be more emphasis on the Matthaean account of the visit of the Magi than on the Lukan story of the Shepherds. though this is not neglected. with references to We "cave" and the "manger". In one context the Majiis are mentioned as Kings of the Orient (Mashriq)-though without any specification as to their number or speculation as to the origin. In any case "King" would not mean the ruler of a district; but rather the chief of some tribe. perhaps like Lemuel King of Massa whose "words" are appended to the book of Proverbs.s In fact Solomon and David before him were really Kings of the Tribe of Judah.

  • The Apostle Paul and Justin Martyr on the Miraculous: a Comparison of Appeals to Authority James A
    The Apostle Paul and Justin Martyr on the Miraculous: A Comparison of Appeals to Authority James A. Kelhoffer HE SUBJECT OF MIRACLES has too often been ignored or overlooked in scholarly discussions of early Christian- ity.1 This article focuses on the writings of Paul and Justin TMartyr, in part because these authors exemplify points of both continuity and development from the writings of the NT to the early patristic literature.2 Although these authors employ differ- ent genres,3 there is no reason to suspect that either author’s choice(s) of genre has necessarily limited what he wished to write concerning the miraculous. Part of what is to be offered here is a subtle argument that Paul and Justin did, in fact, have 1 With S. Schreiber, Paulus als Wundertäter: Redaktionsgeschichtliche Unter- suchungen zur Apostelgeschichte und den authentischen Paulusbriefen (BZNW 79 [Berlin/New York 1996: hereafter SCHREIBER]) 161–165, on Paul: “Die Frage nach Wundertätigkeit und Wunderverständnis des Paulus hat in der exegetischen Forschung bislang kein großes Interesse gefunden” (161). 2 The idea for this article began with the author’s study of Mark 16.9–20, Miracle and Mission: The Authentication of Missionaries and Their Message in the Longer Ending of Mark (Tübingen 2000) 271–279, 315–321. The primary purpose of this earlier work is to offer comparative material for the interpreta- tion of Mark 16.9–20. This article offers a thorough revision, augmentation, and reorganization of materials pertaining to Paul and Justin and highlights a significant shift in the discussion of miracles as illustrated by representative figures of the first (Paul) and second (Justin) centuries.
