  • Our Lord's Tears and St Catherine's

  • Paul Hinnebusch, O.P.
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    30 August 2024, pp. 95-100

  • Jesus, in the days of his earthly life, with a loud cry and tears, offered up prayers and supplications to him who was able to save him from death, and was heard because of his reverent submission'. (Heb. 5. 7). Thus writes St Paul of the prayer and agony of Christ in the garden.

    Notice that St Paul does not say that Jesus prayed to be saved from death. but to ‘him who was able to save him from death'. For what, then, did he pray, if not to be saved from death; St Catherine of Siena gives an answer to this question which at first surprised her spiritual director, Blessed Raymond of Capua. But after hearing Catherine's further explanation, Raymond could say only: ‘I kept silent, and simply admired the grace and wisdom she had received from God'. (Raymond of Capua, St Catherine of Siena New York: p. 147).

Research Article

  • Saint Hilary

  • Suzanne, O.S.B.
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    30 August 2024, pp. 100-105

  • St Irenaeus, with whom Hilary of Poitiers has much in common, says: ‘No doubt there are many tongues spoken throughout the world, but the strength of tradition is one and the same … for as one and the same sun, created by God, shines throughout the world, so the light of truth shines everywhere, enlightening all who wish to know it'. St Hilary is one of the first saints in the calendar on January 14th, perhaps because his very name is in keeping with the joy of that season of the year, reflected from the coming of Christ anew each Christmas.

    He can be a model for Christians of whatever kind. He was a married Man, yet his life was as austere as a monk's. He was a bishop and champion of truth, an exile and refugee, a writer and theologian; active all his life, yet deeply contemplative.
