SUMMARY:Vigils Reading - 3rd Sunday of Lent
DESCRIPTION:ABIDE IN GOD’S LOVE \nFrom a commentary by St Augustine of Hippo \n◊◊◊ \nIt is My Father’s glory\, Christ said\, that you should bear abundant fruit \nand become my disciples. But even when we have glorified the Father by \nbearing much fruit and becoming Christ’s disciples\, we still have no right to \nclaim credit for it as though the work were ours alone. The grace to carry out the \nwork had first to come to us from God\, and so the glory is his\, not ours. That is \nwhy Christ is recorded in another place as saying: Let your light so shine before \nothers that they may see your good works – and here\, lest they be tempted to \nattribute these good works to themselves\, he immediately added: and may give \nthe glory for them to your heavenly Father. \nThis\, then\, is the Father’s glory\, that we should bear abundant fruit and \nbecome Christ’s disciples\, since it is only through God’s mercy in the first place \nthat we can become the disciples of Christ. We are God’s handiwork\, created in \nChrist Jesus for the performance of good works. \nAs the Father has loved me\, Jesus says\, so I have loved you. Abide in my \nlove. There we have the source of every good work of ours. How did they come to \nbe ours? Only because faith is alive in love. And how could we ever love\, unless \nwe ourselves were loved first? In his first letter\, John the evangelist made this \nquite clear. Let us love God\, he wrote\, because he first loved us. The Father does \nindeed love us\, but he does so in his Son; we glorify the Father by bearing fruit as \nbranches of the vine which is His Son and becoming his disciples. \nAbide in my love\, he says to us. How may we do that? In the words that \nfollow you have your answer. If you observe what I command you. then you \nwill truly abide in my love. But is it love that makes us keep the Lord’s \ncommandments\, or is it the keeping of them that makes us love him? There can \nbe no doubt that love comes first. Anyone devoid of love will lack all motive to \nkeep the commandments. \nWhen\, therefore\, Christ says to us: If you keep my commandments\, you \nwill abide in my love\, he is telling us that the observance of the commandments \nis not the source but rather the gauge and touchstone of our love. It is as though \nhe said to us: Do not suppose that you are abiding in my love if you are not \nkeeping my commandments\, for it is by observing them that you will abide in \nmy love. That is to say\, your observance of my commandments is the proof\, the \noutward manifestation\, of the fact that you abide in my love. \nLet no one\, then\, who neglects to keep the commandments deceive \nhimself by protesting his love for God. It is only to the extent that we keep the \nLord’s commandments that we abide in his love; insofar as we fail to keep them \nwe fail in love. Yet even when we do keep God’s commandments\, it is not \nsomething we do in order to make God love us\, for unless he loved us first we \nshould not be able to keep them. It is the gift of his grace\, a grace which is \naccessible to the humble of heart\, but beyond the reach of the proud.
