The Calendar

Leo the Great, Doctor of the Church (d. 461) ~

We commemorate St. Leo, the first pope of that name, on November 10th. He was born around 400, and lived while the western Roman Empire was collapsing. While Rome’s secular power waned, Leo successfully extended the ecclesiastical prominence of the Bishop of Rome. By the end of his episcopacy, the Pope’s authority was recognized in North Africa, Spain, and Gaul. The widespread acceptance of Leo’s authority came from the clarity of his beliefs, which many recognized as their own and had been reinforced by the way he expressed them. The inherently pastoral vocation Leo received is shown in his surviving 96 sermons and 143 letters, none of which are intricate theological treatises. His theology was not original, but he constantly reiterated that when we know what we believe, we must consider how it affects the way we act. For us, the most important letter (28) was written in 449 to Flavian, bishop of Constantinople, addressing the struggle over various interpretations of who Jesus was. Leo did not engage with the arguments, but he presented complementing characteristics of God and humanity that were intertwined, unconfused and unmixed, in Jesus. The clarity of this description enables us to recognize that the Son of Man came down from heaven and the Son of God was crucified. The letter was read at the Council of Chalcedon in 451 where it was greeted with the affirmation “Peter has spoken through Leo.” The credit he gained from such leadership helped him to fend off Attila the Hun from Italy in 452 and to restrain the Vandals once they had invaded Rome in 455. These firm actions, in turn, helped secure respect for his position. He was the first pope to be buried in St Peter’s. He was born in a new condition, for, invisible in his own nature, he became visible in ours. Beyond our grasp, he chose to come within our grasp. Existing before time began, he began to exist at a moment in time. Lord of the Universe, he hid his infinite glory and took the nature of a servant. Incapable of suffering as God, he did not refuse to be a human capable of suffering. Immortal, he chose to be subject to the laws of death. From Letter 28 to Bishop Flavian.

purpose he called you through our proclamation of the good news, so that you may obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. So then, brothers and sisters, stand firm and hold fast to the traditions that you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by our letter. Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and through grace gave us eternal comfort and good hope, comfort your hearts and strengthen them in every good work and word. (2 Thessalonians 2:1-5,13-17)

Hear what the Spirit is saying to the church.

Thanks be to God.

The Gospel The Holy Gospel is written in the tenth chapter of the Gospel according to Saint John beginning at the 22nd verse. Glory be to thee, O Lord.

At that time the festival of the Dedication took place in Jerusalem. It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the portico of Solomon. So the Jews gathered around him and said to him, ‘How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly.’ Jesus answered, ‘I have told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father’s name testify to me; but you do not believe, because you do not belong to my sheep. My sheep hear my voice. I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one will snatch them out of my hand. What my Father has given me is greater than all else, and no one can snatch it out of the Father’s hand. The Father and I are one.’ (John 10:22-30)

The Gospel of Christ. Praise be to thee, O Christ.

A Reading from the Book of Wisdom But the souls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and no torment will ever touch them. In the eyes of the foolish they seemed to have died, and their departure was thought to be a disaster, and their going from us to be their destruction; but they are at peace. For though in the sight of others they were punished, their hope is full of immortality. Having been disciplined a little, they will receive great good, because God tested them and found them worthy of himself; like gold in the furnace he tried them, and like a sacrificial burnt-offering he accepted them. In the time of their visitation they will shine forth, and will run like sparks through the stubble. They will govern nations and rule over peoples, and the Lord will reign over them for ever. Those who trust in him will understand truth, and the faithful will abide with him in love, because grace and mercy are upon his holy ones, and he watches over his elect. (Wisdom 3:1-9)

Hear what the Spirit is saying to the church. Thanks be to God.

A Reading from the Second Letter of Paul to the Thessalonians 8:15 only As to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we beg you, brothers and sisters, not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as though from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord is already here. Let no one deceive you in any way; for that day will not come unless the rebellion comes first and the lawless one is revealed, the one destined for destruction. He opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, declaring himself to be God. Do you not remember that I told you these things when I was still with you? But we must always give thanks to God for you, brothers and sisters beloved by the Lord, because God chose you as the first fruits for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and through belief in the truth. For this

On their birthdays, the children contributed money to our "little church" bank to help pay for the purchase of a chicken for a family.

On behalf of the children both here & away, I would like to thank all those who have contributed to our project. Carole Schmidt ~ Sunday School Coordinator
