Fides Catholic Apostolate

From an Easter homily by St. Athanasius (Bishop):

"It was necessary for Christ to suffer: his passion was absolutely unavoidable. He said so himself when he called his companions dull and slow to believe because they failed to recognize that he had to suffer and so enter into his glory. Leaving behind him the glory that had been his with the Father before the world was made, he had gone forth to save his people. This salvation, however, could be achieved only by the suffering of the author of our life, as Paul taught when he said that the author of life himself was made perfect through suffering. Because of us he was deprived of his glory for a little while, the glory that was his as the Father’s only-begotten Son, but through the cross this glory is seen to have been restored to him in a certain way in the body that he had assumed. Explaining what water the Savior referred to when he said: He that has faith in me shall have rivers of living water flowing from within him, John says in his gospel that he was speaking of the Holy Spirit which those who believed in him were to receive, for the Spirit had not yet been given because Jesus had not yet been glorified. The glorification he meant was his death upon the cross for which the Lord prayed to the Father before undergoing his passion, asking his Father to give him the glory that he had in his presence before the world began."
V. The Lord is risen, Alleluia, Alleluia!
R. He is risen indeed, Alleluia, Alleluia!

We were at St. Lawrence Church in Tampa for the Year of Mercy Conference yesterday, Feb. 20. It was great to be there with Bryan Thatcher and the Marianist priests from Stockbridge, MA. I really enjoyed Fr. Calloway's testimony!
