Maronite Meditations is a regular podcast harvesting the wealth of the legacy and contemplative tradition of the Maronite, Syriac, Catholic Church, an ancient Eastern church, with the Apostolic succession, which traces its faith back to our Lord himself.

    Episode 57: Antioch, bishops and monks before St John Chrysostom

    The fact that the bishops were successors to the apostles explains why the episcopate did not develop to its fullest inJerusalem. Although St James the Apostle was what we would consider bishop of Jerusalem, St Peter was possibly still alive in the year 66 when the Jewish rebellion broke out. Certainly, St John was still alive, and it is possible that other apostles also lived. Antioch, which had lost its apostles before Rome, was thus the earliest centre for the development of the episcopate known to us. Monasticism owed much to the teachings of Christ and the example of the first Christians in Jerusalem. It appeared not only in Syria but also in Egypt. They were different establishments, but they eventually influenced one another.

    Episode 56: St Theophilus of Antioch

    We examine the deep work of St Theophilus of Antioch, its bishop from about 169 until perhaps 188. He was the first known to have used the term "Trinity". He defended the faith in the only surviving work, a rich volume in three books which shows the profundity of the faith, and the development of its theosophy, theology, and understanding of scripture, and the inspiration of what we now know as the New Testament.

    Episode 55: St Ignatius of Antioch on Unity

    The Christian search for oneness with God is, I believe, at the basis of all which St Ignatius wrote, for what is ONE in heaven, is MANY in this world; but the many do not have to be utterly separated from God. Rather, they can be brought into relation through a hierarchy, a holy rule or state of being. This is where the unity of the Church and its hierarchy comes in: the Church, bishops, priests and deacons mediate between the ONE and the MANY. They share in the characteristics of both.

    Episode 53: The Epistles of St Ignatius of Antioch

    We examine, in a general manner, the seven epistles of St Ignatius of Antioch. These remarkable testaments to the faith were written within 80 to 90 years from the death of the Lord. The last of the apostles, St John, had probably died, but there were people still living who had known them. These letters hit us with the impact of a powerful and sincere faith.

    Episode 52: Christian Identity in Antioch

    It was Antioch where we were first called "Christians." Prior to this, we had been known as followers of "The Way of God" and "The Way of the Lord," showing Jesus (the Lord) was understood as God. Why? What can we draw from this? Finally, we note the critical of St Peter in ancient Antiochian tradition, and the little-known saying that while Christ Himself baptised Peter, St Peter baptised the other apostles.
