Saint Athanasius, pillar of Orthodoxy and Father of the Church, was born in Alexandria in 275, to pious Christian parents. Even as a child, his piety and devotion to the Faith were so notable that Alexander, the Patriarch of the city, took Athanasius under his protection. As a student, he acquired a thorough education, but was more interested in the things of God than in secular learning, and withdrew for a time into the desert to sit at the feet of Saint Anthony (January 17), whose disciple he became and whose biography he later wrote. On returning to Alexandria, he was ordained to the diaconate and began his public labors for the Church. He wrote his treatise On the Incarnation, when he was only twenty. (It contains a phrase, still often quoted today, that express in a few words some of the depths of the Mystery of the Incarnation: God became man that man might become god.)   Just at this time Arius, a priest in Alexandria, was promoting his enticing view that the Son and Word of God is not of one essence with the Father, but a divine creation of the Father. This view, which (as Athanasius realized) strikes at the very possibility of mankind's salvation, gained wide acceptance and seemed for a time to threaten the Christian Faith itself. In 325, the Emperor Constantine the Great convoked a Council of the Church at Nicaea to settle the turmoil that the Arian teaching had spread through the Church. Athanasius attended the Council, and defended the Orthodox view so powerfully that he won the admiration of the Orthodox and the undying enmity of the Arians. From that time forth his life was founded on the defense of the true consubstantiality (homoousia) of the Son with the Father.   In 326, not long before his death, Patriarch Alexander appointed Athanasius to be his successor, and Athanasius was duly elevated to the patriarchal throne. He was active in his pastoral role, traveling throughout Egypt, visiting churches and monasteries, and working tirelessly not only to put down the Arian heresy, but to resolve various schisms and moral declines that affected his territory.   Though the Arian heresy had apparently been condemned once and for all at Nicea, Arius had many powerful allies throughout the Empire, even in the Imperial court, and Athanasius was soon subjected to many kinds of persecution, some local, some coming from the Imperial throne itself. Though he was Patriarch of Alexandria for more than forty years, a large amount of that time was spent in hiding from powerful enemies who threatened him with imprisonment or death. Twice he fled to Rome for protection by the Pope, who in the early centuries of the Church was a consistent champion of Orthodoxy against its various enemies. From his various hiding places, Athanasius issued tracts, treatises and epistles which helped to rally the faithful throughout Christendom to the Orthodox cause.   In 366, the Emperor Valens, fearing a revolt of the Egyptians on behalf of their beloved Archbishop, officially restored Athanasius to favor, and he was able to spend the last seven years of his life in peace. Of his forty-seven years as Patriarch, about seventeen were spent in hiding or exile. He reposed in peace in 373, having given his entire adult life, at great suffering, to the defense of the Faith of Christ.

Picking up once again with Hypothesis 15, we find ourselves considering the nature of detachment from the things of the world; a detachment that is rooted first and foremost in our response to the love that God has shown and given us and his only begotten son. What does our embrace of this divine love means for our lives in this world?  To take hold of this godly love what is there of the self and our attachment to the things of this world that we must be let go?  So often there are subtle ways that we will cling to natural sensibilities and loves and we view our lives through that lens alone. Yet the Incarnation and the Paschal Mystery is meant to radically reshape our view of what it is to be a human being both in relationship to God and to one another. Our dignity and destiny is caught up in what has been given to us through our baptism - a share in the divine life. It is the faith and hope that this reality evokes that must guide our lives and the decisions that we make.  Inevitably the stories that we read from the fathers of the desert jar our sensibilities, especially when they are very much tied to a worldly perspective. In many ways we must allow ourselves to experience the discomfort of having our perspective on life challenged so radically. God has turned our world upside down in revealing Himself to us. It is that revelation that must shape all we do and our understanding of life.  --- Text of chat during the group: 00:03:52 Randi Altman:

On this important episode of Percolating on Faith, Tony and Carla explore the theological reasons for Christians to be actively engaged in the work of anti-racism. Host: Carla LongGuest: Tony Chvala-Smith

A recent survey of evangelical Christians found that many hold unbiblical beliefs. Thirty percent thought Jesus was a great teacher, but not God. Forty-two percent thought God accepts worship from any religion. Forty-six percent thought the Holy Spirit is a force not a Person. Eighteen percent even thought the Spirit can tell a person to do something forbidden in the Bible. These wrong beliefs probably come from a failure to properly interpret God’s Word. One of the most significant purposes of godly learning is to become a person “who correctly handles the word of truth” (v. 15). For Christians, the center of godly learning in our everyday lives must be Scripture. The Bible is God’s revelation— inerrant, infallible, perfect. It was inspired by the Holy Spirit. As a book it’s in a category all by itself and must be studied in an attitude of submission and obedience. This is the reverse of how we normally read: Typically, we judge books (see any Amazon review!), but with Scripture the Book judges the reader (Heb. 4:12). In context, Paul was warning against a gnostic heresy that devalued material reality (v. 14). In the Incarnation, the Word was made flesh (John 1:14). The gnostics wanted to change things to be compatible with human wisdom. Their teaching was like a disease in the Body of Christ (vv. 16–18). The church—both then and now—can best defend itself against such false teachers by learning to handle Scripture accurately and faithfully (v. 15). Interpreting the Bible is in fact the responsibility of every Christian. One day, we want to stand before God as unashamed workers in this area. In any case, “God’s solid foundation” will stand firm to the end (v. 19; see Eph. 1:13). >> We hope Today in the Word helps you become more faithful and mature Bible interpreters. If studying the Word with us has been helpful to you, why not share this devotional with a friend or family member?

Not Angela! Born of a leading family in Foligno, Italy, she became immersed in the quest for wealth and social position. As a wife and mother, she continued this life of distraction. Around the age of 40, she recognized the emptiness of her life and sought God's help in the Sacrament of Penance. Her Franciscan confessor helped Angela to seek God's pardon for her previous life and to dedicate herself to prayer and the works of charity. Shortly after her conversion, her husband and children died. Selling most of her possessions, she entered the Secular Franciscan Order. She was alternately absorbed by meditating on the crucified Christ and by serving the poor of Foligno as a nurse and beggar for their needs. Other women joined her in a religious community. At her confessor's advice, Angela wrote her Book of Visions and Instructions. In it she recalls some of the temptations she suffered after her conversion; she also expresses her thanks to God for the Incarnation of Jesus. This book and her life earned for Angela the title “Teacher of Theologians.” She was beatified in 1693, and canonized in 2013. Reflection People who live in the United States today can understand Saint Angela's temptation to increase her sense of self-worth by accumulating money, fame or power. Striving to possess more and more, she became more and more self-centered. When she realized she was priceless because she was created and loved by God, she became very penitential and very charitable to the poor. What had seemed foolish early in her life now became very important. The path of self-emptying she followed is the path all holy men and women must follow. The liturgical feast of Saint Angela of Foligno is celebrated on January 7.

Today marks the one year anniversary of the insurrection on our nation's capital. There are those who shamefully believe that separation between church and state means the church should stay out of government business, when in actuality the law was put in place to keep the government out of church affairs. And today I am going to say what a lot of our renown church leaders won't and I am going to back it up with scripture. God the Creator of all things, the creator of man, gave man dominion there is no way man can fulfill the mandate of dominion given to us by God and be not only engaged in government, but as children of the Almighty be the rulers of government. We entered into 2022 picking up the mantle of Pursuing Purpose.  The insurrection that took place exactly one year ago in this country is an extreme example of what happens when people stray so far away from their God ordained purpose, when people exalt their agenda over the plans of God.

The third episode of the series the Joy of the Incarnation explores the purpose of restoration through the incarnation. What does it mean to be partakers of His divine nature and how can we attain these holy attributes? How can we be reintroduced to holiness through the incarnation? Join us as we discuss the true meaning of modelling "Agios" in our lives and being in union with Christ.

In this first of 10 episodes in our “Practical Christianity” series, Josh, Tyler and they're special guest William Tanksley begin with some elementary “what's” and “why's” of the faith to lay a solid foundation for our Christian worldview in order to build on that foundation in subsequent episodes! Subtopics touched on in this episode include Faith, Hope, Love; the Incarnation of Jesus Christ, His Death, Resurrection, Ascension & Second Advent and much more!!!

PREACHER: Brian Payne | Pastor John 1:14-18 1 | The Glory of the Son of God's Incarnation (1:14-15) - Incarnation: The miraculous act of God affected by the Holy Spirit whereby the Son of God, the 2nd Person of the Trinity took into union with himself a complete human nature apart from sin. - Proverbs 16:6 - Psalm 25:10 2 | The Glory of the Son of God's Provision (1:16-17) 3 | The Glory of the Son of God's Revelation (1:18) The Tabernacle Taught: 1. The LORD rules (throne, rod) 2. The LORD reveals (the law) 3. The LORD resources (the Manna) 4. The LORD reconciles (Mercy seat) 5. The LORD resides (with his people)

Encountering Christ in the Incarnation demands a response. Fr. Will preaches on how during this Solemnity of the Epiphany we have come to adore Christ in this manger scene. How can we slow down and spend time reflecting on our own gifts we can offer to the Lord within the sacrifice of the Mass?

A sermon by Jamie Howison from  the Second Sunday in Christmastide, January 2, 2022. The readings for the evening  were Ephesians 1:3-14 and John 1:1-18, both of which are "big picture" texts on the meaning of the Incarnation. Due to awaiting a test for COVID-19, this sermon was preached from home.Subscribe to the show wherever you listen to audio and recommend this episode to your friends.

Reflection 4: The Incarnation and BirthWhen the eternal Son of God took on flesh in the womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary, human nature was changed forever. By uniting Himself with humanity, God raised our dignity to a whole new level. The Incarnation established a new unity between God and man and this is an act of the utmost Mercy on God's part. Ponder, today, the great miracle of new life. Think of the birth of a small child. And then try to imagine this little and helpless child being the Creator of the Universe and the Savior of the World. What a gift of God's Mercy!Lord, I thank You with profound gratitude for uniting Your divine soul with fallen humanity. I thank You for uniting Yourself with me, a sinner. May I always be in awe of the Mercy bestowed upon me through Your Incarnation. Jesus, I trust in You.Source of content: www.divinemercy.lifeCopyright © 2022 My Catholic Life! Inc.

Father teaches us the importance of the Incarnation,

A sermon by ruling elder Aaron Raines, assistant to the pastor at Christ Church, Bentonville, ministerial intern for Hills & Plains Presbytery, and seminary student. 

Every January 1st the Church celebrates the 8th day of Christmas, the Octave of Christmas, and the Solemnity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of God.  This celebration is embedded in the midst of our focus on the mystery of the Incarnation because it centers around our understanding of who Christ is. Joe Heschmeyer joins us to discuss what Mary's role reveals about the incarnation.

The prophets spoke. The people didn't listen. For centuries, the people had ignored the prophets. But the prophets were consistently right. And Micah was definitely right about this - a KING was coming, to be born in BETHLEHEM.

Merry Christmas and happy new year from the Thomistic Institute! This week, we are reposting some of our favorite talks related to Christmas and the Incarnation of our Lord. This talk was given at the University of Oklahoma on September 11, 2018. For information on upcoming events, please visit our website at www.thomisticinstitute.org. About the speaker: Dr. Paul Gondreau received his S.T.D. from the University of Fribourg, Switzerland in 2000. He teaches and publishes in the areas of moral theology, with an emphasis on marriage, Christology, and sacraments, with a specialization in the thought of St. Thomas Aquinas. He is also an associate editor of the journal Nova et Vetera. Dr. Gondreau's dissertation, written under Fr. Jean-Pierre Torrell, OP, was published as The Passions of Christ's Soul in the Theology of St. Thomas Aquinas (Aschendorff, 2002; reprinted University of Scranton Press, 2009). He is currently working on a monograph on a Thomistic account of the meaning and purpose of human sexuality.

A high level of expectancy fills the early pages and events of the New Testament Gospels. Herod, the Magi, Anna, Simeon, and "all of Jerusalem"—to name but a few—were all eager and expecting God to act. Thanks in part to the prophecies in Daniel and other prophets, Jerusalem was on edge before and after Jesus' birth. As we say goodbye to 2021 and welcome 2022, Christians need to be reminded that God is always "doing something," and to keep our own high level of expectancy and hope.

Mary is blessed, because Mary knows the way God works and because she knows His promises, and she knows that in her womb grows her savior.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  He was in the beginning with God.  All things came to be through him, and without him nothing came to be.  What came to be through him was life, and this life was the light of the human race; the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.  John 1:1–5On this, the seventh day of the Octave of Christmas, we are given a mystery.  The mystery of the “Word.”  It's a language that is veiled and yet revealing at the same time.  It presents Jesus to us as the “Word.”  He is the Word who takes on flesh and is eternal, from “the beginning with God.”  The passage goes on to say that the Word was God and that the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.The term “Word,” given to Jesus in this passage, is a translation of the Greek word “Logos.”  Logos means “plan,” “reason,” “logic.”  It also can be understood as the spoken word.  In this passage, it especially reveals to us that God “spoke” from eternity His perfect plan of salvation and this wisdom spoken is a Person.  The Person is the Divine Son of God.  Thus, when the Son “speaks” and when He is “spoken” by the Father, all things come to be.Perhaps that's quite confusing.  In fact, this is partly the point.  The point is that this beginning to John's Gospel reveals to us that the action of God creating all things and ultimately fulfilling His wisdom through the Incarnation, the Son becoming flesh, is a mysterious plan far beyond what we could ever comprehend or fathom.  We should see this mysterious language as a statement in and of itself.  The statement is this:  Seek to understand the mystery, but know that the mystery of Christmas and Creation is beyond you.  But seek to understand and comprehend nonetheless.Christmas should be a time of great joy and celebration.  It should be a time in which we reflect upon the nativity of Christ the Lord.  We should read the story, listen to Christmas music and not set that all aside until our Christmas season is over.  But as we do all of that, we should always keep before us the fact that Christmas is a great mystery of faith.Reflect, today, upon this language of St. John.  “In the beginning was the Word…” “The Word was God…”  “The Word became flesh…”  Let yourself know, this day, that you do not fully know this mystery and as you face this reality, allow the Eternal Word to draw you in one step deeper as we continue to celebrate the glorious Octave of Christmas Day.Lord, Jesus, Eternal Word of the Father, I thank You for coming among us and for making Your eternal dwelling present to us.  Thank You for the great mystery of Christmas.  Help me to always celebrate this season with great joy and gratitude, and also with a sense of mystery.  May I always realize that the mystery of Christmas will never be fully understood.  May this mystery draw me closer each and every day so that I may fall more deeply in love with You, my eternal God.  Jesus, I trust in You.Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2021 My Catholic Life!

Tom delves into many of the often taken for granted reality implications of the Christian teaching about the Incarnation of God the Son. He explores the riches of wisdom such biblical teaching has for a true understanding of divinity, humanity, creation and its relation to God. Chris and Glenn bring into the conversation many fascinating […]

Are the infancy narratives in the Gospels historical? Did the flight to Egypt really happen? Did King Herod really slaughter all of the children under 2 years old in Bethlehem? Cale answers these questions and also gets into the historical context of the prophecy in Isaiah that a virgin will conceive and bear a son (Is. 7:14). Here is the reflection Cale shared from Max Lucado on the Incarnation and the coming of Christ at Christmas: “Just a Moment” https://maxlucado.com/just-a-moment/

Here we are in a religiously-infused season — and in a world in which more and more of us experience ourselves to be religious nomads, misfits, even refugees. This deep reality of our life together is often simplified in analyses of the decline of traditional religious identity, of the rise of the spiritual-but-not-religious. Yet there is abundantly, alongside all of that, a rising theological and liturgical searching, a passionate calling towards service that echoes the heart of the great traditions. This is nowhere more true than around the boundaries of Christianity. And no person has given more winsome voice to it than Rachel Held Evans, who died suddenly at the age of 37 in 2019. Now her dear friend, journalist and preacher Jeff Chu, has midwifed her unfinished last book, Wholehearted Faith, into the world. He's Krista's wonderful conversation partner this hour — articulating a spacious understanding of God and grief, searching and belonging, for this changed world Rachel did not live to see, but speaks to still.Jeff Chu describes himself as a “writer, reporter, pretend farmer, co-host, preacher, teacher.” He is co-curator of the Evolving Faith conference, alongside Sarah Bessey, who founded the gathering with Rachel Held Evans. He has written for an eclectic range of publications including Fast Company, Time Magazine and Modern Farmer, and is a teacher in residence at Crosspointe Church in Cary, North Carolina. He's the author of Does Jesus Really Love Me?: A Gay Christian's Pilgrimage in Search of God in America and completed the late Rachel Held Evans' unfinished work, Wholehearted Faith.Find the transcript for this show at onbeing.org.
