   Deuteronomy 15   
      
   "7 If one of thy brethren that dwelleth within the gates of thy city in   
   the land which the Lord thy God will give thee, come to poverty: thou   
   shalt not harden thy heart, nor close thy hand, 8 But shalt open it to   
   the poor man, thou shalt lend him, that which thou perceivest he hath   
   need of. 9 Beware lest perhaps a wicked thought steal in upon thee, and   
   thou say in thy heart: The seventh year of remission draweth nigh; and   
   thou turn away thy eyes from thy poor brother, denying to lend him that   
   which he asketh: lest he cry against thee to the Lord, and it become a   
   sin unto thee. 10 But thou shalt give to him: neither shalt thou do any   
   thing craftily in relieving his necessities: that the Lord thy God may   
   bless thee at all times, and in all things to which thou shalt put thy   
   hand. 11 There will not be wanting poor in the land of thy habitation:   
   therefore I command thee to open thy hand to thy needy and poor brother,   
   that liveth in the land."

   >> December 20th - Saint Philogonius, Bishop of Antioch   
   >> (d. 322)   
   >>   
   >> Saint Philogonius, born in Antioch in the third century, was educated   
   >> for the law and appeared at the bar with great success. He was admired   
   >> for his eloquence, but still more for his integrity and the sanctity   
   >> of his life. This was considered a sufficient motive for dispensing   
   >> with the canons which require that time be spent as a priest, before a   
   >> layman can be placed in the higher echelons of the Church’s hierarchy.   
   >> By this dispensation Saint Philogonius was chosen to be placed at the   
   >> head of the see of Antioch, following the death of its bishop in 318.   
   >>   
   >> When Arius introduced his blasphemies in Alexandria in that same year   
   >> of 318, Saint Alexander, Patriarch of Alexandria, condemned him and   
   >> communicated the sentence in a synodal letter to Philogonius.   
   >> Afterwards the bishop of Antioch strenuously defended the Catholic   
   >> faith before the assembly of the Council of Nicea. In the storms which   
   >> raged against the Church, caused first by the Roman emperor Maximin II   
   >> and the Oriental emperor Licinius, Saint Philogonius earned the title   
   >> of Confessor by his sufferings. He died in the year 322, the fifth of   
   >> his episcopal dignity. We possess an excellent panegyric in his honor,   
   >> composed by Saint John Chrysostom.   
   >>   
   >> Chrysostom speaks in moving terms of the peace which this saint now   
   >> enjoys in a state where there are no conflicts, no insurgent passions,   
   >> no more of “those icy words, ‘mine ‘ and ‘yours’,” which fill   
   the   
   >> world with wars, families with quarrels, and individuals with   
   >> disquiet, envy and malice. St. Philogonius had so renounced the world   
   >> that he received in this life the earnest of Christ’s spirit in its   
   >> fullest degree. A soul must here learn that spirit and state of the   
   >> blessed if she hopes to reign with them hereafter: she must have some   
   >> acquaintance beforehand with the mysteries of grace and the works of   
   >> love and praise. People are not invited to consort even with a   
   >> temporal king, as St. Macarius says, until they have been instructed   
   >> in the manners and customs of a court, so that they may not come to it   
   >> in complete ignorance of its ways.   
   >>   
   >> Here again all the information we possess comes from a single source,   
   >> a sermon of St. John Chrysostom. The text is printed in Migne, PG.,   
   >> vol. xlviii, pp. 747-756. On the degree of credit which attaches to   
   >> the evidence of such panegyrics see the warnings given by Delehaye in   
   >> his book Les Passions des Martyrs et les Genres littéraires (1921),   
   >> ch. ii, pp. 183-235.   
   >>   
   >> Reflection: Saint Philogonius had so perfectly renounced the world and   
   >> crucified its inordinate desires in his heart, that he received in   
   >> this life the gage of Christ’s Spirit, and was admitted to the sacred   
   >> council of the heavenly King with unhindered access to the Almighty.   
   >> Let us imitate his zeal for the glory of God and the Church, to share   
   >> his reward. (Rev. Alban Butler)
