Dec. 5 update (apnews.com/)

Syrian insurgents entered the 4th largest city (Hama)

after 3 days of intense clashes with Assad's

Mark 6: 26 - 29 (Revised New Jerusalem transl.)

a unique parable to GospMark chapter 4 "The seed 

growing by itself"

He (Jesus) also said,

"This is what the kingdom

of God is like.  It is as if

a man should scatter seed on

the earth.  Night and day,

while he sleeps, when he is

awake, the seed sprouts and

grows, how, he does NOT know.

Of its own accord the earth

produced first the shoot, 

then the ear, then the full

grain in the ear.  And when

the crop is ripe, at once he

puts in the sickle, because

harvest time has come!"

I John 5: 6 - 9 (Revised New Jerusalem Bible transl.)

I John chapter 5 contains

the Johannine Comma

(verses 7 - 8):

verse 6

"He it is who came

by water and blood,

Jesus Christ,

not with water alone,

but with water and blood,

and it is the Spirit

that bears witness,

for the Spirit is Truth.

verses 7 - 8

So there are three witnesses,

the Spirit, the water,

and the blood,

and these three are one.

verse 9

If we accept the testimony of

human witnesses,

God's testimony is greater,

for this is God's testimony

which he gave about his Son.

John's Prologue (GospJohn 1: 9-14)

Excerpt of REVISED NEW JERUSALEM translation:

The true light that gives

light to everyone

was coming into the world!

He was in the world

and the world came into

being through him,

and the world did not know him.

He came to what was his own

and his own people did not

accept him

But to those who did accept him

he gave power to become

children of God,

to those who believed in his

name, who were born not from

blood, or from the will of the

flesh, or from human will

but from God himself.

The Word became flesh,

and lived among us, 

and we saw his glory,

the glory as of an

only-begotten Son 

of the Father, 

full of grace and truth!

TRANSLATION: The Jerusalem Bible (1966)

Take the fig tree as a parable; as soon

as its twigs grow supple and its leaves

come out, you know that summer is near.

So with you when you see these things as

happening: know that he is near, at the

very gates!  I tell you solemnly,

before this generation has passed away,

all these things will have taken place.

Heaven and earth will pass away, but

my words will not pass away.

But as for that day or hour, nobody

knows it, neither the angels of heaven,

nor the Son; no one but the Father.

You are the salt of the earth -- Sayings of Jesus

Mark 9: 42 - 50 (omitting 44 & 46)

But anyone who is an obstacle to

bring down one of these little ones

who have faith, would be better thrown

into the sea with a great millstone 

round his neck.  And if your hand 

should cause you to sin, cut it off;

it is better for you to enter into life

crippled, than to have two hands and

go to Gehenna, into the fire that

cannot be put out.  And if your foot

should cause you to sign, cut it off;

it is better for you to enter into life

lame, than to have two feet and be

thrown into Gehenna.  And if your eye

should cause you to sign, tear it out;

it is better for you to enter into the

kingdom of God with one eye,

than to have two eyes and be thrown

into Gehenna where their worm does

not die nor their fire go out. For everyone

will be salted with fire.  SALT is a good 

thing, but if sale has become insipid,

how can you season it again?  Have SALT

in yourselves and be at peace with one

another!

Emperor Constantine (from C. & the Bishops by H.A. Drake)

Constantine died May 22, 337 (Whitsuntide),

with his place in history already secure.  Eusebius

of Caesarea, who records the emperor's last days in 

his Vita Constantinii, is circumspect about the nature

of the illness and his symptoms, reporting 

only that it began as a "slight bodily 

indisposition" and around Easter took a turn 

for the worse.  Despairing a cure around 

Constantinople, Constantine crossed the 

Hellespont and went first to 

Drepanum. . .famous for its hot springs 

and the site for the powerful bones of the

martyr Lucian of Antioch.  There he exhausted 

himself in prayer and supplication.  With the end 

fast approaching, he began a progress to the 

sea but had to stop at Nicomedia,

where he summoned the Bishops and 

begged for the solemn rite of baptism. . .

Typically, Constantine died with a message 

on his lips.  Leaving little to the imagination,

Constantine arranged for his body to be 

placed in the middle of relics and memorials 

for each of the Apostles.

A dutiful church responded with 

the honorific title of 

ISAPOSTOLOS ( the equal of the Apostles).

Go back to their lairs

And I say to them, "Bears,

Just look how I'm walking in all the squares!"
