ST. ANTHONY OF PADUA CHURCH LORAIN, OH

Before His Ascension, our Lord commanded

His apostles to teach all of mankind and baptize

them “in the name of the Father and of the Son

and of the Holy Spirit.” You would think that this equal listing of the

Holy Trinity would be enough to indicate that all

three persons shared equally in the divinity. But in the first three Christian centuries peo-

ple used the phrase without any deep examina-

tion of its meaning. About 300 AD there arose

in Alexandria, Egypt, a priest named Arius, who

began to teach that Jesus, though the Word made

flesh, was not equal to the Father, not God, but

like us a creature, though, of course, the highest

of all God’s creatures. Now Arius was no fool.

He had a brilliant mind and presented “proofs”

that at first seemed pretty convincing. As a re-

sult, a great turmoil arose in the Christian cen-

ters of both East and West. The Roman emper-

ors and other rulers took sides in the dispute, and

“Arianism” which labeled Christ as just a man,

caused trouble right up into the middle ages. From the beginning of the squabble, how-

ever, the majority of Christian bishops and

scholars knew that Arius was wrong. It was

only a case of proving he was wrong on the basis

of Scripture and Tradition. The first ecumenical

council, held in 325 AD at Nicaea in Asia Mi-

nor, expressed the correct doctrine. The bishops

having condemned Arius issued the profession

of faith (The Creed) we continue to proclaim

each Sunday at Mass, where we call Jesus Christ

“consubstantial with the Father.” After that the

loyal Catholic bishops, especially St. Basil the

Great, also urged everybody to use as a forceful

statement of their faith in the Trinity, the doxol-

ogy: “Glory be to the Father and to the Son and

to the Holy Spirit.” How often we still use this

prayer at Mass or in the rosary without realizing

that we are crying out “You’re wrong!” to a man

who 16 centuries ago dared to declare that Christ

is not truly God!

~Rev. Edward J Smith

MEMORIAL DAY PRAYER Dear Lord, on this day, we

remember those who have

served us by protecting our

freedoms. When we celebrate our long weekend

with our friends and family, help us remember,

that our freedom to speak of you, and our freedom

to worship you, and our freedom to do that which

we ought to do, have all been bought at the price

and sacrifice of many lives. Your Son died for our

eternal life in heaven. So too, your children died

protecting us here on earth. Help us be mindful

this weekend and always of the sacrifices made by

those in uniform for all our freedoms. Amen.
