SUMMARY:Vigils reading
DESCRIPTION:MY HEART IS READY \nFrom a sermon by Blessed Guerric of Igny \n◊◊◊ \nDo you want to hear more explicitly about the confession you should \nmake in preparation for the coming of the Lord? “A just man is the first to accuse \nhimself\,” says the Scripture. And what follows? His Friend comes\, who before \nthe accusation was withdrawing farther away\, estranged. For when he said: “I \nwill confess against myself my injustice to the Lord\,” the Lord forgave him. “He \ncomes and shall search him.” Indeed he shall search him like a strong draft \nsearching the heart and the reins\, reaching into the division of the soul and the \nspirit\, drawing out all impurity from the recesses of the soul and the deep \ncaverns of the mind\, purging love that it may bring forth more fruit. God the \nFather\, the husbandman\, rejoices already over the first-fruits of that confession. \nHowever\, he who – after such confession – is present sometimes even \nbefore he is called on\, at other times waits for you to invite him. And in order to \nincrease your merits he often dissimulates for a long time so that by being more \nattentive at the psalmody and more instant in prayer you may in your gentle \nviolence compel him to enter. If you do not\, the prophet laments that the cities \nof the south are shut up\, with none to enter them. \nWhen therefore you can say: “My heart is ready\, O God\,” because it is \nemptied of evil\, “my heart is ready\,” because it is full of holy desires\, then busy \nyourself with what follows: “I will sing and recite a psalm.” And whatever may \nbe your voice\, singing or reciting\, let this intention be in your mind: “Arise\, my \nGlory\, arise at my coming\, for as far as it is in me [to go\,] I have gone to meet \nyou.” \nO good Jesus\, how swift and prompt\, how full of joy and gladness are you \nin running to greet such devotion as this. How cheerful do you show yourself in \nthese ways. As Isaiah says: “You have met him that rejoices and does justice: in \nyour ways they shall remember you.” For if you sing wisely in the way of \nintegrity\, coming he will come and will bring to light what is hidden from you so \nthat you may understand the mysteries of the Scriptures you do not at present \nknow. Then it will be as you say: “I will sing and I will understand in the \nunspotted way when you shall come to me.” Stir up\, Lord\, your power\, which at \nyour coming stirs up our sluggishness\, and come to save us\, O Savior of the \nworld\, who live and reign\, God for ever and ever.
