SUMMARY:Vigils Reading - 19th Sunday
DESCRIPTION:AWAITING \nTHE MASTER’S RETURN \nFrom a commentary by St Gregory of Nyssa \n◊◊◊ \nWhen the Lord says: Let your loins be girded and your lamps lit\, he is \nwarning us to stay awake\, for a light shining in one’s eyes drives away sleep\, and \na tightly fastened belt also makes sleep difficult\, as the discomfort prevents \nrelaxation. But the real meaning of the parable is perfectly clear: a person girded \nwith temperance lives in the light of a clear conscience before God. And so\, with \nthe light of truth shining\, the soul stays awake and is not deceived. It does not \ndally with illusive dreams. \nIf following the guidance of the Word we attain this goal\, our lives will in a \nway be like those of the angels\, for we are compared with them on the divine \ncommand: You must be like people waiting for their master to return from a \nwedding\, ready to open the door immediately when he comes and knocks. It \nwas the angels who were awaiting the Master’s return from the wedding. They \nsat with unsleeping eyes at the heavenly gates\, so that when he returned the \nKing of glory might pass through them once more into the heavenly bliss from \nwhich\, as the psalm says\, he had come forth like a bridegroom from his tent. \nHe took us to himself as his virgin bride\, our nature once prostituted to \nidols being restored by sacramental rebirth to virginal incorruptibility. After the \nmarriage\, when the Church had been wedded to the Word – as John says\, He \nwho has the bride is the bridegroom – and admitted to the bridal chamber of \nthe sacred mysteries\, the angels awaited the King of glory’s return to the \nblessedness which is his by nature. \nAnd so the Lord said our lives should be like theirs. Just as they\, living \nlives far removed from sin and error\, are ready to receive the Lord at his coming\, \nso we also should keep watch at the entrance of our houses\, and prepare \nourselves to obey him when he comes to our door and knocks.
