PETER February 16, 2014

“Among the numerous testimonies of the Fathers, I would like to quote St 's. It is an extract from one of his letters, addressed to the of . It is especially interesting precisely because it makes an explicit reference to the "Chair" of Peter, presenting it as a safe harbour of truth and peace. This is what Jerome wrote: "I decided to consult the Chair of Peter, where that faith is found exalted by the lips of an Apos- tle; I now come to ask for nourishment for my soul there, where once I received the garment of . I follow no leader save Christ, so I enter into communion with your beati- tude, that is, with the Chair of Peter, for this I know is the rock upon which the Church is built" (cf. Le lettere I, 15, 1-2). Dear and sisters, in the apse of St Peter's Basilica, as you know, is the monument to the Chair of the , a mature work of Bernini. It is in the form of a great bronze throne supported by the statues of four Doctors of the Church: two from the West, St Augustine and St , and two from the East: St and St Athana- sius.”

Page Eight St. Peter’s Church, Mansfield, Ohio February 16, 2014 JESUS AND THE LAW In today’s continuation of the on the Mount, Jesus addresses the relationship between the current interpre- tation of the law of and his own. He insists that he has come to fulfill, not abolish the law. Je- sus is explicit here. He repeats the phrase, “You have heard . . .” with the counterpoint, “But I say . . .” He will not settle for mere avoidance of outright murder or adultery or lying. He goes to the source of murder—hatred, resentment, spite. He insists on chaste living. He overrules the one-sided loopholes that allow men to divorce women, a law based on the view of women as property. He disallows all the means that people employ to play fast and loose with marriage. His words urge mutual fidelity. His listeners and followers are to honor the law wholly and not minimally. The consequences of failure are clear and severe. The smallest are watching. They are those rendered powerless by age or ignorance or circum- stance. These little ones depend on the word and action of the mature and knowledgeable, and they are not to be be- trayed.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION In a few weeks’ time, at the Chrism Mass of the diocese, fresh sacramental oils will be blessed and chrism con- secrated for use in every parish. Olive oil is the main ingredient of chrism, but olive oil with some exotic additives that change its character and purpose. Rich balsam and perfumes separate chrism from the pantry. Food no longer, neither is this oil for grooming or toning muscles. It has a breathtaking aroma that is both alluring and enduring. The prayer of consecration is a good meditation for the coming Lenten season since it focuses us on the goal of our journey, linking it with the olive‑bearing dove at the end of ’s stormy voyage of forty days. The dove sig- naled the birth of a new world, a society reborn from the wreckage of the old, drowned world of . At the end of our Lenten journey, the oil of chrism will be poured down in abundance on the brows of catechumens and infants, as well as on those to be confirmed or ordained. Lent puts us in touch with the hard edges of life in need of salva- tion, and the chrism of Easter joy redeems and restores. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
