Full Text of ReadingsMonday of the Seventh Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 341The Saint of the day is Blessed Luke BelludiBlessed Luke Belludi's Story In 1220, Saint Anthony was preaching conversion to the inhabitants of Padua when a young nobleman, Luke Belludi, came up to him and humbly asked to receive the habit of the followers of Saint Francis. Anthony liked the talented, well-educated Luke and personally recommended him to Francis, who then received him into the Franciscan Order. Luke, then only 20, was to be Anthony's companion in his travels and in his preaching, tending to him in his last days and taking Anthony's place upon his death. He was appointed guardian of the Friars Minor in the city of Padua. In 1239, the city fell into the hands of its enemies. Nobles were put to death, the mayor and council were banished, the great university of Padua gradually closed and the church dedicated to Saint Anthony was left unfinished. Luke himself was expelled from the city but secretly returned. At night he and the new guardian would visit the tomb of Saint Anthony in the unfinished shrine to pray for his help. One night a voice came from the tomb assuring them that the city would soon be delivered from its evil tyrant. After the fulfillment of the prophetic message, Luke was elected provincial minister and furthered the completion of the great basilica in honor of Anthony, his teacher. He founded many convents of the order and had, as Anthony, the gift of miracles. Upon his death he was laid to rest in the basilica that he had helped finish and has had a continual veneration up to the present time. Reflection The epistles refer several times to a man named Luke as Paul's trusted companion on his missionary journeys. Perhaps every great preacher needs a Luke; Anthony surely did. Luke Belludi not only accompanied Anthony on his travels, he also cared for the great saint in his final illness and carried on Anthony's mission after the saint's death. Yes, every preacher needs a Luke, someone to offer support and reassurance—including those who minister to us. We don't even have to change our names!

"An Egyptian by birth, Abba Bessarion was initiated into the angelic life by Saint Anthony the Great. He later became a disciple of Saint Macarius, the founder of Scetis (19 Jan.), and then set out to lead the life of a wanderer, borne hither and thither by Providence like a bird by the wind. All his wealth lay in the Gospel, which he always had in his hand. Living in the open air, he patiently endured all weathers, untroubled by care for a dwelling or for clothing. Fortified by the strength of the faith, he thus remained untouched by all the passions of the flesh.   "On coming to a monastery where the brethren led the common life, he would sit weeping at the gate. A brother once offered him hospitality and asked why he was distressed. 'I cannot live under a roof, until I have regained the wealth of my house,' he replied, meaning the heavenly inheritance lost since Adam. 'I am afflicted, in danger of death every day, and without rest because of my huge misfortunes, which oblige me ever to travel on in order to finish my course.'   "He wandered for forty years without ever lying down to sleep, and he spent all of forty days and forty nights standing wide awake in a thorn bush. One winter's day, he was walking through a village when he came upon a dead man. Without hesitation, he took off his own coat and covered the body. A little further on, he gave his tunic to a poor man who was shivering in the cold. An army officer, who happened to be passing, saw the naked ascetic and wanted to know who had stripped him of his clothing. 'He did!' replied Bessarion, holding up the Gospel Book. On another occasion, he met with a poor man and, having nothing to give him in alms, he hurried to the market in order to sell his Gospel Book. On his disciple's asking him where the Book was, he replied cheerfully, 'I have sold it in obedience to the words which I never cease to hear: Go, sell what you possess and give to the poor' (Matt. 19:21).   "Through this evangelic way of life he became a chosen vessel of Grace, and God wrought many miracles through him. One day, for example, he made sea water sweet through the sign of the Cross, to quench his disciple's thirst. When the latter wanted to keep some for the remainder of the journey, he prevented him, saying, 'God is here, God is everywhere!' At another time, having stood for two weeks in prayer with hands raised to heaven, he brought about rain enough to fill a thirsty brother's coat. Then there was the time when he stopped the sun from setting until he reached the cell of an elder whom he wished to meet; and the time when he walked across the waters of a river. Through these and many other wonders wrought by the Saint, God showed, as He did with Moses, Joshua and Elias, that He grants His servants mastery even over natural phenomena. Through the power of Christ, he raised a paralytic, drove out demons and showed himself truly to be a 'god' upon the earth.   "When, having reached his goal, he was at the point of regaining that dwelling in heaven which he had sought throughout his wanderings, he said to those about him, 'The monk ought, like the cherubim, to be all eye.'   "In answer to a brother who asked what a monk living in community ought to do, he replied: 'Keep silence and do not measure yourself.' Indeed, this is how even in the midst of people one can obtain the grace of the great anchorites." (Synaxarion)

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Mark 2:1-12 - When Jesus returned to Capernaum after some days, it became known that He was at home. Many gathered together so that there was no longer room for them, not even around the door, and He preached the word to them. They came bringing to Him a paralytic carried by four men. Unable to get near Jesus because of the crowd, they opened up the roof above Him. After they had broken through, they let down the mat on which the paralytic was lying. When Jesus saw their faith, He said to him, “Child, your sins are forgiven.” Now some of the scribes were sitting there asking themselves, “Why does this Man speak that way?  He is blaspheming. Who but God alone can forgive sins?” Jesus immediately knew in his mind what  they were thinking to themselves,  so He said, “Why are you thinking such things in your hearts? Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, ‘Rise, pick up your mat and walk'? But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority to forgive sins on earth” –he said to the paralytic, “I say to you, rise, pick up your mat, and go home.” He rose, picked up his mat at once,  and went away in the sight of everyone. They were all astounded and glorified God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this.” Memorial of Saint Anthony, Abbot Saint Anthony, pray for us!

Full Text of ReadingsMemorial of Saint Anthony, Abbot Lectionary: 309The Saint of the day is Saint Anthony of EgyptSaint Anthony of Egypt's Story The life of Anthony will remind many people of Saint Francis of Assisi. At 20, Anthony was so moved by the Gospel message, “Go, sell what you have, and give to [the] poor” (Mark 10:21b), that he actually did just that with his large inheritance. He is different from Francis in that most of Anthony's life was spent in solitude. He saw the world completely covered with snares, and gave the Church and the world the witness of solitary asceticism, great personal mortification and prayer. But no saint is antisocial, and Anthony drew many people to himself for spiritual healing and guidance. At 54, he responded to many requests and founded a sort of monastery of scattered cells. Again, like Francis, he had great fear of “stately buildings and well-laden tables.” At 60, he hoped to be a martyr in the renewed Roman persecution of 311, fearlessly exposing himself to danger while giving moral and material support to those in prison. At 88, he was fighting the Arian heresy, that massive trauma from which it took the Church centuries to recover. “The mule kicking over the altar” denied the divinity of Christ. Anthony is associated in art with a T-shaped cross, a pig and a book. The pig and the cross are symbols of his valiant warfare with the devil—the cross his constant means of power over evil spirits, the pig a symbol of the devil himself. The book recalls his preference for “the book of nature” over the printed word. Anthony died in solitude at age 105. Reflection In an age that smiles at the notion of devils and angels, a person known for having power over evil spirits must at least make us pause. And in a day when people speak of life as a “rat race,” one who devotes a whole life to solitude and prayer points to an essential of the Christian life in all ages. Anthony's hermit life reminds us of the absoluteness of our break with sin and the totality of our commitment to Christ. Even in God's good world, there is another world whose false values constantly tempt us.

Today is the feast of Saint Anthony of the Egyptian Desert. He felt called to follow Jesus as a hermit and leave everything that he had. How is Jesus calling you today? Don’t let anything distract you from following Jesus.

ROSARY - SORROWFUL MYSTERIES today.  DIVINE MERCY CHAPLET for Friday.

Saint Anthony, Catalonia's protector of animals, is honored with a feast day on January 17 every year. The festival is known as Els Tres Tombs, or 'the three laps' in English, and is celebrated in honor of both animals and the saint. This year marks the bicentenary of the Tres Tombs festival in Barcelona. Andreu Bernadàs, president of the Catalan Tres Tombs federation, explains how the organization aims to keep knowledge of a past world alive, one in which the ‘traginer' was an important element of society. The ‘traginer', or ‘arriero' in Spanish, was a person who transported goods between markets and towns, usually using mules. We find out how animals participate in the Tres Tombs parades held throughout Catalonia and Jordi Gispert from the Associació Defensa Drets Animal outlines the animal welfare guidelines for these events.  We also learn about the ruc català, Catalonia's unique breed of donkey. Historically valued for it's size and strength, numbers have declined drastically since the industrial revolution. We talk to members of the Adopt a Donkey movement and visit a sanctuary run by Gratitud Pallars to find out how the efforts of local people and the donations of animal lovers could save this rare animal from extinction. This week's Catalan phrase is “Venir a tomb”, meaning that something is appropriate or right in a given situation. The word “tomb” means twist or turn, and can also be used to describe a short walk, such as the three laps of the village typical of the Tres Tombs parades.

Memorial of Saint AnthonyMt 19:16-26"Again I say to you,it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needlethan for one who is rich to enter the Kingdom of God."When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and said,"Who then can be saved?"Jesus looked at them and said,"For men this is impossible,but for God all things are possible."

Jesus immediately knew in his mind what they were thinking to themselves, so he said, “Why are you thinking such things in your hearts? Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, ‘Rise, pick up your mat and walk'? But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority to forgive sins on earth”—he said to the paralytic, “I say to you, rise, pick up your mat, and go home.” He rose, picked up his mat at once, and went away in the sight of everyone. Mark tells us that so many people came to see Jesus when he returned to Capernaum, that there was not enough room for them as they crowded around the home where he was staying. As he taught them, friends of a paralyzed man brought him to Jesus but were unable to get to Jesus because of the crowd. They resorted to climbing the roof, breaking through it, and lowering the man down on a mat. "When Jesus saw their faith," Mark tells us, "he said to him, 'Child, your sins are forgiven.'” Jesus knew what the scribes were thinking and responded to them, making clear that as the Son of God, he is able to heal the sick and forgive sins. The miracle takes place before astounded witnesses who glorify God and say, “We have never seen anything like this.”

Delivered by Father Peter Tukan, SDB from Salesian Don Bosco Gerak in the Diocese of Labuan Bajo, Indonesia. Hebrews 4: 1-5.11; Rs psalm 78: 3.4bc.6c-7.8; Mark 2: 1-12 EASY TO FORGIVE WITH THE MOUTH   The theme for our meditation today is: Easy to Forgive With the Mouth. The saying goes "The tongue without bones" is meant to describe a general weakness in humans. This is a weakness in speaking. If people speak according to their measurements, then the conversation meets expectation in relationship and interpersonal communication. However, often the conversation goes beyond its limit for instance not in proper place and time, it will interfere or damage the relationship and communication between persons.   In this aspect, that saying above is true. When someone jokes among friends who understand each other, there may be no problem. But because of a lack of self-control, when the same joke is used on different persons, it will cause misunderstanding and resistance. Remarks or speeches that are out of control may present words or expressions that are not in accordance with the understanding of the people who are listening.   Lies either for evil purposes or for good intention is a reflection of the tongue without bones. Someone who always talks, nagging, overcommenting on other persons, situations and rules, can be categorized as those of the tongue without bones. Likewise, this is also shown in the persons who speak to be very convincing and revealing the truth, but in their deeds there is no evidence and concrete actions. In other words, the tongue says something but deeds show something else.   In terms of the virtue of forgiveness, this becomes something that is already a common weakness. We seem to forgive easily with our mouths. But we often become stiff and find it difficult to manifest that forgiveness in action. It is true that, in forgiveness, the first thing that comes to mind are words like: "I forgive you," or "Brother, I have forgiven you." The Lord Jesus expressed those words to the paralyzed man who was then healed, after which the man was commanded to get up, leave the place and return to his home as a new person.   Often our weakness as human beings is shown in the words spoken “I forgive you” so fluently and convincingly, but then we still remain in sin, anger and hurt. The feeling of hurt is still there, the wound is still open, and the pain is still fresh. In fact, Jesus' command to get up and walk as a new person is an experience of liberation and renewal. Supposedly, once we forgive, we forget about it and the problem solved. We become free and surely we will again begin a new phase of life in grace. Let us pray. In the name of the Father... O Lord Jesus, teach us to forgive properly and sincerely like You who always forgive us. Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit ... In the name of the Father...

"Abba Pitirim directed a group of ascetics who led a very austere life in the arid mountains of the Thebaid. He was himself a disciple and third successor of Saint Anthony the Great (17 Jan.) in his hermitage. He ate no more than a little flour mixed with water twice a week, and so persevered in spiritual labours that he gained abundant graces from the Holy Spirit. Among other things, he taught that to each passion there corresponds a demon who tries to stir up that passion within us through different temptations. In order to get rid of these demons and of evil thoughts, Abba Pitirim said that we must first free our hearts from passions." (Synaxarion)

Both in the stories that we are told from the lives of the fathers and from the particular teachings that they offer their spiritual sons, we begin to get into the nitty-gritty of the struggle with the passion of lust and fornication. Again what we are presented with is the fierceness of the battle. Part of the reason for this is that the soul has implanted in it by nature a proclivity towards certain pleasures. Saint Anthony the great tells us that it does not act, however, without the heart so desiring. Desire as we've so often discussed is essential in the spiritual life. We have a keen sense of our lack and incompleteness outside of God. In this sense, all of our desires as human beings are reflection of our great desire for God and for what He alone can satisfy.  This proclivity towards certain pleasures can begin to take hold of the soul when we are over-attentive to nourishing our bodies with food and drink. In our tendency towards excess our hearts can be taken over by the desire for fleshly pleasure.  When we find ourselves repeatedly seeking out pleasures as an end in themselves then we become vulnerable to the provocation of the demons due to their envy. They can try to stir up the fleshly desires in order to distract us from the things of God and the remembrance of God.  It is so important for us who struggle in the spiritual life to know well the difference between these sources of our proclivity toward sensuality. We cannot allow ourselves to be ignorant of their causes and the many ways that they manifest themselves. We must learn how to confront our temptations as well as to embrace the remedies that the fathers put before us. It is important for us to understand that much of the spiritual battle plays itself out on a psychological level and the means of warfare begins with the thoughts. When we lack watchfulness and allow ourselves to daydream and entertain every kind of thought and image, we find that our memory and our imagination become the holding place of so many things that come back to afflict us in the spiritual battle. Therefore, we will discover in the coming months that such a spiritual battle is only won through the grace of God and constant of prayer. The spiritual life is not about endurance but rather humility. We engage in the ascetical life because we know our poverty. We must exercise our faith to the fullest extent in order that God's grace might bear the greatest fruit possible within our hearts. ---   Text of chat during the group:   00:36:02 Kate : I recently read a quote, “The avaricious soul is one for whom God is not enough.”  It made me wonder if this could be applied to any of the passions…gluttony, lust, etc.   00:41:06 Nypaver Clan: Film cameras = analog photography   00:41:12 Una: The lust of the eyes = images   00:41:46 sharonfisher: I think so true, and ‘middle' class needs to best of these things to feel like they're keeping up.

What kind of soil are you in your spiritual journey? Join us as we reflect on this profound question through the lens of the Feast of the Holy Fathers of the Seventh Ecumenical Councils and the resilience of St. Jacob of Hamatura. Drawing from his childhood in Idaho, Father John Reimann of Saint Anthony the Great Orthodox Church, shares a story of his father's unwavering commitment to transforming rocky terrain into a lush garden. It's a tale that speaks to the heart of our spiritual lives, urging us to cultivate hearts open to divine guidance and cooperation with Christ Jesus, much like tending to a garden.Our discussion continues with the vibrant community at St. Anthony's, where various ministries—from choir to pro-life initiatives—act as spiritual nourishment for us all. These ministries invite us to engage deeply, removing obstacles and nurturing our spiritual soil to bear fruit for God's glory. As we Orthodox Christians embody living icons in the world, we strive to enrich our lives and inspire others to witness our good works for the Kingdom of God. Concluding with a blessing, Fr John invites us all to reflect, renew, and rejoice in the message of the Gospel.Thank you for listening - we pray this is an edifying experience for you.**************Find an Orthodox Church near you today.  Visit https://www.antiochian.org/home*****Please prayerfully consider supporting Cloud of Witnesses Radio:https://www.patreon.com/c/CloudofWitnessesRadio/postsFind Cloud of Witnesses Radio on Instagram, X.com, Facebook, and TikTok.Thank you for journeying w/ the Saints with us!

Today we're looking at our fourth bishop from the list of new Cardinals Pope Francis will be officially elevating on December 7th 2024. Luis Gerardo CABRERA HERRERA was born on October 11th, 1955 in Azogues, Ecuador, which is a bit southwest of the middle of the country, due west of the western terminus of the fascinatingly consistent curve of the southeast edge of the national border. I'm sure there's a story there, but it's not a story for us today. He is actually our first Ecuadorian Cardinal, so I'll take a moment to note that Catholicism in Ecuador has generally followed the mold of Catholicism in Latin America more broadly, with the Church being established with the cooperation of Spanish colonial authorities and becoming the official religion up till the very tail end of the 19th century, when in 1899 liberal reforms began that significantly impacted the relationship between the Ecuadorian state and Church. Today a strong majority of Ecuadorians still identify as Catholic, though a smaller percentage than in generations past, and it seems the numbers are continuing to decline, though we're still talking about three out of every four Ecuadorians identifying as Catholic, and I say about because I saw numbers ranging from 69% to 94%, perhaps the most impressive range yet. Anyways, Luis was drawn to the Franciscan Order early, studying at their minor seminaries first in Azogues and  then in the Ecuadorian capital of Quito. He entered their novitiate while still a teenager, then got his philosophy and theology degrees from the Pontifical Catholic University of Ecuador, followed by a licentiate and then finally a doctorate in philosophy from the Antonianum, a Franciscan university in Rome named after Saint Anthony of Padua, an early Franciscan saint best known as the guy you pray to when you can't find your keys. Luis however was not lost, knowing where he was meant to be, and he took his final vows as a Franciscan in 1982 at the age of 26. The following year, he was ordained as a priest for the order, becoming Fr Cabrera. In the 80s, Fr. Cabrera served in several roles for the order including master of novices and member of the provincial council. The years 1990 to 1994 are listed on one source as “studies in Rome”, so it was probably then when he actually got his doctorate, given the normal timing of such things. Within a few years of his return to Ecuador, Fr. Cabrera was directing not one but two institutions for the Franciscan order, first the Franciscan Studies Center of Ecuador, and then simultaneously the “Cardenal Bernardino Echeverría” Philosophical-Theological Institute, named after a Cardinal who was, notably, still alive at that point. I'm not sure whether the seminary already had the name or added it later. Anyways, I can't get sidetracked with other Cardinals– Fr Cabrera also served as a professor at that institute, specifically professor of Franciscan Theology and Spirituality, and of course, more besides. In 2003, after serving as Provincial Minister of the Franciscans in Ecuador and the Executive Secretary of the Ecumenism Commission of the Ecuadorian Episcopal Conference, he went to Rome to serve as General Councillor of the Order of Franciscan Friars Minor and Head of the Franciscan Provinces of Latin America and the Caribbean. By this point, his titles have gotten to the stage where you're probably not too surprised to hear his phone ringing. Specifically, his white phone. Ring ring, it's Pope Benedict, calling to make him Archbishop of Cuenca. That's right, straight to Archbishop for Fr Cabrera, or rather, for Archbishop Cabrera, once he received his episcopal consecration in July 2009. Cuenca probably felt like home to Cabrera, namely because it was home; he was born in the Diocese of Cuenca a couple years before it was promoted to an Archdiocese, and though he was very clearly running in Franciscan circles for his career up to this point, still, there's no place like home. Cuenca's Catholic population didn't exactly boom when he was there, and the number of priests dropped so precipitously from 2013 to 2016 I double checked to make sure the boundaries of the Archdiocese hadn't changed, but apparently none of that concerned Pope Francis enough to stop him from transferring Archbishop Cabrera to the nearby Archdiocese of Guayaquil, making him spiritual head of Ecuador's main port and largest city, and yes, Quito is not the largest city in Ecuador, though it is where most of Ecuador's Cardinals have historically served. But the fact that there has never been a Cardinal as Archbishop of Guayaquil didn't stop Pope Francis from adding Archbishop Cabrera to his list of new Cardinals last month. And yes, well-informed hypothetical pedant, Bernardino Echeverría–the one the institute was named after–was nearly an exception, but by the time of his elevation he was no longer Archbishop of Guayaquil. In any event, whether Pope Francis keeps Cardinal-Elect Cabrera in Guayaquil or moves him to Quito, or does something else entirely, remains to be seen. For now we do know for sure that Ecuador is expected to have a Cardinal-elector for the first time in over a decade, ending a fairly significant drought for a country with its profile and Catholic demographics. After he is officially elevated on December 7th, Luis Gerardo Cardinal CABRERA HERRERA will be eligible to participate in future conclaves until he turns 80 in 2035. Today's episode is part of Cardinal Numbers, and there will be another one of the new Cardinals next week. Thank you for listening, God bless you all! Thanks, Joe!

He was born in Palestine to pagan parents who sent him to Alexandria to be educated. There he learned of the Christian faith and was baptized. Hearing of the fame of St Anthony the Great, he met the great "Father of monks," and determined to devote himself to the ascetical life. For the rest of his life he traveled from place to place, engaging in the most austere life of solitude, prayer and fasting. But wherever he went, his holiness shone like a beacon, and he became known to the people, who flocked to him for counsel, nurture and healing. He would then flee to another place and begin again. His travels took him to Egypt, Libya, Sicily, and finally Cyprus, where he reposed at a great age. As he lay on his deathbed, he cried out 'Go forth, O my soul. What do you fear? Go forth! Why are you disquieted within me? You have served Jesus Christ for almost seventy years and do you fear death?' Speaking these words, he died.   The Synaxarion gives an excruciatingly thorough description of his ascetical labors, which may be instructive:   "From his sixteenth to his twentieth year, Hilarion's shelter was a simple cabin made of bulrushes and marsh grasses. Afterwards, he built a little, low cell that looked more like a tomb than a house. He lay on the hard ground, and washed and cut his hair only once a year, on Easter day. He never washed the coat of skin that Saint Anthony gave him, and wore the same tunic until it fell to pieces. He knew all of Holy Scripture by heart and recited it aloud, standing with fear, as though God were visibly present. From his twenty-first to his twenty-seventh year, a few lentils soaked in cold water was, for three years, his daily food, and for the next three he took nothing but bread, sprinkled with salt. From his twenty-seventh to his thirtieth year, he lived on wild plants; from the age of thirty to thirty-five, on six ounces of barley bread and a few vegetables, cooked without oil. Then, falling ill and with failing eyesight, he added a little oil to his food but did not increase his allowance of bread, even though he saw his body grow weaker, and believed his death was near. At an age when others tend to decrease their austerities, he kept to this diet with redoubled fervor, like a young novice, until his death. He never ate until after sunset and relinquished his fast neither for the greatest feasts nor the gravest illnesses."

Full Text of ReadingsMonday of the Twenty-ninth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 473The Saint of the day is Saint HilarionSaint Hilarion's Story Despite his best efforts to live in prayer and solitude, today's saint found it difficult to achieve his deepest desire. People were naturally drawn to Hilarion as a source of spiritual wisdom and peace. He had reached such fame by the time of his death that his body had to be secretly removed so that a shrine would not be built in his honor. Instead, he was buried in his home village. Saint Hilarion the Great, as he is sometimes called, was born in Palestine. After his conversion to Christianity, he spent some time with Saint Anthony of Egypt, another holy man drawn to solitude. Hilarion lived a life of hardship and simplicity in the desert, where he also experienced spiritual dryness that included temptations to despair. At the same time, miracles were attributed to him. As his fame grew, a small group of disciples wanted to follow Hilarion. He began a series of journeys to find a place where he could live away from the world. He finally settled on Cyprus, where he died in 371 at about age 80. Hilarion is celebrated as the founder of monasticism in Palestine. Much of his fame flows from the biography of him written by Saint Jerome. Reflection We can learn the value of solitude from Saint Hilarion. Unlike loneliness, solitude is a positive condition in which we are alone with God. In today's busy and noisy world, we could all use a little solitude. Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

What if our understanding of early Christian art has been entirely misunderstood? Join us as we uncover the profound significance of iconography in the Orthodox Church, challenging the common notion that religious imagery was a later corruption. Reflect on Fr John Reimann's  journey from a Methodist background to discovering the richness of iconography through my academic experiences at UCLA. We'll shed light on how icons, even from the catacombs of Rome, reveal a deep, historical connection to our creation in God's image and our divine calling to holiness.Explore how early Christian veneration practices are deeply rooted in Jewish traditions. Early Christians, many of them converts from Judaism, brought along the custom of venerating sacred texts, a practice that seamlessly transitioned into Christian liturgy. We dive into the placement and use of icons in early churches and the controversies they sparked, from improper practices to the veneration of tombs and requesting prayers from the departed. These traditions underscore a seamless continuity from Jewish roots to Christian worship, enriching our understanding of early Christian practices.The journey of icon veneration in the Orthodox Church is a story of resilience and theological depth. From the brutal iconoclastic controversies, where defenders of iconography faced severe punishments, to the resolution that established icons as windows to the divine prototype, we paint a vivid picture of this historical struggle. Learn about the importance of depicting Christ and saints accurately and understand the proper etiquette for venerating icons. Finally, we reflect on the spiritual realities manifested through iconography, reminding us of our sanctification and connection to the divine during liturgy. Tune in for a profound exploration of how icons elevate our worship and remind us of our eternal calling to holiness.******You can visit Fr John at Saint Anthony the Great Orthodox Church, in San Diego, CA:https://st-anthony.org/Please prayerfully consider supporting Cloud of Witnesses Radio:https://www.patreon.com/CloudofWitnessesRadioThank you for journeying w/ the Saints with us!

Oh man, it is a hot and swittie (Angi's words, not mine) Tuesday and while most of us will be sweating our asses off, the same can not be said for Angi. That's right, I'm going to need all of you to do your funeral wailing garb, get out those black armbands we were saving for when a house falls on the witch and pour one out because we lost a real (fat) one today. That's right, Angi's world famous ass is no more and we are left to mourn what used to be. Now for a little backstory, Angi is going through (has gone, is still, a little bit of both) menopause and she had a long bout of depression (working on this show does that to people, trust me.) In turn, she gained 20 pounds and she was having an issue losing it because she has had no metabolism (or self control) during menopause. To remedy this stubborn 20, Angi has done what everyone else who has money does, she became an Ozempig. She went on it in May and now at the end of July, she has lost that 20 pounds but as a side effect, she's also lost her ass. That's right, she has Ozempic ass and it has swallowed up her badunkin doughnut and turned it into a munchkin. There is still a little meat there but the bubble but is gone and now it looks like a deflated bag of those over the hill balloons. Though she knew it could have happened, the big and juicy McDouble looks like a Wendy's Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger (food analogies felt fitting for this.) Luckily, she didn't get Ozempic face because that's basically all she has left since her back now matches her front (flat, sagging, dead.) The nice thing was her experience gave us a confirmation that Ozempic works as they say where you eat 3 bites and you find yourself full. However, in turn, your body basically devours your ass because it is hungry. There is also the added bonus that Marris is basically getting to eat all of Angi's food which means he's saving money but then again, most of her meals are wine so that's a trade off. She did add though that if you love food, Ozempic is not for you as it ruins eating. Of course though, being this show, we tried to discover ways to remedy this problem. Marris actively offered to donate some of his thick and juicy ass to the long back bitch because that was the only body party she had left to be proud of. We also figured that we could pray to Saint Anthony to find her lost ass by burying a statue of him ... in the yard (where did you think that was going?) Maybe some squats, cornbread and beans and rice could return it but I think we should just move on (like we will when she dies and the show starts on a Monday with Marris and a new host.) For those who want to mourn the deflated balloon though, we will be holding a prayer vigil in Grant Park under The Bean at some point ... maybe ... probably not, you know what, we're going to be busy washing our hair so nevermind.

Part one of a series of reflections for working in the apiary and setting up for queen rearing

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - MT 6:7-15 - Jesus said to His disciples: “In praying, do not babble like the pagans, who think that they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them. Your Father knows what you need before you ask him. “This is how you are to pray: ‘Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name, Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.' “If you forgive others their transgressions, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you do not forgive others, neither will your Father forgive your transgressions.” Bishop Sheen quote of the day 2) "Pride month" vs the Hammer of Heretics https://crisismagazine.com/opinion/pride-month-vs-the-hammer-of-heretics 3) Fathers, rise to your greatness https://crisismagazine.com/opinion/fathers-rise-to-your-greatness 4) CCC 218-227: God, the Father

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Mt 5:20-26 - Jesus said to His disciples: "I tell you, unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter into the Kingdom of heaven. "You have heard that it was said to your ancestors, You shall not kill; and whoever kills will be liable to judgment. But I say to you, whoever is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment, and whoever says to his brother, Raqa, will be answerable to the Sanhedrin, and whoever says, 'You fool,' will be liable to fiery Gehenna. Therefore, if you bring your gift to the altar, and there recall that your brother has anything against you, leave your gift there at the altar, go first and be reconciled with your brother, and then come and offer your gift. Settle with your opponent quickly while on the way to court with him. Otherwise your opponent will hand you over to the judge, and the judge will hand you over to the guard, and you will be thrown into prison. Amen, I say to you, you will not be released until you have paid the last penny." Memorial of Saint Anthony of Padua, Priest and Doctor of the Church Saint Anthony, pray for us! Bishop Sheen quote of the day 2) Columnist for the Hill: Sacred Heart flag is Christian right-wing symbol used to protest Pride https://catholicvote.org/columnist-for-hill-sacred-heart-flag-used-to-protest-pride/ 3) Jesus Thirsts is the second highest grossing documentary of 2024 https://www.ncregister.com/cna/jesus-thirsts-film-becomes-second-highest-grossing-documentary-of-2024-so-far 4) CCC 817-819: What are the wounded to unity? Why is Christianity separated into more than 40,000 denominations

Gospel Matthew 5:20-26 Jesus said to his disciples: "I tell you, unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter into the Kingdom of heaven. "You have heard that it was said to your ancestors, You shall not kill; and whoever kills will be liable to judgment. But I say to you, whoever is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment, and whoever says to his brother, Raqa, will be answerable to the Sanhedrin, and whoever says, 'You fool,' will be liable to fiery Gehenna. Therefore, if you bring your gift to the altar, and there recall that your brother has anything against you, leave your gift there at the altar, go first and be reconciled with your brother, and then come and offer your gift. Settle with your opponent quickly while on the way to court with him. Otherwise your opponent will hand you over to the judge, and the judge will hand you over to the guard, and you will be thrown into prison. Amen, I say to you, you will not be released until you have paid the last penny.” Reflection The Pharisees were noted for following the letter of the law, but their hearts were not where God wanted them to be. What this passage is pointing out, is that we are called to always look deeply into who we are in relationship to those around us. Do we judge them? Do we criticize them? Do we call them stupid or foolish? It may not seem like such an important thing, but when you look at it, what it reveals is that we do what we're told, but we aren't becoming what we're called to be. We are called together to come to an altar and to invite God to enter into us, and to be a source of love and forgiveness. Closing Prayer Father, reveal to us how we treat each other. Make us more sensitive to our comments and our criticisms, so we can be aware of how easy it is to fall into a trap of a kind of righteousness about people who aren't what they're supposed to be. Make us loving, forgiving human beings. And we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen.
