SUMMARY:Vigils Reading - Easter Sunday
DESCRIPTION:From a commentary by \nRUFINUS OF AQUILEIA \n◊◊◊ \n“On the third day He rose again from the dead.” The glory of His \nresurrection brought out in Christ the splendor of everything that previously \nseemed feeble and weak. If a few moments ago you thought it impossible for \nOne who was immortal to reach death\, you can now perceive the impossibility of \nHis being mortal who is declared to have vanquished death and to have risen \nagain. \nIn this you should discern the Creator’s goodness\, in His readiness to \nfollow you down to the depths to which your sins have plunged you. You should \nnot\, either\, suggest that anything is impossible for God\, the Creator of all things\, \nimagining that His work could have been brought to an end by falling into an \nabyss to which He could not penetrate in order to accomplish salvation… \nSo He returned victoriously from the dead\, bringing with Him spoils from \nhell. For He conducted forth those whom death held prisoners\, as He Himself \nhad prophesied in the words: “When I am lifted up from the earth\, I will draw \nall things to myself.” The Gospel bears witness to this when it states: “The \ngraves were opened\, and many bodies of the saints that slept arose\, and they \nappeared to many\, and entered into the holy city.” By this is meant…the city \nintended by the Apostle when he wrote: “But that Jerusalem\, which is above is \nfree: which is mother of us all.” \nHe made the same point again to the Hebrews: “For it became Him for \nwhom are all things\, and by whom are all things\, who had brought many \nchildren to glory\, to perfect the author of their salvation by His passion.” By \nHis passion\, therefore\, He made perfect that human flesh which had been \nbrought down to death by the first man’s sin\, and restored it by the power of His \nresurrection: sitting on God’s right hand\, He placed it in the highest heavens. In \nview of this the Apostle says: “Who has raised us up together\, and has made us \nsit together in the heavenly places.” \nIt was He\, you see\, who was the potter mentioned by the prophet \nJeremias: “The vessel which had fallen from His hand and was broken\, He \nagain raised up with His hands and formed anew\, as it seemed good in His \neyes.” So it seemed good to Him to raise the mortal and corruptible body He had \nassumed from the rocky tomb\, and rendering it immortal and incorruptible to \nplace it\, no longer in an earthly environment\, but in heaven at His Father’s right \nhand…
