SUMMARY:Vigils Reading - 3rd Sunday of Easter
DESCRIPTION:From a commentary by a \n12th CENTURY AUTHOR \n◊◊◊ \nTheir eyes were opened and they knew him when he broke the bread. \nWhen bread is broken\, it is in a way diminished\, or “emptied”. By \nbreaking understand the virtue of humility\, by which Christ – even he who is the \nbread of life – broke\, diminished\, and emptied himself. And by emptying \nhimself he gave us knowledge of himself. \nThe hidden Wisdom of the Father\, and a treasure whole and concealed – \nwhat are they? Break your bread for the hungry\, Lord\, the bread that is yourself\, \nso that human eyes may be opened\, and it may not be regarded as a sin for us to \nlong to be like you\, knowing good and evil. Let him who from the beginning \nwished to strive after or grope for you in your undiminished state\, know you \nthrough the breaking of bread. \nBreak yourself that we may learn to break our own selves\, for you are not \nknown through the breaking of bread. Balaam heard the words of God and saw \nvisions of the Almighty\, but he fell with open eyes because he did not know the \nLord through the breaking of bread. It is the same today: you see many studying \nthe Scriptures\, teaching in cathedrals\, preaching in churches\, but their works do \nnot agree with their words. With words they claim to have a knowledge of God\, \nbut with their deeds they deny it\, because God cannot be known except through \nthe breaking of the bread. \nAnd in fact\, the Lord became our bread and we are his bread. He \ncondescended to eat his bread with sweat on his brow\, so that we might eat with \njoy. If you want to know him\, break yourself as he did\, because anyone who \nclaims to abide in Christ ought to live as he lived. The kingdom of God lies not in \nwords\, but in power. \nBreak yourself\, then\, by the labor of obedience\, by the humiliation of \nrepentance. Bear in your body the marks of Jesus Christ by accepting the \ncondition of a servant\, not of a superior. And when you have emptied yourself\, \nyou will know the Lord through the breaking of bread. True humility opens our \neyes\, “breaking” and diminishing the other virtues which might blind us with a \nspirit of pride\, and teaching us that of ourselves we are nothing. And when we \nhumble ourselves by self-contempt\, so much the more do we grow in the \nknowledge of God.
