Audio (MP3)Mystagogia
Saturday, April 10th, 2010
In my last post I promised more on the Holy Sepulcher and the Holy Grail and their relation to an Easter catechesis and the tradition of chivalry. There is much there to reflect on, much to be researched and assimilated, so it will take at bit more time. Meanwhile, however, I thought I would point out that in the Office of Readings this week we have been reading from the the Jerusalem Catechesis, or otherwise known as the Catechetical Lectures of St. Cyril of Jerusalem (+386). The Catechesis consists in twenty-three lectures, the first eighteen of which were delivered to the candidates for baptism during Lent and the last five to the newly baptized during Easter, and is an excellent example of the mystogogia. In fact, at the end of the prologue for Lectures St. Cyril makes sure his readers understand that his instructions are only for those whose Baptism is imminent, and is to be seen neither by the other catechumens nor heathens.

Ave Maria! Fr. Angelo discusses the problem of helping the lost generation by directing them spiritually by hands-on involvement with those in need, by witnessing to the faith with acts of charity, sharing with them the road to faith and charity. He discusses these as remedies to the various social problems, drug abuse and bad spirituality that so adversely effects their spiritual development. Ave Maria! +++ |

From a Retreat on St. Therese
Thursday, February 12th, 2009AVE MARIA MEDITATIONS
TRUST IN COMPASSIONATE LOVE
 Pere Liagre, CS.Sp. writing in his book “A Retreat with St. Therese” :
I propose to take two pages from her book. The more I meditate on these two pages, the more they seem to sum up the whole of Therese’s ascetic doctrine. The first passage, seems to me to be, in plain and simple language, the very expression of St. Paul’s “Whosoever are led by the Spirit of God … ” This is what she says: “I have always longed to become a Saint…but, alas, 1 have always found that when I compare myself to them, there is the same difference that we see in nature between the mountain peak lost in the clouds, and the tiny grain of sand trodden under the feet of the passers-, by. Far from being discouraged, 1 say to myself: God, would never put unrealizable desires into our heart.” |
