SUMMARY:Vigils Reading - 4th Sunday of Advent
DESCRIPTION:WAIT PATIENTLY \nFOR THE LORD TO COME \nFrom a commentary by Blessed Guerric of Igny \n◊◊◊ \nOur King and Savior is coming; let us go to meet him! Good news from a \nfar country\, in the words of Solomon\, is like cold water to a thirsty soul; and to \nannounce the coming of our Savior and the reconciliation of the world\, together \nwith the good things of the life to come\, is to bring good news indeed. How \nbeautiful are the feet of those who bring good tidings and publish peace! Such \nmessengers truly bear a refreshing draught to the soul that thirsts for God; with \ntheir news of the Savior’s coming\, they joyfully draw and offer us water from the \nsprings of salvation. In the words and spirit of Elizabeth\, the soul responds to \nthe message\, whether it be of Isaiah or his fellow-prophets: Why is this granted \nto me\, that my Lord should come to me? For behold\, when the voice of your \ngreeting came to my ears\, my spirit leapt for joy within me in eager longing to \nrun ahead to meet my Lord and Savior. \nLet us too arise with joy and run in spirit to meet our Savior. Hailing him \nfrom afar\, let us worship him\, saying: Come\, Lord\, save me and I shall be saved! \nCome and show us your face\, and we shall all be saved. We have been waiting \nfor you; be our help in time of trouble. This is how the prophets and saints of old \nran to meet the Messiah\, filled with intense desire to see with their eyes\, if \npossible\, what they already saw in spirit… \nI believe that the many texts of scripture which urge us to go out to meet \nhim speak of Christ’s first coming as well as his second… Between these two \ncomings of his\, the Lord frequently visits us individually in accordance with our \nmerits and desires\, forming us to the likeness of his first coming in the flesh\, and \npreparing us for his return at the end of time. He comes to us now\, to make sure \nthat we do not lose the fruits of his first coming nor incur his wrath at his \nsecond. His purpose now is to convert our pride into the humility which he \nshowed when he first came\, so that he may refashion our lowly bodies into the \nlikeness of that glorious body which he will manifest when he comes again. \nGrace accompanied his first coming\, glory will surround his last; this \nintermediate coming is a combination of both\, enabling us to experience in the \nconsolations of his grace a sort of foretaste of his glory. Blessed are those whose \nburning love has gained for them such a privilege! \nAnd so\, my brothers\, though we have not yet experienced this wonderful \nconsolation\, we are encouraged by firm faith and a pure conscience to wait \npatiently for the Lord to come. In joy and confidence let us say with St. Paul: I \nknow the one in whom I have put my trust\, and I am confident of his power to \nguard what has been put into my charge until the day when our great God and \nSavior Jesus Christ comes in glory.
