The Church is God’s Household
The Mystery of our Religion
*********************************************************************************************
Commentary:
15. This verse contains three very evocative expressions which sum up the letter’s
ecclesiology or theology of the Church.
“The Church of the living God”: St Paul usually uses “church of God” and (once)
“church of Christ” (Rom 16:16), thereby implying continuity with the “assemblies
of Yahweh” in the Old Testament. The Church, in other words, is the true people
of God, founded on the New Covenant, heir to the ancient promises and trustee
of the means of salvation (cf. “Lumen Gentium”, 9). It is “the church of the living
God”, that is, it receives from him supernatural life (grace) and distributes it to
all. “It pleased God to call men to share in his life and not merely singly, without
any bond between them, but he formed them into a people, in which his children
who had been scattered were gathered together” Vatican II, “Ad Gentes”, 2).
“The household of God”: in the original Greek the definite article does not appear,
thereby emphasizing the family character of the Church. St Paul frequently de-
scribed the Church as God’s family: “you are fellow citizens with the saints and
members of the household of God” (Eph 2:19). The expression “household of God”
conveys the idea of family and also the idea of the cohesion of Christians as parts
of a holy building: the children of God, convoked by the will of God, form the
Church, a home and a temple, where God dwells in a fuller way than he did in the
ancient temple of Jerusalem (cf. 1 Kings 8:12-64).
This house or household of God is made up of all the believers; they are living
stones, as it were (1 Pet 2:5); its foundations are the Apostles (1 Cor 3:11), and
Christ himself is its cornerstone (Mt 21:42); those who hold office in it are not
domineering overlords but conscientious stewards, who should rule with the
same dedication as a father does in his own household (1 Tim 3:4-5, 12).
“Pillar and bulwark of the truth”: those aspects of the building would have been
very meaningful to Christians familiar with the great pillars of the temple of Jeru-
salem (cf. 1 Kings 7:15-52) or the columns of the huge temple at Ephesus dedi-
cated to the goddess Artemis. They very graphically convey the idea of the
Church’s solidity and permanence in the role of safeguarding and transmitting
the truth, for “the deposit of revelation [...] must be religiously guarded and cou-
rageously expounded” (”Lumen Gentium”, 25).
“The truth” which the Apostle mentions here is the Revelation God has commu-
nicated to men. It is interesting to note that there are three closely connected
expressions in this chapter: deacons are exhorted to hold “the mystery of faith”
(v. 9); the Church is “the pillar and bulwark of the truth” (v. 15); and then “the
mystery of our religion” is extolled (v. 16). These are three ways of looking at
the Church’s reason-of-being—Jesus Christ. For our Lord, who is the fullness of
Revelation (cf. Heb 1:2), is the center of our faith: he alone is the supreme Truth
(cf. In 14:6); and because he is the fullest expression of God’s love for men
(making them children of God), he is “the mystery of our religion” (cf. “Recon-
ciliatio Et Paenitentia”, 19).
16. The “pietatis mysterium”, the mystery of (our) religion, as opposed to the
“mystery of lawlessness” (2:Thess 2:7) which includes the devil and his activity,
refers first and foremost to Christ and his work of redemption and reconciliation.
By describing it as the mystery of “piety”, the virtue which characterizes parent/
children relations, it includes the idea of God’s paternal love for men, for it is
through Christ that men become children of God.
“It is profoundly significant”, John Paul II comments, “that when Paul presents
this “mysterium pietatis” he simply transcribes, without making a grammatical
link with what he has just written, three lines of a Christological hymn which—in
the opinion of authoritative scholars—was used in the Greek-speaking Christian
communities” (”Reconciliatio Et Paenitentia”, 20). The introduction itself (”we
confess”: by the confession of all), the rhythmic style, the fact that no articles
are used in the original Greek, and even the vocabulary — all point to these
verses having been taken from an early liturgical hymn (cf. 1 Cor 14:26; Eph 5:
19). It may even have been a kind of counter to the idolatrous chants of pagan
Ephesians: they used to shout “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!” (Acts 19:
34); St Paul exclaims, “Great is the mystery of our religion.”
The order of ideas in this confession of faith is typical of the christological hymns
in the New Testament (cf. Phil 2:6-11; Col 1:15-20; Heb 1:3), and probably re-
flects the oral preaching of the Apostles which took in the existence of the Word
from all eternity, his incarnation and life on earth; his message of salvation for the
whole world; his passion, death, resurrection and ascension into heaven. Each of
the three parts of this short creed stresses the paradox of the mystery by using
phrases involving contrasts (Semiteswere very fond of this device). The first sen-
tence, professing belief in the Incarnation, uses a very early form of words—”mani-
fested in the flesh” (cf. 1 Jn 4:2; 2 In 7). Pope John Paul II comments as follows:
“he was made manifest in the reality of human flesh and was constituted by the
Holy Spirit as the Just One who offers himself for the unjust” (”Reconciliatio Et
Paenitentia”, 20).
The second phrase describes how Christ is manifested: the angels have direct
sight of him, men came to know him through preaching. Christ is manifested to
all, for just as he is seen by the angels (that part of creation nearest to God), so
is he revealed to the Gentiles (whom the Jews regarded as most distanced from
God): “he appeared to the angels, having been made greater than them, and he
was preached to the nations, as the bearer of salvation” (”ibid.”).
The last words profess faith in the glorification of Christ at the extremes of crea-
tion—earth and heaven. On earth he is glorified because faith in him implies recog-
nizing him as God; and he is glorified in heaven because the Ascension (which in
Pauline teaching marks the definitive victory of Christ—cf. Phil 2:19-2 and note) is
the definitive glorious revelation of his Person: “he was believed in, in the world,
as the one sent by the Father, and by the same Father he was assumed into
heaven as Lord” (”ibid.”).
And so the “mysterium pietatis” involves the reconciliation—union of man with
God in Christ: he takes our flesh without ceasing to be God; the nations of the
earth will recognize him, as will the angels in heaven, he dwells in the hearts of
men through faith, but his mansion is in heaven at the Father’s side.

Jesus Reproaches His Contemporaries
*********************************************************************************************
Commentary:
31-34. See the note on Matthew 11:16-19.
[The note on Matthew 11:16-19 states:
16-19. Making reference to a popular song or a child’s game of His time, Jesus
reproaches those who offer groundless excuses for not recognizing Him. From
the beginning of human history the Lord has striven to attract all men to Himself:
“What more was there to do for My vineyard, that I have not done in it?” (Isaiah
5:4), and often He has been rejected: “When I looked for it to yield grapes, why
did it yield wild grapes?” (Isaiah 5:4).
Our Lord also condemns calumny: some people do try to justify their own beha-
vior by seeing sin where there is only virtue. “When they find something which is
quite obviously good,” St. Gregory the Great says, “they pry into it to see if there
is not also some badness hidden in it” (”Moralia”, 6, 22). The Baptist’s fasting
they interpret as the work of the devil; whereas they accuse Jesus of being a
glutton. The evangelist has to report these calumnies and accusations spoken
against our Lord; otherwise, we would have no notion of the extent of the malice
of those who show such furious opposition to Him who went about doing good
(Acts 10:38). On other occasions Jesus warned His disciples that they would
be treated the same as He was (cf. John 15:20).
The works of Jesus and John the Baptist, each in their own way, lead to the ac-
complishment of God’s plan for man’s salvation: the fact that some people do not
recognize Him does not prevent God’s plan being carried into effect.]
35. The wisdom referred to here is divine Wisdom, especially Christ Himself (cf.
Wisdom 7:26; Proverbs 8:22). “Children of Wisdom” is a Hebrew way of saying
“wise men”; he is truly wise who comes to know God and love Him and be
saved by Him—in other words, a saint.
Divine wisdom is revealed in the creation and government of the universe, and,
particularly, in the salvation of mankind. Wise men “justifying” wisdom seems
to mean the wise, the saints, bear witness to Christ by living holy lives: “Let your
light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and give glory to
your Father who is in Heaven” (Matthew 5:16).

We thank you, God our Father, for those who have responded to your call to priestly ministry.
Accept this prayer we offer on their behalf: Fill your priests with the sure knowledge of your love.

Increase in them profound faith in the Sacraments they celebrate as they nourish, strengthen and heal us.
Lord Jesus Christ, grant that these, your priests, may inspire us to strive for holiness by the power of their example, as men of prayer who ponder your word and follow your will.
O Mary, Mother of Christ and our mother, guard with your maternal care these chosen ones, so dear to the Heart of your Son.
Intercede for our priests, that offering the Sacrifice of your Son, they may be conformed more each day to the image of your Son, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.

He descended into hell; on the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty; from there He shall come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
3. The Lord's Prayer: OUR Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

6. Fatima Prayer: Oh, my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, lead all souls to heaven, especially those in most need of your mercy.
Announce each mystery, then say 1 Our Father, 10 Hail Marys, 1 Glory Be and 1 Fatima prayer. Repeat the process with each mystery.
End with the Hail Holy Queen:
Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope! To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve! To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this vale of tears! Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy towards us; and after this, our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus!
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary! Pray for us, O holy Mother of God, that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

PLEASE JOIN US - Evening Prayer
Someone has said that if people really understood the full extent of the power we have available through prayer, we might be speechless.
Did you know that during WWII there was an advisor to Churchill who organized a group of people who dropped what they were doing every day at a prescribed hour for one minute to collectively pray for the safety of England, its people and peace?
There is now a group of people organizing the same thing here in America. If you would like to participate: Every evening at 9:00 PM Eastern Time (8:00 PM Central) (7:00 PM Mountain) (6:00 PM Pacific), stop whatever you are doing and spend one minute praying for the safety of the United States, our troops, our citizens, and for a return to a Godly nation. If you know anyone else who would like to participate, please pass this along. Our prayers are the most powerful asset we have. Please forward this to your praying friends.
Sea of Sorrow
Oh! on what a sea of sorrow
Was the Virgin-Mother cast,
When her eyes with tears o'erflowing
Gazed upon her Son aghast,
From the bloodstained gibbet taken,
Dying in her arms at last.
In her bitter desolation,
His sweet mouth, His bosom too,
Then His riven side beloved,
Then each hand, both wounded through,
Then His feet, with blood encrimsoned,
Her maternal tears bedew.
She, a hundred times and over,
Strains Him closely to her breast
Heart to Heart, arms arms enfolding,
Are His wounds on her impressed:
Thus, in sorrow's very kisses,
Melts her anguished soul to rest.
Oh, dear Mother! we beseech thee,
By the tears thine eyes have shed,
By the cruel death of Jesus
And His wounds' right royal red,
Make our hearts o'erflow with sorrow
From thy heart's deep fountainhead.
To the Father, Son, and Spirit,
Now we bend on equal knee:
Glory, sempiternal glory,
To the Most High Trinity;
Yea! perpetual praise and honor
Now and through all ages be.
Novena Prayer To Our Sorrowful Mother
Most Blessed and afflicted Virgin, Queen of Martyrs, who didst stand generously beneath the cross, beholding the agony of thy dying Son; by the sword of sorrow which then pierced thy soul, by the sufferings of thy sorrowful life, by the unutterable joy which now more than repays thee for them; look down with a mother's pity and tenderness, as I kneel before thee to compassionate thy sorrows, and to lay my petition with childlike confidence in thy wounded heart. I beg of thee, O my Mother, to plead continually for me with thy Son, since He can refuse thee nothing, and through the merits of His most sacred Passion and Death, together with thy own sufferings at the foot of the cross, so to touch His Sacred Heart, that I may obtain my request,
For to whom shall I fly in my wants and miseries, if not to thee, O Mother of mercy, who, having so deeply drunk the chalice of thy Son, canst most pity us poor exiles, still doomed to sigh in this vale of tears? Offer to Jesus but one drop of His Precious Blood, but one pang of His adorable Heart; remind Him that thou art our life, our sweetness, and our hope, and thou wilt obtain what I ask, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Hail Mary
Virgin Most Sorrowful, pray for us
(Seven times each)
Mary, most holy Virgin and Queen of Martyrs, accept the sincere homage of my filial affection. Into thy Heart, pierced by so many swords, do thou welcome my poor soul. Receive it as the companion of thy sorrows at the foot of the Cross, on which Jesus died for the redemption of the world. With thee, O sorrowful Virgin, I will gladly suffer all the trials, contradictions, and infirmities which it shall please Our Lord to send me. I offer them all to thee in memory of thy sorrows, so that: every thought of my mind and every beat of my heart may be an act of compassion and of love for thee. And do thou, sweet Mother, have pity on me, reconcile me to thy Divine Son, Jesus; keep me in His grace and assist me in my last agony, so that I may be able to meet thee in Heaven and sing thy glories.
Most holy Virgin and Mother, whose soul was pierced by a sword of sorrow in the Passion of thy Divine Son, and who in His glorious Resurrection wast filled with never ending joy at His triumph, obtain for us who call upon thee, so to be partakers in the adversities of Holy Church and the Sorrows of the Sovereign Pontiff, as to be found worthy to rejoice with them in the consolations for which we pray, in the charity and peace of the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

Stabat Mater Dolorosa
Stabat mater dolorosa
iuxta Crucem lacrimosa,
dum pendebat Filius.
Cuius animam gementem,
contristatam et dolentem
pertransivit gladius.
O quam tristis et afflicta
fuit illa benedicta,
mater Unigeniti!
Quae maerebat et dolebat,
pia Mater, dum videbat
nati poenas inclyti.
Quis est homo qui non fleret,
matrem Christi si videret
in tanto supplicio?
Quis non posset contristari
Christi Matrem contemplari
dolentem cum Filio?
Pro peccatis suae gentis
vidit Iesum in tormentis,
et flagellis subditum.
Vidit suum dulcem Natum
moriendo desolatum,
dum emisit spiritum.
Eia, Mater, fons amoris
me sentire vim doloris
fac, ut tecum lugeam.
Fac, ut ardeat cor meum
in amando Christum Deum
ut sibi complaceam.
Sancta Mater, istud agas,
crucifixi fige plagas
cordi meo valide.
Tui Nati vulnerati,
tam dignati pro me pati,
poenas mecum divide.
Fac me tecum pie flere,
crucifixo condolere,
donec ego vixero.
Iuxta Crucem tecum stare,
et me tibi sociare
in planctu desidero.
Virgo virginum praeclara,
mihi iam non sis amara,
fac me tecum plangere.
Fac, ut portem Christi mortem,
passionis fac consortem,
et plagas recolere.
Fac me plagis vulnerari,
fac me Cruce inebriari,
et cruore Filii.
Flammis ne urar succensus,
per te, Virgo, sim defensus
in die iudicii.
Christe, cum sit hinc exire,
da per Matrem me venire
ad palmam victoriae.
Quando corpus morietur,
fac, ut animae donetur
paradisi gloria. Amen.
Prayer To Our Lady of Sorrows, by St. Bridget
O Blessed Virgin Mary, Immaculate Mother of God, who didst endure a martyrdom of love and grief beholding the sufferings and sorrows of Jesus! Thou didst cooperate in the benefit of my redemption by thine innumerable afflictions and by offering to the Eternal Father His only begotten Son as a holocaust and victim of propitiation for my sins. I thank thee for the unspeakable love which led thee to deprive thyself of the Fruit of thy womb, Jesus, true God and true Man, to save me, a sinner. Oh, make use of the unfailing intercession of thy sorrows with the Father and the Son, that I may steadfastly amend my life and never again crucify my loving Redeemer by new sins, and that, persevering till death in His grace. I may obtain eternal life through the merits of His Cross and Passion. Amen.
Mother of love, of sorrow and of mercy, pray for us.
Saint Alphonsus Liguori's Prayer To The Mother Of Sorrows
O, my Blessed Mother, it is not one sword only with which I have pierced thy heart, but I have done so with as many as are the sins which I have committed. O, Lady, it is not to thee, who art innocent, that sufferings are due, but to me, who am guilty of so many crimes. But since thou hast been pleased to suffer so much for me, by thy merits, obtain me great sorrow for my sins, and patience under the trials of this life, which will always be light in comparison with my demerits; for I have often deserved Hell.
Amen.

Our Lady of Sorrows - Sep 15
God call us unwearyingly to conversion
How long are we going to put off obeying Christ, who calls us into his heavenly Kingdom? Arent we going to purify ourselves? Wont we resolve to forsake our customary way of life to follow the Gospel radically?
We claim to want the Kingdom of God yet without bothering to concern ourselves with the means of obtaining it.
What is more, in the conceitedness of our souls, without taking the least trouble to obey the Lords commandments, we think ourselves worthy to receive the same reward as those who have resisted sin to the death! But how could anyone sit and sleep at home at the time of sowing and then gather in sheaves by the armful at harvest? Who has ever brought in the grapes without having planted and tended the vine? Fruit is for those who have toiled; rewards and crowns for those who have conquered. Has anyone ever crowned an athlete who did not even strip to fight his opponent? And yet, not only must we win but we must also fight according to the rules, as the apostle Paul says, that is to say according to the commandments we have been given
God is good; but he is also just
: The Lord loves justice and right (Ps 32,5); that is why Of kindness and judgement I will sing (Ps 100,1)
See how wisely the Lord exercises kindness. He is not gracious without consideration, nor does he judge without mercy, for Gracious is the Lord and just (Ps 115,5). So dont underestimate God: his love for men should not become a pretext for negligence on our part.
