SUMMARY:Vigils Reading - 17th Sunday
DESCRIPTION:THE WORD OF GOD \nFrom a commentary by St Augustine1 \n◊◊◊ \nThe miracles wrought by our Lord Jesus Christ are truly divine works\, \nwhich lead the human mind through visible things to a perception of the \nGodhead. God is not the kind of being that can be seen with the eyes\, and small \naccount is taken of the miracles by which he rules the entire universe and \ngoverns all creation because they recur so regularly. Scarcely anyone bothers to \nconsider God’s marvelous deeds\, his amazing artistry in every tiny seed. And so \ncertain works are excluded from the ordinary course of nature\, works which \nGod in his mercy has reserved for himself\, so as to perform them at appropriate \ntimes. People who hold cheap what they see every day are dumbfounded at the \nsight of extraordinary works even though they are no more wonderful than the \nothers. \nGoverning the entire universe is a greater miracle than feeding five \nthousand people with five loaves of bread\, yet no one marvels at it. People \nmarvel at the feeding of five thousand not because this miracle is greater\, but \nbecause it is out of the ordinary. \nWho is even now providing nourishment for the whole world if not the \nGod who creates a field of wheat from a few seeds? Christ did what God does. \nJust as God multiplies a few seeds into a whole field of wheat\, so Christ \nmultiplied the five loaves in his hands. For there was power in the hands of \nChrist. Those five loaves were like seeds\, not because they were cast upon the \nearth but because they were multiplied by the one who made the earth. \n  \nThis miracle was presented to our senses in order to stimulate our minds; \nit was put before our eyes in order to engage our understanding\, and so make \nus marvel at the God we do not see because of his works which we do see. For \nthen\, when we have been raised to the level of faith and purified by faith\, we \nshall long to behold\, though not with our eyes\, the invisible God whom we \nrecognize through what is visible. \nThis miracle was performed for the multitude to see; it was recorded for \nus to hear. Faith does for us what sight did for them. We behold with the mind \nwhat our eyes cannot see; and we are preferred to them. Because of us it was \nsaid: Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe. \nWhen the people saw the sign Jesus had performed\, they said: Surely \nthis must be a prophet. He was in fact the Lord of the prophets\, the fulfiller of \nthe prophets\, the sanctifier of the prophets; yet he was still a prophet\, for Moses \nhad been told: I will raise up for them a prophet like yourself. The Lord is a \nprophet\, and the Lord is the Word of God\, and without the Word of God no \nprophet can prophesy. \nThe Word of God is with the prophets\, and the Word of God is a prophet. \nPeople of former times were deemed worthy to have prophets inspired and filled \nby the Word of God; we have been deemed worthy to have as our prophet the \nWord of God Himself. \n  \n1 A Commentary on the Gospel of Mark According to St Augustine.3 \n  \n
