SUMMARY:Vigils Reading - Exaltation of the Holy Cross
DESCRIPTION:THE TRIUMPH OF THE CROSS \nFrom a treatise by St John Chrysostom1 \n◊◊◊ \nIsaiah made it clear that Christ will raise up all men when he said: “The \ndead shall be raised up again\, even those in the tombs shall be raised up. For \nthe dew from you is healing for them.” That was not all. After his cross\, after his \nslaughter\, his glory will shine forth more brightly; after his resurrection\, he will \nadvance the message of his Gospel still more. \nHe was bound\, betrayed by an apostle\, spat upon\, outraged with insults\, \nscourged\, nailed to the cross\, and\, as far as the Jews were concerned\, he did not \ndeserve to be buried in a tomb. His executioners divided his garments. They \nsuspected that he aspired to be a king\, and he died for it. “For everyone who \nmakes himself king\, sets himself against Caesar.” They suspected him of \nblasphemy\, and he died for it. “Behold\, you have heard his blasphemy.” \nEven though he would undergo all these torments\, he roused up those \nwho would listen\, he stirred them to courage by saying: “Do not be afraid \nbecause of these things which they did to me. I was crucified\, I was scourged\, I \nwas outraged and insulted by robbers\, I was arrested on suspicion of blasphemy \nand of being a king. But after my death and resurrection\, people will look on my \nsufferings in such a way that no one will say that they were not filled with \nabundant value and honor.” \nCertainly\, this did come to pass. And a prophet predicted it long \nbeforehand when he said: “There shall be the root of Jesse\, even he who rises \nup to rule nations. In him nations will put their trust\, and his resting place shall \nbe glorious.” This kind of death is more glorious than a crown. Certainly\, kings \nhave laid aside their crowns and taken up the cross\, the symbol of his death. On15 \ntheir purple robes is the cross\, on their crowns is the cross\, at their public \nprayers is the cross\, on their weapons is the cross\, on the sacred table of their \naltar is the cross. Everywhere in the world\, the cross shines forth more brightly \nthan the sun. “And his resting place shall be glorious.”
