Saint John Chrysostom, born at Antioch towards 347 A.D., was a great genius and his powerful eloquence earned for him the surname of Chrysostom, or "Golden Mouthed". [Editor: Note that Saint Bernard of Clairvaux also earned the soubriquet of "Mellifluous", or "Honey-Tongued".] The people of Constantinople, eager to hear him, crowded his Cathedral.

He ardently loved Saint Paul, of whom he would say: "The heart of Paul is The Heart of Christ." He also passionately loved Christ, and, like the great Apostle, he suffered everything rather than allow His Divine Rights to be impaired.

With Saint Athanasius, Saint Gregory of Nazianzen, and Saint Basil, he forms the group of The Four Great Doctors Of The Eastern Church (Introit).

Anointed Archbishop of The Imperial City, he always distributed to those, whose father he had become, The Bread of The Word and of Grace (Communion).

His courage in branding vice, "in correcting in Season and out of Season" (Epistle), in order always to be The Salt of Wisdom, which preserves Souls from corruption (Gospel), caused him to be exiled and ill-treated in all manner of ways (Alleluia).

The Retreat will begin on the early afternoon of Friday, 17 February 2017, and finish on the afternoon of Sunday, 19 February 2017 (Presidents’ Day weekend).

In order to cover the expenses (Fr. Carlos’ travel from France, food, donation to the Parish, etc) we suggest a donation of $60. Also, please bring a sleeping bag.

In addition to the Meditations, The Traditional Mass will be sung each day, as well as parts of The Divine Office; there will also be plenty of opportunities for Spiritual Direction and Confession.

Saint Polycarp, a disciple of Saint John, was by him invested with full Sacerdotal powers (Introit) and made Bishop of Smyrna [Editor: Known, today, as Izmir, Turkey.]. In a Letter, that he writes to the Philippians, he quotes the first Epistle of his Master (Saint John, of which a passage is read in today's Liturgy.

"Whoever," he declares after Saint John, "does not confess that Christ has come in the flesh, is an Anti-Christ." He claims for Jesus the reality of His quality of Son of God against the heretics of his day, who affirmed that The Incarnation of The Word was only a semblance.

One day, when the heretic Marcion asked him if he was known to him, the Holy Bishop replied: "That he knew him as the eldest son of Satan".

And today's Epistle enables us to distinguish "The Sons of God from those who are the sons of Satan". Those who, like Christ, love their brethren, and, like Him, give their lives for them, are of God. That is what Saint Polycarp will do.

Martyred in the Persecution under Emperor Commodus, he bore testimony to Christ (Gospel). He was burned in the middle of the amphitheatre and then struck with the sword, in the year 166 A.D. He was 86 years old.

Like Polycarp (which name signifies "much fruit"), let us produce much fruit by loving our neighbour for Jesus's sake.

The following Text is from Wikipedia - the free encyclopaedia.

Polycarp (Greek: Πολύκαρπος, Polýkarpos; Latin: Polycarpus; 69 A.D. – 155 A.D.) was a

2nd-Century A.D. Christian Bishop of Smyrna.

According to the Martyrdom of Polycarp, he died a Martyr, bound and burned at the stake, then stabbed when the fire failed to touch him. Polycarp is regarded as a Saint and Church Father in The Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, Catholic, Anglican, and Lutheran Churches. His name 'Polycarp' means 'much fruit' in Greek.

It is recorded by Irenaeus, who heard him speak in his youth, and by Tertullian, that he had been a disciple of Saint John the Apostle. Saint Jerome wrote that Polycarp was a disciple of Saint John and that Saint John had Ordained him Bishop of Smyrna.

The early Tradition that expanded upon the Martyrdom to link Polycarp in competition and contrast with Saint John the Apostle, who, though many people had tried to kill him, was not Martyred but died of old age after being exiled to the island of Patmos, is embodied in The Coptic language fragmentary papyri (the "Harris fragments") dating to the 3rd- to 6th-Centuries A.D. 

Frederick Weidmann, their editor, interprets the "Harris fragments" as Smyrnan hagiography addressing Smyrna–Ephesus Church rivalries, which "develops the association of Polycarp and Saint John to a degree unwitnessed, so far as we know, either before or since". The fragments echo The Martyrology, and diverge from it.

With Clement of Rome and Ignatius of Antioch, Polycarp is regarded as one of the three chief Apostolic Fathers. The sole surviving work attributed to his authorship is his Letter to The Philippians; it is first recorded by Irenaeus of Lyons.

The following Text is taken from Wikipedia - the free encyclopaedia.

"Te lucis ante terminum" is an old Latin Hymn in Long Metre. It is the Hymn at Compline in The Roman Breviary.

The authorship, by Saint Ambrose of Milan, for which Pimont contends, is not admitted by The Benedictine Editors, or by Luigi Biraghi. The Hymn is found in a Hymnary, in Irish script (described by Clemens Blume in his Cursus, etc.) of the 8th- or Early-9th-Century A.D.; but the classical Prosody of its two Stanzas (Solita in the third line of the original Text is the only exception) suggests a much earlier origin. In this Hymnary, it is assigned, together with the Hymn Christe qui splendor et dies (also known as Christe qui lux es et dies), to Compline.

An earlier arrangement (as shown by The Rule of Caesarius of Arles, circa 502 A.D.), coupled with the Christe qui lux, the Hymn Christe precamur adnue, and assigned both to the "Twelfth Hour of The Day" for alternate recitation throughout the Year. The later introduction of the Te lucis suggests a later origin.

The two Hymns, Te lucis and Christe qui lux, did not maintain everywhere the same relative position; the latter was used in Winter, the former in Summer and on Festivals; while many Cathedrals and Monasteries replaced the Te lucis, by the Christe qui lux, from The First Sunday of Lent to Passion Sunday or Holy Thursday - a custom followed by The Dominicans.

The old Breviary of The Carthusians used the Christe qui lux throughout the Year. The Roman Breviary assigns the Te lucis daily throughout the Year, except from Holy Thursday to The Friday after Easter, inclusively. Merati, in his notes on Galvanus's Thesaurus, says that it has always held, without variation, this place in The Roman Church. As it is sung daily, The Vatican Antiphonary gives it many Plainsong Settings for the varieties of Season and Rite (e.g. the nine Melodies, pp. 117–121, 131, 174, 356, 366).

The Text, given below, is the original version of the Hymn. It was altered by Pope Urban VIII. The 1974 Breviary of Pope Paul VI restores the earlier form of the first and last Verse, but replaces the second Verse with two additional Verses. Pope Urban's version is still used by some, especially since the Motu Proprio, Summorum Pontificum, authorised continued use of The Roman Breviary in its 1962 Form. Most Monasteries adopted Pope Paul's Form in the 1970s, meaning the original version is seldom sung in Monasteries. The following translation is by J. M. Neale (1818–1866).

Te lucis ante terminum,

rerum Creator, poscimus,

ut solita clementia,

sis praesul ad custodiam.

Procul recedant somnia,

et noctium phantasmata:

hostemque nostrum comprime,

ne polluantur corpora.

Praesta, Pater omnipotens,

per Iesum Christum Dominum,

qui tecum in perpetuum

regnat cum Sancto Spiritu.

Amen.

To Thee before the close of day,

Creator of the World, we Pray

That, with Thy wonted favour, Thou

Wouldst be our guard and keeper now.

From all ill dreams defend our sight,

From fears and terrors of the night;

Withhold from us our ghostly foe,

That spot of sin we may not know.

O, Father, that we ask be done,

Through Jesus Christ, Thine Only Son,

Who, with The Holy Ghost and Thee,

Doth live and reign eternally.

Amen.

The 1974 Revision replaces the second Strophe with the Text "Te corda nostra somnient,/ te per soporem sentiant,/ tuamque semper gloriam/ vicina luce concinant. Vitam salubrem tribue,/ nostrum calorem refice,/ taetram noctis caliginem/ tua collustret claritas".

This Text has frequently been set to music. The earliest is the Plainsong version found in The Liber Usualis (used as the opening of Benjamin Britten's "Curlew River"); another, from The Sarum Rite, is much used in England. Thomas Tallis and Henry Balfour Gardiner both composed memorable settings of the Text, among many others.

Paul of Tarsus was a Jew of the Tribe of Benjamin. A most zealous Pharisee, he appears in the Epistle as full of hatred "for the Disciples of The Lord". He becomes a "Vessel of Election", so filled with The Holy Ghost (Epistle), "that all Nations shall drink of its fulness," says Saint Ambrose, and shall learn through him that "Jesus is The Son of God" (Epistle).

Saint Paul is, like The Twelve, an Apostle of Christ (Alleluia), "he shall sit in one of the twelve seats and shall judge the World when The Son of Man shall Himself be seated on The Throne which belongs to Him as Son of God" (Gradual and Gospel).

We owe it to today's Feast, which follows by a few days that of The Chair of Saint Peter at Rome, and which had for its origin a Translation of the body of Saint Paul, that we are enabled to see the whole Season after Epiphany represented in a picture [Editor: A Theoretical Picture], giving us an admirable vision of The Kingship of Jesus.

In the foreground [Editor: Of this Theoretical Picture] are the two witnesses of The Divinity of Christ, Saint Peter, more especially sent to the sons of Israel, and Saint Paul, to the Gentiles (Collect, Gradual).

In the background [Editor: Of this Theoretical Picture], is Galilee with its verdant hills, where we perceive Cana, the Synagogue of Nazareth, and the Lake of Genesareth, where Jesus, by His Miracles, proved that He was The Son of God.

Following the example of Saint Paul, let us show by our Faith, and by a new life, that Jesus is God and that He is our King.

Saint Timothy (Greek: Τιμόθεος; Timótheos, meaning "Honouring God" or "Honoured by God") was a 1st - Century A.D. Christian Bishop, who died around 97 A.D. The New Testament indicates that Saint Timothy travelled with Saint Paul, who was also his mentor. Timothy is addressed as the recipient of the Epistles to Timothy.

Saint Timothy is mentioned in The Bible at the time of Paul's second visit to Lystra, in Anatolia, where Timothy is mentioned as a "Disciple". Paul calls him his "own son in The Faith". Timothy often travelled with Paul. Timothy's mother was Jewish and his father was Greek, but he had not been circumcised, and Paul now ensured that this was done, according to the Text, to ensure Timothy’s acceptability to the Jews.

According to McGarvey, Paul performed the operation "with his own hand", but others claim this is unlikely and nowhere attested. He was Ordained and went with Paul on his journeys through Phrygia, Galatia, Mysia,Troas, Philippi, Veria, and Corinth. His mother, Eunice, and his grandmother, Lois, are noted as eminent for their piety and Faith, which indicates that they may have also been Christians. Timothy is praised by Paul for his knowledge of The Scriptures (in the 1st-Century A.D., mostly The Septuagint (Greek); See Development of The New Testament Canon - Clement of Rome), and is said to have been acquainted with The Scriptures since childhood.

That Timothy was jailed at least once, during the period of the writing of The New Testament, is implied by the writer of Hebrews mentioning Timothy's release at the end of the Epistle. It is also apparent that Timothy had some type of stomach malady, owing to Paul's advice, in 1 Timothy 5:23, counselling Timothy to: "No longer drink water exclusively, but use a little wine for the sake of your stomach and your frequent ailments."

Paul commanded Timothy to remain in Ephesus (1 Timothy 1): "I command you to stay there in Ephesus", to prevent Heresy from infecting The Church in Ephesus. Paul also gave him instructions for establishing Elders and Deacons, there. These very guidelines have become the commonly-used guidelines among Churches across the World to this day.

According to later Tradition, Paul Consecrated Timothy as Bishop of Ephesus in 65 A.D., where he served for fifteen years. In 97 A.D., (with Timothy dying at age eighty), Timothy tried to halt a pagan procession of idols, ceremonies, and songs. In response to his Preaching of the Gospel, the angry pagans beat him, dragged him through the streets, and stoned him to death. In the 4th-Century A.D., his Relics were Transferred to The Church of The Holy Apostles, in Constantinople.

The following Text is from The Saint Andrew Daily Missal.

Saint Timothy, born at Lystra (Asia Minor), of a pagan father and a Jewish mother, was already a Christian when Saint Paul came to that town. Saint Paul, whose Conversion we Celebrate tomorrow, was struck by Timothy's Holiness and took him as a companion on his travels. Saint Timothy thereupon gave up everything and became his Disciple (Gospel).

Saint Paul conferred on him full Sacerdotal powers (Introit) and committed to his care The Church of Ephesus. We read, in the Epistle, a passage of one of the two admirable Letters which his Master wrote to him. Saint Timothy was stoned to death in his Episcopal City in 97 A.D.

Let us, with Timothy, confess The Divinity of Christ in this Season After Epiphany, which is its Liturgical manifestation.

The following Text is from Wikipedia - the free encyclopaedia.

The Chrysler Building is an Art Deco Skyscraper, located on The East Side of Midtown Manhattan, in New York City, at the intersection of 42nd Street and Lexington Avenue, in the Turtle Bay neighborhood.

At 1,046 feet (319 m), the structure was the World's tallest building for eleven months, before it was surpassed by The Empire State Building in 1931. It is still the tallest brick building in the World, albeit with an internal steel skeleton. After the destruction of The World Trade Center, it was again the second-tallest building in New York City, until December 2007, when the Spire was raised on the 1,200-foot (365.8 m) Bank of America Tower, pushing The Chrysler Building into third position. In addition, The New York Times Building, which opened in 2007, is exactly level with The Chrysler Building in height. Both buildings were pushed into fourth position, when the under-construction One World Trade Center surpassed their height.

The Chrysler Building is a classic example of Art Deco architecture and considered by many contemporary architects to be one of the finest buildings in New York City. In 2007, it was ranked ninth on The List of America's Favorite Architecture by The American Institute of Architects. It was the headquarters of The Chrysler Corporation from 1930 until the Mid-1950s.

Although the building was built and designed specifically for The Car Manufacturer, the Corporation did not pay for the construction of it and never owned it, as Walter P. Chrysler decided to pay for it himself, so that his children could inherit it.

The Chrysler Building was designed by architect William Van Alen for a project of Walter P. Chrysler. When the ground-breaking occurred on 19 September 1928, there was an intense competition in New York City to build the World's tallest Skyscraper. Despite a frantic pace (the building was built at an average rate of four floors per week), no workers died during the construction of this Skyscraper.

Van Alen's original design for the Skyscraper called for a decorative jewel-like Glass Crown. It also featured a base, in which the showroom windows were tripled in height and topped by twelve Stories with Glass-Wrapped corners, creating an impression that the Tower appeared physically and visually light, as if floating in mid-air.

The height of the Skyscraper was also originally designed to be 246 meters (807 ft). However, the design proved to be too advanced and costly for building contractor William H. Reynolds, who disapproved of Van Alen's original plan.

The design and lease were sold to Walter P. Chrysler, who worked with Van Alen and re-designed the Skyscraper for additional Stories; it was eventually revised to 282 m (925 ft) tall. As Walter Chrysler was the Chairman of The Chrysler Corporation and intended to make the building into Chrysler's headquarters, various architectural details, and especially the building's Gargoyles, were modelled after Chrysler automobile products, like the Hood Ornaments of the Plymouth; they exemplify the machine age in the 1920s.
