In the Name of the Lord - 1

   " Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord! "

   John 12:13  NKJV

The Son of God was made the Son of God for our express salvation.

Nine months He waited in his mother's womb...
He who encloses the entire world in His fist was to be contained in the narrow walls of a manger...
When He was whipped, He remained calm.
When He was crusified, He prayed for His crucifies...
The only fitting thing that we can make toward Him is to give blood for blood.
Because we were all redeemed by the blood of Christ, we should gladly desire to lay down our lives for our Redeemer.

What saints have ever won their Eternal Crowns of Glory without competing first?
You will find that all Holy People have suffered persecution...

Which is best - to fight for a short time, to carry stakes for the stockade, to bear arms, and to faint under heavy battles in order to rejoice as victors forever, or to just become slaves forever because we could not endure for a single hour?

 By Jerome :

( 347 – 30 September 420) was a presbyter, confessor, theologian and historian. He was the son of Eusebius, born at Stridon, a village near Emona on the border of Dalmatia and Pannonia, then part of northeastern Italy.^[1][2][3] He is best known for his translation of most of the Bible into Latin (the translation that became known as the Vulgate), and his commentaries on the Gospels. His list of writings is extensive.^[4]

The protégé of Pope Damasus I, who died in December of 384, Jerome was known for his teachings on Christian moral life, especially to those living in cosmopolitan centers such as Rome. In many cases, he focused his attention to the lives of women and identified how a woman devoted to Jesus should live her life. This focus stemmed from his close patron relationships with several prominent female ascetics who were members of affluent senatorial families.^[5]

He is recognised as a Saint and Doctor of the Church by the Roman Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Lutheran Church, and the Anglican Communion.^[6] His feast day is 30 September.
