SUMMARY:Saint Peter Chrysologus
DESCRIPTION:Saint Peter Chrysologus\nSaint of the Day for July 30\n(c. 406 – c. 450)v\nhttps://www.franciscanmedia.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/SODJul30.mp3\nSaint Peter Chrysologus’ Story\nA man who vigorously pursues a goal may produce results far beyond his expectations and his intentions. Thus it was with Peter “of the Golden Words\,” as he was called\, who as a young man became bishop of Ravenna\, the capital of the empire in the West. \nAt the time there were abuses and vestiges of paganism evident in his diocese\, and these Peter was determined to battle and overcome. His principal weapon was the short sermon\, and many of them have come down to us. They do not contain great originality of thought. They are\, however\, full of moral applications\, sound in doctrine\, and historically significant in that they reveal Christian life in fifth-century Ravenna. So authentic were the contents of his sermons that some 13 centuries later\, he was declared a doctor of the Church by Pope Benedict XIII. He who had earnestly sought to teach and motivate his own flock was recognized as a teacher of the universal Church. \nIn addition to his zeal in the exercise of his office\, Peter Chrysologus was distinguished by a fierce loyalty to the Church\, not only in its teaching\, but in its authority as well. He looked upon learning not as a mere opportunity but as an obligation for all\, both as a development of God-given faculties and as a solid support for the worship of God. \nSome time before his death around A.D. 450\, Saint Peter Chrysologus returned to his birthplace of Imola\, in northern Italy. \n\nReflection\nQuite likely\, it was Saint Peter Chrysologus’ attitude toward learning that gave substance to his exhortations. Next to virtue\, learning\, in his view\, was the greatest improvement to the human mind and the support of true religion. Ignorance is not a virtue\, nor is anti-intellectualism. Knowledge is neither more nor less a source of pride than physical\, administrative\, or financial prowess. To be fully human is to expand our knowledge—whether sacred or secular—according to our talent and opportunity.
