Subject: [TAC] Daily Excerpt for December 18 2006
Date: December 16, 2006 07:46 pm

Today's excerpt is from St. Irenaeus:

"He it was who took on the likeness of sinful flesh, to condemn sin and
rid the flesh of sin, as now condemned. He wanted to invite man to take on
his likeness, appointing man an imitator of God, establishing man in a way
of life in obedience to the Father that would lead to the vision of God,
and endowing man with power to receive the Father. He is the Word of God
who dwelt with man and became the Son of Man to open the way for man to
receive God, for God to dwell with man, according to the will of the
Father. For this reason the Lord Himself gave as the sign of our
salvation, the one who was born of the Virgin, Emmanuel. It was the Lord
Himself who saved them, for of themselves they had no power to be saved.
For this reason Paul speaks of the weakness of man, and says: I know that
no good dwells in my flesh, meaning that the blessing of our salvation
comes not from us but from God. Again, he says: I am a wretched man; who
will free me from this body doomed to die? Then he speaks of a liberator,
thanks to Jesus Christ our Lord. Isaiah says the same: Hands that are
feeble, grow strong! Knees that are weak, take courage! Hearts that are
faint, grow strong! Fear not; see, our God is judgement and He will repay.
He himself will come and save us. He means that we could not be saved of
ourselves but only with God’s help." (From The treatise "Against
Heresies" [Office of Readings])

God Bless.

Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, pray for us!

St. Gianna Beretta Molla, pray for us!
