And hence, all men everywhere,
whether bond or free, who believe in Christ
and recognise the Truth in His Own Words
and those of His Prophets,
know they shall be with Him in that land
and inherit everlasting and incorruptible good.

St Justin Martyr (c100-165)
Father of the Chucrh

What is that joy which no-one
can take from you, other than
your Lord Himself,
Whom no man can take from you?
… So examine your conscience, brethren –
if righteousness reigns there,
if you want, desire and wish the same thing
for everyone as for yourself,
if there is peace in you, not only with your friends
but equally with your enemies,
then know that the Kingdom of Heaven,
which is to say Christ the Lord,
abides in you.

St Caesarius of Arles (470-543)
Bishop, Father of the Church

“… Through all the pages of Holy Scripture
we are urged to learn wisdom.
In toiling toward the happy life,
nothing is more lofty,
nothing more pleasant,
nothing bolder against vices,
nothing more praiseworthy
in every place of dignity
and moreover, according to the words
of philosophers, nothing is more
essential to government,
nothing more helpful in leading a moral life,
than the beauty of wisdom,
the praise of learning
and the advantages of scholarship.

I am made all things to all men
that I may instruct many
to the profit of God’s Holy Church

Quote/s of the Day – 10 January – Thy Light is Come!

Quote/s of the Day – 10 January – Within the Octave– Isaias 60:1-6; Matthew 2:1-12 – Scripture search here: https://www.drbo.org/

This day a great Light has descended upon the earth!
Alleluia!

Arise, be enlightened, …
for thy Light is Come!

Isaias 60:1

“ The fire of the Lord is Light Eternal;
the lamps of believers are lit at this fire:
“Gird your loins and light your lamps,”
(Lk 12:35).
It is because the days of our life
are still night that a lamp is necessary.
This is the fire which,
according to the testimony
of the disciples at Emmaus,
the Lord Himself set within them:
“Were not our hearts burning within us
while He spoke to us on the way
and opened the scriptures to us?” (Lk 24:32).
He gives us evident proof of this fire’s action,
enlightening man’s inmost heart.
That is why the Lord will Come in fire (Is 66,15)
so as to devour our faults at the resurrection,
fulfil each one’s desires with His Presence
and cast His Light over their merits and mysteries.

St Ambrose (340-397)
Father and Doctor of the Church

Eternal Light, Shine into our Hearts
By St Alcuin of York (735-804)

Eternal Light, shine into our hearts,
Eternal Goodness, deliver us from evil,
Eternal Power, be our support,
Eternal Wisdom, scatter the
darkness of our ignorance,
Eternal Pity, have mercy on us
that with all our heart
and mind
and soul
and strength,
we may seek Thy Face
and be brought,
by Thine Infinite Mercy
to Thy Holy Presence;
through Jesus Christ, our Lord
Amen

Taking up the newborn Emmanuel,
Mary beheld a Light incomparably fairer
than the sun and saw a Fire,
which water cannot quench.
She received, in the covering of Flesh
Whom she had borne,
the Light, Who enlightens all things
and she was worthy,,
to carry in her arms,
the Word, Who carries the universe!

St Amadeus of Lausanne (1108-1159)
Bishop, Cistercian Monk

Almighty and merciful God,

Deliver us from the bondage of sin
that we may bring forth
worthy fruits of repentance.
Amen
