SUMMARY:Vigils Reading
DESCRIPTION:THE DAY OF THE LORD \nFrom a sermon by St John Henry Newman \n◊◊◊ \n“A little while\, and you shall not see me: and again\, a little while\, and \nyou shall see me\, because I go to the Father.“… Now observe what the promise \nis… A new era was to commence\, or what is called in Scripture “a day of the \nLord.” We know how much is said in Scripture about the awfulness and \ngraciousness of a day of the Lord\, which seems to be some special time of \nvisitation\, grace\, judgment\, restoration\, righteousness\, and glory. Much is said \nconcerning days of the Lord in the Old Testament… We read of those august \ndays <in the beginning>\, seven in number\, each perfect\, perfect all together\, in \nwhich all things were created\, finished\, blessed\, acknowledged\, approved by \nAlmighty God. \nAnd all things will end with a day greater still\, which will open with the \ncoming of Christ from heaven\, and the judgment; this is especially the Day of \nthe Lord\, and will introduce an eternity of blessedness in God’s presence for all \nbelievers… Observe how solemn\, how high a day it is: this is his account of it\, “I \nwill see you again\, and your heart shall rejoice; your joy no one takes from \nyou… At that Day you shall ask in my Name\, and I do not say to you\, that I will \npray to the Father for you\, for the Father himself loves you\, because you have \nloved me\, and have believed that I came out from God.” \nThe Day\, then\, that dawned upon the Church at the Resurrection\, and \nbeamed forth in full splendour at the Ascension\, that Day which has no setting\, \nwhich will be\, not ended but absorbed in Christ’s glorious appearance from \nheaven to destroy sin and death; that Day in which we now are\, is described…as \na state of special Divine manifestation\, of special introduction into the presence \nof God. By Christ\, says the Apostle\, “we have the access by faith into this grace \nwherein we stand.” He “has raised us up together\, and made us sit together in \nheavenly places in Christ Jesus.“… \nThus we as Christians stand in the courts of God Most High\, and\, in one \nsense see his face; for he who once was on earth\, has now departed from this \nvisible scene of things in a mysterious\, twofold way\, both to his Father and into \nour hearts\, thus making the Creator and his creatures one; according to his own \nwords\, “I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. Yet a little while\, \nand the world sees me no more; but you see me: because I live\, you shall live \nalso. At that Day you shall know that I am in the Father\, and you in me\, and I \nin you.“
