SAINT OF THE DAY (December 7)

Today, the Catholic Church celebrates the memory of St. Ambrose, the brilliant Bishop of Milan who influenced St. Augustine's conversion and was named a Doctor of the Church.

Like Augustine himself, the older Ambrose, born around 340, was a highly educated man who sought to harmonize Greek and Roman intellectual culture with the Catholic faith.

Trained in literature, law and rhetoric, he eventually became the governor of Liguria and Emilia, with headquarters at Milan.

He manifested his intellectual gifts in defense of Christian doctrine even before his baptism.

While Ambrose was serving as governor, a bishop named Auxentius was leading the diocese.

Although he was an excellent public speaker with a forceful personality, Auxentius also followed the heresy of Arius, which denied the divinity of Christ.

Although the Council of Nicaea had reasserted the traditional teaching on Jesus' deity, many educated members of the Church – including, at one time, a majority of the world's bishops – looked to Arianism as a more sophisticated and cosmopolitan version of Christianity.

Bishop Auxentius became notorious for forcing clergy throughout the region to accept Arian creeds.

At the time of Auxentius' death, Ambrose had not yet even been baptized.

But his deep understanding and love of the traditional faith were already clear to the faithful of Milan.

They considered him the most logical choice to succeed Auxentius, even though he was still just a catechumen.

With the help of Emperor Valentinan II, who ruled the Western Roman Empire at the time, a mob of Milanese Catholics virtually forced Ambrose to become their bishop against his own will.

Eight days after his baptism, Ambrose received episcopal consecration on 7 December 374. The date would eventually become his liturgical feast.

Bishop Ambrose did not disappoint those who had clamored for his appointment and consecration.

He began his ministry by giving everything he owned to the poor and to the Church.

He looked to the writings of Greek theologians like St. Basil for help in explaining the Church's traditional teachings to the people during times of doctrinal confusion.

Like the fathers of the Eastern Church, Ambrose drew from the intellectual reserves of pre-Christian philosophy and literature to make the faith more comprehensible to his hearers.

This harmony of faith with other sources of knowledge served to attract, among others, the young professor Aurelius Augustinus – a man Ambrose taught and baptized, whom history knows as St. Augustine of Hippo.

Ambrose himself lived simply, wrote prolifically, and celebrated Mass each day.

He found time to counsel an amazing range of public officials, pagan inquirers, confused Catholics, and penitent sinners.

His popularity, in fact, served to keep at bay those who would have preferred to force him from the diocese, including the Western Empress Justina and a group of her advisers, who sought to rid the West of adherence to the Nicene Creed, pushing instead for strict Arianism.

Ambrose heroically refused her attempts to impose heretical bishops in Italy, along with her efforts to seize churches in the name of Arianism.

Ambrose also displayed remarkable courage when he publicly denied communion to the Emperor Theodosius, who had ordered the massacre of 7,000 citizens in Thessalonica leading to his excommunication by Ambrose.

The chastened emperor took Ambrose's rebuke to heart, publicly repenting of the massacre and doing penance for the murders.

“Nor was there afterwards a day on which he did not grieve for his mistake,” Ambrose himself noted when he spoke at the emperor's funeral.

The rebuke spurred a profound change in Emperor Theodosius. He reconciled himself with the Church and the bishop, who attended to the emperor on his deathbed.

St. Ambrose died in 397.

His 23 years of diligent service had turned a deeply troubled diocese into an exemplary outpost for the faith.

His writings remained an important point of reference for the Church, well into the medieval era and beyond.

St. Ambrose has been named one of the “Holy Fathers of the Church, whose teaching all bishops should in every way follow.”

THE DESCRIPTION OF SAINT AMBROSE OF MILAN Feast Day: December 7

"It is preferable to have a virgin mind than a virgin body. Each is good if each be possible; if it be not possible, let me be chaste, not to man but to God."

Ambrose joins Augustine, Jerome, and Gregory the Great as one of the Latin Doctors of the Church.

Gala Supper Buffet Menu:

-Baked catfish fillets, seasoned with white wine, lemon juice, cilantro, butter, and garlic. -Hand-strained noodles with shrimp and red sauce. -Grilled Behrenese sausage with sauerkraut. -Fresh-baked bread(sourdough, whole wheat, Valentinan rolls). -Unrefined silicates of various families(quartz, topaz, serpentine) for Miss Fantastic and her entourage. -A suckling pig, to keep up appearances. -Diced and skewered fruit from our friends in Walden.

This is a supper, Marian, so keep the drinks easy; champagne, ciders, light ales. At the same time, don't be stingy; make sure that any hand without a drink in it is given the option otherwise. Blitzed-out drunk does not an enjoyable party make, but neither does stone sober.

As long as conversation flows freely, we'll have done our job well.

This week on Roll Dice And Cry: How far are you willing to go?

Il Siciliano Aleksi: syö!-testit Part 2

Tällä kertaa astelemme Helsingin turistialueen keskellä olevaan italialaiseen. Aleksanterinkadulla pitkään sijainnut ravintola ei aiemmin ollut tuttu, joten kympin päivät alensi kynnystä käydä testaamassa. Paikan Syö!-annoksena tilaan Pasta Valentinan, eli poron jauhelihalla ja herkkutateilla (ja ilmeisesti vähän muillakin sienillä) höystetyn setin. Eros Ramazzotti soi taustalla, ja italialaiseen tyyliin henkilökunnalla ei ole kiire. Kokki plärää kännykkää.

Paikan tunnelma on mukiinmenevä, ja asiakaskunta vaihtelee senioriosaston turisteista nuoriin helsinkiläisiin. Pasta-annoksen ulkonäkö ei aiheuta jyrkkää mielipidettä suuntaan tai toiseen, mutta maku on ihan positiivinen, tosin poronlihaa saa melkein etsimällä etsiä. Sinänsä ravintola on kyllä onnistunut tekemään kymmenen euron annoksen, jossa hinta-laatusuhde on paikallaan. Kuitenkin, mikäli tulet syömään tätä annosta todella nälkäisenä, suosittelen alkuruokaa pohjalle.

En tiedä johtuiko siitä, että kysyimme alussa Syö!-annoksia, mutta henkilökunnan panostus ruokailuamme kohtaan on aikalailla välinpitämätön. Lähtiessämme saamme puolittaisen heipan peräämme.

from @remajasolehcibiru - BTS-049. Jangan Nodai Cintamu! #TemanSurga, bulan februari identik dengan nuansa CINTA. Tema obrolan yang nggak ada habisnya bagi remaja. Luapan emosi yang bisa bikin pelakunya super bahagia meski tak sedikit juga yang akhirnya hidup nelangsa. Ya itulah kekuatan cinta. Sayangnya, cinta bagi remaja dimaknai sempit hanya rasa suka kepada lawan jenis. Nggak ada yang lain. Padahal Allah swt ciptakan anugera terindah itu tak hanya untuk memadu kasih dua insan yang tengah dimabuk asmara. Tapi juga bisa berupa cinta kepada orang tua, kepada kerabat dan anggota keluarga. Rasa cinta juga muncul dalam ekspresi sayang kepada saudara seakidah. Rasul ngingetin kita, “Tidak beriman salah seorang di antara kalian hingga ia mencintai saudaranya sebagaimana ia mencintai dirinya sendiri.” Dan yang paling penting, rasa cinta itu harus kita tanamkan kepada Allah swt dan Rasul-Nya. Ini ekspresi cinta kita paling tinggi. Nggak boleh ada yang ngalahin. Menurut al-Zujaj: “Cintanya manusia kepada Allah dan RasulNya adalah menaati keduanya dan ridho terhadap segala perintah Allah dan segala ajaran yang dibawa Rasulullah saw”. Itu artinya, kalo ada ekspresi cinta yang menyalahi perintah-Nya, itu mall praktek namanya. Cinta Yang Ternoda. Emang ada? Banyak. Ada yang pacaran, bilangnya temenan tapi bermesraan, termasuk pada ngikut valentinan. Padahal jelas-jelas perayaan hari kasih sayang itu mengancam akidah dan masa depan kita lho. Nggak percaya? Baca deh buletin @temansurga terbaru kesayangan kamu berjudul JANGAN NODAI CINTAMU!. Lengkapnya, kamu bisa baca online di sini >> http://bit.ly/2MZTVll Nah temans, jangan biarkan cinta kita ternoda lantaran melanggar hukum syara. Say no to ViDi. Yuk bareng-bareng ikut ngaji!
