SUMMARY:Vigils Reading
DESCRIPTION:A FORESHADOW OF \nTHE GRACE TO COME \nFrom the treatise on the Holy Spirit by St Basil the Great \n◊◊◊ \nThe type manifests things to come by imitating them\, foreshadowing \nfuture events in order to make them understood. For example\, Adam was a \ntype of the One who was to come\, the rock was a type of Christ\, and the water \nthat flowed from the rock was a type of the life-giving power of the Word\, for the \nLord said: If anyone is thirsty\, let him come to me and drink. The manna \ntypified the living bread that came down from heaven and the serpent fixed to \nthe pole typified the saving Passion consummated upon the Cross\, which is why \nall who looked at it were saved. \nSimilarly\, the reason the story is told of the Israelites’ exodus from Egypt \nis that they prefigure those who are saved by baptism. The firstborn of the \nIsraelites were saved in the same way as are the bodies of the baptized\, since \ngrace was given to those marked by the blood. For the blood of the lamb was a \nsymbol of the first man who was created and who of necessity still exists in us\, \ntransmitted through succeeding generations until the end of the world. \nThe sea and the cloud had the immediate effect of producing faith because \nof the amazement they aroused\, but in relation to the future they were types \nforeshadowing the grace to come. Who is wise enough to understand these \nthings\, to understand how the sea is a type of baptism because it separated the \nIsraelites from Pharaoh just as baptism separates us from the tyranny of the \ndevil? \nIn its waters the sea destroyed the enemy and in baptism is slain our \nenmity with God. From those waters the people emerged unharmed\, and we \nemerge from the waters of baptism as though we had died and come to life \nagain\, saved by the grace of him who called us. As for the cloud\, that \nforeshadowed the gift of the Spirit\, who cools the heat of the passions by the \nmortification of our body.
