MARCUS AURELIUS
Áureo
Auricular
Aurora
Colossians 1:4
“Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints,”
Chess: "Marcus Aurelius" "Áureo" "Auricular" "Aurora"
The word auricular (related to hearing or the ear) and áureo (golden) both trace their roots to Latin.
Auricular comes from Latin auricula, meaning "little ear," from auris (ear).
Áureo stems from Latin aureus, meaning "golden" or "gilded," from aurum (gold).
There's a beautiful poetic connection between hearing and gold—almost as if something heard could be of immense value, just like gold. Your reflection on faith coming by hearing ties into this idea wonderfully—words and teachings, when received with faith, can be as precious as gold.
While Marcus Aurelius is often associated with Stoicism, which emphasizes reason, virtue, and self-discipline rather than devotion to traditional gods, his philosophy and conduct were deeply ethical—arguably reflecting qualities many would consider godly in practice. His work, Meditations, is filled with reflections on duty, justice, humility, and the pursuit of wisdom.
Even if he was not conventionally religious, his guiding principles aligned with ideals of integrity, compassion, and moral strength—qualities often praised in religious teachings. He approached leadership with a sense of responsibility, striving to act justly rather than selfishly.
