I am a Lutheran of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church.

Credo

Et incarnátus est de Spíritu Sancto ex María Vírgine, et homo factus est.

Introduction - quod pro nobis traditum est

Welcome to de ecclesia et liturgia + on church and liturgy.

The sub-title - quod pro nobis traditum est (Latin - "that" or "which for us is handed over") - refers to the Eucharist. These words reflect the giving and receiving of the Catholic Tradition of the Church, or the "deposit of faith." Note here that the pro nobis is united with the traditum est and vice versa.

Enjoy!

+ Deo gratias

Today in History

Which Church Father Am I?

You’re Origen!

You do nothing by half-measures. If you’re going to read the Bible, you want to read it in the original languages. If you’re going to teach, you’re going to reach as many souls as possible, through a proliferation of lectures and books. If you’re a guy and you’re going to fight for purity … well, you’d better hide the kitchen shears.

Find out which Church Father you are at The Way of the Fathers!

Which Church Father Am I? Part 2

You’re St. Melito of Sardis!

You have a great love of history and liturgy. You’re attached to the traditions of the ancients, yet you recognize that the old world — great as it was — is passing away. You are loyal to the customs of your family, though you do not hesitate to call family members to account for their sins.

Find out which Church Father you are at The Way of the Fathers!

He is no perfect preacher, who either, from devotion to contemplation, neglects works that ought to be done, or, from urgency in business, puts aside the duties of contemplation.
- Gregory the Great (Moralia Book VI, 56; lectionarycentral.com)

"We wish to help Christians to place within their knowledge of God the many ways that are offered to them, to love the Bible without depreciating theology, and to study theology without neglecting mysticism."
- Jean Danielou, writing in the Foreward to his book, God And the Ways of Knowing

(HT: sentire cum ecclesia)

Only when we meet the living God in Christ do we know what life is.
- Pope Benedict XVI, from his homily at the Inaugural Mass of his pontificate, April 24, 2005

Ná bí beag ná mór leis an chléir.

Be neither unfriendly nor friendly with clergy.

Wisdom of a Scribe

Sapientiam scribe in tempore vacuitatis et qui minoratur actu sapientiam percipiet qua sapientia replebitur.

The wisdom of a scribe cometh by his time of leisure: and he that is less in action, shall receive wisdom.

- Sirach 38:24

Ait illis: Ideo omnis scriba doctus in regno coelórum símilis est hómini patrifamílias, qui profert de thesáuro suo novo et vétera.

He said unto them: Therefore every scribe instructed in the kingdom of heaven is like to a man that is a householder, who bringeth forth out of his treasure new things and old.

- Matthew 13:52

St. Isidore of Seville (c. 560 – 4 April 636)

Called "le dernier savant du monde ancien" ("the last scholar of the ancient world") and "the last of the ancient Christian philosophers" and "the last of the great Latin Church Fathers"
