Is Technology Harming Causing Violence in Kids?

Date – Friday, October 27th, 2023 – King St. Kaleb
1. **6th Century Ethiopia:** Ethiopia was ruled by King St. Kaleb or Elesbaan, who was raised in the Catholic Faith from childhood and ruled his country wisely and justly.
2. **Persecution by King Dunaan:** Across the Red Sea, Arabia was ruled by King Dunaan, who apostatized from the Catholic Faith and persecuted the Bishops, clergy, and Catholics, destroying churches and killing thousands without trial.
3. **Request for Assistance:** Emperor Justinian I of the Eastern Roman Empire called on King Elesbaan to punish Dunaan and end the persecution.
4. **Crusade Against Dunaan:** King Elesbaan gathered his army, crossed the Red Sea, defeated Dunaan, executed him, restored the Bishop to his diocese, and rebuilt the churches in Arabia.
5. **Return to Ethiopia:** After accomplishing his mission, King Elesbaan returned to Ethiopia and continued to rule wisely, instructing his son in the Catholic Faith and governance.
6. **Renunciation of Kingship:** King Elesbaan later renounced his title and became a hermit, retiring to a monastery in the mountains.
7. **Life as a Hermit:** Disguised as a hermit, he lived a life dedicated to prayer, obedience, and work in solitude.
8. **Death:** He died with a reputation of sanctity on October 27, 532, and is often depicted as a solitary hermit holding a cross with a crown at his feet.
Three vital lessons emerge:
Firstly, it's a misconception in the West that Eastern peoples aren't destined for the Catholic Church. The Church's presence in Ethiopia long predates Western discoveries and crusades. This highlights that all nations have a calling to the Catholic Church, and faithfulness hinges solely on divine grace.
Secondly, St. Elesbaan's story underscores the significance of solitude. He relinquished his throne, glory, and comforts, opting for a hermit's life in the desert, leaving a lasting mark in Church history.
Thirdly, St. Elesbaan exemplifies the rich cultural contribution of the black race. It's crucial to understand their vocation beyond mere material pursuits, appreciating figures like the black Magi King Balthazar, symbolizing spiritual elevation. Despite being a royal warrior, St. Elesbaan's recognition remains underrated, possibly due to biases favoring sentimental piety over his royal and militant legacy. Efforts should challenge this skewed perspective.
King St. Kaleb, pray for us!
