The Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary to St. Elizabeth

Feast day: May 31 (New) July 2 (Trad)

And it came to pass, that when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the infant leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost: And she cried out with a loud voice, and said: Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For behold as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy. And blessed art thou that hast believed, because those things shall be accomplished that were spoken to thee by the Lord. And Mary said: 

My soul doth magnify the Lord. And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid; for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. Because he that is mighty, hath done great things to me; and holy is his name. And his mercy is from generation unto generations, to them that fear him. He hath shewed might in his arm: he hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart.  He hath put down the mighty from their seat, and hath exalted the humble. He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away. He hath received Israel his servant, being mindful of his mercy: As he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed for ever. Luke (1:41-55)

Today we also celebrate the Venerable Mark the Eugenicus, Archbishop of Ephesus and Pillar of Orthodoxy. Saint Mark was born in Constantinople in 1392 AD where he grew up in Christian piety. Many members of his family were clergy, and even hierarchs, and thus Mark was surrounded by the Orthodox faith from a young age. During this time, the Ottoman Empire was drawing closer to Constantinople, and out of fear of attack, the Byzantine Emperor John Paleologos agreed to make ties with the Roman Catholic Church in order to strengthen their armies and defeat the Ottomans. This union, however, required various theological compromises from the Orthodox in order to reunite the Eastern and Western Churches, especially the introduction of the Filioque clause into the Nicean Creed. Saint Mark, being elevated to the See of Ephesus, stood up for the Orthodox faith and was the only Eastern bishop to refuse to sign the decree of this council which agreed to this compromise. When the members of his own delegation attempted to persuade him to sign the document, he boldly stated, “there can be no compromise in matters of the Orthodox Faith.” During this council, he also refuted the doctrine of purgatory and as well as the primacy of the Roman Pope. When he returned to Ephesus, he urged his flock to beware of the snares of the West and to defend the Orthodox faith. Because of his steadfastness in the faith, he has been appropriately given the title “Pillar of Orthodoxy” along with Saint Photius the Great and Saint Gregory Palamas. The Great and Venerable Mark reposed peacefully in 1444.

IN STILLNESS, EARTH AWAITS THE RESURRECTION

As a Roman Catholic, I deeply engaged in the Way of the Cross and mass on Good Friday. Writing on my Fold 5 in church the next day, I reflected on the journey from crucifixion to resurrection. Amid intense rainfall and flooding... the experience...

21st Century. To be more precise, 30th March, 2024. Being Roman Catholic, I observed, attended and participated in the Way of the Cross and mass. This was one of those times when I was deeply engrossed in the 14 stations; not merely partipant or spectator. I have begun writing or to be more precise, thumb-tapping on my Fold 5, this article in church. No, this is not Friday (the same day). It is…

December 4, 2023 Monday of the First Week of Advent

Matthew 8:5–11 When Jesus entered Capernaum, a centurion approached him and appealed to him, saying, “Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, suffering dreadfully.” He said to him, “I will come and cure him.” The centurion said in reply, “Lord, I am not worthy to have you enter under my roof; only say the word and my servant will be healed. For I too am a man subject to authority, with soldiers subject to me. And I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come here,’ and he comes; and to my slave, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.” When Jesus heard this, he was amazed and said to those following him, “Amen, I say to you, in no one in Israel have I found such faith. I say to you, many will come from the east and the west, and will recline with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob at the banquet in the Kingdom of heaven.” In today's Gospel, a Roman centurion approaches Jesus and tells him that his servant is lying at home paralyzed and suffering terribly. He admits that he is not worthy to have Jesus enter his home, but he believes that if Jesus simply says the word, his servant will be healed. To an outsider, this request may seem impossible, as the centurion is asking for a remote healing with just a word. However, the centurion has faith and trusts that Jesus can perform this miracle. Søren Kierkegaard once defined faith as "a passion for the impossible." This does not mean that God is opposed to reason or that he wants us to be unrealistic. Rather, he wants us to use our powers of imagination and analysis while also having faith in what reason cannot see. The centurion's faith was so strong that Jesus praised him, saying, "I have not found such faith in anyone in Israel."

Saint Norbert 1080-1134 Feast Day: June 6 Patronage: Bohemia

Saint Norbert was born into a wealthy German family and lived a worldly life. In 1115, riding his horse during a storm, he had a literal “off his horse” conversion. He was thrown from his horse and when he woke up he asked: “Lord, what do you want me to do?” Our Lord said “Turn from evil and do good. Seek peace and pursue it.” Norbert completely reformed his ways, was ordained a priest and eventually Archbishop. He was given permission to preach against the heresy doubting the true presence and clerical reforms. In 1120, he started the Order of Premontre, using the rule of St. Augustine, emphasizing poverty, prayer and community life.

In this episode of Author to Author, Andrew Likoudis talks about editing his grandfather's book Scholars of the Sacred: Dominican Theologians in Late Medieval Byzantium. This in-depth study of the Catholic–Orthodox reunion efforts during the tumultuous 11th–15th centuries reveals the vital role played by the Dominican Order in shaping the theological and political discourse of that era, with a focus on the contributions of prominent Dominican figures such as John Stojkovich of Ragusa, Andrew Chrysoberges, Manuel Calecas, Demetrios Cydones, Thomas Aquinas and many others who played a critical role in the events leading to the Council of Florence. https://enroutebooksandmedia.com/scholarsofthesacred/
