Sleep my little star,
About your fate, my little sweet,to you will I sing.
The Love of the Lord and God's Truth
You will bring faith to the world, to your people,
The Truth will live on, the shackles of sin will be shattered,
But my child, on Golgotha, my child will die. 25 Nov, 14:53
Although man and woman are one in their existent nature [una substantia], nevertheless, because the man is the head of the woman, it is taught that he is to be given precedence, being greater through the cause and rationale, not by reason of his existent nature itself. So the woman is inferior to man, for she is a part of him, for the origin of woman is man. For she is created out of him, and because of this a woman is seen to be under an obligation to her husband, to be subjected to his rule. - Ambrosiaster, Comm. I Cor., 11: 5. 125 Nov, 14:43
a man is formed in the image of God, and woman is not. But she is the image of God by virtue of the man, because God created one human being, so that just as all things come from the one God, similarly all human beings would come from the one human. The consequence would be that one visible man would bear on earth the image of the one invisible God, so that the one God would be seen to maintain the authority of the single originating principle, to the consternation of the Devil. - Ambrosiaster, Comm. I Cor., 11: 5–7. 225 Nov, 14:23
Listen to what “headship” means: For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the Church, His Body, and is Himself its Savior. As the Church is subject to Christ, so let wives also be subject in everything to their husbands.
Notice that after saying “the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the Church,” he immediately says that the Church is His Body, and He is Himself its Savior. It is the head that upholds the well being of the body. In his other epistles Paul has already laid the foundations of marital love, and has assigned to husband and wife each his proper place: to the husband one of leader and provider, and to the wife one of submission. Therefore, as the Church is subject to Christ—and the Church, remember, consists of both husbands and wives— so let wives also be subject in everything to their husbands, as to God - John Chrysostom, Hom. 20, on Ephesians 5:22-2318 Nov, 07:56
Practice what’s good, and from the God-given fruit of your labors, give generously to all in need, not wavering about whether you should give to this or that person. Give to everyone, because God wants to give to all people from his own gifts. Therefore, the recipients will give an accounting to God, explaining why and for what purpose they received. For those receiving while they are afflicted [with need] will not be judged, but those receiving hypocritically will pay a penalty. - Shepherd of Hermas, 27, 4-510 Nov, 23:56

Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. 04 Nov, 07:38
One day, the devil appeared to three monks and asked them, one by one, what they would change in the past.
He asked: If I gave you the power to change something in your past, what would you change?
The first monk, with great apostolic zeal, quickly responded: I would prevent you from causing Adam and Eve to fall into sin so that humanity would not stray from God.
The second monk, whose heart was full of mercy, replied: I would stop you from turning away from God and condemning yourself forever.
The third monk was the simplest of the three. Instead of answering the devil, he knelt down, made the sign of the cross, and prayed: Lord, deliver me from the temptation of what could have been but never was.
The devil then let out a shrill scream and, writhing in pain, disappeared. 01 Nov, 00:26
Do not drink wine unto a state of drunkenness, and do not let drunkenness become your traveling companion. From your bread, give to him who is hungry, and from your clothing, give to the naked. If you have more than you need, do almsgiving, and do not let your eye envy the almsgiving when you do it. Spread out your bread on the grave of the righteous, but do not give it to sinners 31 Oct, 05:00
He gave Himself up for her that “He might cleanse and sanctify her . . (v. 26).
So the Church was not pure. She had blemishes, she was ugly and cheap. Whatever kind of wife you marry, you will never take a bride like Christ did when He married the Church; you will never marry anyone estranged from you as the Church was from Christ. Despite all this, He did not abhor or hate her for her extraordinary corruption.
Do you want her corruption de scribed?
Paul says, “For once you were in darkness.”
Do you see how black she was?
Nothing is blacker than darkness. Think of her shamelessness; she passed her day in malice and envy, Paul says. Look at her impurity; she was foolish and disobedient. What am I saying?
She was foolish, her tongue was evil, but even though her wounds were so numerous, He sacrificed Himself for her in her corrupted state, as if she were in the bloom of youth, as if she were dearly beloved - John Chrysostom, Homily 20 on Ephesians 5:22-2325 Oct, 05:02
This is a fact; we know it, we remember it, we acknowledge it. The whole earth is reddened with the blood of martyrs; heaven is flowering with martyrs' garlands; our churches are adorned by the memorials of martyrs; our calendars are studded with martyrs' festivals; cures obtained through martyrs' merits grow ever more frequent. How could all of this have happened, had there not come to pass what was foretold and spread throughout the world about that one person: Those who persecute me and harass me are many, but I have not turned away from witnessing to you?
We recognize this, and we give thanks to the Lord our God. You, the speaker in this psalm, you yourself are the one who said in another psalm, If the Lord had not been among us, perhaps they would have swallowed us alive. There you have the reason why you did not turn aside from witnessing to him, and why, at the hands of the many who persecuted and harassed you, you attained the palm of God's heavenly call. - Agustine, Exposition 30, Psalm 118 22 Oct, 12:33
We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised.
Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace;
And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it:
Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day. 22 Oct, 12:18
The Lord has rent the kingdom of Israel from your hand today, and He will give it to a neighbour of yours who is better than you. And Israel will be divided in two, and God shall not turn back nor repent. For He is not like a man that He should repent. 19 Oct, 06:06
Serene He lies at Mary’s breast.
Who is Himself eternal Rest
O holy blest nativity,
How wondrous is this mystery!
And in her motherhood we find
A pattern tranquil, meek, and kind
Reflected in her sorr’wing eyes,
The hope of heav’nly Paradise.
To woman now is giv’n a place
Of honor, dignity and grace
She bears the Lord, so shall she be
Blest lady for eternity.
O higher than the cherubim
More glorious than the seraphim
Thou bearer of th’eternal Word
Most gracious, magnify the Lord.
All glory to the Father be
All praise, eternal Son, to Thee,
Whom with the Spirit we adore
Forever and forevermore. Amen. 18 Oct, 12:10
And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
