la Iglesia celebra la Natividad de la Santísima Virgen... en la Iglesia sólo se celebra fiesta por un santo ... es sabido que algunos otros recibieron el privilegio de ser santificados en el seno materno. Tal aconteció con Jeremías, al que se le dice: Antes de que salieras del seno materno, te santifiqué (Jer 1,5); y con Juan el Bautista, del que se lee en Lc 1,15: Será lleno del Espíritu Santo ya desde el seno materno. Suma teológica - Parte IIIa - Cuestión 27 Beda, in Marcum, 2,25 Entre todos los hombres, dos solamente se lee que celebrasen el día de su nacimiento con alegres fiestas: Herodes y Faraón (Gen 40:20).   Con uno y otro ejemplo, sin embargo, se prueba que es más útil para nosotros recordar con frecuencia el día de nuestra muerte temiendo y obrando castamente, que celebrar lascivamente el día de nuestro nacimiento. Que el hombre nace al mundo para el trabajo, y los elegidos pasan del mundo al descanso por la muerte. Catena Aurea Marcos 6:17-29

Even though incorporated into the Church, one who does not however persevere in charity is not saved . He remains indeed in the bosom of the Church, but 'in body' not 'in heart .'" (837) Only the Spirit of God can fathom the human heart ...the place of truth, where we choose life or death (2563) A pleasing illustration of this attitude is found in the reply of St. Joan of Arc to a question posed as a trap by her ecclesiastical judges: "Asked if she knew that she was in God's grace , she replied: 'If I am not, may it please God to put me in it; if I am, may it please God to keep me there.'" (2005) Relevant: 398 In that sin man preferred himself to God and by that very act scorned him. He chose himself over and against God, against the requirements of his creaturely status and therefore against his own good. Constituted in a state of holiness, man was destined to be fully "divinized" by God in glory. Seduced by the devil, he wanted to...

Jn 5:46 If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote of me. 47 But if you do not believe his writings , how will you believe my words?” Rom 10:5 Moses writes that the man who practices the righteousness which is based on the law shall live by it. (Lev 18:5) THE MOSAIC AUTHENTICITY OF THE PENTATEUCH ( De mosaica authentia Pentateuchi , 1906, translated from Italian) To the following doubts presented, the Pontifical Council for Biblical Studies has deemed it appropriate to respond as follows: I. The arguments accumulated by the critics to combat the Mosaic authenticity of the sacred books, which are called by the name of the Pentateuch, carry such weight as to have to affirm, despite the multiple testimonies of both Testaments taken together, the perpetual agreement of the Jewish people, the constant tradition of the Church and the internal clues that are discovered in the text itself, that these books do not have Moses as their author, but that they were written through...

Rom 9:19:24 19 You will say to me then, “Why does he still find fault? For who can resist his will?”[b] 20 But who are you, a man, to answer back to God? Will what is molded say to its molder, “Why have you made me thus?” 21 Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same lump one vessel for beauty and another for menial use? 22 What if God, desiring to show his wrath and to make known his power, has endured with much patience the vessels of wrath made for destruction, 23 in order to make known the riches of his glory for the vessels of mercy, which he has prepared beforehand for glory, 24 even us whom he has called, not from the Jews only but also from the Gentiles? Is 29:16 You turn things upside down!     Shall the potter be regarded as the clay; that the thing made should say of its maker,     “He did not make me”; or the thing formed say of him who formed it,     “He has no understanding”? Is 45:9 “Woe to him who strives w...
