Stewardship
Reflecting on God’s Word
Nineteenth Sunday
in Ordinary Time
The Passover bread that the Israelites
made when leaving Egypt had no leaven
in it so that it would not spoil and could
con nue to provide nourishment to them
on the road. Thus it is some mes called
bread for the journey. Of course manna
also sustained them on their journey
through the desert. And so did the Torah.
So deliciously nourishing is the Word of
God that some young Jewish children
begin learning the Hebrew alphabet by
licking honey placed on each le er so that
the Torah should always be “sweet on the
tongue.”
The story of Elijah being nourished in the
desert beau fully epitomizes the many
ways in which God provides bread for the
journey. For Chris ans, Jesus’ words,
works, and life given for us are the bread
we crave. He alone gives us the strength
and courage to “be kind . . . [forgive] one
another . . . and live in love” (Ephesians
4:32, 5:2). And, oddly enough, we can find
this ample nourishment from the
Eucharist when all we taste is a sip and a
crumb.

Scriptures at their level. We team teach on a rota onal basis, so
your commitment would be around 5 hours a month—two
evening sessions and one Sunday morning. We can work the
assignments around your schedule and preference of topics.
Lesson plans and training will be provided. Please pray about this

What was Happening in the Second
Century?
Early Chris anity outside of Pales ne was also challenged by a rising
number of Mystery Cults. These cults a racted devotees who were
abandoning the classical mythology of Greece and Rome. Unlike the
religions of the classical gods who were thought to be distant from
humanity and capricious in their ac ons, these new religious forms
provided a sense of personal communion with a deity, and offered
an opportunity of salva on. Usually these cults involved a prepara on
period, initiation rites, and a sacred communal meal. Most were based
on reimagining other more ancient myths, such as the Cult of Isis
which drew upon the Egyptian mother goddess Isis and her brother/
husband Osiris, the Cult of the Earth Mother Cybele of Anatolia and
her lover Attis, or the Eleusinian Mysteries which was based on the
death and rebirth cycle of the goddess of grain Demeter and her
daughter Persephone who is kidnapped and taken to the underworld.
These and other mystery cults contained concepts of death and
resurrection, based on the natural vegetative cycles of fruitfulness,
harvest and dormancy, and celebrated their most significant festivals
in conjunction with solstices and the equinoxes.
When Chris anity began to spread throughout the Hellenized world,
many people perceived it as another of these mystery cults.
Chris ans also spoke of celebra ng sacred mysteries which were
kept secret from the unini ated. They, too, had stories of death and
resurrec on, ini a on rites, a sacred meal, and a promise of eternal
life to adherents. However, there were also significant differences
between the Chris an Faith and the mystery cults. Chris anity
demanded exclusive loyalty. If one chose to become a Chris an, all
other religious prac ces were forbidden, whereas one could belong
to several of the mystery cults simultaneously if desired. Chris anity
was monotheis c, whereas the cults remained polytheis c. Most
significantly, Chris anity was based upon a real historical person,
Jesus of Nazareth, who lived a real life, performed miracles that had
been witnessed, taught a high level of morality, and who actually,
historically, died and rose again from the dead. The mystery cults
were all based upon mythological figures, whom no one believed to
have been actual living persons.
The most difficult challenge posed to Chris anity was the Cult of
Mithras. Mithraism was very ancient, possibly reaching back to 1500
B.C. in India and Persia, but was growing vastly in popularity in the
first two or three centuries of the Chris an Era. Mithras was a
nature deity, associated with the sun. The se ng and rising of the
sun provided a death/resurrec on mo f. Although Mithras was not
an historical person, the cult s ll had stories about the origins of this
sun-god, who was said to have been born of a virgin, in a cave, on
the 25th of December. He was given the tle of Sol Invictus, the
Unconquerable Sun, and was said to be the Light and the Truth.
Similar tles were a ributed to Jesus, except that Jesus was the
Unconquerable Son (not Sun).
The rituals of Mithraism paralleled that of Chris anity as well.
Ini a on included a ritual bath, however the ini ate was bathed in
blood rather than the water of Chris an bap sm. Ini ates of
Mithraism celebrated a sacred meal together. The primary day of
worship was Sunday, and Mithras was associated with both a lion
and a lamb, some mes depicted carrying a lamb on his shoulders,
just as Jesus is in the Good Shepherd mo fs.
In the second and third centuries of the Chris an era, Mithraism had
spread throughout the Roman Empire from India to Scotland.
Several of the Church Fathers, including St. Jus n Martyr, Tertullian
and Augus ne wrote tracts opposing Mithraism.
But, despite the popularity and spread of Mithraism, the cult
ul mately died out while Chris anity grew and flourished.
And, so the story of the Church con nues . . .

Reflexionemos sobre la
Palabra de Dios
Decimonoveno Domingo del
Tiempo Ordinario
El pan que hicieron los israelitas para su
pascua al salir de Egipto no contenía
levadura a fin de que no se echara a
perder y pudiera servirles de alimento
durante el camino. Por eso es que a veces
se le llama pan para la travesía. Por
supuesto que el maná también los
alimentó durante su travesía por el
desierto; y lo mismo el Torá. Tan
deleitosa y alimen cia es la Palabra de
Dios que algunos niños judíos comienzan
a aprender el alfabeto hebreo lamiendo la
miel que le han puesto sobre cada letra,
de manera que aprendan que el Torá
siempre debe ser “dulce al paladar”.
La historia de Elías en el desierto pifica
hermosamente las muchas maneras en
que Dios provee pan para el camino. Para
los cris anos las palabras, las obras y la
vida de Jesús, que lo entrega todo por
nosotros, es el pan que ansiamos. Sólo él
nos da la fuerza y el valor para ser
“bondadosos y compasivos los unos con
los otros . . . [perdonándonos, y haciendo]
del amor la norma de [nuestra]
vida” (Efesios 4:32, 5:2). Y, aunque nos
parezca raro, nosotros podemos recibir
este alimento copioso en la Eucaris a con
sólo un sorbito y una miga.
