September 11, 2016—24th Sunday in Ordinary Time
“Everything I have is yours.” LUKE 15:31
Our Heavenly Father gives us everything, including the chance to share in His Eternal kingdom. Yet, like the Prod-igal Son we are often lured away by the materialism of our society. Do we really want to turn our backs on all the God offers in exchange for a material wealth that has no lasting value.
September 11 St. Cyprian (d. 258)
Cyprian is important in the development of Christian thought and practice in the third century, especially in northern Africa. Highly educated, a famous orator, he became a Christian as an adult. He distributed his goods to the poor, and amazed his fellow citizens by making a vow of chastity before his baptism. Within two years he had been ordained a priest and was chosen, against his will, as Bishop of Car-thage (near modern Tunis). Cyprian complained that the peace the Church had enjoyed had weakened the spirit of many Christians and had opened the door to converts who did not have the true spir-it of faith. When the Decian persecution began, many Christians easily abandoned the Church. It was their rein-statement that caused the great controversies of the third century, and helped the Church progress in its understand-ing of the Sacrament of Penance. Novatus, a priest who had opposed Cyprian's election, set himself up in Cyprian's absence (he had fled to a hiding place from which to direct the Church—bringing criticism on himself) and received back all apostates without impos-ing any canonical penance. Ultimately he was condemned. Cyprian held that those who had actually sacrificed to idols could receive Communion only at death… A friend of Pope Cornelius, Cyprian opposed the follow-ing pope, Stephen. He and the other African bishops would not recognize the validity of baptism conferred by heretics and schismatics. This was not the universal view of the Church, but Cyprian was not intimidated even by Ste-phen's threat of excommunication. He was exiled by the emperor and then recalled for trial. He refused to leave the city, insisting that his people should have the witness of his martyrdom. Cyprian was a mixture of kindness and courage, vigor and steadiness. He was cheerful and serious, so that people did not know whether to love or respect him more. He waxed warm during the baptismal controversy; his feelings must have concerned him, for it was at this time that he wrote his treatise on patience. St. Augustine remarks that Cypri-an atoned for his anger by his glorious martyrdom.
Comment: The controversies about Baptism and Penance in the third century remind us that the early Church had no ready-made solutions from the Holy Spirit. The leaders and members of the Church of that day had to move painfully through the best series of judgments they could make in an attempt to follow the entire teaching of Christ and not be diverted by exaggerations to right or left.
Quote: “You cannot have God for your Father if you do not have the Church for your mother.... God is one and Christ is one, and his Church is one; one is the faith, and one is the people cemented together by harmony into the strong unity of a body.... If we are the heirs of Christ, let us abide in the peace of Christ; if we are the sons of God, let us be lovers of peace” (St. Cyprian, The Unity of the Catholic Church).
“What does it mean for the Church, for us today, to be dis-ciples of Jesus, the Lamb of God? It means replacing malice with innocence, replacing power with love, replacing pride with humility, replacing status with service.” – Pope Francis
