On Friday of the Third Week of Easter, a reading from a sermon by Saint Ephrem, deacon.
Saint Ephrem, also known as Ephrem of Syria, was born around the year 306 in the city of Nisibis (modern day Nusaybin, Turkey). In those days religious culture in the region, included polytheism, Judaism, and several varieties of early Christianity. Saint Ephraim was a prominent Christian theologian and writer who is revered as one of the most notable hymnographers of Eastern Christianity. He had a prolific pen and his writings best illumine his holiness. Although he was not a man of great scholarship, his works reflect deep insight and knowledge of the Scriptures. In writing about the mysteries of humanity’s redemption, Saint Ephrem reveals a realistic and humanly sympathetic spirit and a great devotion to the humanity of Jesus.
Saint Ephrem was ordained a deacon but declined becoming a priest. He was said to have avoided presbyteral consecration by feigning madness. Saint Ephraim is venerated as a saint by all traditional Churches. He was declared a Doctor of the Roman Catholic Church in 1920.
