There is a tradition that it was the young boy Ignatius whom Christ took upon his knee to explain to His followers that they must become as children to enter the Kingdom. He knew the holy Apostles personally and, with St Polycarp (February 25) was a disciple of St John the Evangelist. He succeeded Evodus as second Bishop of Antioch, the capital of Syria and at that time one of the largest cities in the world. Here, during the persecutions of Domitian, he strengthened the faithful, brought many pagans to Christ, and prayed that he himself would be granted the crown of martyrdom. His flock called him the Godbearer, a title that he did not refuse, for he said that all Christians after their Baptism are truly Bearers of Christ, clothed in the Holy Spirit.   When peace was restored to the Church for awhile, the holy Bishop devoted himself to organizing the young Church on strong foundations at a time when the last of the Apostles had only recently passed away. He established the principle that the Grace imparted to the Apostles at Pentecost was handed down to the bishops appointed by them, and so on through the generations: the Apostolic Succession.   The Emperor Trajan, passing through Syria to make war in Armenia, spent some time in Antioch and initiated a persecution of Christians. Rejoicing that the time of martyrdom had at last arrived, Ignatius presented himself before the Emperor and eloquently declared his faith in Christ.   "So you are a disciple of the one crucified under Pontius Pilate?" asked the Emperor.   "I am the disciple of Him who has nailed my sin to the Cross, and has trodden the Devil and his devices underfoot."   "Why do you call yourself the Godbearer?"   "Because I carry the living Christ within me!"   "Therefore, let the bearer of the Crucified One be taken in chains to Rome, there to be fed to the lions for the amusement of the people."   And so it was. During the long and difficult journey to Rome, cruelly mistreated by his guards, the Saint wrote a series of letters to the young churches which remain one of the treasures of the Church. In Smyrna, he was able to meet with his fellow-disciple Polycarp and entrust to him the care of the churches whose shepherd he had been. As Trajan had ordered, in Rome he was taken to the amphitheater and, as the Synaxarion says, "entered the arena as though approaching the holy altar to serve his last Liturgy in the presence of the faithful, who were crowded among pagans on the steps of the amphitheatre." In a few moments he was completely devoured by the lions, save for a few bones. These were gathered by the faithful and returned to Antioch.   In his Letter to the Romans, the holy Bishop wrote to some who wished to rescue him from his martyrdom: "I am the wheat of God, and am ground by the teeth of the wild beasts, that I may be found to be the pure bread of God."

Bart Byl on Luke 1:26–38. The archangel Gabriel appears to a teenage girl in a forgotten village with a startling announcement: you will bear the long-promised Messiah of Israel. And in her virgin womb the highly-favoured Mary, overshadowed by the Holy Spirit, knit together the humanity of our Lord. Mary was a human being like us, subject to sin and death and in need of a Saviour. But she was set apart as the holy space for the one beyond all space. She is the Burning Bush, the Holy of Holies, the Ark of the Covenant. And every generation will call her blessed, because she gave the world our Saviour. --- Tbilisi International Christian Fellowship is a Christ-centred family of believers in Tbilisi, Georgia.

Link to MusicIn this episode, we learn the Sub Tuum Praesidium, the oldest existing hymn to Mary as "Theotokos" or "God-Bearer." Although the church didn't definitively teach that Mary was the Mother of God until the council of Ephesus in 431, this hymn predates that council by at least 150 years! We fly to thy protection,O Holy Mother of God;Do not despise our petitionsin our necessities,but deliver us alwaysfrom all dangers,O Glorious and Blessed Virgin.Sub tuum praesidiumconfugimus,Sancta Dei Genitrix.Nostras deprecationes ne despiciasin necessitatibus nostris,sed a periculis cunctislibera nos semper,Virgo gloriosa et benedicta

With Christmas quickly approaching, we wanted to take time to reflect on a few quotes from a book that has made a lasting impact on my (Brian) life and ministry for the last 20 years, The God-Bearing Life: The Art of Soul Tending for Youth Ministry by Kenda Creasy Dean and Ron Foster. The quotes we discuss in this episode are listed in the paragraph below. If you get a chance to listen, we would love to hear your thoughts. "The Eastern Orthodox tradition calls Mary Theotokos, or "Godbearer," because she (quite literally) brought God into the world. In the biblical witness, God seems especially fond of calling upon unlikely suspects for such missions. Young people--impetuous, inexperienced, improbable choices by all accounts--figure prominently among God's "chosen" in both the Hebrew Scriptures and the New Testament. And while God does not ask any of us to bring Christ into the world as literally as did Mary, God calls each of us to become a Godbearer through whom God may enter the world again and again." We'd love to hear your thoughts. Visit us on Facebook and join the discussion. Merry Christmas!

On this fourth Sunday of Advent, we take a step closer to the manger, spending time with Mary, the mother of Jesus.  Our text returns us to the home of Elizabeth and Zechariah where Mary finds refuge in the early days of her pregnancy.  What did it mean for her to find safe space in the midst of that uncertain time?  How did that safe haven impact her capacity to be "Theotokos," or "God-Bearer"—the one who provided the first home and safe space for God incarnate? The post Safe Havens appeared first on Pacific Beach United Methodist Church - PB UMC - PBUMC.

Many popular Advent and Christmas traditions come to us from the German-speaking world—the Advent wreath, the Advent calendar, the Christmas tree—and the hymnody of the season is no exception. Lo How A Rose E'er Blooming, written in a monastic community in Trier in the Rhineland-Palatinate, refers to Jesus as a flower much in the same way as the book of Isaiah does (“… a shoot from the stump of Jesse” Isaiah 11:1; “For He grew up before Him like a young plant…” Isaiah 53:2). The German composer Felix Mendelssohn thought that the tune from his Festgesang, Op. 68 “would never do to sacred words.” But he was proven quite wrong when it was published with Charles Wesley's text “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing” in 1861, becoming one of the world's most beloved Christmas carols. Paul Gerhardt (1607-1676), a Lutheran pastor and poet from the seventeenth century, supplies two of this morning's hymns. All My Heart This Night Rejoices uses images such as “angel voices” and a “star from afar” to evoke the joy we feel at the coming of the Conqueror who overthrows sin, woe, death and hell. Less well known is O Savior Dear, Thy Manger Here, sung to a tune by the composer Johann Crüger whom Gerhardt met in Berlin and collaborated with numerous times. The gentle, child-like hymn is a study in contrasts: the humble manger is a paradise of glory; He who calms the winds and seas is given to us as an infant; the taint of Adam's fall is erased by Christ's saving grace. —Henry C. Haffner Key Words: Fulfill, Prophet, Virgin, Immanuel, Commanded, Name, Jesus, Birth Keystone Verse: “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel” (which means, God with us). (Matthew 1:23) Bulletin Matthew 1:22-25 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet: 23“Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel” (which means, God with us). 24When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife, 25but knew her not until she had given birth to a son. And he called His name Jesus.

The justly very famous Lutheran theologian Karl Barth made a very helpful distinction that applies to today's feast of Mary's nativity: there is a profound difference between the miracle happening by God's grace and the mystery it points to which in this instances the birth of the Son of God, Jesus, because Mary is acclaimed as the “theotokos” or the God Bearer.About the Speaker: Father Michael Kelly is a Jesuit priest and English language publisher of the respected Jesuit periodical, La Civilta Cattolica. For news in and about the Church in Asia, visit www.ucanews.com

Christmas Sunday! Mary is called, "Theotokos", "God Bearer". The epiphany of Christmas is that now the manifest presence of Christ is present within us and as we awake to salvation we grow the very presence of Christ in the world and also within us.

Last week, Wyoming Catholic College students left campus, not for Outdoor Week, but for their homes to wait out COVID-19. As they traveled, our faculty—rather than recording podcasts—did a remarkable job in retooling their courses for distance rather than in-person teaching. Online classes began Monday, March 23. As millions of Catholics worldwide look to Mary's intercession in this time of crisis, in theology class our juniors are studying the doctrine of Mary, of the Theotokos, the God-Bearer by reading St. John Henry Newman's letter to The Rev. E. B. Pusey. On this extended podcast just in time for the Feast of the Annunciation, you'll listen in on the class as Dean Kyle Washut and Dr. Jeremy Holmes discuss The Theotokos.

These were gathered by the faithful and returned to Antioch.   In his Letter to the Romans, the holy Bishop wrote to some who wished to rescue him from his martyrdom: "I am the wheat of God, and am ground by the teeth of the wild beasts, that I may be found to be the pure bread of God."

Teenage Mary was living a quiet, typical life when a visit from the angel Gabriel changed everything. In that moment, she made the choice to say yes to a wildly unknown future and become a God-bearer. What about you? Will you have the courage to say yes the next time unexpected, life-changing news is delivered to you? Will you have the strength to bring God into this world?

Wes and Ethan take an in-depth look at Galatians and discover what it means to become a God-Bearer.

Welcome to Episode 3 of Pod Help Us All. Today, the "Christmas" episode.I think you'd agree that the incarnation is a pretty sizable topic -- a topic about which volumes have been written. So you'll forgive us, of course, if we limited the show to 45 mins and tried our best to cover it, yes?Topics covered include Mary as the Theotokos -- literally "God-Bearer," a descriptor that tends to make Protestants a little weak in the knees; the Eucharist as an incarnation that takes place in every Mass; and the bigness of the Christmas message when one believes that the word ALL means just that.Three different Christian faith perspectives: Eric, who is Catholic, Dave who is Orthodox and DM who is... uh... hm. Well, whatever it is that I am nowadays.Agree or disagree, but listen with an open heart and mind and maybe you'll walk away with something you didn't have before. If nothing else, be inspired to set aside some time to consider the real meaning of what we celebrate at this time of year.Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas.Pod Help Us All.

Mary is the only one who stayed with Jesus his whole life, yet she is invisible to many people...are there other invisible ones in history and even with us now? Are there those who wonder if they are welcome to come see Jesus? Mary's Magnificat helps us reflect on such questions...

"and [Elizabeth] exclaimed with a loud cry, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb." (Luke 1:42)

Every year we rehearse the Christmas story. The baby and manger and sheep and the goats and it's meaningful every time we do. And yet, as John reminds us in the opening of his gospel, there was a beginning before the beginning. A Jesus whose story runs throughout the entire story of creation. This year as we prepare for Christmas we want to read back Before Beginning to remember the stories of Jesus before the manger.”★ Support this podcast ★
