Syrus Of Pavia
Saint Syrus (Sirus) of Pavia ( it, San Siro) is traditionally said to have been the first bishop of Pavia during the 1st century. His legend, according to the 14th century source known as the '' De laudibus Papiæ'' (''In the Praise of Pavia''), states that Syrus was the boy with the five loaves who appears in the Gospels. As Hippolyte Delehaye writes, "To have lived amongst the Saviour's immediate following was...honorable...and accordingly old patrons of churches were identified with certain persons in the gospels or who were supposed to have had some part of Christ's life on earth." Syrus is said to have followed Saint Peter to Rome and from there he was sent to the Po valley to preach and convert the people to the Christian faith. He preached in all of the major cities of northern Italy. Another tradition, dating back to the 8th century, makes Syrus a disciple of Saint Hermagoras, who in turn was the disciple of Mark the Evangelist. Hermagoras was the founder of the dio ...

Capriano Del Colle
Bible: Temptations of kings — and Jesus The connection between the passages from 1 Kings in our previous lesson and Jesus’ temptations in the wilderness might not be obvious. But what if we reflect on the meaning of the title used of Jesus in Matt. 4:1-11 — “Son of God”? Ted Grimsrud Grimsrud In the Old Testament, “Son of God” is used of Israel’s king, particularly Solomon’s father, King David (for example, 1 Sam. 7:14). Let’s think of Jesus’ temptation as being about his role as the leader of the kingdom of God — a latter-day David or Solomon. When John the Baptist baptized Jesus (Matt. 3:16-17), we may see the event as a kind of anointing for Jesus as he begins his ministry. The Holy Spirit descends like a dove upon Jesus, who then is identified as God’s Son, and right away the Spirit leads Jesus to the wilderness. After his 40-day fast, Jesus confronts Satan, whose main question is not whether Jesus is God’s Son. What is at issue is what kind of God ...
