SUMMARY:Vigils Reading - 21st Sunday
DESCRIPTION:OUR ONE AND ONLY TEACHER \nFrom a commentary by St Cyril of Alexandria1 \n◊◊◊ \nTo whom shall we go? In other words\, “Who else will instruct us the way \nyou do?” or\, “To whom shall we go to find anything better?” You have the words \nof eternal life; not hard words\, as those other disciples say\, but words that will \nbring us to the loftiest goal\, unceasing\, endless life removed from all corruption. \nThese words surely make quite obvious to us the necessity for sitting at the feet \nof Christ\, taking him as our one and only teacher\, and giving him our constant \nand undivided attention. He must be our guide who knows well how to lead us \nto eternal life. Thus\, shall we ascend to the divine court of heaven\, and entering \nthe church of the firstborn\, delight in blessings passing all human \nunderstanding. \nThat the desire to follow Christ alone and to be with him always is a good \nthing leading to our salvation is entirely self-evident\, yet we may learn this from \nthe Old Testament as well. When the Israelites had shaken off Egyptian tyranny \nand were hastening toward the promised land\, God did not allow them to make \ndisorderly marches\, nor did the lawgiver let each one go where he would\, for \nwithout a guide they would undoubtedly lose the way completely. They were \nordered to follow: to set out with the cloud\, to come to a halt again with it\, and \nto rest with it. Keeping with their guide was the Israelites’ salvation then\, just \nas not leaving Christ is ours now. For he was with those people of old under the \nform of the tabernacle\, the cloud and the fire. \nThey were commanded to follow\, and not to undertake the journey on \ntheir own initiative. They were to halt with the cloud and to abide with it\, that \nby this symbol you might understand Christ’s words: Whoever serves me must \nfollow me\, so as to be with me wherever I am. For being always in his company\,3 \nmeans being steadfast in following him and constant in cleaving to him. But \naccompanying the Savior Christ and f0llowing him is by no means to be thought \nof something done by the body. It is accomplished rather by deeds springing \nfrom virtue. \nUpon such virtue the wisest disciples firmly fixed their minds and refused \nto depart with the unbelievers\, which they saw would be fatal. With good reason \nthey cried out: “Where shall we go?” It was as though they said: “We will stay \nwith you always and hold fast to your commandments. We will receive your \nwords without finding fault or thinking your teaching hard as the ignorant do\, \nbut thinking rather\, How sweet are your words to my throat! Sweeter to my \nmouth are they than honey or the honeycomb.”
