Revelation 3: Philadelphia

Jesus would not permit God’s adversaries from preventing God’s beloved entering God’s holy house. Jesus had opened the portal, and no one could shut it. #Revelation3 #Philadelphia #Alasehir

Then, to the angel of the assembly in Philadelphia write, “These things says the Holy One, the Trustworthy and Truthful One, the One Who has the key of David, the One Who opens and no one closes, and Who closes and no one opens: “I have perceived your works: Behold, I have given before you a portal which has been opened, one that no one is able to close, because you have little ability, yet you…

“After sin comes shame; courage follows repentance.

Satan upsets the order; he gives courage to sin and shame to repentance.”

The least of these

“I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison and you visited me.”

Then the righteous will answer Him and say, “Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? When did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? When did we see you ill or in prison and visit you?”

And He will say to them in reply, “Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for the least of these – my brothers – you did it for me.”

That’s the heart of today’s Gospel. Jesus is telling us who we’re really helping, when we help anyone in need.

If you and I want to get our hearts in sync with God’s heart, this is where we start.

Not because it’s nice to be good to other people. Although it is.

Not because Cain was wrong (see Genesis 4). Although he was – I am my brother’s keeper.

But because this is the place of beginning with God.

If you and I want to truly know God – not what someone told us about God, not what we think we know about God.

If you and truly want to know God, then this is where our relationship with God starts.

By finding Christ.

Not in the liturgy or the sacraments. Not in the prayerful rhythm of my favorite archabbey or the beauty of nature. Not even in a well-produced series on Netflix.

Not until I first find Christ in people in need.

In the words of St. John Chrysostom - “If you cannot find Christ in the beggar at the church door, you will not find Him in the chalice.”

Saint John Chrysostom Bishop and Doctor of the Church c. 344-407 Feast Day: September 13 (New), January 27 (Trad) Patronage: orators, preachers, speakers, lecturers, education, epilepsy, Constantinople

Saint John Chrysostom was born to a Christian mother and a pagan Roman father. His father died, and his mother guided his education with the best of Christian and Greek philosophies and tutors. He became an eloquent orator (being called “Golden Mouth”), writing about the priesthood, marriage, and care for the poor and sick. His most famous homily is “On the Resurrection” and he edited the liturgy of St. Basil the Great. When he was Bishop of Constantinople, the empress Extoxia, exiled him because he was too influential. He died in exile, his last words were “Glory to God for all things”.

St Valentine

There are many versions of the Legend of St Valentine, but a few things are known. That he was a priest martyred (as in beheaded) on 14th February, in either 269 AD or 270 AD by the Roman Emperor Claudius II, also known as Claudius the Cruel. Among Valentine’s crimes was secretly marrying Christian lovers. Claudius, being a sexist as well as a tyrant, decided that those pesky women were the…

Me miserable! Which way shall I fly Infinite wrath and infinite despair? Which way I fly is hell; myself am hell; And in the lowest deep a lower deep, Still threat'ning to devour me, opens wide, To which the hell I suffer seems a heaven.

- John Milton, Paradise Lost (1667)

Fall of the Angels sits at the high altar of Saint Michael’s Church, Vienna. The high altar was designed in 1782 by Jean-Baptiste d’Avrange. But the monumental stucco alabaster Rococo sculpture Fall of the Angels was created by sculptor Karl Georg Merville. It was the last major Baroque work completed in Vienna in 1782.

It represents a cloudburst of angels and cherubs, falling from the ceiling towards the ground. In the centre the archangel Michael raises a flaming dart against the angelic rebels. Revelation 12:7 calls their leader "the dragon," but here all the fallen angels are represented anthropomorphically.

Saint Michael's Church is one of the oldest churches in Vienna, Austria, and also one of its few remaining Romanesque buildings. Dedicated to the Archangel Michael, St. Michael's Church is located at Michaelerplatz across from St. Michael's Gate at the Hofburg Palace. St. Michael's used to be the parish church of the Imperial Court, when it was called Zum Heiligen Michael.

“An angel fell from Heaven without any other passion except pride, and so we may ask whether it is possible to ascend to Heaven by humility alone, without any other of the virtues.”
