Praying, Introduction to the Fathers
end of the Apostolic Era (ad 100) and the death of Pope Gregory the
Great in the West (d. 604) or of John Damascene in the East (d. 749)
Apostolic Fathers, 2nd – 3rd Century before Constantine
Clement, Ignatius, Polycarp, Justin, Irenaeus
The Golden Age of Patristics, 4th – 5th Century
Cyril of Jerusalem, Cyril of Alexandria, Athanasius, Basil, Gregory of
Nyssa, John Chrysostom, Ephrem, Augustine, Jerome, Ambrose, Hilary,
John Cassian
The Late Patristics, 6th – 7th Century
Gregory the Great, Maximus the Confessor
Triple Test
Quod ubique, quod semper, quod ab omnibus
What was believed everywhere, always, by everybody.
From the Catechism of the Catholic Church
(1177) The hymns and litanies of the Liturgy of the Hours integrate the
prayer of the psalms into the age of the Church, expressing the
symbolism of the time of day, the liturgical season, or the feast being
celebrated. Moreover, the reading from the Word of God at each Hour
(with the subsequent responses or troparia) and readings from the
Fathers and spiritual masters at certain Hours, reveal more deeply the
meaning of the mystery being celebrated, assist in understanding the
psalms, and prepare for silent prayer. The lectio divina, where the Word
of God is so read and meditated that it becomes prayer, is thus rooted in
the liturgical celebration.
