SUMMARY:Vigils Reading - Exaltation of the Holy Cross
DESCRIPTION:THE VICTORY \nOF THE CROSS \nBy St Chromatius of Aquileia \n◊◊◊ \nThe Cross of Christ is our victory\, because it has obtained victory for us. \nWho among us are so fortunate as to deserve to bear in themselves the cross of \nChrist? They bear the cross of Christ in themselves who die to the world and are \nnailed with Christ to the Cross. Listen to what the Apostle says: “With Christ I \nam crucified; I live\, yet it is no longer I who live\, but Christ who lives in me.” \nThose therefore who are free from the vices of the flesh and worldly desires are\, \nas the Apostle says\, crucified with Christ. Those on the other hand who are given \nover to vices of the flesh and worldly desires cannot say: “I am crucified with \nChrist”\, for they do not live the way that Christ did\, but according to the fashion \nof the world and the will of the devil. \nThe cross of Christ is the salvation of the world and the triumphal sign of \nheaven’s victory. In times past\, when great kings had won a brilliant victory over \nvanquished nations\, they used to set up a trophy of their victory in the form of a \ncross and hang spoils taken from the enemy upon it as a permanent reminder. \nThe victory won by Christ’s cross is far different. The victory of those kings \nmeant the extermination of peoples\, the destruction of cities\, the sacking of \nprovinces. The victory of the cross means nations ransomed\, cities saved\, \nprovinces liberated\, the entire world made safe. Nothing is destroyed but the \npower of the devil\, no one taken captive but the demons\, for the cross of Christ \nredeemed the world and took the demons prisoner. It is spoils taken from the \ndemons that are hung on the triumphal cross of Christ. Today the demons hang \non the cross of Christ which has become their torment and torture; they are held \ncaptive by faith in the cross\, by the sign of the passion. \nChrist suffered evil and repaid it with good; he suffered death and gave \nlife. Not without reason was he crucified on the spot where Adam’s body is said \nto have been buried; Christ was crucified where Adam was buried in order that \nlife might thus rise out of death. Death came through Adam\, life through Christ\, \nwho deigned to be crucified and to die precisely in order to destroy through the \ntree of the cross the sin that had been caused by a tree\, and by the mystery of his \ndeath to put an end to the punishment of death.
