Introduction This brief post will show that St. Ambrose of Milan did not believe in salvation “by faith alone” as professed by the Reformers, condemned by the Council of Trent, and generally held by most Protestants today. There are two reasons I am focusing on St. Ambrose: 1. He is one of the few Church
According to legend, when Ambrose was an infant, he was left outside one day, slumbering in his cradle in the warm sunlight. Suddenly, a swarm of bees discovered him. They landed on his face and crawled about, right into and out of his tiny open mouth. Then the swarm of bees flew away again—leaving him […]

ADDITIONAL INFO: St. Ambrose Doctor of the Church 337-397 Feast day: December 7 Patronage: Beekeeping Saint Ambrose, an early “Father” and Doctor of the Church, was an educated lawyer and a Roman governor of Milan, with wealth and prestige. In 374 he was elected Bishop by popular demand, even though he was just a catechumen. From that point on he gave his wealth to the poor and for ransom. He learned theology and scripture from St. Simplican. At one point, he even excommunicated Emperor Theodosious. He fought the Arian heresy and pursued sanctity throughout his life. St. Augustine’s conversion is attributed to St. Ambrose’s reasoning and logic. ©Tracy L. Christianson, all rights reserved.

Mosaic of St. Ambrose - Courtesy of Wikipedia Aeterne Rerum Conditor is by the Bishop of Milan, St. Ambrose of Milan (340-397). It is one of just four Ambrosian chants that modern scholars ascribe with certainty to Ambrose. Of the hymns sung in the Church of Milan at that time, St. Augustine of Hippo (354-430) writes in The Confessions: "How greatly did I weep in Your hymns and canticles, deeply moved by the voices of Your sweet-speaking Church! The voices flowed into mine ears, and the truth was poured forth into my heart, whence the agitation of my piety overflowed, and my tears ran over, and blessed was I therein.". In 1632, in accordance with revisions made to the hymns of the Divine Office by Pope Urban VIII (1568-1644) it was changed to Aeterne Rerum Conditor (1632). Both versions are shown below. It is sung at Sunday Lauds in the Roman Breviary. Ambrosian Chant AETERNE RERUM CONDITOR by St. Ambrose 1. Aeterne rerum conditor, noctem diemque qui regis, et temporum das tempora, ut alleves fastidium; 2. Praeco diei iam sonat, noctis profundae pervigil, nocturna lux viantibus a nocte noctem segregans. 3. Hoc excitatus lucifer solvit polum caligine, hoc omnis erronum chorus vias nocendi deserit. 4. Hoc nauta vires colligit pontique mitescunt freta, hoc ipsa petra ecclesiae canente culpam diluit. 5. Surgamus ergo strenue! Gallus iacentes excitat, et somnolentos increpat, Gallus negantes arguit. 6. Gallo canente spes redit, aegris salus refunditur, mucro latronis conditur, lapsis fides revertitur. 7. Iesu, labantes respice, et nos videndo corrige, si respicis, lapsus cadunt, fletuque culpa solvitur. 8. Tu lux refulge sensibus, mentisque somnum discute, te nostra vox primum sonet et ore psallamus tibi. 9. Sit, Christe, Rex piissime, tibi Patrique gloria cum Spiritu Paraclito, in sempiterna saecula. Amen. AETERNE RERUM CONDITOR (1632 Version) 1. Aeterne rerum Conditor, Noctem diemque qui regis, Et temporum das temporã, ut alleves fastidium. 2.
