FEAST OF CYRIL, MONK, AND METHODIUS, BISHOP
Don’t get lost in translation
The ninth-century siblings Cyril and Methodius, known as the Apostles to the Slavic people, were particularly sensitive to helping people use their own language and images to experience God and articulate their faith. Pope Benedict XVI spoke about this gift of theirs in 2009: “Each people should make the revealed message penetrate into their own culture, and express the salvific truth with their own language. This implies a very exacting work of ‘translation,’ as it requires finding adequate terms to propose anew the richness of the revealed Word, without betraying it. The two brother saints have left in this sense a particularly significant testimony that the church continues looking at today to be inspired and guided.” How can you translate God’s Word effectively in your own day and age?TODAY’S READINGS: James 1:12-18; Mark 8:14-21 (336)
“All good giving and every perfect gift is from above.”
