SUMMARY:Vigils Reading - 22nd Sunday Ordinary time
DESCRIPTION:HUMILITY AND HOLINESS \nFrom a commentary by St Bruno of Segni \n◊◊◊ \nInvited to a wedding feast\, the Lord looked around and noticed how all \nwere choosing the first and most honorable places\, each person wanting to take \nprecedence over the others and to be raised above them. He told them this \nparable\, which even taken literally is most useful and appropriate for all who \nlike to be honored\, and fear being put to shame. To those of lower station it \naccords courtesy\, and to those of higher condition respect. However\, since it is \ncalled a parable\, it must have some other interpretation besides the literal one. \nLet us see then what this wedding feast is\, and who are the people invited to it. \nThis wedding feast takes place in the Church every day. Every day the \nLord makes a wedding feast\, for every day he unites faithful souls to himself\, \nsome coming to be baptized\, others leaving this world for the kingdom of \nheaven. We are all invited to this wedding feast – all of us who have received \nfaith in Christ and the seal of baptism. This table set before us is that of which it \nis said: You have prepared a table before me in the sight of those who trouble \nme. Here is the showbread\, here the fatted calf\, here the lamb who takes away \nthe sins of the world. Here is the living bread come down from heaven\, here \nplaced before us is the chalice of the New Covenant\, here are the gospels and the \nletters of the apostles\, here the books of Moses and the prophets. It is as though \na dish containing every delight was brought and set before us. What more can \nwe desire? What reason is there for choosing the first seats? There is plenty for \nall no matter where we sit. There is nothing we shall lack. \nBut whoever you may be who still desire the first place here – go and sit in \nthe last place. Do not be lifted up by pride\, inflated by knowledge\, elated by \nnobility\, but the greater you are the more you must humble yourself in every \nway\, and you will find grace with God. In his own time he will say to you: Friend\, \ngo up higher\, and then you will be honored by all who sit at table with you. \nMoses sat in the last place whenever he had the choice. When the Lord wishing \nto send him to the Israelites\, invited him to take a higher place\, his answer was: \nI beg you\, Lord\, send someone else. I am not a good speaker. It was the same as \nsaying: “I am not worthy of so great an office.” Saul\, too\, was of small account in \nhis own eyes when the Lord made him king. And Jeremiah\, similarly\, was afraid \nof rising to the first place: Ah\, Lord\, God\, he said\, look\, I cannot speak – I am \nonly a child. \nIn the church\, then\, the first seat\, or the highest place\, is to be sought not \nby ambition but by humility; not by money but by holiness.
