SUMMARY:Vigils Reading - 2nd Sunday of Easter
DESCRIPTION:BLESSED ARE THOSE \nWHO HAVE NOT SEEN \nFrom a commentary by St Augustine \n◊◊◊ \nMy dear people\, you\, like myself\, are well aware that our Lord and Savior \nJesus Christ is the one physician capable of bringing us eternal healing and \nsalvation. We know\, too\, that it was in order to accomplish this that he took \nupon himself the weakness of our human nature\, otherwise that weakness \nwould have remained with us forever. He equipped himself with a human body \nliable to death\, so that in and through that body he might conquer death itself. \nAnd though\, as the apostle tells us\, it was his human weakness that made it \npossible for him to be crucified\, it was his divine power that enabled him to \nreturn to life. \nThat same apostle says: He will never die again\, neither will death have \nany further hold upon him. All this you already know and believe\, and also the \nconsequences flowing from it; we can be sure that the miracles he wrought while \nhe lived among us were meant to encourage us to accept the gifts from him that \nshould never pass away nor have an end. Thus he gave back sight to blind eyes \nthat would shortly be closed again in death; he raised Lazarus from the dead \nonly for him to die again. His bodily cures\, indeed\, were never meant to last for \never\, even though at the end of time he is to give the body itself life everlasting. \nBut because “seeing is believing\,” he used these visible wonders to build up \npeople’s faith in even greater marvels that could not be seen. \nLet no one then be found to say that since Christ Jesus our Lord no longer \nworks such miracles among us\, the Church was better off in its early days. On \nthe contrary\, in one recorded testament\, the same Lord set those who have \nnever seen and yet believe before those who believe only because they see. \nIndeed\, so great was the disciples’ weakness at that time\, that when they saw the \nLord they found it necessary to touch him before they could believe he had really \nrisen from the dead. They were unable to believe the testimony of their own \neyes\, until they had handled his body and explored his recent wounds with their \nfingers. Only after this was done could that most hesitant of all his disciples \nexclaim: My Lord and my God! Thus it was by his wounds that Christ\, who had \nso often healed the manifold wounds of others\, came to be recognized himself. \nNow we may ask: could not the Lord have risen with a body from which all \nthe marks of wounds had been erased? No doubt he could have; but he knew his \ndisciples bore within their hearts a wound so deep that the only way to cure it \nwas to retain the scars of his own wounds in his body. And when that confession: \nMy Lord and my God! Was uttered\, what was his answer to it? You believe\, he \nsaid\, because you have seen me; blessed are those who have not seen and yet \nbelieve. \nAnd who\, my brothers and sisters\, are those if not ourselves and those \nwho are to follow after us? When\, later on\, the Lord had departed from human \nsight and faith had time to strike roots into people’s hearts\, those who believed \nin him made their act of faith without seeing him in whom they made it. The \nfaith of such believers is highly meritorious\, for it springs from a devoted heart \nrather than an exploring hand.
