SUMMARY:Vigils Reading - 28th Sunday
DESCRIPTION:A reading from \nST AUGUSTINE \n◊◊◊ \nAll believers are familiar with the story of the wedding of the king’s son \nand the banquet that followed it\, and of how the Lord’s table was thrown open to \nall comers. When everyone was seated the master of the house came in to see \nthe guests\, and among them he noticed one without a wedding garment. So he \nsaid to him\, “My friend\, how did you get in here without a wedding garment?” \nNow what precisely does this mean? Let us try to find out what it is that \nsome believers have\, but which the wicked lack\, for that will be what the \nwedding garment is. \nCan it be one of the sacraments? Hardly\, for these\, as we know\, are \ncommon to good and bad alike. Take baptism for example. It is true that no one \ncomes to God except through baptism\, but not every baptized person comes to \nhim. We cannot take this sacrament as the wedding garment\, then\, for it is a \nrobe worn not only by good people but also by wicked people. Perhaps\, then\, it is \nour altar that is meant\, or at least what we receive from it. But we know that \nmany who approach the altar eat and drink to their own damnation. Well\, then\, \nmaybe it is fasting? The wicked can fast too. What about going to church? Some \nbad people also go to church. \nWhatever can this wedding garment be\, then? For an answer we must go \nto the Apostle who says: The purpose of our command is to arouse the love that \nsprings from a pure heart\, a clear conscience\, and a genuine faith. There is \nyour wedding garment. It is not love of just any kind. Many people of bad \nconscience appear to love one another\, but you will not find in them the love \nthat springs from a pure heart\, a clear conscience\, and a genuine faith. Only \nthat kind of love is the wedding garment. \nIf I speak in the tongues of men and angels\, says the Apostle\, but have no \nlove\, I am nothing but a booming gong or a clashing cymbal. If I have the gift \nof prophecy\, if I have all knowledge and understand all mysteries\, if I have \nfaith strong enough to move mountains\, but have no love\, I am nothing. In \nother words\, even with all these gifts I am nothing without Christ. Does that \nmean that prophecy has no value and that knowledge of mysteries is worthless? \nNo\, they are not worthless but I am\, if I possess them but have no love. \nBut can the lack of one good thing rob so many others of their value? Yes\, \nwithout love my confession of the name of Christ even by shedding my blood or \noffering my body to be burnt will avail me nothing\, for I may do this out of a \ndesire for glory. That such things can be endured for the sake of empty show \nwithout any real love for God the Apostle also declares. Listen to him: If I give \naway all I have to the poor\, if I hand over my body to be burnt\, but have no \nlove\, it will avail me nothing. So this is what the wedding garment is. Examine \nyourselves to see whether you possess it. If you do\, your place at the Lord’s table \nis secure.
