Cornelius a'Lapide's Commentary on:
St. Paul's Epistle to Titus, 
St. Paul's Epistle to Philemon
St. Paul's Epistle to Hebrews

Hebrews is one of Saint Paul's most important epistles and is theologically complex. Even though he was the Apostle to the Gentiles, he penned this for his Hebrew Christians in order to strengthen their knowledge and resolve in the face of persecution from their fellow unconverted Hebrews.

Titus was of Gentile and Greek descent on both sides and, if we are to believe Chrysostom in his first homily, came from Corinth. Hence the Apostle, writing the second time to the Corinthians, repeatedly mentions Titus, and used him as an administrator among his own people for collecting alms and other church matters. This Titus, having been converted to Christ and baptized by Paul, was one of his disciples. And he was an outstanding helper and interpreter in Paul’s preaching. Hence in 2 Corinthians 12:13 Paul calls Titus his brother.

Philemon, not a Jew but a Gentile, was a citizen of Colossus, a nobleman among his people, a remarkable man by his life, morals, and profession of the Christian faith. His house in Colossus still stood intact at the time of Theodoret, as he relates, and likewise that it started to be a church in S. Paul’s time, so that Paul might congregate the faithful there. Thus also, Archippus, the Bishop of the Colossians, lived there, as Paul implies in verse 2. this house, now dedicated to God as a Church, remained for many centuries.

Paul wrote this epistle in chains in Rome before the year 60 A.D., although he now hoped to be liberated from them shortly, as is clear from verse 22. He sent this Epistle through Onesimus himself together with the Epistle to the Colossians.

Hebrews
Paul here proposes and proves to the Hebrews: First, the divinity and dignity of Christ; Second, that his priesthood, i.e., Christ’s once-and-for-all sacrifice on the cross foreshadowed by all the old sacrifices, was alone sufficient to accomplish the redemption of us all; Third, he shows that Christ’s office was to be the expiator of all sins by His own blood, our redeemer, mediator, and pontiff who opens the gates of Heaven; Fourth, he shows the difference of the New Testament and its superiority over the Old; Fifth, he consoles those who were despoiled as apostates and harassed in various ways by the Jewish authorities, with the permission of their Roman overlords, on account of their faith in Christ and their defection from the law of Moses. Indeed, if we are to believe S. Chrysostom, the purpose of the entire Epistle is to console and strengthen these same Christians. Finally, as was Paul’s custom, he concludes the Epistle with moral instruction and ethical precepts.

My Meditations on Saint Paul
by Father James Sullivan

With My Meditations on Saint Paul, follow in the missionary footsteps of Saint Paul from Damascus to Rome. Father James Sullivan begins each daily devotional with a scene from Acts of the Apostles or the Epistles of Saint Paul. Filled with rich historical and personal details describing the thoughts and feelings that a disciple must have experienced, Sullivan places you in the midst of the early Christians who heard the words of Saint Paul.

This pocket-sized devotional gives you everything you need to walk with and learn at the feet of the Saint Paul, including:

• Intimate, personal reflections on the words and acts of Saint Paul
• Heartfelt prayers, echoing the same prayers and petitions of the great convert and evangelizer
• Detailed maps chronicling Saint Paul's extensive missionary journeys (p. 557-560)
• A timeline of St. Paul's life both before and after his dramatic conversion (p. 563-564) 
• And much more...

After Christ's death and resurrection, Paul became the first Apostle to preach His Good News to non-Jews (Gentiles). This is generally considered the most decisive moment in Church history and Saint Paul was at the center of that moment.

Now, you can travel with Saint Paul on his missionary tours, learn at his feet, and discover how to bring the teachings of Christ to your world.
