SUMMARY:Vigils Reading - 18th Week
DESCRIPTION:THE GENEROUS INVITATION \nFrom a commentary by St Basil the Great \n◊◊◊ \n“The land of a rich man produced abundant harvests\, and he thought to \nhimself: What am I to do? I will pull down my barns\, and build larger ones.” \nNow why did that land bear so well\, when it belonged to a man who would \nmake no good use of its fertility? It was to show more clearly the forbearance of \nGod\, whose kindness extends even to such people as this. He sends rain on both \nthe just and unjust\, and makes the sun rise on the wicked and the good alike. \nBut what do we find in this man? A bitter disposition\, hatred of other \npeople\, unwillingness to give. This is the return he made to his Benefactor. He \nforgot that we all share the same nature; he felt no obligation to distribute his \nsurplus to the needy. His barns were full to the bursting point\, but still his \nmiserly heart was not satisfied. Year by year he increased his wealth\, always \nadding new crops to the old. The result was a hopeless impasse: greed would not \npermit him to part with anything he possessed\, and yet because he had so much \nthere was no place to store his latest harvest. And so he is incapable of making a \ndecision and could not escape from his anxiety. What am I to do? \nWho would not pity a man so oppressed? His land yields him no profit but \nonly sighs: it brings him no rich returns\, but only cares and distress and a \nterrible helplessness. He laments in the same way as the poor do. Is not his cry \nlike that of one hard pressed by poverty? What am I to do? How can I find food \nand clothing? \nYou who have wealth\, recognize who has given you the gifts you have \nreceived. Consider yourself\, who you are\, what has been committed to your \ncharge\, from whom have you received it\, why have you been preferred to most \nother people? You are the servant of the good God\, a steward on behalf of your \nfellow servants. Do not imagine that everything has been provided for your own \nstomach. Take decisions regarding your property as though it belonged to \nanother. Possessions give you pleasure for a short time\, but then they will slip \nthrough your fingers and be gone\, and you will be required to give an exact \naccount of them. \nWhat am I to do? It would have been so easy to say: “I will feed the \nhungry\, I will open my barns and call in all the poor…proclaiming good will \ntoward everyone.” I will offer the generous invitation: “Let anyone who lacks \nbread come… You shall share\, each according to need\, in the good things God \nhas given\, just as though you were drawing from a common well.”
