SUMMARY:Easter Weekday
DESCRIPTION:HOW SHE SAW JESUS STANDING AT THE RIGHT HAND\nOF THE POWER OF GOD\nFrom the “The Life of Beatrice of Nazareth”7\n◊◊◊ \n…It happened that the adversary of the human race\, with all the vices\nassembled in their bands\, rushed in upon her ready to fight\, and cruelly attacked\nher valiant heart with as many assaults of temptation as there are different kinds\nof vices. Christ’s soldier\, seeing herself in the midst of the sea\, rocked and\noverwhelmed by stormy waves\, and harassed on all sides with heavy storms and\nweighty struggles\, began to waste away\, unnerved by great fear… She did not\nfear single combat with any one of them\, if it reared up alone\, but with all of them\nrushing in together and each of them exercising its own wicked activity\, such a\nneed for resistance on all sides arose that\, her strength worn out and confidence\nall but collapsing\, she nearly despaired of God’s mercy. \nBeatrice\, seeing that faith and hope\, that most constant of virtues\, were\nalmost on the point of perishing within her\, and that no virtue remained with\nwhich to defend herself in such a crisis\, no longer presumed to enter such a\nstruggle; grief-stricken and worn-out she prepared herself\, and rising up fled\nquickly to the church\, and with a great storm of tears\, with bitter groans\, sighs\,\nand weeping she besought the divine clemency to have mercy on her in such a\ndangerous crisis… \nWhen Beatrice had poured… forth… the great bitterness of her heart\, she\nquickly fled to the solace of prayer\, and she called upon the divine mercy… The\nloving and merciful Lord\, who never deserts those who trust in his mercy\, who is\nclose to the troubled of heart and always saves the humble in spirit… did not\nrefuse to turn the eyes of his mercy on his chosen spouse in the time of her need.\nRegarding his faithful fighter and understanding that she was laboring in a\nweighty struggle\, he put forth his merciful hand to console her\, and putting to\nflight the insults of the demonic powers and all the troubles caused by the vices\,\nhe with his unspeakable kindness and mercy called her back into the harbor of\ntranquility. \n…She was caught up beyond herself and saw in ecstasy of mind – with the\neyes of the mind\, not of the flesh\, – the heavens opened and Jesus standing at the\nright hand of the power of God\, prepared to help her\, leaning over mercifully\ntoward her to raise her up\, console\, and snatch her from the attacks of the\nopposing powers. When the Lord’s virgin… had gazed on him with longing eyes\,\nshe perceived two things\, mercy and love\, radiating from him toward her\, and\nimmediately with an enlightened mind she recognized what they meant. In the\nray of mercy she saw\, she deserved to be rebuked by the Lord for being so\ndisturbed in the struggle\, so weighed down with fear and sorrow… In the ray of\nlove she recognized clearly that the Lord was propitious and merciful toward\nher\, that his kindness was helping her\, not beating her down or casting her off\nfrom the divine mercy… but rather exalting her\, raising her up and lifting her to\nthe summit of the virtues. \n…She gave thanks to Almighty God with exultation of heart… recognizing\nclearly the divine mercy toward her… With the Lord’s help she henceforth\nremained stronger in faith\, more constant in hope\, more valiant in tribulation\,\nand more spiritual against the opposing powers. \n7 The Life of Beatrice of Nazareth. CF 50. Trans. Roger De Ganck. Kalamazoo\, MI:\nCistercian Publications\, 1991. 175\, 177\, 179.
