SUMMARY:Vigils Reading - 6th Sunday ORD
DESCRIPTION:BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS \nFrom a commentary by St John Chrysostom \n◊◊◊ \nChrist gave his life for you\, and do you hold a grudge against your fellow \nservant? How then can you approach the table of peace? Your master did not \nrefuse to undergo every kind of suffering for you\, and will you not even forgo \nyour anger? Why is this\, when love is the root\, the wellspring and the mother of \nevery blessing? \nHe has offered me an outrageous insult\, you say. He has wronged me \ntimes without number\, he has endangered my life. Well\, what is that? He has \nnot yet crucified you as the Jewish elders crucified the Lord. If you refuse to \nforgive your neighbor’s offense your heavenly Father will not forgive your sins \neither. \nWhat does your conscience say when you repeat the words: Our Father \nwho art in heaven\, hallowed be thy name\, and the rest? Christ went so far as to \noffer his blood for the salvation of those who shed it. What could you do that \nwould equal that? If you refuse to forgive your enemy you harm not him but \nyourself. You have indeed harmed him frequently in this present life\, but you \nhave earned for yourself eternal punishment on the day of judgment. There is no \none God detests and repudiates more than the person who bears a grudge\, \nwhose heart is filled with anger\, whose soul is seething with rage. \nListen to the Lord’s words: If you are bringing your gift to the altar\, and \nthere remember that your brother or sister has something against you\, leave \nyour gift there before the altar and first go and be reconciled. Then come and \noffer your gift. \nWhat do you mean? Am I really to leave my gift\, my offering there? Yes\, he \nsays\, because this sacrifice is offered in order that you may live in peace with \nyour neighbor. If then the attainment of peace is the object of the sacrifice and \nyou fail to make peace\, even if you share in the sacrifice your lack of peace will \nmake this sharing fruitless. Before all else\, therefore make peace\, for the sake of \nwhich the sacrifice is offered. Then you will really benefit from it. \nThe reason the Son of God came into the world was to reconcile the \nhuman race with the Father. As Paul says: Now he has reconciled all things to \nhimself\, destroying enmity in himself by the cross. Consequently\, as well as \ncoming himself to make peace he also calls us blessed if we do the same\, and \nshares his title with us. Blessed are the peacemakers\, he says\, for they shall be \ncalled the children of God. \nSo as far as a human being can\, you must do what Christ the Son of God \ndid\, and become a promoter of peace both for yourself and for your neighbor. \nChrist calls the peacemakers a child of God. The only good deed he mentions as \nessential at the time of sacrifice is reconciliation with one’s brother or sister. \nThis shows that of all the virtues the most important is love.
