SUMMARY:Vigils Reading - Easter Sunday
DESCRIPTION:CHRIST’S RESURRECTION \nIS OUR RESURRECTION \nBy Symeon the New Theologian \n◊◊◊ \nAlready Easter\, that joyful day\, that day of all gladness and delight\, the \nday of Christ’s resurrection\, has arrived in the circle of the year. But rather\, it \nhappens daily and eternally in those who know its mystery\, and so has filled our \nhearts with unspeakable joy and gladness. Let us look and carefully examine \nwhat is the mystery of that resurrection of Christ our God which takes place \nmystically in us at all times\, if we are willing… \nChrist our God was hanged on the cross and nailed on it the sin of the \nworld. He tasted death and went down to the uttermost depths of hell… He \nreturned from hell into His own spotless body\, from which He had in no way \nbeen separated as He descended…and He arose from the dead. After that He \nascended into heaven with great glory and power. So\, likewise\, as we have now \ncome out of the world and entered into the tomb of repentance and humiliation \nby being assimilated to the sufferings of the Lord\, He Himself comes down from \nheaven and enters into our body as into a tomb. He unites Himself to our souls \nand raises them up\, though they were undoubtedly dead\, and then grants to him \nwho has thus been raised with Christ that he may see the glory of His mystical \nresurrection. \nChrist’s resurrection is thus our resurrection\, ours who lie here below. He \nwho has never fallen into sin\, as it is written\, nor lost anything whatever of His \nown glory\, how will He ever be raised up or be glorified\, since He is always \nglorified above all and remains the same\, “far above all rule and authority”…? \nThrough His resurrection in us it comes into being in us\, is shown to us\, and is \nseen by us. Once He has appropriated what is ours\, that which He works in us \nHe attributes to Himself… \nThe body is dead and cannot live or be called alive unless it receives the \nliving soul in itself and is joined to it\, though not mingled with it. Likewise the \nsoul cannot live unless it is ineffably and without confusion united to God\, who \nis truly the life eternal… \nA blind man who hits his foot against a stone feels it\, but a dead man does \nnot… In spiritual things\, unless the mind comes to the contemplation of the \nthings that are above thought\, it does not perceive the mystical activity. Those \nwho have not arrived at contemplation in spiritual matters and claim that they \nperceive the things that are above intellect\, word\, and thought are like those \nwhose eyes are blinded and who have a sensation of good or bad things that they \nexperience\, but do not know what is in their hands or at their feet\, even if they \nare for them a matter of life or death. Since they are deprived of the faculty and \nperception of vision they in no way perceive the bad or the good things that \ncome upon them. Thus they will often lift up their staff to ward off an enemy \nand possibly strike a friend instead\, while their enemy stands before their eyes \nand laughs at them. \nMost people believe in the resurrection of Christ\, but very few have a clear \nvision of it. Those who have no vision thereof cannot even adore Christ Jesus as \nthe Holy One and as Lord.
