SUMMARY:Vigils Reading - 20th Sunday ORD
DESCRIPTION:REAL FOOD \nAND REAL DRINK \nFrom a commentary by Theophylact of Ohrid1 \n◊◊◊ \nWe have heard that unless we eat the flesh of the Son we shall not have \nlife. We must have unwavering faith\, then\, when we partake of the sacred \nmysteries\, and not inquire “How?” Unspiritual people\, that is\, those led by a \nnatural way of thinking\, are not open to spiritual realities surpassing the natural \norder\, and so lack understanding of the spiritual nourishment the Lord’s flesh \naffords. \nThose who do not share this flesh do not share in eternal life because they \nreject Jesus the true life. What is consumed is the flesh not merely of a man but \nof God\, and being one with the Godhead\, it has power to deify. This is real \nnourishment: its sustaining power does not last only for a time; it does not \ndecompose like perishable food. But helps us to attain everlasting life. \nLikewise\, the cup of the Lord’s blood is real drink\, for it does not quench our \nthirst only for a time\, but keeps those who drink it free from thirst forever\, as \nthe Lord said to the Samaritan woman: Whoever drinks the water that I shall \ngive will never thirst again. Whoever receives the grace of the Holy Spirit by \nsharing in the mysteries will never suffer from spiritual hunger and thirst the \nway unbelievers do. \nThose who eat my flesh and drink my blood\, live in me and I in them. As \nI draw life from the living Father who sent me\, so whoever eats me will draw \nlife from me. From these words we can begin to understand the mystery of \ncommunion. Those who eat and drink the Lord’s flesh and blood lives in the \nLord and the Lord lives in them. A marvelous and inexplicable union occurs by \nwhich God is in us\, and we are in God. Does this not fill you with awe as you \nlisten? \nIt is not God alone that we eat\, for he is intangible and incorporeal; he can \nbe apprehended neither by our eyes nor by our teeth; nor\, on the other hand\, is \nit simply the flesh of a man\, which would avail us nothing. Rather\, in a union \ndefying explanation\, God has made flesh one with himself\, so that the flesh now \nhas life-giving power. This not because its nature is changed into the nature of \nGod. Of course not! A comparison may be made with iron put into fire. It \nremains iron but displays the energy of fire. So also\, the Lord’s flesh remains \nflesh\, but it has the life-giving power because it is the flesh of the Word of God. \nAnd so\, Christ says\, As I draw life from the Father\, or in other words\, as \nI was born of the Father who is life\, so those who eat me will draw life from me\, \nbecause they will be united to me and\, as it were\, transformed into me\, who am \npossessed of life-giving power.
