The Archangels

on October 7th, 2008

The gospel reading from John 1:47–51 is not really about angels but about Jesus as the new Jacob’s Ladder.  How it got paired with the reading from Daniel or Revelation for the Feast of the Archangels is something for experts to explain.
In the New Testament, angels are seldom mentioned.  In …

Welcoming Death

on October 7th, 2008

Death is repulsive.  It is not something one wishes for.  Yet from the words of Job we encounter a sobering reality — a reality that we find in those who commit suicide:  that life can become so unbearable that death is sought after.

Why is light given to the toilers,and life …

Job 19:21-27
View in: NAB NIV KJV NJB Vulg LXX Hebrew
21Have pity on me, have pity on me, at least you my friends, because the hand of the Lord hath touched me.
22Why do you persecute me as God, and glut yourselves with my flesh?
23Who will grant me that my words may be written? Who will grant me that they may be marked down in a book?
24With an iron pen and in a plate of lead, or else be graven with an instrument in flint stone.
25For I know that my Redeemer liveth, and in the last day I shall rise out of the earth.
26And I shall be clothed again with my skin, and in my flesh I will see my God.
27Whom I myself shall see, and my eyes shall behold, and not another: this my hope is laid up in my bosom.
Psalm 27:2-9,13-14
View in: NAB NIV KJV NJB Vulg LXX Hebrew
2Whilst the wicked draw near against me, to eat my flesh. My enemies that trouble me, have themselves been weakened, and have fallen.
3If armies in camp should stand together against me, my heart shall not fear. If a battle should rise up against me, in this will I be confident.
4One thing I have asked of the Lord, this will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. That I may see the delight of the Lord, and may visit his temple.
5For he hath hidden me in his tabernacle; in the day of evils, he hath protected me in the secret place of his tabernacle.
6He hath exalted me upon a rock: and now he hath lifted up my head above my enemies. I have gone round, and have offered up in his tabernacle a sacrifice of jubilation: I will sing, and recite a psalm to the Lord.
7Hear, O Lord, my voice, with which I have cried to thee: have mercy on me and hear me.
8My heart hath said to thee: My face hath sought thee: thy face, O Lord, will I still seek.
9Turn not away thy face from me; decline not in thy wrath from thy servant. Be thou my helper, forsake me not; do not thou despise me, O God my Saviour.
13I believe to see the good things of the Lord in the land of the living.
14Expect the Lord, do manfully, and let thy heart take courage, and wait thou for the Lord.

1At that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying: Who thinkest thou is the greater in the kingdom of heaven?
2And Jesus calling unto him a little child, set him in the midst of them,
3And said: Amen I say to you, unless you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
4Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, he is the greater in the kingdom of heaven.
5And he that shall receive one such little child in my name, receiveth me.
10See that you despise not one of these little ones: for I say to you, that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.
