SUMMARY:Resurrection of the Lord
DESCRIPTION:HIS ASCENSION INTO HEAVEN\nBy St Leo the Great 1\n◊◊◊\nThe sacred work of our salvation was of such great value in the sight of\nthe Creator of the universe that he counted it worth the shedding of his own\nblood. From the day of his birth until his passion and death this work was\ncarried out in conditions of self-abasement; and although he showed many\nsigns of his divinity even when he bore the form of a slave\, yet strictly speaking\,\nthe events of that time were concerned with proving the reality of the humanity\nhe had assumed. But he was innocent of any sin\, and so when death launched\nits attack upon him he burst its bonds and robbed it of its power. After his\npassion weakness was turned into strength\, mortality into eternal life\, and\ndisgrace into glory. Of all this Lord Jesus Christ gave ample proof in the sight of\nmany\, until at last he entered heaven in triumph. bearing with him the trophy\nof his victory over death. \nAnd so while at Easter it was the Lord’s resurrection which was the cause\nof our joy\, our present rejoicing is on account of his ascension into heaven. With\nall due solemnity we are commemorating that day on which our poor human\nnature was carried up in Christ above all the hosts of heaven\, above all the ranks\nof angels\, beyond the highest heavenly powers to the very throne of God the\nFather. It is upon this ordered structure of divine acts that we have been firmly\nestablished\, so that the grace of God may show itself still more marvelous when\,\nin spite of the withdrawal from our sight of everything that is rightly felt to\ncommand our reverence\, faith does not fail\, hope is not shaken\, charity does not\ngrow cold. \nFor such is the power of great minds\, such is the light of truly believing\nsouls\, that they put unhesitating faith in what is not seen with the bodily eye;\nthey fix their desires on what is beyond sight. Such fidelity could never be borne\nin our hearts\, nor could anyone be justified by faith if our salvation lay only in\nwhat is visible. That is why Christ said to the man who seemed doubtful about\nhis resurrection unless he could see and touch the marks of his passion in his\nvery flesh: you believe because you see me; blessed are those who have not seen\nand yet believe. \nIt was in order that we might be capable of such blessedness that on the\nfortieth day after his resurrection\, after he had made careful provision for\neverything concerning the preaching of the gospel and the mysteries of the new\ncovenant\, our Lord Jesus Christ was taken up to heaven before the eyes of his\ndisciples\, and so his bodily presence among them came to an end. From that\ntime onward he was to remain at the Father’s right hand until the completion\nof the period ordained by God for the Church’s children to increase and\nmultiply\, after which\, in the same body with which he ascended\, he will come\nagain to judge the living and the dead. \nAnd so our Redeemer’s visible presence has passed into the sacraments.\nOur faith is nobler and stronger because sight has been replaced by a doctrine\nwhose authority is accepted by believing hearts\, enlightened from on high. \n1\nJourney with the Fathers – Year B – New City Press – 1999 = pg 60.
