Patristics or patrology is the study of the early Christian writers who are designated Church Fathers. The names derive from the combined forms of Latin pater and Greek patḗr(father). The period is generally considered to run from the end of New Testament times or end of the Apostolic Age (c. AD 100) to either AD 451 (the date of the Council of Chalcedon)^[1] or to the 8th century Second Council of Nicaea.

The study of the Church Fathers is known as "Patristics".

Works of fathers in early Christianity, prior to Nicene Christianity, were translated into English in a 19th-century collection Ante-Nicene Fathers. Those of the First Council of Nicaea and continuing through the Second Council of Nicea (787) are collected in Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers.

Patriyarka , Patriyarkal 

Ang mga banal na kasulatan ay bumabanggit ng dalawang uri ng patriyarka; (1) isang inordenang katungkulan sa Pagkasaserdoteng Melquisedec, na minsa’y tinatawag na ebanghelista; (2) ama ng mga mag-anak. Nagbibigay ang mga inordenang patriyarka ng mga natatanging pagbabasbas para sa mga karapat-dapat na kasapi ng Simbahan.

Mga inordenang Patriyarka: Pinagkalooban niya ang iba na maging propeta, ang iba’y mga mangangaral, Ef. 4:11 (S ng P 1:6). Tungkulin ng Labindalawa ang mag-orden ng mga mangangaral ng ebanghelyo, D at T 107:39. Maaaring kunin ni Hyrum ang katungkulan ng pagkasaserdote at patriyarka, D at T 124:91–92, 124; 135:1.

AWANA

Awana is an international evangelical nonprofit organization founded in 1950, 

headquartered in Streamwood, Illinois.

derived from the first letters of Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed as taken from 

2 Timothy 2:15

2 Timothy 2:15

“Study to shew thyself 
approved unto God, a workman that Needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 

King James Version (KJV)

AWANA Mission

The mission of Awana is to help "churches and parents worldwide raise children and youth to know, love and serve God.

Awana offers multiple curricula levels from toddlers to senior high-school. In the U.S. and Canada, Awana is split into six age groups: Puggles (2 and 3 yr olds), Cubbies (3 through 5 yr olds or "the 2 years prior to Kindergarten"), Sparks (Kindergarten, Grade 1 & 2), Truth & Training (T&T) (for grades 3, 4, 5 & 6), Trek (Middle School) and Journey (High school). Most recently T&T divided up into Pals (Boys Grade 3 & 4), Chums (Girls Grade 3 & 4), Pioneers (Boys Grade 5 & 6), and Guards (Girls Grade 5 & 6), which changed in the late 1990s. Originally Pals and Chums were Grades 3 to 5 and Pioneers and Guards included Grades 6 to 8. Trek and Journey, which are under the 24/7 Ministries (now, Awana Youth Ministries) banner, were called, respectively, Jr. Varsity and Varsity. Internationally, the age groups offered vary in each country and materials are available in many languages. Awana's prison ministries (Hannah's Gift and Malachi Dads) attend the needs of inmates by providing parental coaching to incarcerated mothers and fathers, respectively. Additionally, Returning Hearts Celebrations reunite children of inmates by sponsoring events in prisons to bring children and their inmate fathers closer together.

Awana Events

Awana missionaries and volunteers run local, state (provincial) and regional competitions between churches' Awana programs. These involve Bible Quizzing, AwanaGames, Sparks-A-Rama, and Awana Grand Prix, their version of wood car racing. High-school age Awana students can also participate in an annual national event called Summit.

Awana missionaries help churches start the Awana ministry, train church leaders how to introduce kids and youth into the Awana program and instruct church leaders at Awana Ministry Conferences on how to better utilize the Awana ministry.

Awana missionaries are completely "faith supported" by donations from churches and individuals, thereby acquiring all of the funds necessary to keep each of their ministries funded in addition to receiving all funds needed for their personal housing and income needs.

The Young Messiah Trailer

The Young Messiah Official Trailer

The inspiring and unique story of seven-year-old Jesus Christ and His family as they come to a fuller understanding of His divine nature and purpose.



The Young Jesus Christ (Adam Greaves-Neal) is portrayed as a seven-year-old boy (before he went AWOL from ages 12 to 30) with an earthly mother, Mary (Sarah Lazzaro), and father, Joseph (Vincent Walsh), who love him. The film dramatizes their struggle as a family to come to terms with the fact that, Jesus is, in fact, the son of God, which must be something for a kid that young to wrap his head around, at the same time they have to contend with angry Romans, including Sean Bean, searching for the Messiah—I’m willing to bet little Jesus wins over Sean Bean in the end.

Verse of the Day

1 Pedro 4:15-16

Huwag nawang mangyaring maparusahan ang sinuman sa inyo dahil siya'y mamamatay-tao, magnanakaw, salarin o pakialamero. 

Ngunit kung kayo'y magdusa dahil sa pagiging Cristiano, huwag ninyong ikahiya ito; sa halip, magpasalamat kayo sa Diyos sapagkat taglay ninyo ang pangalan ni Cristo.

Have a Blessed Sunday

Mga Hebreo 10:24-25

Sikapin din nating gisingin ang damdamin ng bawat isa sa pagmamahal sa kapwa at sa paggawa ng mabuti. 

Huwag nating kaliligtaan ang pagdalo sa ating mga pagtitipon, gaya ng ginagawa ng ilan. Sa halip, palakasin natin ang loob ng isa't isa, lalo na ngayong nakikita nating malapit na ang araw ng Panginoon.

10 ACTUAL Quotes from Albert Einstein

Here are 10 ACTUAL Einstein quotes that really show how brilliant of a man he really was.

1. “Religion and science go together. As I’ve said before, science without religion is lame and religion without science is blind. They are interdependent and have a common goal—the search for truth.”
(from a 1948 interview)

2. “I live in that solitude which is painful in youth, but delicious in the years of maturity.”
(from “Self-Portrait,” 1936)

3. “If A is success in life, then A = x + y + z. Work is x, play is y and z is keeping your mouth shut.”
(said to Samuel Woolf, 1929)

4. “Truth is what stands the test of experience.”
(from “The Laws of Science and the Laws of Ethics,” 1950)

5. “The value of a college education is not the learning of many facts but the training of the mind to think.”
(quoted in the New York Times, 1921)

6. “I believe in one thing—that only a life lived for others is a life worth living.”
(from a 1948 interview)

7. “The world is in greater peril from those who tolerate or encourage evil than from those who actually commit it.” 
(from a tribute to Pablo Casals, 1953)

8. “Why does this magnificent applied science which saves work and makes life easier bring us so little happiness? The simple answer runs: Because we have not yet learned to make sensible use of it.” 
(from a speech to students at the California Institute of Technology, 1931)

9. “Study and, in general, the pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives.” 
(from a letter to Adrianna Enriques, 1921)

10. “Bureaucracy is the death of all sound work.” 

(from The World As I See It, 1949)

Papaya as a Natural Remedy

Benefits of Papayas
Papaya is abundant in vitamin C even though it isn’t a citrus fruit. In fact, papaya packs 144% of the recommended daily intake of this vitamin, which makes it extremely efficient in fighting infections and free radicals, due to the fact that vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant.
This tropical fruit is also a rich source of vitamin A, which is particularly important for skin health and mucous membranes. In fact, vitamin A is most beneficial for improving and maintaining vision health, which makes it a powerful tool in fighting macular degeneration. In addition, papaya packs high amounts of folate, fiber and potassium, which makes it extremely efficient in reducing high blood pressure. Potassium, on the other hand, can successfully control heart rate and even lower the risk of stroke.

Charlie Chaplin: "The Great Dictator" Speech!

The Great Dictator's Speech 

by Charlie Chaplin

(if i not mistaken This speech was made 80yrs ago, correct me if i'm wrong)

I’m sorry, but I don’t want to be an emperor. That’s not my business. I don’t want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone - if possible - Jew, Gentile - black man - white. We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other’s happiness - not by each other’s misery. We don’t want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone. And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way.

Greed has poisoned men’s souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical.

 Our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost....

The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men - cries out for universal brotherhood - for the unity of us all. Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world - millions of despairing men, women, and little children - victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people.

To those who can hear me, I say - do not despair. The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed - the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish. .....

Soldiers! don’t give yourselves to brutes - men who despise you - enslave you - who regiment your lives - tell you what to do - what to think and what to feel! Who drill you - diet you - treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder. Don’t give yourselves to these unnatural men - machine men with machine minds and machine hearts! You are not machines! You are not cattle! You are men! You have the love of humanity in your hearts! You don’t hate! Only the unloved hate - the unloved and the unnatural! Soldiers! Don’t fight for slavery! Fight for liberty!

In the 17th Chapter of St Luke it is written: “the Kingdom of God is within man” - not one man nor a group of men, but in all men! In you! You, the people have the power - the power to create machines. The power to create happiness! You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure.

Then - in the name of democracy - let us use that power - let us all unite. Let us fight for a new world - a decent world that will give men a chance to work - that will give youth a future and old age a security. By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power. But they lie! They do not fulfil that promise. They never will!

Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people! Now let us fight to fulfil that promise! Let us fight to free the world - to do away with national barriers - to do away with greed, with hate and intolerance. Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men’s happiness. Soldiers! in the name of democracy, let us all unite!

present participle: hallowing

synonyms: holy, sacred, consecrated, sanctified, blessed

noun

archaic

noun: hallow; plural noun: hallows

a saint or holy person.

Old English hālgian (verb), hālga (noun), of Germanic origin; related to Dutch and German heiligen, also to holy.

Definition of hallow by Merriam-Webster

HALLOW  hal·low  \ˈha-(ˌ)lō\ 

transitive verb

to make holy or set apart for holy use

to respect greatly : venerate

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Hallows" redirects here. For the surname, see Hallows (surname).

For the Worcestershire village, see Hallow, Worcestershire.

To hallow is "to make holy or sacred, to sanctify or consecrate, to venerate".^[1] The adjective form hallowed, as used in The Lord's Prayer, means holy, consecrated, sacred, or revered.^[2] The noun form hallow, as used in Hallowtide, is a synonym of the wordsaint.^[3][4][5]

"The Feast of All Saints" redirects here. For the 1979 novel by Anne Rice, see The Feast of All Saints (novel).

All Saints' Day, also known as All Hallows, Day of All the Saints,^[3] Solemnity of All Saints,^[4] or Feast of All Saints^[5] is a solemnity celebrated on 1 November by the Roman Catholic Church of Latin rite and various Protestant denominations, and on the first Sunday after Pentecost in Eastern Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy, in honour of all the saints, known and unknown. The liturgical celebration begins at Vespers on the evening of 31 October and ends at the close of 1 November. It is thus the day before All Souls' Day.

 Hallowmas is another term for the feast, and was used by Shakespeare in this sense.^[6][7] However, a few recent writers have applied this term to the three days from 31 October to 2 November inclusive,^[8] as a synonym for the triduum of Hallowtide.^[9]

In Catholic theology, the day commemorates all those who have attained the beatific vision in Heaven. It is a national holidayin many historically Catholic countries. In the Catholic Church and many Anglican churches, the next day specifically commemorates the departed faithful who have not yet been purified and reached Heaven. Christians who celebrate All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day do so in the fundamental belief that there is a prayerful spiritual bond between those in heaven (the "Church triumphant"), and the living (the "Church militant"). Other Christian traditions define, remember and respond to the saints in different ways; for example, in the Methodist Church, the word "saints" refers to all Christians and therefore, on All Saints' Day, the Church Universal, as well as the deceased members of a local congregation, are honored and remembered.^[10]

In the British Isles, it is known that churches were already celebrating All Saints on 1 November at the beginning of the 8th century to coincide or replace the Celtic festival of Samhain.^[11][12][13] James Frazer suggests that 1 November was chosen because it was the date of the Celtic festival of the dead (Samhain) – the Celts had influenced their English neighbours, and English missionaries had influenced the Germans. However, Ronald Hutton points out that, according to Óengus of Tallaght(d. ca. 824), the 7th/8th century church in Ireland celebrated All Saints on 20 April. He suggests that 1 November date was a Germanic rather than a Celtic idea.^[11]
