In today's Office of Readings we encounter a reading from a homily by St. Melito of Sardis (d. 180 A.D.). He was the bishop of Sardis near Smyrna in western Anatolia, and a great authority in early Christianity. His work, "On the Passover," sets the Last Supper and the Passion in the context of the Jewish Passover and thus relates Christianity to its roots in Judaism. For a reflection, "The Lamb that was slain has delivered us from death and given us life," please click on the image. Peace be with you!
