SUMMARY:Vigils Reading - 2nd Sunday of Easter
DESCRIPTION:From a commentary by \nST CYRIL OF ALEXANDRIA \n◊◊◊ \nBy his miraculous entry through closed doors Christ proved to his \ndisciples that by nature he was God and also that he was none other than their \nformer companion. By showing them his side and the marks of the nails\, he \nconvinced them beyond a doubt that he had raised the temple of his body\, the \nvery body that had hung upon the cross. He had destroyed death’s power over \nthe flesh\, for as God he was life itself. \nBecause of the importance he attached to making his disciples believe in \nthe resurrection of the body\, and in order to prevent them from thinking that \nthe body he now possessed was different from that in which he had suffered \ndeath upon the cross\, he willed to appear to them as he had been before\, even \nthough the time had now come for his body to be clothed in a supernatural glory \nsuch as no words could possibly describe. \nWe have only to recall Christ’s transfiguration on the mountain in the \npresence of his holy disciples\, to realize that mortal eyes could not have endured \nthe glory of his sacred body had he chosen to reveal it before ascending to the \nFather. Saint Matthew describes how Jesus went up the mountain with Peter\, \nJames and John\, and how he was transfigured before them. His face shone like \nlightning and his clothes became white as snow. But they were unable to endure \nthe sight and fell prostrate on the ground. \nAnd so\, before allowing the glory which belonged to it by every right to \ntransfigure the temple of his body\, our Lord Jesus Christ in his wisdom \nappeared to his disciples in the form that they had known. He wished them to \nbelieve that he had risen from the dead in the very body that he had received \nfrom the blessed virgin\, and in which he had suffered crucifixion and death\, as \nthe Scriptures had foretold. Death’s power was over the body alone\, and it was \nfrom the body that it was banished. \nIf it was not Christ’s dead body that rose again\, how was death conquered\, \nhow was the power of corruption destroyed? It could not have been destroyed by \nthe death of a created spirit\, of a soul\, of an angel\, or even of the Word of God \nhimself. Since death held sway only over what was corruptible by nature\, it was \nin this corruptible nature that the power of the resurrection had to show itself in \norder to end death’s tyranny. \nWhen Christ greeted his disciples with the words: Peace be with you\, by \npeace he meant himself for Christ’s presence always brings tranquility of soul. \nThis is the grace Saint Paul desired for believers when he wrote: The peace of \nChrist\, which passes all understanding\, will guard your hearts and minds. The \npeace of Christ\, which passes all understanding\, is in fact the Spirit of Christ\, \nwho fills those who share in him with every blessing.
