SUMMARY:Saturday in the Third Week in Lent
DESCRIPTION:HIDDEN BY HIS HOLY FLESH\nFrom a commentary by St Cyril of Alexandria 7\n◊◊◊\nEmmanuel\, God-with-us\, is presented in figure and image when Scripture says: And you will place the ark of the testimony in the tabernacle and cover it with the veil. For in the preceding account the Word was described to us as in the whole tabernacle; for it was the house in which God dwelt\, namely\, the holy body of Christ. But despite that\, the ark gives us the same meaning in detail. For it was made of acacia wood\, for you to perceive his incorruptibility. It was entirely overlaid with pure gold\, as it is written\, both inside and outside. For everything in him\, both divine and human\, is precious and splendid; and in everything he is pre-eminent\, as Paul says… \nSo the ark was made of acacia wood and overlaid with gold\, and had the divine Law put into it as a symbol of the indwelling Word of God united to a holy body. For the Word of God was also the Law\, even\, if not in human form\, as the Son is. But it is covered with the veil. \nIt was much the same with God the Word made man\, the covering of his own body obscured to the many. He\, too\, was hidden by his holy flesh as by a veil. Some of the Jews\, therefore\, failing to recognize his divine majesty\, sometimes tried to stone him to death\, accusing him of claiming to be God\, when he was a man. Others again did not hesitate to say: Is this not Jesus\, the son of Joseph\, whose father and mother we know? How\, then\, can he say: ‘I have come down from heaven.’ \nSo the laying of a veil on the ark tells us symbolically that Jesus would not be recognized by the many. Then even the ark itself was a symbol of him. So it was even he who went before the Israelites in the desert\, taking the place of God at that time; for it was he who led the people. The psalmist is also a witness to this\, saying: When you went before your people\, O God\, when you crossed the desert\, the earth shook and the heavens\, too\, poured down rain. For the ark being always in front clearly means that God leads the way. \nFor Christ is one\, but is understood in many and various ways: he is the tabernacle\, because of the veil of flesh; he is the ark\, containing the divine Law\, as he is the Word of God the Father; he is the table\, as life and nourishment; the lampstand\, as intellectual and spiritual light; he is the altar of sacrifice\, as the fragrant odor in sanctity; and the altar of offerings\, as an offering for the life of the world. Thus all things in life are sanctified\, for Christ is entirely holy\, in whatever way he is understood. \n7 St Cyril of Alexandria\, On John IV.4 (PG 73:620-621\, 625); from Word in Season II\, 2nd ed
