SUMMARY:Vigils reading - 2nd Sun of Advent
DESCRIPTION:THE TIME FOR FAITH \nFrom a commentary by St Augustine \n◊◊◊ \nThe gospel tells us that some people were rebuked by the Lord because\, \nclever as they were at reading the face of the sky\, they could not recognize the \ntime for faith when the kingdom of heaven was at hand. It was the Jews who \nreceived this reprimand\, but it has also come down to us. The Lord Jesus began \nhis preaching of the gospel with the admonition: Repent\, for the kingdom of \nheaven is at hand. His forerunner\, John the Baptist\, began in the same way: \nRepent\, he said\, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Today\, for those who will \nnot repent at the approach of the kingdom of heaven\, the reproof of the Lord is \nthe same. As he points out himself\, You cannot expect to see the kingdom of \nheaven coming. The kingdom of heaven\, he says elsewhere\, is within you. \nEach of us would be wise therefore to take to heart the advice of his \nteacher\, and not waste this present time. It is now that the Savior offers us his \nmercy; now\, while he still spares the human race. Understand that it is in hope \nof our conversion that he spares us\, for he desires no one’s damnation. As for \nwhen the end of the world will be\, that is God’s concern. \nNow is the time for faith. Whether any of us here present will see the end \nof the world I know not; very likely none of us will. Even so\, the time is very near \nfor each of us\, for we are mortal. There are hazards all around us. We should be \nin less danger from them were we made of glass. What is more fragile than a \nvessel of glass? And yet it can be kept safe and last indefinitely. Of course it is \nexposed to accident\, but it is not liable to old age and the suffering it brings. \nWe therefore are the more frail and infirm. In our weakness we are \nhaunted by fears of all the calamities that regularly befall the human race\, and if \nno such calamity overtakes us\, still\, time marches on. We may evade the blows \nof fortune\, but shall we evade death? We may escape perils from without\, but \nshall we escape what comes from within us? Now\, suddenly\, we may be attacked \nby any malady. And if we are spared? Even so\, old age comes at last\, and nothing \nwill delay it.
