SUMMARY:Vigils Reading - 6th Sun Ordinary Time
DESCRIPTION:THE CROWNS OF VICTORY \nFrom a commentary by St John Chrysostom1 \n◊◊◊ \nOnly Christians have a true sense of values\, their joys and sorrows are not \nthe same as other people’s. The sight of a wounded boxer wearing a victor’s \ncrown would make someone ignorant of the games think only of the boxer’s \nwounds and how painful they must be. Such a person would know nothing of the \nhappiness the crown gives. And it is the same when people see the things we \nsuffer without knowing why we do so. It naturally seems to them to be suffering \npure and simple. They see us struggling and facing danger\, but beyond their \nvision are the rewards\, the crowns of victory – all we hope to gain through the \ncontest! \nWhen Paul said. We possess nothing\, and yet we have everything\, what \ndid he mean by “everything”? Wealth of both the earthly and the spiritual order. \nDid he not possess every earthly gift when whole cities received him as an angel\, \nwhen people were ready to pluck out their eyes for him\, or bare their neck to the \nsword? But if you would think of spiritual blessings\, you will see that it was in \nthese above all that he was rich. The King of the universe and Lord of angels \nloved him so much that he shared his secrets with him. Did he not surpass all \nothers in wealth then? Did he not possess all things? Had it been otherwise\, \ndemons would not have been subject to him\, nor sickness and suffering put to \nflight by his presence. \nWe too\, then. when we suffer anything for Christ’s sake\, should do so not \nonly with courage\, but even with joy. If we have to go hungry\, let us be glad as if \nwe were at a banquet. If we are insulted\, let us be elated as though we had been \nshowered with praises. If we lose all we possess\, let us consider ourselves the \ngainers. If we provide for the poor\, let us regard ourselves as the recipients. \nAnyone who does not give in this way will find it difficult to give at all. So when \nyou wish to distribute alms. Do not think only of what you are giving away; think \nrather of what you are gaining\, for your gain will exceed your loss. \nAnd not only in the matter of almsgiving\, but also with every virtue you \npractice: do not think of the painful effort involved\, but of the sweetness of the \nreward; and above all remember that your struggles are for the sake of our Lord \nJesus Christ. Then you will easily rise above them\, and live out your whole \nlifetime in happiness; for nothing brings more happiness than a good \nconscience.
