St. John Cassian

Today the Church remembers St.John Cassian, a theologian and monk who was born around 360 and died in 435. He was born in present day Romania.

While in Rome, John Cassianaccepted the invitation to found an Egyptian style monastery in southern Gaul,near Marseille. His foundation, the Abbey of St. Victor, a complex ofmonasteries for both men and women, was one of the first such institutes in thewest, and served as a model for later monastic development. Cassian’s abbey andwritings influenced St. Benedict, who incorporated many of the same principlesinto his monastic rule. Since Benedict’s rule is still used by Benedictine,Cistercian, and Trappist monks, the thought of John Cassian still guides thespiritual lives of thousands of men and women in the Western Church.

John Cassian wrote two majorspiritual works, the Institutions andConferences. In these, he codifiedand transmitted the wisdom of the Desert Fathers of Egypt. The Institutes deal with the externalorganization of monastic communities, while the Conferences deal with "the training of the inner man and theperfection of the heart."

The spiritual traditions ofJohn Cassian had an immeasurable effect on Western Europe. Many differentwestern spiritualities, from that of St. Benedict to that of St. Ignatius ofLoyola, owe their basic ideas to John Cassian.

His feast day is traditionallycelebrated on 29 February, but because this is a leap year day and occurs everyfour years, official Church calendars often transfer his feast to another date,usually the day before, February 28.

Let us pray: Holy and Mighty One, whose beloved Son JesusChrist blessed the pure in heart: We give you thanks for the life and teachingsof John Cassian that draw us to a discipline of holy living for the sake ofyour reign. Call us to turn the gaze of the eyes of our soul always toward you,that we may abide in your love, shown to us in our Savior Jesus Christ; whowith you and the Holy Spirit is one God, living and true, to the ages of ages.Amen.

Who Is Foolish?

Today’s Epistle reading comes from Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians. He raises a theme that is not foreign to our age. Not only in Paul’s day, but in ours as well, there are many who think that Christianity is pure foolishness:

Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, God decided, through the foolishness of our proclamation, to save those who believe. For Jews demand signs and Greeks desire wisdom, but we proclaim Christ crucified, a stumbling-block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, but to those who are the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. For God’s foolishness is wiser than human wisdom, and God’s weakness is stronger than human strength.

Consider your own call, brothers and sisters: not many of you were wise by human standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; God chose what is low and despised in the world, things that are not, to reduce to nothing things that are, so that no one might boast in the presence of God. He is the source of your life in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption, in order that, as it is written, ‘Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.’ (1 Cor. 1: 20-31).

There are those in the world who think that Christians are indeed foolish people, that what we believe is pure folly. That thinking stems from a belief that humanity is totally self-sufficient, that we are capable on our own to make this a better world. From where I stand, that seems to be what is truly foolish! Just look at our human history. It is filled with greed, violence, and exploitation of other human beings.

Christianity is not a philosophy or a set of high ideals. It is not a path of spirituality or even a rule of life. It is not a political agenda. It may very well include all those things, but at its very heart Christianity is something different. It is good news about an event which happened, an event which has changed the world, and this world can never be the same again. Those who believe it and live by it will never be the same again either. This is Paul’s message to the Corinthians-and to us today. You and I have been and continue to be transformed by the resurrected Jesus. It may be foolish in the eyes of many, but from where I stand, it makes much more sense that putting my trust in the humanity, and the Stalins, Hitlers, Mao Tse-Tungs, Pol Pots and Saddam Husseins of the world.

Let us pray: Almighty and everlasting God, you hate nothing you have made and forgive the sins of all who are penitent: Create and make in us new and contrite hearts, that we, worthily lamenting our sins and acknowledging our wretchedness, may obtain of you, the God of all mercy, perfect remission and forgiveness; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

George Herbert: Poet & Priest

Today the Episcopal Church remembers a poet and priest, George Herbert. He was born on 3 April 1593 into an aristocratic family. George received a good education that led to his holding prominent positions at Cambridge University and Parliament. When he was a student at Trinity College, Cambridge, George excelled in languages and music. Although he went to college with the intention of becoming a priest, his scholarship attracted the attention of King James. George served in parliament for two years, and after the death of King James, George gave up his secular ambitions and in 1630 was ordained a priest in the Anglican Church. He spent the rest of his life faithfully as a rector of the little parish of St. Peter in Fugglestone, and St. Andrew in Bemerton. He was noted for unfailing care for his parishioners, bringing the sacraments to them when they were ill, and providing food and clothing when they were in need.

George is known for his poetry, so you may remember him from your days in high school. Throughout his life, he wrote religious poems. Charles Cotton described him as a “soul composed of harmonies”. George wrote in a letter to Nicholas Ferrar that his poems were “a picture of spiritual conflicts between God and my soul before I could subject my will to Jesus, my Master”. Some of Herbert’s poems have endured as hymns, including “King of Glory, King of Peace”, “Let All the World in Every Corner Sing” and “Teach me, my God and King”. His first biographer, Izaak Walton, described Herbert on his death-bed as composing such hymns and anthems as he and the angels now sing in heaven.

He died at the age of 39 in his parish.

Let us pray: Our God and King, who called your servant George Herbert from the pursuit of worldly honors to be a pastor of souls, a poet, and a priest in your temple: Give us grace, we pray, joyfully to perform the tasks you give us to do, knowing that nothing is menial or common that is done for your sake; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Thank you to everyone for lifting the Makowski family up in prayer during this time of my Dad’s death. Your loving presence was certainly felt by all of us over these last 2 weeks.

Thank you to everyone who made the Sacred Places Tour such a success. We have a few hundred people visit St. Augustine in spite of the rainy weather! We even had a few extra visitors on Sunday! Many commented on how welcome they felt simply crossing the threshold of the Church, and after they met everyone, they commented on what a loving place St. Augustine’s is.

Corlenius the Centurion

Today the Church remembers a person who appears in the Acts of the Apostles, Cornelius the Centurion. James Kiefer writes:

Cornelius is called a God-fearer--that is to say, he was a monotheist, a Gentile who worshipped the One God. The Jews traditionally recognized that such Gentiles had a place in the Family of God, and they are mentioned along with the priests (House of Aaron), the Levites (House of Levi), and the Jews or Israelites (House of Israel) in Ps 115:9-13, Ps 118:2-4, and Ps 135:19-20. In New Testament times, an estimated ten per cent of the population of the Roman Empire consisted of God-fearers, Gentiles who recognized that the pagan belief in many gods and goddesses, who according to the myths about them were given to adultery, treachery, intrigue, and the like, was not a religion for a thoughtful and moral worshipper, and who had accordingly embraced an ethical monotheism -- belief in One God, who had created the world, and who was the upholder of the Moral Law. Although only a few of them took the step of formal conversion to Judaism, undergoing circumcision and accepting the obligations of keeping the food laws and ritual laws of Moses and his rabbinical interpreters, most of them attended synagogue services regularly.

Cornelius, then, was a Roman centurion, and a God-fearing man. One day, as he was praying, an angel appeared to him and told him to send a messenger to Joppa and ask Peter to come and preach to him. Peter, meanwhile, was given a vision that disposed him to go with the messenger. When Peter had preached to Cornelius and his family and friends, the Holy Spirit fell on them, as on the first Christians at Pentecost (Acts 2), and they began to speak in other tongues. Thus, there was ample evidence to convince Jewish Christians who hesitated to believe that it was the will of God that Gentiles should be brought into the Church.

Cornelius was the first Gentile converted to Christianity, along with his household, and Luke, recording this event, clearly regards it as an event of the utmost importance in the history of the early Church, the beginning of the Church's decision to admit Gentiles to full and equal fellowship with Jewish Christians.

Cornelius lived in Caesarea, the political capital of Judea under Herod and the Romans. (Given that Jerusalem was a holy city to the Jews, it would have been needlessly provocative for the Romans to establish their headquarters there.) Although he is not mentioned again, he and his household presumably formed the nucleus of the Christian community that we find mentioned later (Acts 8:40; 21:18) in this important city.

Let us pray: O God, who by your Spirit called Cornelius the Centurion to be the first Christian among the Gentiles: Grant to your Church such a ready will to go where you send and to do what you command, that under your guidance it may welcome all who turn to you in love and faith, and proclaim the Gospel to all nations; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

The Martyrs of Japan

Today the Church remembers those on Japan who gave up their lives for the Christian faith which was introduced to that country in the 16th century by the Jesuits and the Franciscan orders. By the end of the 16th century, there were some 300,000 Christians in Japan.

The Japanese were not found of outside influences, so the persecution of the Christian converts began. James Kiefer writes: “The first victims were six Franciscan friars and twenty of their converts, who were executed at Nagasaki on 5 February 1597. (They were tied to crosses, the crosses were raised to an upright position, and they were then quickly stabbed to death by a soldier with a javelin.) After a short interval of relative tolerance, many other Christians were arrested, imprisoned for life, or tortured and killed; and the Church was totally driven underground by 1630. However, when Japan was re-opened to Western contacts 250 years later, it was found that a community of Japanese Christians had survived underground, without clergy, without Scriptures, with only very sketchy instructions in the doctrines of the faith, but with a firm commitment to Jesus as Lord.”

Let us pray: O God our Father, source of strength to all your saints, who brought the holy martyrs of Japan through the suffering of the cross to the joys of life eternal: Grant that we, being encouraged by their example, may hold fast the faith we profess, even to death itself; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

We pay in thanksgiving for Jillian Bain who was confirmed yesteray and Raul Sanchez who was received into the Episcopal Church by Bishop Harrison. Thank you to everyone who made the day special!

Discipline

The Epistle reading for today is a continuation of the Letter to the Hebrews. We read:

Consider him who endured such hostility against himself from sinners, so that you may not grow weary or lose heart. In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. And you have forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as children—‘My child, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, or lose heart when you are punished by him; for the Lord disciplines those whom he loves, and chastises every child whom he accepts.’

Endure trials for the sake of discipline. God is treating you as children; for what child is there whom a parent does not discipline? If you do not have that discipline in which all children share, then you are illegitimate and not his children. Moreover, we had human parents to discipline us, and we respected them. Should we not be even more willing to be subject to the Father of spirits and live? For they disciplined us for a short time as seemed best to them, bu the disciplines us for our good, in order that we may share his holiness. Now,discipline always seems painful rather than pleasant at the time, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it. (Heb. 12: 3-11).

The key word in today’s reading is “discipline.” When you think of discipline,what comes to mind, perhaps a childhood memory? Maybe you recall your disciplining your children. You might even recall a time when you saw someone else disciplining their children, or failing to discipline their children. The word “discipline” as a verb means “to train, to develop by instruction or by exercise.” Paul is talking about being in the habit of doing things the right way, the moral way, God’s way. That also means that discipline is a matter of love and must be done in a loving manner. The more we practice doing what is right and good, the easier it becomes to the point where it becomes a very part of who we are. When God disciplines us, God is training us to be more Christ-like, to be bearers of His love to the world.

Let us pray: Almighty God, give us grace to cast away the works of darkness, and put on the armor of light, now in the time of this mortal life in which your Son Jesus Christ came to visit us in great humility;that in the last day, when he shall come again in his glorious majesty to judge both the living and the dead, we may rise to the life immortal; through him who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Presentation of Our Lord in the Temple

Today the Church celebrates the Presentation of Our Lord in the Temple which we read about in the second chapter of the Gospel according to Luke. Under the Mosaic Law, a woman was ritually “unclean” for 40 days after childbirth, when she was to present herself to the priests and offer sacrifice—her “purification.” Contact with anyone who had brushed against mystery—birth or death—excluded a person from Jewish worship. Today’s feast emphasizes Jesus’ first appearance in the Temple more than Mary’s purification. The observance spread throughout the Western Church in the 5th and 6th centuries. Because the Church in the West celebrated Jesus’ birth on 25 December, the Presentation was moved to 2 February, 40 days after Christmas.

Luke writes:

When the time came for their purification according to the law of Moses, they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord (as it is written in the law of the Lord, ‘Every firstborn male shall be designated as holy to the Lord’), and they offered a sacrifice according to what is stated in the law of the Lord, ‘a pair of turtle-doves or two young pigeons.’

Now there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon; this man was righteous and devout, looking forward to the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit rested on him. It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Messiah. Guided by the Spirit, Simeon came into the temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him what was customary under the law, Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying, ‘Master, now you are dismissing your servant* in peace, according to your word; for my eyes have seen your salvation, which you have prepared in the presence of all peoples, a light for revelation to the Gentiles and for glory to your people Israel.’

And the child’s father and mother were amazed at what was being said about him. Then Simeon blessed them and said to his mother Mary, ‘This child is destined for the falling and the rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be opposed so that the inner thoughts of many will be revealed—and a sword will pierce your own soul too.’

There was also a prophet, Anna the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was of a great age, having lived with her husband for seven years after her marriage, then as a widow to the age of eighty-four. She never left the temple but worshipped there with fasting and prayer night and day. At that moment she came, and began to praise God and to speak about the child to all who were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem.

When they had finished everything required by the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own town of Nazareth. The child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom; and the favor of God was upon him. (Lk. 2: 22-40).

Let us pray: Almighty and everliving God, we humbly pray that, as your only-begotten Son was this day presented in the temple, so we may be presented to you with pure and clean hearts by Jesus Christ our Lord; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

St. Brigit of Ireland

ST. BRIGIT'S CROSS

Today the Church remembers St. Brigit (or “Brigid”, “Bridget” or “Bride”) of Ireland. She was probably born at Faughart near Dundalk, Louth, Ireland around the year 451.

Her parents were baptized by St. Patrick, with whom she developed a close friendship. According to legend, her father was Dubhthach, an Irish chieftain of Lienster, and her mother, Brocca, was a slave at his court. Even as a young girl she evinced an interest for a religious life and took the veil in her youth from St. Macaille at Croghan and probably was professed by St. Mel of Armagh, who is believed to have conferred abbatial authority on her. She settled with seven others at the foot of Croghan Hill in about 468.

In about 470, she founded a double monastery at Cill-Dara (Kildare) and was Abbess of the convent, the first in Ireland. The foundation developed into a center of learning and spirituality, and around it grew up the cathedral city of Kildare. She founded a school of art at Kildare and its illuminated manuscripts became famous, notably the Book of Kildare, which was praised as one of the finest of all illuminated Irish manuscripts before its disappearance three centuries ago. Brigid was one of the most remarkable women of her times, and despite the numerous legendary, extravagant, and even fantastic miracles attributed to her, there is no doubt that her extraordinary spirituality, boundless charity, and compassion for those in distress were real.

She died at Kildare on February 1. The Mary of the Gael, she is buried at Downpatrick with St. Columba and St. Patrick, with whom she is the patron of Ireland.

Let us pray: Ever living God, we rejoice today in the fellowship of your blessed servant Brigid, and we give you thanks for her life of devoted service. Inspire us with life and light, and give us perseverance to serve you all our days; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, world without end. Amen.
