SUMMARY:Vigils Reading -  23rd Sunday
DESCRIPTION:CHRIST HAS DONE \nALL THINGS WELL \nFrom a commentary by St Lawrence of Brandisi1 \n◊◊◊ \nJust as the divine law says that when God created the world\, he saw all \nthat he had made and it was very good\, so the gospel\, speaking of our \nredemption and re-creation\, affirms: He has done all things well. A good tree \nbears good fruit; no good tree can bear bad fruit. As fire can give out nothing \nbut heat and is incapable of giving out cold; and as the sun gives out nothing \nbut light and is incapable of giving out darkness\, so God is incapable of doing \nanything but good\, for He is infinite goodness and light. He is a sun giving out \nendless light\, a fire producing endless warmth. He has done all things well. \nAnd so today we must wholeheartedly unite with that holy throng in \nsaying: He has done all things well. He has made the deaf hear and the dumb \nspeak. Like Balaam’s ass. This crowd certainly spoke under the inspiration of \nthe Holy Spirit who said through its mouth: He has done all things well; in other \nwords\, he is truly God\, because making the deaf hear and the dumb speak are \nthings that only God can do. There is a transition here from the particular to the \ngeneral. This man has worked a miracle that only God could work; therefore\, he \nis God. Who has done all things well. \nHe has done all things well. The law says that all God did was good; the \ngospel says that he has done all things well. Doing a good deed is not quite the \nsame as doing it well. Many do good deeds but fail to do them well. The deeds \nof hypocrites\, for example\, are good\, but they are done in the wrong spirit\, with \na perverse and defective intention. Everything God does\, however\, is not only \ngood\, but done well. The Lord is just in all his ways and holy in all his deeds.3 \nWith wisdom you have done them all: that is to say\, most wisely and well. So\, \nhe has done all things well\, they say. \nNow if God has done all his good works and done them well for our sake\, \nknowing that we take pleasure in goodness\, why I ask do we not endeavor to \nmake our works good and to do them well\, knowing that such works are pleasing \nto God? \nIf you ask what we should do in order to enjoy the divine blessings forever\, \nI will tell you in a word. Since the Church is called the bride of Christ and of \nGod\, we must do what a good wife does for her husband. Then God will treat us \nas a good husband treats a dearly loved wife. This is what the Lord says through \nHosea: I will betroth you to myself with justice and integrity\, with tenderness \nand compassion; I will betroth you to myself with faithfulness\, and you shall \nknow that I am the Lord. So even in this present life we shall be happy\, this \nworld will be an earthly paradise for us\, with the Hebrews we shall feast on \nheavenly manna in the desert of this life\, if only we follow Christ’s example by \nstriving to do everything well\, so that he has done all things well may be said of \neach one of us.
