SUMMARY:Vigils Reading
DESCRIPTION:THE CENOBITIC LIFE \nFrom the writing of Baldwin of Ford.1 \n◊◊◊ \nThe common life of the angels is a sort of copy of that common life which \nis in God\, of God\, and is God. It is united in perfect peace by the Holy Spirit\, \nwho is its love\, its bond\, and its communion. ‘By the word of the Lord the \nheavens were established\, and all their virtue by the spirit of his mouth.’ The \nheavens are the angels in whom God dwells as their common life and common \nblessedness\, and in his love they live in concord and happiness. Each of them \nloves all the others\, and all of them love each; they all want the same things and \nall are averse to the same things; what pleases one is displeasing to none\, and \nwhat one wants\, they all want. There is one purpose and one will for all; all feel \nthe same thing\, and all sense the same thing. \nThere is no one here puffed up with pride\, no one consumed with envy\, \nno outbursts of anger\, no quarrels or discord\, no murmurs of impatience\, and \nno one is defamed by treacherous tongues. Here all is at peace\, all is calm\, all is \ntranquil. There is nothing disordered\, nothing undisciplined\, nothing contrary \nto order or obedience\, nothing secretly put away with the intention of keeping \nit for oneself. Everything is open and aboveboard\, everything is plain\, and \nthings which are proper to each individual are common to all through the \nsharing of love and the love of sharing. They are all [assembled] in one temple \nand raise their shouts of joy to God in common; all at the same time read and \nmeditate and contemplate in the book of life; and they all refresh themselves \ncommunally at one and the same table. They take their rest together in the place \nof eternal repose\, and there is no one who does anything on his own which can \ndisturb or damage their common peace\, obedience\, or order. \nSuch is the fellowship— the happiest and most joyous [of fellowships] — \nof the citizens of the realms above who live the common life\, and we who are \nstill upon earth should follow their way of life by [living] the common life after \ntheir example. Thus\, we might deserve to be joined with them in intimate \ncompanionship\, a companionship which will be the more intimate the more it \nis granted us from above to imitate their life\, through the grace of our Lord \nJesus Christ\, the charity of God\, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit.
