Through the Church Fathers: April 27

  • サマリー

  • Today’s readings invite us to reflect on prophecy, vocation, and divine grace. Justin Martyr, in Dialogue with Trypho, Chapters 77–78, contends that Isaiah’s prophecy about the fall of Damascus and Samaria points not to Hezekiah, but to Christ—fulfilled in the coming of the Magi, the sign of the cave, and the massacre of the innocents. Augustine, in Confessions, Book IX, Chapter 2, meditates on his decision to quietly leave the world of public rhetoric as his lungs fail, choosing rest in God over recognition by man. And Aquinas, in Summa Theologica, I.62.2, teaches that even angels, for all their natural excellence, needed grace to turn to God as their beatitude. Not even they could ascend to glory apart from divine help.
