SUMMARY:Vigils Reading - SS Basil & Gregory
DESCRIPTION:ST BASIL AND ST GREGORY \nFrom a treatise by St John Henry Newman \n◊◊◊ \nThe instruments raised up by Almighty God for the accomplishment of \nHis purposes are of two kinds\, equally gifted with faith and piety\, but from \nnatural temper and talent\, education\, or other circumstances\, differing in the \nmeans by which they promote their sacred cause. \nThe first of these are men of acute and ready mind\, with accurate \nknowledge of human nature\, and large plans\, and persuasive and attractive \nbearing\, genial\, sociable\, and popular\, endued with prudence\, patience\, \ninstinctive tact and decision in conducting matters\, as well as boldness and \nzeal… \nThere is an instrument in the hand of Providence\, of less elaborate and \nsplendid workmanship\, less rich in its political endowments\, so to call them\, yet \nnot less beautiful in its texture\, nor less precious in its material… Such\, perhaps\, \nwas Basil\, who issued from the solitudes of Pontus to rule like a king\, and \nminister like the lowest in the kingdom; yet to meet little but disappointment\, \nand to quit life prematurely in pain and sorrow. \nSuch was his friend\, the accomplished Gregory\, however different in \nother respects from him\, who left his father’s roof for an heretical city\, raised a \nchurch there\, and was driven back into retirement by his own people\, as soon as \nhis triumph over the false creed was secured… \nNo comparison is\, of course\, attempted here between the religious \nexcellence of the two descriptions of men; each of them serves God according to \n\nthe peculiar gifts given to him. If we might continue our instances by way of \ncomparison\, we should say that St Paul reminds us of the former\, and Jeremiah \nof the latter.
