Saint Anastase d'Antioche
Patriarche (+ 599)
En fait nous commémorons
aujourd'hui deux patriarches d'Antioche (voir aussi Saint
Athanase d'Antioche).
Saint Anastase Ier,
originaire de Palestine qui fut un des ardents défenseurs de l'orthodoxie en
face de l'hérésie monophysite. Il se lia d'amitié avec le Pape saint
Grégoire le Grand qu'il connut lorsque ce dernier était légat du Pape
à Constantinople auprès du Patriarche et ils échangèrent plusieurs lettres où
saint Grégoire soutenait saint Anastase qui connaissait quelque dépit de voir
que le Patriarche de Constantinople voulait prendre le titre de
"patriarche œcuménique."
Souvent confondu avec Anastase le
Sinaïte

Anastasius the Elder
Profile
Patriarch of Antioch in 559.
A learned, austere, pious and quiet man who strictly adhered to orthodox Christianity and
had a knack for comforting the sick and
bereaved. Opposed the heretical ideas
on the Eucharist espoused by Emperor Justinian, and in 570 was exiled for
23 years by Emperor Justino II. Several of his writings have
survived, including some on the theological controversies of the day.

Article
ANASTASIUS (Saint) Bishop
(April 21) (6th century) A Patriarch of Antioch and a resolute opponent of the
Emperor Justinian, whom he rebuked on account of his various errors and
misdeeds. Justinian threatened the Saint with exile and deposition. This menace
was put into execution by Justinian’s nephew and successor, Justin II. Saint
Anastasius was only recalled after twenty-three years of banishment. He died
A.D. 598. This Saint is wrongly styled “the Sinaite” by Baronius. Anastasius
the Sinaite was never a Bishop.

St. Anastasius XI
Feastday: April 21
Death: 599
Patriarch of Antioch,
distinguished for his learning and holiness. Anastasius opposed Emperor
Justinian, who was issuing imperial documents about the faith. Justinian
commanded that Anastasius be exiled but died before the sentence could
be carried out by the court. Justin II, who succeeded his uncle Justinian,
exiled Anastasius five years later. In 593 Anastasius was restored to his see
by Pope St. Gregory the Great.S

St. Anastasius I.,
Patriarch of Antioch
THIS saint, whom
Nicephorus and many moderns confound with the Sinaite, (which last certainly
lived sixty years after the death of the patriarch,) was a man of singular
learning and piety. When any persons in his company spoke of temporal affairs,
he seemed to have neither ears to hear, nor tongue to give any answer,
observing a perpetual silence, as Evagrius reports of him, except when charity
or necessity compelled him to speak. He had an extraordinary talent in
comforting the afflicted. He vigorously opposed the heresy which the emperor
Justinian maintained in his dotage, that the body of Christ during his mortal
life was not liable to corruption and pain; and wrote upon that subject with
propriety, elegance, and choice of sentiments.—The emperor resolved to banish
him, but was prevented by death. However, his successor, Justin the Younger, a
man corrupted in his morals, expelled him from his see; which he recovered
again twenty-three years after, in 593. He held it five years longer, and,
dying in 598, left us several letters and very pious sermons. See Henschenius,
t. 2, Apr. p. 853. Evagr. Hist. l. 4, c. 38, 39, &c

Anastasius I of Antioch B
(RM)
Died 599. This patriarch
of Antioch is often confused with his namesake, "the Sinaite."
Anastasius, a man of singular learning and piety, believed in total detachment
from the temporal world. Evagrius (Eccl. Hist., 1.4, c. 38, 39) reports that he
observed perpetual silence except when charity or necessity compelled him to
speak. Anastasius was particularly adept at comforting the afflicted.
One would think that a
man who did not speak would not get into trouble. Nevertheless, he was a
resolute opponent of the imperial politico-theological rule. He vigorously
opposed Emperor Justinian's heretical insistence that Jesus, during his mortal
life, suffered no pain, i.e., that Christ simply appeared to be a man. For his
opposition, Anastasius was threatened with deposition by Justinian, and
actually banished from his see for 23 years by Justin II. Anastasius was
finally restored to Antioch by Saint Gregory the Great and Emperor Maurice, but
died five years later leaving us a legacy of several letters and pious sermons
(Benedictines, Husenbeth).

St. Anastasius
Bishop of Antioch,
A.D. 559, distinguished for his learning and austerity of life; excited the
enmity of the Emperor
Justinian by opposing certain imperial doctrines about the Body of
Christ. He was to be deposed from
his see and
exiled, when Justinian died; but Justin II carried out his uncles purpose five
years later, and another bishop,
named Gregory, was put in his place; on the death of that prelate in
593, Anastasius was restored to his see.
This was chiefly due to Pope
Gregory the Great, who interceded with the Emperor
Maurice and his son Theodosius, asking that Anastasius be sent
to Rome,
if not reinstated at Antioch. From some letters sent to him by Gregory,
it is thought that he was not sufficiently vigorous in denouncing the claims of
the Patriarch of
Constantinople to be universal bishop.
He died in 598, and another bishop of
the same name is said to have succeeded him in 599, to whom the
translation Gregory's "Regula
Pastoralis" is attributed, and who is recorded as having been put
to death in an insurrection of the Jews. Nicephorus (Hist.
Eccl., XVIII, xliv) (declares that these two are one and the same person.
The same difficulty occurs with regard to certain Sermons de
orthodoxâ fide, some ascribing them to the latter Anastasius; others claiming
that there was but one bishop of
that name.

Den hellige Anastasius I av Antiokia ( -599)
Minnedag: 21.
april
Den hellige Anastasius I
levde i Antiokia i Syria (i dag Antakya i Tyrkia) på slutten av 500-tallet. Han
ble patriark av Antiokia i 559. Patriarken av Antiokia var i Kirkens daværende
hierarki den fjerde høyeste i rang etter biskopen av Roma (paven) og
patriarkene av Konstantinopel og Alexandria. Vår hovedkilde til informasjon om
Anastasius er historikeren Evagrius (ca 536-600), som sier at han var en lærd
og from mann som strengt holdt fast ved ortodoksien. Han var en mann av få ord,
men han hadde den gaven å kunne trøste de hjemsøkte og sørgende.
Anastasius var en fast
motstander av keiserens politisk-teologiske standpunkter om Kristi legeme, og
av denne grunn ble han truet med avsettelse av keiser Justinian (527-65). Men
keiseren døde før han kunne gjøre alvor av trusselen. Men i 570 ble Anastasius
forvist fra sitt bispesete i 23 år av Justinians nevø, keiser Justinos II
(565-78), som var tilhenger av monofysittismen. En biskop ved navn Gregor ble
innsatt i hans sted. Da denne Gregor døde i 593, ble Anastasius gjeninnsatt på
setet av den hellige pave Gregor I den Store (590-603)
og keiser Maurikios (582-602).
Flere av Anastasius'
skrifter er bevart, blant dem fem artikler fra hans kontroversskrifter:
«Treenigheten», «Den guddommelige plan for inkarnasjonen», «Kristi lidelser» og
«Kristi oppstandelse». Det er også bevart et pastoralbrev fra mars 593 til
folket i Antiokia og fire prekener, men bare to av dem kan med sikkerhet
tilskrives ham. I alle disse skriftene har han en klar stil og form for logisk
argumentasjon som skulle influere senere bysantinske teologiske forfattere.
Anastasius døde i 599.
Hans minnedag er 21. april og hans navn står i Martyrologium Romanum. Han
kalles noen ganger Anastasius den Eldre for å skjelne ham fra hans etterfølger,
den hellige Anastasius
II. Han blandes sammen, for eksempel i den tidligere utgaven av
Martyrologium Romanum, med sin navnebror Anastasius av Sinai (d.
ca 700), som har minnedag samme dag.
