  • The Office of Woman in the New Testament
    The Office of Woman in the New Testament GEORG GUNTER BLUM 1 Indications of services rendered by women in the life of Jesus THERE are no direct statements by either the earthly or the Risen Christ on the position of women in the Christian community. In spite of this, the question as to the attitude of Jesus to women is both justified and significant. Although there is no answer either in developed teaching or in single statements, yet certain conclusions can be drawn from particular situations in the life of Jesus. The influence of Jesus, by word and deed, was exercised on both men and women without distinction. The Gospels depict for us a series of encounters of our Lord with women, and we are shown emphatically that it was precisely the women who were honoured by his miracles and his revealing teaching. 1 But of greater importance is the fact that a small group of women lived constantly in the society of Jesus and followed him, just as did the disciples. Luke the Evangelist emphasises this fact, and refers to it in one of his summarised reports of Jesus's activity: 'And the twelve were with him, and certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils, and Joanna, the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others which minis­ tered unto him of their substance' (Luke 8:1-3). This report is not exclusive to Luke, nor is it according to a specially Lukan construction.

  • The Supper at Emmaus Caravaggio Supper at Emmaus1 Isaiah 35
    Trinity College Cambridge 12 May 2013 Picturing Easter: The Supper at Emmaus Caravaggio Supper at Emmaus1 Isaiah 35: 1–10 Luke 24: 13–35 Francis Watson I “Abide with us, for it is towards evening and the day is far spent”. A chance meeting with a stranger on the road leads to an offer of overnight accommodation. An evening meal is prepared, and at the meal a moment of sudden illumination occurs. In Caravaggio’s painting, dating from 1601, the scene at the supper table is lit by the light of the setting sun, which presumably comes from a small window somewhere beyond the top left corner of the painting. But the light is also the light of revelation which identifies the risen Christ, in a moment of astonished recognition. So brilliant is this light that everyday objects on the tablecloth are accompanied by patches of dark shadow. Behind the risen Christ’s illuminated head, the innkeeper’s shadow forms a kind of negative halo. This dramatic contrast of light and darkness is matched by the violent gestures of the figures seated to left and right. One figure lunges forward, staring intently, gripping the arms of his chair. The other throws his arms out wide, fingers splayed. The gestures are different, but they both express the same thing: absolute bewilderment in the presence of the incomprehensible and impossible. As they recognize their table companion as the risen Christ, the two disciples pass from darkness into light. There are no shades of grey here; this is no ordinary evening light. On Easter evening the light of the setting sun becomes the light of revelation.

  • Saint Luke the Evangelist
    Week Six: Saint Luke the Evangelist When we read through the New Testament, we may not realize that almost one-fourth of the text is the writing of Saint Luke. He is one of the four evangelists, or Gospel writers. He is also one of the seventy apostles who were sent out, in pairs, by Jesus to preach and teach. Saint Luke is not one of the original twelve apostles who accompanied the Lord in His ministry. Saint Luke was born in Antioch and many scholars believe he was a Gentile, or possibly a Hellenistic Jew (a member of the group of Jews that combined Jewish traditional religion with Greek cultural elements.) In any case, he wrote and spoke in Greek and was clearly well-educated. Having been trained as a physician, he was a friend and companion of Saint Paul and went along on some of Paul's missionary travels. We know this because some passages in the Book of Acts, the second volume of Luke's writing, are put in the first person plural; Luke writes of things that "we" did or places that "we" went to, meaning that he took part in those events. Saint Luke's writings are rich and varied. Many of the well-known parables appear only in his Gospel. One story that only Luke offers is the encounter of Jesus with the ten lepers. He gives us the complete account of the Annunciation and of Jesus' birth and early years with Mary and Joseph. Later in the book, Luke describes Jesus standing before Herod Antipas and the friendship that develops between Herod and Pontius Pilate (23:6-12), an episode that doesn't appear in the other three Gospels.

  • St. Luke the Evangelist Catholic Community a Message from the Pastor April 2, 2020
    St. Luke the Evangelist Catholic Community A Message from the Pastor April 2, 2020 Dear Parishioners, Casting stones. We have all done that. Sometimes in a playful manner skipping them upon a body of water. Other times through an underhanded piece of gossipy judgement or a direct frontal attack lacking any semblance of self-integrity. Jesus found himself the probable victim of stone throwing quite often or coming to the aid of one who was about to be stoned. What lessons can we take from this moment in today’s gospel, including Jesus moving through the midst of the angry crowd without being touched? This is an important lesson for us. Jesus always had his critics and relatively a small number of disciples at least until after his resurrection. He had plenty of “listeners” who stood by on the sidelines; but very few that jumped into the mix. And, then he had those who would rather see him dead than show up at the synagogue for the next service. So, why did they want him dead? Jesus was a threat to their complacency, their power structures, religious leadership and stubbornness of heart, mind and soul. He wanted them to see the light, know the Truth and love their God with all their heart. His words – the Word – threatened them and their little sandbox. Jesus would just walk through that personal mess untouched because it wasn’t about Him, it was about them. Well, what does one do in this situation? They plot to kill. You can kill physically, emotionally, spiritually, relationally, etc.

  • A Precious Seed
    INFORMATIVE BULLETIN OF THE PAPHOS LATIN PARISH June 2017 A Precious Seed The Son of Consolation This month we celebrate the memory of Apostle Barnabas, of Cypriot origin and co-founder of the Church in Cyprus with Saint Paul and Saint Mark the Evangelist. He was called Joseph, and Barnabas means “Son of Consolation”. Indeed, Barnabas played a very important role in the nascent Church. He has been the link between the Church in Jerusalem and Paul, and it was he who made Paul meet the Apostles. (Acts 9, 27). He, also, steadied the bonds of the Church in Jerusalem –consisting mainly of Jewish origin Christians, with that of Antioch (Northern Syria) where the majority of the faithful were of ethnic origin, i.e. non-Jews. He accompanied Paul in his first Apostolic journey to Cyprus. It was in his native land, namely in the outskirts of the rich city of Salamis, that according to tradition Barnabas was martyred, in the year 61A.D., sealing in this way his total offering of his life to Christ and the Gospel. Barnabas’s life and work are part of this precious seed which bears fruit and builds up the Church through the ages. As it was then so it is nowadays: all Christians have an important role to play in the Church and the world. We must become the “link” connecting the Church with those who sincerely seek the face of God. In order to do so, however, we need to be in a living and intimate relation with the Risen Lord, in faith, hope and love.
