SUMMARY:Vigils Reading - St Leo the Great
DESCRIPTION:A reading from \nST LEO THE GREAT \n◊◊◊ \nAlthough the Lord Jesus Christ is one and there is really one and the same \nperson in Him\, composed of true divinity and true humanity\, the exaltation with \nwhich God exalted Him (as the Teacher of the Gentiles says) and gave to Him a \nname superior to every other name – this exaltation\, as we know\, took place in \nthat same nature which needed enrichment by the increase of so great a \nglorification. Indeed\, in His nature as God the Son was equal to the Father; and \nthere was no distinction of essence between the Father and the Only-begotten\, \nno difference in majesty; and through the mystery of the Incarnation the Word \ndid not lose anything which the Father might restore to Him as a gift. \nBut the servile form through which the non-sentient God fulfilled the \nmystery of great and fatherly concern\, is human lowliness\, which was carried up \nto the glory of divine power. The divinity and humanity were bound together in \nso great a unity from the very time of conception by the Virgin that divine acts \nwere not done without the man and human acts were not done without God. \nFor that reason\, just as the lord of Majesty is said to have been crucified\, so He \nwho from all eternity is equal to the Father is said to have been exalted. For\, \nsince the unity of person remains inseparable\, He is one and the same – wholly \nthe Son of Man because of the flesh\, and wholly the Son of God because of the \ndivinity He has in common with the Father. Hence\, whatever Christ received in \ntime He received in his humanity\, on which are bestowed the things it did not \nhave. \nAs regards the power of the Godhead\, all that the Father has belongs also to the Son \nwithout distinction. According to His divine nature\, as the Father has life in himself\, even \nso he has given to the Son also to have life in himself. But in His servile state\, His soul is \nsad even unto death. As the Apostle teaches\, he is at once both poor and rich: rich \nbecause\, as the Evangelist says: In the beginning was the Word\, and the Word was with \nGod: and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made \nthrough him\, and without him was made nothing. But he was poor because on our \naccount the Word was made flesh\, and dwelt among us.
