FEAST OF MATTHIAS, APOSTLE Abstinence makes the faith grow stronger

Although self-denial is celebrated in all major religions as a virtue, the value isn’t so much in the practice as in the motivation. For Christians the virtuous motivation for abstinence of food, drink, or particular desires comes from love. We deny ourselves for God’s sake and for the sake of others. Saint Matthias, patron of alco-holics, encouraged abstinence as a way to grow closer to God. He kept his focus on his vocation to spread the gospel and let little dis-tract him from his purpose. What can you do today to keep your focus on love?

FIESTA DEL APOSTOL MATIAS

La abstinencia hace que la fe crezca mas fuerte

A pesar que la auto negación se celebre en todas las religiones como una virtud, el valor no radica mucho en la practica sino en la moti-vación. Para los Cristianos, la motivación vir-tuosa de la abstinencia a la comida, a la bebi-da o a deseos particulares, proviene del amor. Nos negamos a nosotros mismos por la volun-tad de Dios y por el bien de los demás. San Matías, patrón de los alcohólicos, motivaba la abstinencia como una forma de crecer mas cerca de Dios. El se enfocaba en su vocación de proclamar el evangelio y no permitirse ser distraído de su propósito. Qué podemos hacer hoy en día para mantenernos enfocados en el amor?

Define your terms In 2011, the Nicene Creed in English changed from the poetic-but-imprecise “one in being”—recited at Mass for more than 40 years—back to a seemingly unusual, clunky Latin word: consubstantial. We learned that consubstantial was a critical distinction hammered out at vari-ous church councils to clarify that Jesus was divinely co-eternal with God. It was a pro-nouncement specifically designed to refute the Arian heresy that denied Christ's divinity. The struggle against Arianism cost Pope John I his life in 526. Words matter. Take time to choose the right ones.

Defina sus términos En el año 2011, el Credo Niceno en Inglés cambio de la forma poética pero imprecise “uno en ser” - recitada por mas de 40 años – regresa a la aparentemente inusual, torpe palabra en Latin: consubstancial. Aprendimos que la pala-bra consubstancial era una distinction critica martillada en varios concilios de la Iglesia para clarificar que Jesus era divinamente co-eterno con Dios. Era un pronunciamiento especifica-mente diseñado para refutar la heregia Ariana que negaba la divinidad de Cristo. La batalla contra el Arianismo le costó la vida al Papa Juan I en 526. Las palabras importan. Tómese el tiempo de elegir las correctas.
