Podcast. The Love of God and the Passion of Christ

Fr. Patrick Henry Reardon

On March 26, 2009, the Fellowship of St. James, publisher of Touchstone and Salvo magazines, hosted a Lenten talk by Fr. Patrick Henry Reardon, the pastor of All Saints Antiochian Orthodox Church in Chicago, Illinois, and the author of Christ in the Psalms and Christ in His Saints, both published by Conciliar Press. The title of the talk was "The Love of God and the Passion of Christ," and it was preceded by an invocation by Fr. Wilbur Ellsworth, pastor of Holy Transfiguration Antiochian Orthodox Church in Warrenville, Illinois.

Worth a couple of listens. Sorry it's not short.

"What the Father sought was not someone who could repair the divine honor, nor satisfy the divine justice, or receive punishment of the divine wrath. What the Father provided was a human being who loved him perfectly...and made the full gift of his being in an adoring sacrifice of thankgiving."

Amen!

God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.

"I love, therefore I am in I Am. God is my life."

"God in Christ by His Spirit empowers, enables, energizes and enacts all Christian behavior and ministry as the dynamic expression of the life of Jesus Christ. Christianity is Christ. Christian living is the life and character of Jesus Christ lived out through the Christian." -James Fowler

And... so interesting how Reardon avoides choosing sides between 'east and wesst' and 'early and late' in the choices he quotes.

Also interesting is his reliance on OT understandings of sacrifice.

Tom, if you hear this let us know.
