Let Freedom Ring: Freedom from Syncretism
At a word from You the devil and his minions flee in terror.
You are the source of all truth. You are the source of all strength.
By the power of your Cross and Resurrection, we beseech You, O Lord
To extend Your saving arm and to send Your holy angels
To defend us as we do battle with Satan and his demonic forces.
Exorcise, we pray, that which oppresses Your Bride, The Church,
So that within ourselves, our families, our parishes, our dioceses, and our nation
We may turn fully back to You in all fidelity and trust.
Lord, we know if You will it, it will be done.
Give us the perseverance for this mission, we pray.
Amen

Third Sunday Of Lent
SAINTS FILICITY AND PERPETUA
Deuteronomy, Chapter
4, Verse 9-10
9 However, be on your guard and
be very careful not to forget the things your own eyes have seen, nor let them
slip from your heart as long as you live, but make them known to your children and to your
children’s children, 10 that
day you stood before the Lord, your God, at Horeb, when the Lord said to me:
Assemble the people for me, that I may let them hear my words, that they may
learn to FEAR me as long as they live in the land and may so teach their
children.
Moses’ use of the word fear here is not in the sense of “be
terrified,” but rather “manifest reverence or awe.” Christ’s mission of love
was to move our hearts to reverence or the pure love of awe: A love in which
the heart of the beloved longs to do good works secretly in emulation of the
God that is good to saint and sinner alike. Our church often instructs us to
increase in ourselves Faith, Hope and Charity.
Lord, teach me to be generous. Teach me to serve you
as you deserve; to give and not to count the cost…to labor and not to ask for
reward, except to know that I am doing your will. (Saint Ignatius, Prayer for
Generosity)
Lord, let me not fear death with an empty fear, but with a wise and holy fear. An empty fear does not make men any better, but a wise and holy fear urges them to improve their lives. I will prepare for death by trying today to please you more and more in my thoughts, desires, words and actions. If I live this day as You desire, I shall be ready at any moment, and death will be nothing worse than Your loving call. Amen[1]
ON KEEPING THE LORD'S DAY HOLY[2]
CHAPTER I
DIES DOMINI
From
the Sabbath to Sunday
18.
Because the Third Commandment depends upon the remembrance of God's saving
works and because Christians saw the definitive time inaugurated by Christ as a
new beginning, they made the first day after the Sabbath a festive day, for
that was the day on which the Lord rose from the dead. The Paschal Mystery of
Christ is the full revelation of the mystery of the world's origin, the climax
of the history of salvation and the anticipation of the eschatological
fulfilment of the world. What God accomplished in Creation and wrought for his
People in the Exodus has found its fullest expression in Christ's Death and
Resurrection, though its definitive fulfilment will not come until the
Parousia, when Christ returns in glory. In him, the "spiritual"
meaning of the Sabbath is fully realized, as Saint Gregory the Great declares:
"For us, the true Sabbath is the person of our Redeemer, our Lord Jesus
Christ". This is why the joy with which God, on humanity's first Sabbath,
contemplates all that was created from nothing, is now expressed in the joy
with which Christ, on Easter Sunday, appeared to his disciples, bringing the
gift of peace and the gift of the Spirit (cf. Jn 20:19-23). It was in the
Paschal Mystery that humanity, and with it the whole creation, "groaning
in birth-pangs until now" (Rom 8:22), came to know its new
"exodus" into the freedom of God's children who can cry out with
Christ, "Abba, Father!" (Rom 8:15; Gal 4:6). In the light of this
mystery, the meaning of the Old Testament precept concerning the Lord's Day is
recovered, perfected and fully revealed in the glory which shines on the face
of the Risen Christ (cf. 2 Cor 4:6). We move from the "Sabbath" to
the "first day after the Sabbath", from the seventh day to the first
day: the dies Domini becomes the dies Christi!
Third Sunday of Lent[3]
Christ again foreshadows His
victory (this time over the devil), but as we move closer to Passiontide, He
also hints at the way in which this will be done.
Third
Sunday of Lent is called Oculi, from the first word of the Introit. In
the primitive Church, it was called Scrutiny-Sunday, because it was on
this day that they began to examine the Catechumens, who were to he admitted to
Baptism on Easter night. All the Faithful were invited to assemble in the
Church, in order that they might bear testimony to the good life and morals of
the candidates. At Rome, these examinations, which where called the Scrutinies,
were made on seven different occasions, on account of the great number of
the aspirants to Baptism; but the principal Scrutiny was that held on
the Wednesday of the Fourth Week We will speak of it later on. The Roman
Sacramentary of St. Gelasius gives us the form, in which the Faithful were
convoked to these assemblies. It is as follows. “Dearly beloved Brethren: you
know that the day of Scrutiny, when our elect is to receive the holy
instruction, is at hand. We invite you, therefore, to be zealous and assemble
on N., (here, the day was mentioned,) at the hour of Sext; that so we
may be able, by the divine aid, to achieve without error, the heavenly mystery,
whereby is opened the gate of the kingdom of heaven, and the devil is excluded
with all his pomp’s.” The invitation was repeated, if needed, on each of the
following Sundays. The Scrutiny of this Sunday ended in the admission of
a certain number of candidates: their names were written down, and put on the Diptychs
of the Altar, that they might be mentioned in the Canon of the Mass. The same
also was done with the names of their Sponsors. The Station was, and still is,
in the Basilica of Saint Laurence outside the walls. The name of this,
the most celebrated of the Martyrs of Rome, would remind the Catechumens, that
the Faith they were about to profess, would require them to be ready for many
sacrifices.
·
The
holy Church gave us, as the subject of our meditation for the first Sunday of Lent, the Temptation
which our Lord Jesus Christ deigned to suffer in the Desert. Her object was to
enlighten us with regard to our own temptations and teach us how to conquer
them.
·
Today,
she wishes to complete her instruction on the power and stratagems of our
invisible enemies; and for this she reads to us a passage from the Gospel of
St. Luke. During Lent, the Christian ought to repair the past, and provide for
the future; but he can neither understand how it was he fell, nor defend
himself against a relapse, unless he have correct ideas as to the nature of the
dangers which have hitherto proved fatal, and are again threatening him.
·
Hence,
the ancient Liturgists would have us consider it as a proof of the maternal
watchfulness of the Church, that she should have again proposed such a subject
to us. As we shall find, it is the basis of all today’s instructions.
Assuredly, we should be the blindest and most unhappy of men, if, - surrounded
as we are by enemies, who unceasingly seek to destroy us, and are so superior
to us both in power and knowledge, - we were seldom or never to think of the
existence of these wicked spirits. And yet, such is really the case with
innumerable Christians now-a-days; for, truths are diminished from among the
children of men [Ps. xi. 2].
·
So
common, indeed, is this heedlessness and forgetfulness of truth, which the Holy
Scriptures put before us in almost every page, that it is no rare thing to meet
with persons who ridicule the idea of Devils being permitted to be on this earth
of ours! They call it a prejudice, a popular superstition, of the Middle-Ages!
Of course, they deny that it is a dogma of Faith. When we read the History of
the Church or the Lives of the Saints, they have their own way of explaining
whatever is there related on this subject. To hear them talk, one would suppose
that they look upon Satan as a mere abstract idea, to be taken as the
personification of evil.
·
When
they would account for the origin of their own or others’ sins, they explain
all by the evil inclination of man’s heart, and by the bad use we make
of our free-will.
·
They
never think of what we are taught by Christian doctrine; namely, that we are
also instigated to sin by a wicked being, whose power is as great as is the
hatred he bears us. And yet, they know, they believe, with a firm faith, that
Satan conversed with our First Parents, and persuaded them to commit sin, and
showed himself to them under the form of a serpent. They believe that this same
Satan dared to tempt the Incarnate Son of God, and that he carried him through
the air, and set him first upon a pinnacle of the Temple, and then upon a very
high mountain. Again, they read in the Gospel, and they believe, that one of
the Possessed, who were delivered by our Savior, was tormented by a whole
legion of devils, who, upon being driven out of the man, went, by Jesus’
permission, into a herd of swine, and the whole herd ran violently into the
sea of Genesareth, and perished in the waters. These, and many other
such like facts, are believed, by the persons of whom we speak, with all the
earnestness of faith; yet, notwithstanding, they treat as a figure of speech,
or a fiction, all they hear or read about the existence, the actions, or the
craft of these wicked spirits.
·
Are such people Christians, or have
they lost their senses? One would scarcely have expected
that this species of incredulity could have found its way into an age like
this, when sacrilegious consultations of the devil have been, we might almost
say, - fashionable. Means, which were used in the days of paganism, have been
resorted to for such consultations; and they who employed them seemed to
forget, or ignore, that they were committing what God in the Old Law, punished
with death, and which, for many centuries, was considered by all Christian
nations as a capital crime. But if there be one Season of the Year more than
another in which the Faithful ought to reflect upon what is taught us both by
faith and experience, as to the existence and workings of the wicked spirits, -
it is undoubtedly this of Lent, when it is our duty to consider what have been
the causes of our last sins, what are the spiritual dangers we have to fear for
the future, and what means we should have recourse to for preventing a relapse.
Let us, then, hearken to the Holy Gospel. Firstly, we are told, that the devil
had possessed a man, and that the effect produced by this possession
was dumbness.
·
Our
Savior casts out the devil, and, immediately, the dumb man spoke. So that, the
being possessed by the devil is not only a fact which testifies to God’s
impenetrable justice; it is one which may produce physical effects upon them
that are thus tried or punished. The casting out the devil restores the
use of speech to him that had been possessed.
·
We
say nothing about the obstinate malice of Jesus’ enemies, who would have it,
that his power over the devils, came from his being in league with the prince
of devils: - all we would now do is, to show that the wicked spirits are
sometimes permitted to have power over the body, and to refute, by this passage
from the Gospel, the rationalism of certain Christians.
·
Let
these learn, then, that the power of our spiritual enemies is an awful reality;
and let them take heed not to lay themselves open to their worst attacks, by persisting
in the disdainful haughtiness of their Reason. Ever since the
promulgation of the Gospel, the power of Satan over the human body has been
restricted by the virtue of the Cross, at least in Christian countries; but
this power resumes its sway as often as faith and the practice of Christian
piety lose their influence. And here we have the origin of all those diabolical
practices, which, under certain scientific names, are attempted first in
secret, and then are countenanced by being assisted at by well-meaning
Christians. Was it not that God and his Church intervene, such practices as
these would subvert society? Christians! Remember your baptismal vow! You have
renounced Satan: take care, then, that by a culpable ignorance you are not
dragged into apostacy. It is not a phantom that you renounced at the Font; he
is a real and formidable being, who, as our Lord tells us, was a murderer
from the beginning [St. John, viii. 44].
·
But,
if we ought to dread the power he may be permitted to have over our bodies; if
we ought to shun all intercourse with him, and take no share in practices over
which he presides, and which are the worship he would have men give him;
- we ought, also, to fear the influence he is ever striving to exercise over
our souls. See, what God’s grace has had to do in order to drive him from our
soul! During this holy season, the Church is putting within your reach those
grand means of victory, - Fasting, Prayer, and Alms deeds.
·
True
sweets of peace will soon be yours, and, once more, you will become God’s
temple, for both soul and body will have regained their purity. But be not
deceived; your enemy is not slain. He is irritated; penance has driven him from
you; but he has sworn to return. Therefore, fear a relapse into mortal
sin; and in order to nourish within you this wholesome fear, meditate upon the
concluding part of our Gospel. Our Savior tells it, that when the unclean
spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through places without water. There
he writhes under his humiliation; it has added to the tortures of the hell he
carries everywhere with him and to which he fain would give some alleviation,
by destroying souls that have been redeemed by Christ.
·
We
read in the Old Testament that, sometimes, when the devils have been conquered,
they have been forced to flee into some far-off wilderness: for example. The
holy Archangel Raphael took the devil that had killed Sara’s husbands, and
bound him in the desert of Upper Egypt [Tob. viii. 3]. But the enemy of
mankind never despairs of regaining his prey. His hatred is as active now, as
it was at the very beginning of the world, and he says: I will return into
my house, whence I came out.
·
Nor
will he come alone. He is determined to conquer; and therefore, he will, if he thinks
it needed, take with him seven other spirits, even more wicked than
himself. What a terrible assault is this that is being prepared for the
poor soul, unless she be on the watch, and unless the peace, which God has
granted her, be one that is well armed for war! Alas! with many souls the very
contrary is the case, and our Savior describes the situation in which the
devils finds them on his return: they are swept and garnished, and that
is all! No precautions, no defense, no arms. One would suppose that they were
waiting to give the enemy admission.
·
Then
Satan, to make his re-possession sure, comes with a seven-fold force. The
attack is made; - but there is no resistance, and straightway the wicked
spirits entering in, dwell there; so that, the last state becometh
worse than the first; for before, there was but one enemy, - and now
there are many. In order that we may understand the full force of the
warning conveyed to us by the Church in this Gospel, we must keep before us the
great reality, that this is the acceptable time. In every part of the
world, there are conversions being wrought; millions are being
reconciled with God; divine Mercy is lavish of pardon to all that seek it. But
will all persevere? They that are now being delivered from the power of Satan,
- will they all be free from his yoke, when next year’s Lent comes round?
·
A
sad experience tells the Church, that she may not hope so grand a result. Many
will return to their sins, and that too before many weeks are over. And if the
Justice of God overtake them in that state - what an awful thing it is to say
it, yet it is true, - some, perhaps many, of these sinners will be eternally
lost! Let us, then, be on our guard against a relapse; and in order that we may
ensure our Perseverance, without which it would have been too little purpose to
have been for a few days in God’s grace, - let us watch, and pray; let us keep
ourselves under arms; let us ever remember that our whole life is to be a
warfare. Our soldier-like attitude will disconcert the enemy, and he will try
to gain victory elsewhere.
Prayer.
We beseech Thee, Almighty God, regard the prayers of Thy humble servants, and
stretch forth in our defense the right hand of Thy majesty.
EPISTLE.
Ephesians v. 1-9.
Brethren: Be ye therefore followers
of God, as most dear children. And walk-in love as Christ also hath loved us, and
hath delivered Himself for us, an oblation and a sacrifice to God for an odor
of sweetness. But fornication and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not
so much as be named among you, as becometh saints: or obscenity, or foolish
talking, or scurrility, which is to no purpose: but rather giving of thanks.
For know ye this and understand that no fornicator, nor unclean, nor covetous
person (which is a serving of idols), hath inheritance in the kingdom of Christ
and of God. Let no man deceive you with vain words. For because of these things
cometh the anger of God upon the children of unbelief. Be ye not therefore
partakers with them. For you were heretofore darkness, but now light in the
Lord. Walk ye as children of the light: for the fruit of the light is in all
goodness, and justice, and truth.
Explanation. St.
Paul here declares it to be the duty of every Christian, not only to walk in
love, but also to abstain from fornication, impurity, and equivocal and
immodest talk. No one, therefore, who is addicted to these vices can have any
inheritance in the kingdom of Christ.
Aspiration.
O Lord, free my heart from all inordinate desires for temporal goods and
sensual pleasures. May a childlike fear of Thee guard my tongue, that I may not
speak foolish or sinful words.
GOSPEL.
Luke xi. 14-28.
At
that time Jesus was casting out a devil, and the same was dumb; and when He had
cast out the devil, the dumb spoke: and the multitudes were in admiration at
it: but some of them said: He casteth out devils, by Beelzebub, the prince of
devils. And others tempting, asked of Him a sign from heaven. But He seeing
their thoughts said to them: Every kingdom divided against itself shall be
brought to desolation, and house upon house shall fall. And if Satan also be
divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because you say, that
through Beelzebub I cast out devils. Now if I cast out devils by Beelzebub, by
whom do your children cast them out?
Therefore,
they shall be your judges. But if I by the finger of God cast out devils,
doubtless the kingdom of God is come upon you. When a strong man armed keepeth
his court: those things are in peace which he possesseth. But if a stronger
than he come upon him and overcome him: he will take away all his armor wherein
he trusted and will distribute his spoils. he that is not with Me is against
Me: and he that gathereth not with Me, scattereth. When the unclean spirit is gone
out of a man, he walketh through places without water, seeking rest: and not
finding, he saith: I will return into my house whence I came out. And when he
is come, he findeth it swept and garnished. Then he goeth and taketh with him
seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and entering in they dwell there.
And the last state of that man becometh worse than the first. And it came to
pass as He spoke these things, a certain woman from the crowd lifting up her
voice said to Him: Blessed is the womb that bore Thee, and the paps that gave
Thee suck. But He said: Yea rather, blessed are they who hear the word of God
and keep it.
What are we to understand here by
the dumb devil?
The evil spirit, who so controls
those of whom he has possession that they are dumb, and through a false shame
keep away from confession.
By what power did Christ cast out
the devil?
By His divine power, which worked
so suddenly and perfectly that the possessed was at once freed and able to
speak.
How did Christ show the Jews that
He did not cast out devils by Beelzebub?
1. By the parable in which He
explains to them that the kingdom of Satan cannot stand if one evil spirit is
cast out by another.
2. By pointing to their own
children, some of whom were enabled to cast out devils by the power they had
received from God (Mark ix. 37, 38).
3. By His whole life, and His
works, which were in direct opposition to the devil.
Prayer.
O Jesus, conqueror of the dumb devil, strengthen me, that if I should have the
misfortune to sin against Thy holy commandments, I may have courage to overcome
my false shame, and confess my sins in sincerity and humility. O my Savior, be
Thou my leader in the fight, that I may foil those arms of the devil: my evil
inclinations, idleness, bad company, bad books, and human respect, and grant
that I may never relapse into sin, but serve Thee with perseverance. Amen.

Martyrdom of Felicity
and Perpetua[5]
Perpetua was twenty-two, well born,
married and the mother of a tiny son still at her breast. Felicitas, an
expectant mother, was a slave. They were among five catechumens whose arrest
and imprisonment were meant as a warning to the other Christians in Carthage in
the year 203. Tormented by her father who was a pagan and wanted her to
apostatize, terrified by the darkness and stifling heat of the dungeon where
they were imprisoned, Perpetua's greatest suffering nevertheless was for her
baby who was with her.
Baptism, however, drove away her fears and with the coming of the Holy
Spirit she was at peace and the prison became to her as a palace; in visions
she learned the manner of their martyrdom and caught glimpses of what awaits
souls in the life after death. Among these was a vision of Purgatory where she
saw her little brother Dinocratus suffering.
Dinocratus had died when he was
only seven, painfully ulcerated about the face. Perpetua saw him "coming
out of a dark place where there were many others," dirtily clad, pale,
with the wound still on his face, and he was very hot and thirsty. Near him was
a fountain but its brim was higher than he could reach and, though he stood on
tiptoe, he could not drink. By this vision she knew he needed her prayers, and
she prayed for him night and day. On the day the Christians were put in stocks,
she had another vision and saw Dinocratus freed. This time he was clean and
finely clothed, on his face was a clean scar and beside him a low fountain
reaching only to his waist. On the edge of the fountain was a golden cup ever
full of water, and Dinocratus drank. "And when he had drunk, he came away
— pleased to play, as children will."
In the meantime, Felicitas was
worried for fear her baby would not
be born in time for her to die for Christ with her companions. There was a law
which forbade throwing even a Christian woman to the wild beasts if she was
with child. Three days before they were to go to the arena, they prayed God
would permit the birth of her child, and as soon as their prayers were done,
her labor began. She gave birth to a little girl who was afterward adopted by
her sister.
At last, the scene of their
martyrdom and in its Perpetua and Felicity were told to put on the garments of
pagan priestesses, the two refused and so were stripped naked, covered with
nets, and sent to face assault by a maddened cow said to have been used in
insult to their womanhood and their maternity. Strangely enough the audience —
screaming for blood though it was — yet was touched by the sight of these two
so young and so valiant, and the people shuddered.
Perpetua and Felicitas were called
back and clothed in loose robes. Now Perpetua was thrown, her garment rent, and
her thigh gored. Regaining her feet, she gathered her tunic over her thigh so
in suffering she would not appear immodest and looking about found her fallen
hair ornament and repinned her hair least one soon to be a martyr seem to
grieve in her glory. Looking for Felicitas, she gave assistance to her and
standing together they awaited another attack. But the mob cried,
"Enough," and the two were led off to the headsman's block. Catching
sight of her brother, Perpetua cried out: "Stand fast in the faith and
love one another; and do not let our sufferings be a stumbling block to
you." Felicitas was struck down first then Perpetua — but only after the
nervous swordsman had struck her once and failed to sever her head. The second
time she guided his sword with her own hands. So brave, and so full of love;
perhaps if she were dying now, she would exhort us to be brave and full of love
in slightly different words. Perhaps she would cry out, "Stand fast in the
faith and love one another; and do not let our color be a stumbling block to
you." Perpetua was white, and Felicitas was black.
