SUMMARY:Vigils Reading - Holy Family
DESCRIPTION:THE INCARNATE WORD \nFrom a commentary by St John Chrysostom \n◊◊◊ \nToday\, as a firstborn son\, Christ went down into Egypt to end the \nmourning its ancient bereavement had brought upon that land. Instead of \nplagues he brought joy\, instead of night and darkness he gave the light of \nsalvation. \nOf old the river’s water had been polluted by the untimely deaths of \nmurdered infants. Therefore he who long ago had stained the waters red went \ndown into Egypt and purified those waters by the power of the Holy Spirit\, \nmaking them the source of salvation. When the Egyptians were afflicted they \nraged against God and denied him. Therefore he went down into Egypt\, filled \ndevout souls with the knowledge of God and made the river more productive of \nmartyrs than it was of ears of grain. \nWhat more shall I say of this mystery? I see a carpenter and a manger\, an \ninfant and swaddling clothes\, a virgin giving birth without the necessities of life; \nnothing but poverty and complete destitution. Have you ever seen wealth in \nsuch penury? How could he who was rich have become\, for our sake\, so poor \nthat he had neither bed nor bedding but was laid in a manger? O immeasurable \nwealth concealed in poverty! He lies in a manger\, yet he rocks the whole world. \nHe is bound with swaddling bands\, yet he breaks the bonds of sin. Before he \ncould speak he taught the wise men and converted them. What else can I say? \nHere is the newborn babe\, wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger. \nWith him are Mary\, virgin and mother\, and Joseph who was called his father. \nJoseph was only betrothed to Mary when the Holy Spirit overshadowed \nher; so he was at a loss as to what he should call the child. While he was in this \nperplexity a message from heaven came to him by the voice of an angel: Do not \nbe afraid\, Joseph. It is by the Holy Spirit that she has conceived this child. In \nher virginity the Holy Spirit overshadowed her. \nWhy was Christ born of a virgin\, and her virginity preserved inviolate? \nBecause of old the devil had deceived the virgin Eve\, Gabriel brought the Good \nNews to the Virgin Mary. Having fallen into the trap\, Eve spoke the word that \nled to death. Having received the good News\, Mary gave birth to the incarnate \nWord who has brought us eternal life.
