THE ERROR OF ARIUS ABOUT THE INCARNATION

In their eagerness to proclaim the unity of God and man in Christ, some heretics went to the opposite extreme and taught that not only was there one person, but also a single nature, in God and man. This error took its rise from Arius. To defend his position that those scriptural passages where Christ is represented as being inferior to the Father, must refer to the Son of God Himself, regarded in His assuming nature, Arius taught that in Christ there is no other soul than the Word of God who, he maintained, took the place of the soul in Christ’s body. Thus when Christ says, in John 14:28, “The Father is greater than I,” or when He is introduced as praying or as being sad, such matters are to be referred to the very nature of the Son of God. If this were so, the union of God’s Son with man would be effected not only in the person, but also in the nature. For, as we know, the unity of human nature arises from the union of soul and body.

RESTORATION OF MAN BY GOD THROUGH THE INCARNATION

We indicated above that the reparation of human nature could not be effected either by Adam or by any other purely human being. For no individual man ever occupied a position of pre-eminence over the whole of nature; nor can any mere man be the cause of grace. The same reasoning shows that not even an angel could be the author of man’s restoration. An angel cannot be the cause of grace, just as he cannot be man’s recompense with regard to the ultimate perfection of beatitude, to which man was to be recalled. In this matter of beatitude angels and men are on a footing of equality. Nothing remains, therefore, but that such restoration could be effected by God alone.

But if God had decided to restore man solely by an act of His will and power, the order of divine justice would not have been observed. justice demands satisfaction for sin. But God cannot render satisfaction, just as He cannot merit. Such a service pertains to one who ...

⚔️ St. Michael's Lent: A 40-Day Program for Women

St. Michael's Lent belongs to the whole Church — not just to men, not just to Franciscans. Women are called to spiritual warfare just as surely as men are, and the model for this season is not only St. Michael the warrior, but Our Lady — who stands clothed with the sun, the moon beneath her feet, crowned with twelve stars, standing against the dragon (Rev. 12:1). She is the queen of every battle. This program is built for women who want to enter these 40 days with intention, depth, and sisterhood.

🏛️ THE FOUNDATION: What This Season Is

St. Michael's Lent is a 40-day period of prayer and penance that begins on the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary (August 15) and ends on the Feast of the Holy Archangels: St. Michael, St. Gabriel, and St. Raphael (September 29). This time of devotion is an opportunity for the faithful to renew their faith and grow in union with God.

For women, this season carries a uniquely beautiful spiritual logic: it opens on the greatest Marian feast of the liturgical year — the day Our Lady was taken body and ...

⚔️ St. Michael's Lent: A 40-Day Program for Men

This is a program built on three ancient pillars —

Prayer, Fasting, and Fraternity —
the same disciplines St. Francis of Assisi carried up Mount La Verna in 1224. It is designed for men who want to enter this season with structure, brotherhood, and spiritual seriousness.

🏛️ THE FOUNDATION:
What This Season Is

Starting on August 15th and ending on the Feast of the Archangel Michael (September 29th), this 40-day spiritual exercise asks men to commit to living a more simplified lifestyle — void of the noise of the world, and instead more in tune with a conversation with the Lord.

"St. Michael is the guardian angel of God's people and stands as an excellent model for the life of faith — especially for Christian men." He is the warrior archangel who models exactly what manhood in Christ looks like: fierce in battle, humble before God, unwavering in mission.

🙏 PILLAR ONE: PRAYER

A man's prayer life during St. Michael's Lent should be daily, structured, and anchored to both Our Lady and the angels.

• Morning Prayer ...
