SUMMARY:Vigils Reading - Bl Ogier of Locedio
DESCRIPTION:THE CONTAINER \nOF ALL VIRTUES \nFrom a sermon by Blessed Ogier of Locedio \n◊◊◊ \nFor a long time I have been impelled by a work of love: it was the desire to \ncreate a work on the Word of God. I realize that I am thoroughly unworthy of \nthis\, and yet I find that I am filled with the sweetness of the heavenly honey \nwhich the heavens dropped down from the face of God on Sinai. And behold in \norder to be able to fulfill my desires\, I am presented with this exquisite vase\, this \ncontainer of all virtues\, this vessel of election\, wherein the fullness of the \ndivinity came to dwell. Yes\, this is the golden vessel\, the solid vessel\, adorned \nwith all precious jewels\, charged with life\, with eternal blessedness\, filled with \nmyrrh\, aloes and balm and every possible scent; a vessel adorned with ivory and \ngems of sapphire\, containing Him Who is both the Alpha and the Omega\, the \nBeginning and the End. \nI wish to speak of that beautiful Virgin who gave to the world its Creator. \nShe is worthy of being praised by every mouth even though they are not worthy \nto praise her. But I must acknowledge to all who may take up my writings that I \nam not worthy to praise her\, and even unworthy to pronounce her name. \nNevertheless even this realization does not stop me\, for the ardor of heart \nsprings forth to compensate and it neither can nor should restrain from praising \nher whom the angels and archangels and all the heavenly choirs praise as being \nthe one who gave to the world its Creator\, the author of all things\, by becoming \nHis mother. \nFor charity draws me to this\, love finds satiety\, and the benefit which will \ncome to myself impels me. Let my tongue cleave to my pallet if I do not \nremember her; if I do not place her immediately after her Son as the source of \nmy joy; in order that she may be mindful of me on the day of Jerusalem\, that she \nmay become my repose in the time of tribulation\, and that I may be borne to the \npeople in those arms which held her own Son. For this reason with praise I am \ngoing to praise her all the days of my life; I am going to sing her praises as long \nas I live. May my words be pleasing to her and in her I will take my delight. \nMay He enable me to accomplish this which He has inspired in me\, Jesus \nChrist her Son\, our Lord\, Who lives and reigns with the Father and the Holy \nSpirit through all ages.
