SUMMARY:Vigils Reading
DESCRIPTION:THE LIFE THAT CONQUERS \nFrom “The Eternal Year” by Fr Karl Rahner \n◊◊◊ \nBecause [Jesus] did not begin to heal\, to save\, and to transfigure the world \nby transfiguring the symptoms on the surface\, but began rather at the \ninnermost root\, we suppose that nothing has happened to the essence beneath \nthis superficial area. Because the waters of grief and guilt still flow on the \nsurface where we stand\, we fancy that their source in the depths is not yet dried \nup. Because evil still carves new marks in the face of the earth\, we conclude that \nin the deepest heart of reality love is dead. But these are only appearances\, \nwhich we take for the reality of life. \nChrist is risen because in death he conquered\, and redeemed forever\, the \ninnermost center of all earthly existence. And\, having risen\, he has kept this \ninnermost center in his control\, and he continues to preserve it. If we \nacknowledge that he has gone away to God’s heaven\, this is only another way of \nsaying that he withdraws from us for a while the tangibility of his transfigured \nhumanity. But this is only another way of saying that there is no longer any \nabyss between God and the world. \nChrist is already in the midst of the poor things of this earth… He is in the \nineffable yearning of all creatures who\, without knowing it\, yearn for a share in \nthe transfiguration of his body. He is in the history of the earth\, whose blind \ncourse\, with all its victories and all its crashing defeats\, steers with uncanny \nprecision towards the day when his splendor\, transforming everything\, will \nerupt out of the earth’s own depths. He is in all the tears as hidden joy\, and in \nevery death as the life that conquers by seeming to die. He is the heart of this \nearthly world and the mysterious seal of its eternal validity.
