Really! He's really worthy of study! Well...since they aren't going to teach us about him, we'll just have to spread the info about him ourselves. Thekla was a new one for me also.

that's terrible ... I too hope she's okay.
I've been so out of pocket in several ways the past couple years ... it's easy to lose track of posters you maybe have taken for granted.
Thanks for the heads-up.

Doctors of the Catholic Church
|
Saint John Damascene is the Icon and Image Doctor. He is most famous as one who defended and favored the veneration of sacred images, holy pictures, statues and icons. His writings in the Eastern Church are what the Summa of St Thomas Aquinas are to the West.
John guarded the Church's faith and traditions zealously. His dedicated life of prayer afforded him to put his literary and preaching talents at the service of God. He was a recipent of many miracles. Praying changed everything into beauty for him.
St Damascene spent all his life under Moslem rule and, like all the doctors, had an extraordinary devotion to the Mother of God. It was reported that John received a total healing from a wound inflicted on him through the intercession of St. Mary. |
