SUMMARY:Vigils Reading - 26th Sunday
DESCRIPTION:THE WORD OF GOD IS LIKE \nA TWO-EDGED SWORD \nFrom a commentary by Symeon the New Theologian1 \n◊◊◊ \nDo you tremble when you hear God saying to you day after day \nthroughout the whole of divine Scripture: “Let no evil word come from your \nmouth. Indeed\, I tell you that you will have to answer for a single careless \nword\, and you will receive a reward for a cup of water”? \nDo not deceive yourselves. God loves us\, and he is merciful and \ncompassionate. I myself testify and acknowledge that it is his compassion that \nmakes me confident of being saved. Nevertheless\, you must understand that \nthis will be of no avail to those who refuse to repent and to keep God’s \ncommandments in every detail and with great fear. On the contrary\, God will \npunish them more severely than people who are unbelievers and unbaptized. \nDo not deceive yourselves\, let there be no sin that seems small in your \neyes\, and that you treat lightly\, as though it did no great harm to your souls. \nRight-minded servants make no distinction between a small sin and a great one; \nif they offend by so much as a glance\, a thought\, or a word\, they feel as if they \nhave fallen away from the love of God\, and I believe this is true. In fact\, whoever \nhas the slightest thought contrary to the divine will\, and does not immediately \nrepent and repel the assault of such a thought\, but welcomes it and consents to \nit – that person is counted guilty of sin\, and this is so even if he is unaware that \nhis thought is sinful. \nConsequently\, we need to be extremely vigilant and zealous\, and to give \nmuch time to searching the divine Scriptures. The Savior’s command\, “Search \nthe Scriptures” shows how profitable they are for us. Search them\, and hold fast \nto what they say with great exactitude and faith. Then\, when the divine \nScriptures have given you an accurate knowledge of God’s will\, you will be able \nto distinguish without error between good and evil\, and will not listen to every \nspirit\, or be carried away by harmful thoughts. \nYou may be certain that nothing is so conducive to our salvation as \nfollowing the divine commandments of the Savior. Nevertheless\, we shall have \nto shed many tears\, and shall need great fear\, great patience\, and constant \nprayer before the import of even a word of the Master can be revealed to us. \nOnly then shall we perceive the great mystery hidden in short sayings\, and be \nready to die for the smallest detail of the commandments of God. For the word \nof God is like a two-edged sword\, cutting off and separating the soul from all \nbodily desire and sensation. More than that\, it is like a blazing fire\, because it \nstirs up zeal in our souls\, and makes us disregard all the sorrows of life\, consider \nevery trial we encounter a joy\, and desire and embrace death\, so fearful to \nothers\, as life and the means of attaining life.
