An episode from Cornerstone Baptist Church, a conservative, independent body of King James Bible believers located in Carthage, TN. What Cornerstone Baptist Church believes:The Bible says in 1 Peter 4:11, “If any man speak, let him speak as of the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.” Our heart's desire is that God may be glorified in all things as we seek to minister to others. Cornerstone Baptist Church was started in 1991 by a group of people who wanted a church where the Bible was the final authority, not tradition or denomination. Since that time, God has blessed the effort of that initial group and the vision has been broadened and refined as the years have passed. As we have sought the leadership of the Holy Spirt and with a desire to “seek the old paths”. There are a few ministries which seem to be the “earmarks” of our church. First would be Bible preaching and teaching, in order to “perfect he saints”. We have also seen a great response to the challenge of World Missions as we continue to support more missionaries each year. One of our goals is to minister to the entire family and emphasize the importance of Bible based homes. This of course leads to a lot of training for the youth, and a particular emphasis on character. With these areas of emphasis, we also strive to exercise grace and allow the saints room and time to grow in the Lord. Christianity is not a Sunday religion It is not a performance. It is a relationship with Jesus Christ which matures with time and effort. Cornerstone Baptist Church is an independent, fundamental, mission-minded Baptist church that holds to the following: Salvation by gracethrough faith in Jesus Christ alone The King JamesBible as the preserved word of God & our final authority The virgin birth ofJesus Christ The deity of JesusChrist The pre-millennialreturn of Christ to this earth The eternalsecurity of ever true born-again believer The gospel as the death, burial & resurrection of Jesus Christ We resist the contemporary music & mega-church philosophy Our first meeting was in a tent in 1991.

The rise of Carthage is one of the most dazzling stories of the ancient world. A tale of cunning queens, glittering harbors, and empires built not just by sword and sail, but by soil.In this episode, John and Patrick trace the astonishing birth of Carthage - from Queen Elyssa's legendary ox-hide bargain to the booming agricultural empire that threatened Rome itself. Far from a mere city of merchants, Carthage was a powerhouse of farming innovation: with iron plows, vine-laced terraces, and sweet wines that made even the Romans jealous.At its heart was a rich and fertile land, one so abundant that Homer himself sang its praises. From pomegranates to elephants, from olive groves to slave-worked estates, Carthage was an empire rooted in the earth. And behind it all loomed a mysterious figure: Mago of Carthage, the so-called "father of agriculture," whose lost treatise would echo across centuries.Join John and Patrick as they unearth the agricultural engine behind Carthage's meteoric rise.

A Sermon for the Third Sunday after Easter

Living Words

Play Episode Listen Later May 11, 2025

A Sermon for the Third Sunday after Easter St. John 16:16-22 by William Klock On Easter morning we heard St. John's account of the empty tomb. How Mary Magdalene had come running to the house where he and Peter and the others were hiding. How she sobbed out that someone had taken Jesus' body. How he and Peter ran to the tomb as dawn was breaking and how they found it empty, with the linen graveclothes lying there neatly. And we heard John say that “he believed”. Somehow…inexplicably…Jesus had risen from the dead. John believed in the resurrection of the dead. They all did. It was their hope. But it wasn't supposed to happen like this. Maybe it was fear, maybe it was confusion, maybe he just wanted to be more certain, but he didn't say anything. They went back to the house where the other disciples were. They went back into hiding. Doors locked, windows shuttered, no lights, no fire. When things blew over, they could sneak out of Jerusalem, slink back to Galilee. Maybe they could go back to their old lives and everyone would forget that they'd been followers of Jesus. But then the next week we read from John's first epistle. We read those words: Everything that is fathered by God conquers the world. This is the victory that conquers the world: our faith! That doesn't sound like the same John afraid to even tell his friends that he believed Jesus had been raised from death. And last week we read from Peter's first epistle and he exhorted us to bear patiently with suffering. Peter went from hiding behind locked doors on Easter to boldly preaching the risen Jesus in the temple court just fifty days later. He would eventually find himself proclaiming that gospel in Rome itself, where he would be martyred for that holy boldness. What happened? Brothers and Sisters, hope happened. Jesus, the risen Messiah, appeared to them in that locked room. They saw him, resurrected and renewed and yet still the same Jesus with the scars of the cross in his hands and feet. They saw Jesus risen from the dead. Not a ghost, not a spirt, but Jesus bodily raised. It wasn't supposed to happen that way. It was supposed to be everybody all at once, not just one person even if he was the Messiah. But there he was, proving the old doctrine of the Pharisees and the Prophets and their fathers true—just not the way they expected. But even that's not so much what motivated them to leave their hiding places and to proclaim the risen Jesus to the world. It's what Jesus' resurrection meant. Because Jesus' resurrection was more than just an astounding miracle. Jesus' resurrection was the proof that God's new world had been born, that new creation had begun, that the promises he made through the prophets and the hopes of God's people were being fulfilled. Jesus' resurrection meant that the hopes of God's people were finally becoming reality. Jesus had kindled God's light in the midst of the darkness and they knew the darkness would never overcome it. But as they worked this out, they also realised that while Jesus had inaugurated this new creation, it would be they—Peter, John, Mary, the others, you and I—who would carry and announce God's new creation to the world. Again, this hope, made real, made manifest in the resurrection of Jesus, is what sent the disciples out, not just to announce that God had performed a miracle in raising Jesus, but to announce the God's new creation had been born and that Jesus is its king—and if that proclamation cost them everything, even if it got them killed—they knew that God would raise them and that he would vindicate them, just as he had Jesus. Nothing else changed. They were hiding in that locked and darkened house because—usually—when the authorities crucified a rebel or a revolutionary, they would also round up and crucify his followers. As it turned out, it doesn't seem that anyone was seriously interested in doing that to Jesus' disciples. But they didn't know that. The real danger came when they went out and began proclaiming the good news about Jesus—as they challenged the false gods and the pretend kings of the darkness with the light of the Lord Jesus, as they confronted this fallen world and its systems with God's new creation. That's when they were mocked, beaten, arrested, and martyred. Think of Paul. He was one of the one's breathing threats against Jesus' disciples. He was there looking on while Stephen was stoned, holding coats so people could better throw stones at him. And then as Paul was on his way to round up Christians to bring them before the Jewish authorities, he was met by the risen Jesus. And, again, it wasn't just an amazing miracle that inspired Paul to take up his own cross and to follow Jesus—to follow Jesus and to be beaten, stoned, imprisoned, and eventually murdered for the sake of the gospel. It was hope. It was what the resurrection of Jesus meant. Jesus, risen from the dead, was proof of God's faithfulness and proof that his promises of forgiveness and new life and new creation and of humanity and creation set to rights—everything the Jews (and Paul!) had hoped and longed for—it was proof that it was all true and that it was coming true in Jesus. The light has come into the darkness and the darkness has not and never will overcome it. It was proof that if we are in Jesus the Messiah, we have a share in God's new creation and that no amount of suffering and not even death can take that away. People aren't going to risk their lives to report a miracle. What drove Peter, John, Paul—and all our brothers and sisters since—what drove them to risk everything to proclaim the good news was the knowledge, the assurance, the hope that through that proclamation God's promised new creation would overcome the darkness, the sadness, the tears—that it would make all the sad things of this broken world come untrue—for them and eventually for everyone who believes. The kingdom would spread and grow until heaven and earth, God and humanity are at one again. All of this is what Jesus is getting at in our Gospel today from John 16. It's from the middle of the long teaching that Jesus gave to his disciples when they were in the Garden of Gethsemane, after they ate that last Passover meal with Jesus. Over and over Jesus exhorts them saying things like, Don't let your hearts be troubled…trust God and trust me, too. And: I chose you, and I appointed you to go and bear fruit that will last…If the world hates you, know that it hated me before it hated you. If you were from the world, the world would be fond of its own. But the world hates you because you're not from the world. No, I chose you out of the world. And at the beginning of Chapter 16 he says to them: I've said these things to you to stop you from being tripped up. They will put you out of the synagogues. In fact, the time is coming when anyone who kills you will suppose that they are in that way offering worship to God…I have told you these things so that when their time comes, you will remember that I told you about them. I expect the disciples were remembering that part of what Jesus said very well when they were hiding. “Jesus said they'd come to kill us,” they whispered in the dark. What they didn't remember—or at least what they didn't understand were the words we read today. In verse 16 Jesus says: “Not long from now, you won't see me anymore. Then again, not long after that, you will see me.” They expected—like pretty much everyone else—that the Messiah would bring some kind of revolt or revolution. He would overthrow the pagans and take the throne of Israel and, ruling over Israel, he would restore God's people to their rightful place and status in the world. So it's no wonder that when they heard this, they started murmuring amongst themselves. John goes on: “What's he talking about?” some of his disciples asked each other. “What's this business about ‘not long from now, you won't see me, and again not long after that you will see me'? And what's this about ‘going to the Father'?” Maybe Jesus was going to finally do what the Messiah was supposed to do. Maybe he was going to go gather his army and come back to battle the Romans. John writes: They kept on saying it. “What is this ‘not long'?” “What's it all about?” “We don't know what he means!” Jesus was doing that thing again where he would say cryptic things or tell a confusing story. It got their interest and then he could fill them in. Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him, John says. “You're discussing with each other what I meant, aren't you?” he said. “You want to know what I meant by saying, ‘Not long from now, you won't see me; and then again, not long after that you will see me.' That's it, isn't it? Well, I'm going to tell you the solemn truth.” I can see them all stopping the whispers and leaning forward. “Yes, Teacher. Tell us what you mean!” So Jesus goes on in the silence: “You will weep and wail, but the world will celebrate. You will be overcome with sorrow, but your sorrow will turn into joy.” I can picture the confused looks coming back to their faces. The Messiah was supposed to make everything all better. He was supposed to set everything to rights and to wipe away all the tears. The Messiah was supposed to bring an end to weeping and wailing! So Jesus gives them an illustration they could understand: “When a woman is giving birth she is in anguish, because her moment has come. But when the child is born, she no longer remembers the suffering, because of the joy that a human being has been born into the world.” And then he adds in verse 22: In the same way, you have sorrow now. But I shall see you again, and your hearts will celebrate, and nobody will take your joy from you.” Even with the childbirth illustration, it was still pretty cryptic. Even with what follows—which we'll come to in our Gospel for Rogation Sunday in two more weeks—even with that, the disciples really didn't understand—yet. It was all there in the Prophets and it was all there in the things Jesus had been teaching. The son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, and the chief priests, and the legal experts. He must be killed and raised up on the third day,” Jesus had said at one point. It doesn't get much clearer than that. And yet the events of that first Good Friday and Easter Day came as a complete surprise to them. But then when they met the risen Jesus it all started to come back to them and it started to fall into place. The wheels started turning. Mental light bulbs started turning on. The one thing left that they needed was the Holy Spirit—but I don't want to get ahead of the story. We're still in that fifty days between Easter and Pentecost. And I think those fifty days must have been some of the most exciting days in the history of the world. The disciples sat with Jesus—risen and glorified, the first bit of God's new creation real and tangible and true right there with them—and he taught them. He went back over the scriptures—no doubt saying things he'd said a hundred times before—but now, in light of the resurrection, it all started to make sense. And I can imagine their excitement growing between being there with Jesus in all his resurrected glory and as they connected the scriptural dots and as they saw how the story they had grown up with, the story they lived every year at Passover, the story that defined who they were, the story they knew so, so, so well began to unfold in a new way. They'd always known it was a great story about the mighty and saving deeds of the Lord, but over those forty days in the presence of Jesus and hearing him teach and explain the story turned into something more glorious than they ever could have imagined. The God they'd known became so much bigger and more glorious than they ever thought he could be. And then it was time for Jesus to ascend and he had to tell them, “Wait.” They were ready and eager and excited to go out into Jerusalem and Judea to start telling everyone the story—the story everyone knew, but now seen in a new and glorious light through the lens of Jesus' resurrection—and about this new hope they knew. God's new creation had finally come and they'd spent the last forty days living in his presence. But Jesus said, “Wait. Your excitement about what God has done is only part of what you need. Wait. Just a little bit—ten more days—so I can send God's Spirit. Couple this good news with the power of the Spirit and not even the gates of hell will stop you!” And, Lord knows, the gates of hell have tried, but the gates of hell had already done their worst at the cross, and Jesus rose victorious. And that's how and that's why those first disciples took up their crosses and followed Jesus. Peter was crucified at Rome, Andrew was crucified in Greece, Thomas was speared by soldiers in India, Philip was martyred at Carthage, Matthew was martyred in Ethiopia, Bartholomew in Armenia, James was stoned to death in Jerusalem, Simon was martyred in Persia, and Matthias in Syria. Only John survived, after being exiled to Patmos. You see, in the risen Jesus they saw the proof that sin and death have been decisively defeated, that the false gods and kings of the old evil age have been exposed, and most of all they saw that God's promised and long-hoped for new creation has been born. The resurrection gave them hope and that hope sent them out to proclaim the good news even though it meant following in the suffering of Jesus. And their stories have been the stories of countless Christians through the ages—of the Christians who died in the Roman persecutions, who died at the hands of the Sassanids, the Goths, the Vikings, the Caliphs, the Turks, the Kahns, the French revolutionaries, the Communists, the Islamists. It's been the stories of countless missionaries who marched into hostile territory for the sake of the gospel, knowing they very well might die for it, but also knowing that the way of the cross is the path into God's new creation. Brothers and Sisters, too often these days we've lost sight of this. Maybe it's the prosperity gospel, maybe it's that we haven't known any meaningful persecution for so long, but we Christians in the modern west seem to have forgotten this. There's no room for suffering and the way of the cross in our theology. We gloss over what look like “failures” in church history. I was listening to a sermon this past week. The preacher was telling the story of a missionary named Peter Milne. Milne was a Scottish minister and part of a group that called themselves “one-way” missionaries. When they shipped out to far off lands to proclaim the gospel, they packed their worldly goods in a coffin. It was symbolic. They were going out as missionaries with no expectation of ever returning home. They would die—one way or another—in the land they went to evangelise. Peter Milne went to the New Hebrides in the South Pacific. It was a land of head-hunting cannibals. Milne wasn't the first to go. Others had gone before and were killed by the natives. Milne was the first to go and to survive and to have a thriving gospel ministry. When he died fifty-some years later in 1924, he was buried in his coffin with the epitaph: “When he came, there was no light. When he left, there was no darkness.” When he'd arrived there wasn't a single Christian on the island. When he died, there wasn't a single person who wasn't a Christian. But here's the thing—and the preacher I was listening to completely missed it: Following Jesus means first taking up a cross. It's not about the glory of “successful” ministry. It's about dying to self, and living for the hope of God's glory and the spread of his kingdom. The preacher I listened to said nothing of the others who had gone before Milne to the New Hebrides and been martyred. They don't fit in with our prosperity and business model theology. We admire their willingness to give their lives for the sake of the gospel, but they sort of get chalked up as failures. But to do that is to miss what it means to follow Jesus, to know the pangs of childbirth, but to also experience the joy that makes the pain and the sorrow pale in comparison. As Tertullian said, the blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church, but so are all the other good-faith “failures”. There was a week when we were church-planting in Portland that I found myself all alone. Veronica's mom was sick and she and Alexandra had travelled up to Kelowna. The other family that was helping us to get things off the ground had to be away that weekend. It was just me. But The Oregonian newspaper had just run a story on us. I'd had several contacts that week. The show had to go on. We were meeting at a Lutheran Church on Sunday evenings, so I asked the pastor there if one of their organists could come and play that evening. She came and she and I sat there waiting. And 7pm came and went. And 7:05, and 7:15 and we knew no one was coming. I was discouraged and it was obvious. She and I said Evening Prayer together and then she told me her story. She and her husband, a pastor, had been Lutheran church planters in Jamaica for almost ten years. They had a very small group that had asked them to come to help them plant a church and for ten years they tried and nothing ever happened. When they finally decided to quit there were no more people than when they started. She said that she and her husband found the whole thing utterly discouraging. They had made significant sacrifices to be there and nothing had happened. It was tempting to be angry with God. They returned home thinking they were failures and wondering why. They'd been faithful in proclaiming Jesus. They'd spent hours every week in prayer with that little group of people. And then several years later they received a letter. It was from a pastor in Kingston. Not long after they'd left, he'd arrived to plant a church. His group moved into the building left behind by the Lutherans and quickly began to grow and thrive. And he wrote to thank them. “You soaked this place in prayer and you cast gospel seed all through the neighbourhood,” he wrote. He didn't know why it never grew for them, but he knew they'd been faithful and he was now reaping a harvest he hadn't planted and he wanted to thank them for their faithfulness. That elderly Lutheran organist told me that story with tears in her eyes and said, “Be faithful and don't be discouraged. Whatever happens, if you are faithful, the Lord is at work. Some of us plant, some of us water, some of us reap, but it's all the Lord's work.” She reminded me of the hope that lies before me—and that lies before all of us—and that Jesus doesn't just call us to follow him; he first calls us to take up our crosses. Just it was necessary for Jesus to give his life that he might be raised from death, so must we die to ourselves that we might live. Brothers and Sisters, fix your eyes on Jesus. He knew the joy that was set before him and so he endured the cross. He scorned its shame. And because of that the Father raised him from the dead and has seated him at his right hand. His kingdom has been born. Now the joy of the kingdom, of new creation, of God's life is before us. May it be the reason that we take up our crosses and follow our Lord. Let's pray: Gracious Father, as we come to your Table this morning, give us a taste of your great kingdom feast; let us see Jesus, risen from the dead; and make us especially aware of your indwelling Spirit that we might be filled with the joy of your salvation and the joy of your new creation. Strengthen us with joy, so that we will not fear to take up our crosses and follow Jesus. Amen.

An episode from Cornerstone Baptist Church, a conservative, independent body of King James Bible believers located in Carthage, TN. What Cornerstone Baptist Church believes:The Bible says in 1 Peter 4:11, “If any man speak, let him speak as of the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.” Our heart's desire is that God may be glorified in all things as we seek to minister to others. Cornerstone Baptist Church was started in 1991 by a group of people who wanted a church where the Bible was the final authority, not tradition or denomination. Since that time, God has blessed the effort of that initial group and the vision has been broadened and refined as the years have passed. As we have sought the leadership of the Holy Spirt and with a desire to “seek the old paths”. There are a few ministries which seem to be the “earmarks” of our church. First would be Bible preaching and teaching, in order to “perfect he saints”. We have also seen a great response to the challenge of World Missions as we continue to support more missionaries each year. One of our goals is to minister to the entire family and emphasize the importance of Bible based homes. This of course leads to a lot of training for the youth, and a particular emphasis on character. With these areas of emphasis, we also strive to exercise grace and allow the saints room and time to grow in the Lord. Christianity is not a Sunday religion It is not a performance. It is a relationship with Jesus Christ which matures with time and effort. Cornerstone Baptist Church is an independent, fundamental, mission-minded Baptist church that holds to the following: Salvation by gracethrough faith in Jesus Christ alone The King JamesBible as the preserved word of God & our final authority The virgin birth ofJesus Christ The deity of JesusChrist The pre-millennialreturn of Christ to this earth The eternalsecurity of ever true born-again believer The gospel as the death, burial & resurrection of Jesus Christ We resist the contemporary music & mega-church philosophy Our first meeting was in a tent in 1991.

Why do the fighters fight? What is the psychology that sustains the terribleand wonderful thing called a war?In nothing is this new history needed so much as in the psychology ofwar. Our history is stiff with official documents, public or private,which tell us nothing of the thing itself. At the worst we only have theofficial posters, which could not have been spontaneous preciselybecause they were official. At the best we have only the secretdiplomacy, which could not have been popular precisely because it wassecret. Upon one or other of these is based the historical judgmentabout the real reasons that sustained the struggle. Governments fightfor colonies or commercial rights; governments fight about harbours orhigh tariffs; governments fight for a gold mine or a pearl fishery. Itseems sufficient to answer that governments do not fight at all. Why dothe fighters fight? What is the psychology that sustains the terribleand wonderful thing called a war? Nobody who knows anything of soldiersbelieves the silly notion of the dons, that millions of men can be ruledby force. If they were all to slack, it would be impossible to punishall the slackers. And the least little touch of slacking would lose awhole campaign in half a day. What did men really feel about thepolicy? If it be said that they accepted the policy from the politician,what did they feel about the politician? If the vassals warred blindlyfor their prince, what did those blind men see in their prince?There is something we all know which can only be rendered, in anappropriate language, as _realpolitik_. As a matter of fact, it is analmost insanely unreal politik. It is always stubbornly and stupidlyrepeating that men fight for material ends, without reflecting for amoment that the material ends are hardly ever material to the men whofight. In any case, no man will die for practical politics, just as noman will die for pay. Nero could not hire a hundred Christians to beeaten by lions at a shilling an hour; for men will not be martyred formoney. But the vision called up by real politik, or realistic politics,is beyond example crazy and incredible. Does anybody in the worldbelieve that a soldier says, ‘My leg is nearly dropping off, but I shallgo on till it drops; for after all I shall enjoy all the advantages ofmy government obtaining a warm-water port in the Gulf of Finland.' Cananybody suppose that a clerk turned conscript says, ‘If I am gassed Ishall probably die in torments; but it is a comfort to reflect thatshould I ever decide to become a pearl-diver in the South Seas, thatcareer is now open to me and my countrymen.' Materialist history is themost madly incredible of all histories, or even of all romances.Whatever starts wars, the thing that sustains wars is something in thesoul; that is something akin to religion. It is what men feel about lifeand about death. A man near to death is dealing directly with anabsolute; it is nonsense to say he is concerned only with relative andremote complications that death in any case will end. If he is sustainedby certain loyalties, they must be loyalties as simple as death. Theyare generally two ideas, which are only two sides of one idea. The firstis the love of something said to be threatened, if it be only vaguelyknown as home; the second is dislike and defiance of some strange thingthat threatens it. The first is far more philosophical than it sounds,though we need not discuss it here. A man does not want his nationalhome destroyed or even changed, because he cannot even remember all thegood things that go with it; just as he does not want his house burntdown, because he can hardly count all the things he would miss.Therefore he fights for what sounds like a hazy abstraction, but isreally a house. But the negative side of it is quite as noble as well asquite as strong. Men fight hardest when they feel that the foe is atonce an old enemy and an eternal stranger, that his atmosphere is alienand antagonistic; as the French feel about the Prussian or the EasternChristians about the Turk. If we say it is a difference of religion,people will drift into dreary bickerings about sects and dogmas. We willpity them and say it is a difference about death and daylight; adifference that does really come like a dark shadow between our eyes andthe day. Men can think of this difference even at the point of death;for it is a difference about the meaning of life.Men are moved in these things by something far higher and holier thanpolicy: by hatred. When men hung on in the darkest days of the GreatWar, suffering either in their bodies or in their souls for those theyloved, they were long past caring about details of diplomatic objects asmotives for their refusal to surrender. Of myself and those I knew bestI can answer for the vision that made surrender impossible. It was thevision of the German Emperor's face as he rode into Paris. This is notthe sentiment which some of my idealistic friends describe as Love. I amquite content to call it hatred; the hatred of hell and all its works,and to agree that as they do not believe in hell they need not believein hatred. But in the face of this prevalent prejudice, this longintroduction has been unfortunately necessary, to ensure anunderstanding of what is meant by a religious war. There is a religiouswar when two worlds meet; that is, when two visions of the world meet;or in more modern language, when two moral atmospheres meet. What is theone man's breath is the other man's poison; and it is vain to talk ofgiving a pestilence a place in the sun. And this is what we mustunderstand, even at the expense of digression, if we would see whatreally happened in the Mediterranean; when right athwart the rising ofthe Republic on the Tiber, a thing overtopping and disdaining it, darkwith all the riddles of Asia and trailing all the tribes anddependencies of imperialism, came Carthage riding on the sea.The ancient religion of Italy was on the whole that mixture which wehave considered under the head of mythology; save that where the Greekshad a natural turn for the mythology, the Latins seem to have had a realturn for religion. Both multiplied gods, yet they sometimes seem to havemultiplied them for almost opposite reasons. It would seem sometimes asif the Greek polytheism branched and blossomed upwards like the boughsof a tree, while the Italian polytheism ramified downward like theroots. Perhaps it would be truer to say that the former branches liftedthemselves lightly, bearing flowers; while the latter hung down, beingheavy with fruit. I mean that the Latins seem to multiply gods to bringthem nearer to men, while the Greek gods rose and radiated outwards intothe morning sky. What strikes us in the Italian cults is their local andespecially their domestic character. We gain the impression ofdivinities swarming about the house like flies; of deities clusteringand clinging like bats about the pillars or building like birds underthe eaves. We have a vision of a god of roofs and a god of gateposts, ofa god of doors and even a god of drains. It has been suggested that allmythology was a sort of fairy-tale; but this was a particular sort offairy-tale which may truly be called a fireside tale, or a nursery-tale;because it was a tale of the interior of the home; like those which makechairs and tables talk like elves. The old household gods of the Italianpeasants seem to have been great, clumsy, wooden images, morefeatureless than the figure-head which Quilp battered with the poker.This religion of the home was very homely. Of course there were otherless human elements in the tangle of Italian mythology. There were Greekdeities superimposed on the Roman; there were here and there uglierthings underneath, experiments in the cruel kind of paganism, like theArician rite of the priest slaying the slayer. But these things werealways potential in paganism; they are certainly not the peculiarcharacter of Latin paganism. The peculiarity of that may be roughlycovered by saying that if mythology personified the forces of nature,this mythology personified nature as transformed by the forces of man.It was the god of the corn and not of the grass, of the cattle and notthe wild things of the forest; in short, the cult was literally aculture; as when we speak of it as agriculture.With this there was a paradox which is still for many the puzzle orriddle of the Latins. With religion running through every domesticdetail like a climbing plant, there went what seems to many the veryopposite spirit: the spirit of revolt. Imperialists and reactionariesoften invoke Rome as the very model of order and obedience; but Rome wasthe very reverse. The real history of ancient Rome is much more like thehistory of modern Paris. It might be called in modern language a citybuilt out of barricades. It is said that the gate of Janus was neverclosed because there was an eternal war without; it is almost as truethat there was an eternal revolution within. From the first Plebeianriots to the last Servile Wars, the state that imposed peace on theworld was never really at peace. The rulers were themselves rebels.There is a real relation between this religion in private and thisrevolution in public life. Stories none the less heroic for beinghackneyed remind us that the Republic was founded on a tyrannicide thatavenged an insult to a wife; that the Tribunes of the people werere-established after another which avenged an insult to a daughter. Thetruth is that only men to whom the family is sacred will ever have astandard or a status by which to criticise the state. They alone canappeal to something more holy than the gods of the city; the gods of thehearth. That is why men are mystified in seeing that the same nationsthat are thought rigid in domesticity are also thought restless inpolitics; for in

Mike Aquilina offers the compelling story of the St. Perpetua and her great friend and sister in the faith, St. Felicity. From CNA: Saints Perpetua and Felicity were martyrs who died for the faith around the year 203. St. Perpetua was a young, well-educated, noblewoman and mother living in the city of Carthage in North Africa. Her mother was a Christian and her father was a pagan. In terms of her faith, Perpetua followed the example of her mother. Despite the pleas of her father to deny her faith, Perpetua did the very opposite, and fearlessly proclaimed it. At the age of 22, she was imprisoned for her faith. While in prison she continued to care for her infant child and put up with the tortures designed to make her renounce her faith. Perpetua remained steadfast until the end. St. Perpetua was sacrificed at the games as a public spectacle for not renouncing her faith. St. Felicity was a pregnant slave girl who was imprisoned with St. Perpetua. Little is known about the life of St. Felicity because, unlike Perpetua, she did not keep a diary of her life. After imprisonment and torture, Felicity was also condemned to die at the games. Only a few days before her execution, Felicity gave birth to a daughter who was secretly taken away to be cared for by some of the Faithful. The feast of these Saints is March 7 The post The Story of St. Perpetua – In Conversation with Mike Aquilina – Discerning Hearts Podcast appeared first on Discerning Hearts Catholic Podcasts.

Can it be called by any other name than what it is?' ‘No,' he replied. ‘So also I cannot call myself by any other name than what I am—a Christian.'” So writes Perpetua: young, beautiful, well-educated, a noblewoman of Carthage in North Africa, mother of an infant son and chronicler of the persecution of the Christians by Emperor Septimius Severus. Perpetua's mother was a Christian and her father a pagan. He continually pleaded with her to deny her faith. She refused and was imprisoned at 22. In her diary, Perpetua describes her period of captivity: “What a day of horror! Terrible heat, owing to the crowds! Rough treatment by the soldiers! To crown all, I was tormented with anxiety for my baby…. Such anxieties I suffered for many days, but I obtained leave for my baby to remain in the prison with me, and being relieved of my trouble and anxiety for him, I at once recovered my health, and my prison became a palace to me and I would rather have been there than anywhere else.” Despite threats of persecution and death, Perpetua, Felicity–a slavewoman and expectant mother–and three companions, Revocatus, Secundulus and Saturninus, refused to renounce their Christian faith. For their unwillingness, all were sent to the public games in the amphitheater. There Perpetua and Felicity were beheaded, and the others killed by beasts. Felicity gave birth to a daughter a few days before the games commenced. Perpetua's record of her trial and imprisonment ends the day before the games. “Of what was done in the games themselves, let him write who will.” The diary was finished by an eyewitness. Reflection Persecution for religious beliefs is not confined to Christians in ancient times. Consider Anne Frank, the Jewish girl who with her family, was forced into hiding and later died in Bergen-Belsen, one of Hitler's death camps during World War II. Anne, like Perpetua and Felicity, endured hardship and suffering and finally death because she committed herself to God. In her diary, Anne writes, “It's twice as hard for us young ones to hold our ground, and maintain our opinions, in a time when all ideals are being shattered and destroyed, when people are showing their worst side, and do not know whether to believe in truth and right and God.” Saint Perpetua is the Patron Saint of: WidowsMothers of Deceased Sons Learn more about Saints Perpetua and Felicity!
