SUMMARY:Vigils Reading - St Bruno
DESCRIPTION:A letter from St Bruno to \nHIS CARTHUSIAN SONS \n◊◊◊ \nFrom the frequent and pleasant reports of our most blessed brother\, I \nknow of your reasoned and truly praiseworthy discipline\, carried out with \nunwavering rigor. Since I have heard of your holy love and constant pursuit of \nhonesty and virtue\, my spirit rejoices in the Lord. I rejoice and am drawn to \npraise and give thanks to God\, and still I long to love him. I rejoice\, as I should\, \nin the growing fruits of your strength\, and yet I grieve and am ashamed that I lie \nidle and senseless in the mire of my sins. \nTherefore rejoice\, my dearest brothers\, because you are so blessed and \nbecause of the bountiful hand of God’s grace upon you. Rejoice\, because you \nhave escaped the various dangers and shipwrecks of the stormy world. Rejoice\, \nbecause you have reached the quiet and safe anchorage of a secret harbor. Many \nwish to come into this port\, and many make great efforts to do so\, yet do not \nachieve it. Indeed many\, after reaching it\, have been thrust out\, since it was not \ngranted them from above. \nTherefore\, my brothers\, you should consider it certain and well- \nestablished that whoever partakes of this desirable good\, should he in any way \nlose it\, will grieve to his death\, if he has any regard or concern for the salvation of \nhis soul. \nMy dearest lay brothers\, of you I say: “My soul magnifies the Lord”. For I \nhave learned of the generosity of his mercy toward you from the report of your \nPrior and dearest father; he rejoices and takes great pride in you. And let us \nrejoice that since you are acquainted with the knowledge of letters\, almighty \nGod will inscribe in your hearts with his finger not only his love but also the \nknowledge of his holy law. By your work you show what you love and what you \nknow. When you observe true obedience with prudence and enthusiasm\, it is \nclear that you wisely pick the most delightful and nourishing fruit of divine \nScripture.
