SUMMARY:Vigils Reading - 4th Sunday of Lent
DESCRIPTION:A FATHER \nAND NOT A JUDGE \nFrom a commentary by St John Chrysostom \n◊◊◊ \nAll that God looks for from us is the slightest opening\, and he forgives a \nmultitude of sins. Let me tell you a parable that will confirm this. \nThere were two brothers: they divided their father’s goods between them\, \nand one stayed home\, while the other went away to a foreign country\, wasted all \nhe had been given\, and then could not bear the shame of his poverty. Now the \nreason I have told you this parable is so that you will understand that even sins \ncommitted after baptism can be forgiven if we face up to them. I do not say this \nto encourage indolence but to save you from despair\, which harms us worse \nthan indolence. \nThe son who went away represents those who fall after baptism. This is \nclear from the fact that he is called a son\, since no one is called a son unless he is \nbaptized. Also\, he lived in his father’s house and took a share of all his father’s \ngoods. Before baptism no one receives the father’s goods or enters upon the \ninheritance. We can therefore take all this as signifying the state of believers. \nFurthermore\, the wastrel was a brother of the good man\, and no one is a brother \nunless he has been born again through the Spirit. \nWhat does he say after falling into the depths of evil? I will return to my \nfather. The reason the father let him go and did not prevent his departure for a \nforeign land was so that he might learn well by experience what good things are \nenjoyed by the one who remains at home. But when words would not convince \nus God often leaves us to learn from the things that happen to us. \nWhen the profligate returned after going to a foreign country and finding \nout by experience what a great sin it is to leave the father’s house\, the father did \nnot remember past injuries but welcomed him with open arms. Why? Because \nhe was a father and not a judge. And there were dances and festivities and \nbanquets and the whole house was full of joy and gladness. \nAre you asking: “Is this what he gets for his wickedness?” Not for his \nwickedness\, but for his return home; not for his sin but for repentance’ not for \nevil\, but for being converted. What is more\, when the elder son was angry at this\, \nthe father gently won him over\, saying You were always with me\, but he was \nlost and has been found; he was dead and has come back to life. When someone \nwho was lost has to be saved”\, says the father\, “it is not the time for passing \njudgment or making minute inquiries\, but only for mercy and forgiveness.”
