SUMMARY:Vigils Reading - Epiphany of the Lord
DESCRIPTION:KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUE LIGHT \nFrom a commentary by St Leo the Great \n◊◊◊ \nDearly beloved\, the day on which Christ first showed himself to the \nGentiles as the Savior of the world should be held in holy reverence among us. \nWe should experience in our hearts the same joy as the three wise men felt when \nthe sign of the new star led them into the presence of the king of heaven and \nearth\, and they gazed in adoration upon the one in whose promised coming they \nhad put their faith. \nAlthough that day belongs to the past\, the power of the mystery which was \nthen revealed has not passed away; we are not left with a mere report of bygone \nevents\, to be received in faith and remembered with veneration. God’s bounty \ntowards us has been multiplied\, so that even in our own times we daily \nexperience the grace which belonged to those first beginnings. \nThe Gospel story specifically recalls the days when\, without any previous \nteaching from the prophets or instruction in the law\, three men came from the \nfar east in search of God; but we see the same thing taking place even more \nclearly and extensively in the enlightenment of all those whom God calls at the \npresent time. We see the fulfillment of that prophecy of Isaiah which says: The \nLord has bared his holy arm in the sight of all nations\, and the whole world \nhas seen the salvation that comes from the Lord our God. And again: Those \nwho have not been told about him shall see\, and those who have not heard \nshall understand. \nWhen we see the people being led out of the abyss of error and called to \nknowledge of the true light\, people who\, far from professing faith in Jesus \nChrist\, have hitherto devoted themselves to worldly wisdom\, we can have no \ndoubt that the splendor of divine grace is at work. Whenever a shaft of light \nnewly pierces darkened hearts\, its source is the radiance of that same star\, \nwhich impresses the souls it touches by the miracle of its appearance and leads \nthem forward to worship God. \nIf on the other hand we earnestly ask ourselves whether the same \nthreefold oblation is made by all who come to Christ in faith\, shall we not \ndiscover a corresponding gift offering in the hearts in the hearts of true \nbelievers? To acknowledge Christ’s universal sovereignty is in fact to bring out \ngold from the treasury of one’s soul; to believe God’s only Son has made himself \ntruly one with human nature is to offer myrrh\, and to declare that he is in no way \ninferior to the Father in majesty is to worship him with frankincense.
