Imitatio Mariae: Znakovi naše vjere

Imitatio Mariae: Znakovi naše vjere: Znak je nešto što vodi spoznaji nečega drugoga. Naša vjera, rimokatolička vjera, puna je znakova jer veći dio stvarnosti naše vjere nedostup...

  Jean Ingres, 1854: Joan of Arc at the Coronation of Charles VII. As a child she received visions calling her to rescue France from a war of succession between two royal houses. She led troops into battle and won Orléans, but was later tried as a witch and a heretic, likely for being a powerful woman, and put to death at 19. One Pope declared her innocent after the fact and another canonized her in 1920. She is a patron saint of France.

  Collect of the Day: Joan of Arc, Visionary, 1431

  Holy God, whose power is made perfect in weakness: we honor you for the calling of Jeanne d’Arc, who, though young, rose up in valor to bear your standard for her country, and endured with grace and fortitude both victory and defeat; and we pray that we, like Jeanne, may bear witness to the truth that is in us to friends and enemies alike, and, encouraged by the companionship of your saints, give ourselves bravely to the struggle for justice in our time; through Christ our Savior, who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

  Paolo Veronese, 16th C.: Christ Heals the Centurion’s Servant

  THE LESSON

  Matthew 8:5-17 (NRSV)

  When Jesus entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him, appealing to him and saying, “Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, in terrible distress.” And he said to him, “I will come and cure him.” The centurion answered, “Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof; but only speak the word, and my servant will be healed. For I also am a man under authority, with soldiers under me; and I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes, and to my slave, ‘Do this,’ and the slave does it.”

  When Jesus heard him, he was amazed and said to those who followed him, “Truly I tell you, in no one in Israel have I found such faith. I tell you, many will come from east and west and will eat with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven, while the heirs of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” And to the centurion Jesus said, “Go; let it be done for you according to your faith.” And the servant was healed in that hour.

  When Jesus entered Peter’s house, he saw his mother-in-law lying in bed with a fever; he touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she got up and began to serve him. That evening they brought to him many who were possessed with demons; and he cast out the spirits with a word, and cured all who were sick. This was to fulfill what had been spoken through the prophet Isaiah, “He took our infirmities and bore our diseases.”

  Canticle: A Song of God’s Love

  1 John 4:7-11

  Beloved, let us love one another, *

  for love is of God.

  Whoever does not love does not know God, *

  for God is Love.

  In this the love of God was revealed among us, *

  that God sent his only Son into the world,

  so that we might live through Jesus Christ.

  In this is love, not that we loved God but that God loved us *

  and sent his Son that sins might be forgiven.

  Beloved, since God loved us so much, *

  we ought also to love one another.

  For if we love one another, God abides in us, *

  and God’s love will be perfected in us.

  THE APOSTLES’ CREED

  I believe in God,

  the Father almighty,

  creator of heaven and earth.

  I believe in Jesus Christ,

  God’s only son, our Lord,

  who was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit,

  born of the Virgin Mary,

  suffered under Pontius Pilate,

  was crucified, died, and was buried;

  he descended to the dead.

  On the third day he rose again;

  he ascended into heaven,

  he is seated at the right hand of the Father,

  and he will come again to judge the living and the dead.

  I believe in the Holy Spirit,

  the holy catholic Church,

  the communion of saints,

  the forgiveness of sins,

  the resurrection of the body,

  and the life everlasting. Amen.
