SUMMARY:Vigils Reading - 1st Sunday Advent
DESCRIPTION:THE COMING OF \nYOUR ETERNAL JUDGE \nFrom a commentary by St Gregory the Great1 \n◊◊◊ \nThe Lord says: Heaven and earth will pass away\, but my words will not \npass away. He means: Nothing that is lasting in your world lasts for eternity \nwithout change; and everything that in Him is perceived as passing away is kept \nfirm\, without passing away. His utterance\, which passes away\, expresses \nthoughts that endure without change. \nTherefore\, my friends\, do not love what you see cannot long exist. Keep in \nmind the apostle’s precept\, in which he counsels us not to love the world or the \nthings in the world\, because if anyone loves the world\, the love of the Father is \nnot in him. The day before yesterday…you heard that an old orchard was \nuprooted by a sudden hurricane\, that homes were destroyed and churches \nknocked from their foundations. How many persons who were safe and \nunharmed in the evening\, thinking of what they would do the next day\, suddenly \ndied that night\, caught in a trap of destruction? \nWe must reflect that to bring these things about our unseen Judge caused \nthe movement of a very slight breeze; he called a storm out of a single cloud and \noverthrew the earth; he struck the foundations of many buildings\, causing them \nto fall. What will the Judge do when he comes in person\, when his anger is \nburning to punish sinners\, if we cannot bear him when he strikes us with an \ninsignificant cloud? What flesh will withstand the presence of his anger\, if he \nmoved the wind and overthrew the earth\, stirred up the air and destroyed so \nmany buildings? Paul referred to this severity of the Judge who is to come and \nsaid: It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. \nDearly beloved\, keep that day before your eyes\, and whatever you now \nbelieve to be burdensome will be light in comparison with it. The Lord says of \nthis day through the prophet: Yet once more and I will shake not only the earth \nbut also the heavens. \nYou see how he moved the air\, as I said\, and the earth did not withstand it. \nWho then will bear it when he moves the sky? What shall we call these terrors we \nsee but heralds of the wrath to come? We must reflect that these troubles are as \nmuch unlike the final one as the herald’s role is unlike the judge’s power. Give \nhard thought to that day\, dearly beloved; amend your lives\, change your habits\, \nresist and overcome your evil temptations. The more you now anticipate his \nseverity by fear\, the more securely will you behold the coming of your eternal \nJudge.
