SUMMARY:Vigils Reading - Ascension of the Lord
DESCRIPTION:THE MYSTERIES OF GLORY \nBy Fr Jean Danielou \n◊◊◊ \nThe Apostles’ Creed contains a noteworthy passage in which\, \ngrammatically speaking\, we move from the past to the future: “He ascended \ninto the heavens\, to be seated at the right hand of God. He will come again to \njudge the living and the dead.” Thus the mysteries of Christ are not completed \nwith the ascension. There is still another mystery to come\, that of the Parousia. \nBetween these two there is a mystery which is\, in the present\, that of the session \nat the right hand. So there is a mystery of Christ with which we are \ncontemporary\, that corresponds to that moment of sacred history which \nbelongs to us\, which constitutes the present activity of the Word. \nHere we find\, in the mysteries of glory\, the order which we ascertained in \nthe mysteries of darkness. Through the ascension\, the humanity of Christ was \nexalted above every creature and was introduced by the Word into the \ninaccessible sanctuary of the Trinity. But the humanity of Christ tends to attract \neverything else to it. “If only I am lifted up from the earth\, I will attract all \npeoples to myself.” Christ has only entered the heavenly sanctuary as a \nforerunner. The presence of his humanity in the sphere of the Trinity is the \nguarantee of the possibility that is henceforth ours to attain. The impassible gulf \nis henceforth overcome\, the impossible has become possible. In a suitable \nimage\, the epistle to the Hebrews shows the humanity of Christ as cast like an \nanchor\, not into the depths of the sea\, but into the far places of heaven\, laying \nthe foundation of our hope that we shall in our turn attain to the anchorage \nbeyond the veil. \nThus there is\, henceforth\, in the heart of each person an ascensional \npower which lifts it up and draws it towards the Father\, that “gravity” of love of \nwhich Augustine spoke\, and which counteracts the “gravity” of the flesh. This is \nthe meaning of the era of the Church\, in which Christ\, having entered into the \nglory of the Father\, seeks to lift up humanity as a whole. By this means the \nmovement is completed which began at the Incarnation\, when the Word of God \ncame to seek for mankind\, but in order to lead it back to the Father. “This is why \nwe are told\, he has mounted up on high; he has captured his spoil; he has \nbrought gifts. And he who so went down is no other than he who has gone up\, \nhigh above all the heavens to fill creation with his presence.” And truly this \nhumanity is a mighty weight to raise. Its gravity resists grace. That is the whole \ndrama of the present period in sacred history. But the power of the Word is \ngreater than our resistance.
