SUMMARY:Vigils Reading - Baptism of the Lord
DESCRIPTION:THE KISS OF THE DOVE \nFrom a homily by Bede the Venerable \n◊◊◊ \nJohn gave testimony\, saying\,’I saw the Spirit descending like a dove \nfrom heaven\, and it rested on him’. It is good that the Spirit descended upon the \nLord in the form of a dove\, so that the faithful may learn that they cannot be \nfilled with his Spirit unless they are simple\, unless they possess true peace with \ntheir brothers and sisters\, which is signified by the kiss of doves. \nRavens also have kisses\, but they tear flesh (which a dove does not do at \nall)\, signifying those who speak peace with their neighbor\, but wicked things \nare in their hearts. A dove\, which by nature is innocent of the tearing of flesh\, \nmost suitably fits those innocents who pursue peace and sanctity with everyone\, \nsolicitous to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. And so the Spirit\, \nby descending as a dove\, does not represent merely its own innocence and \nsimplicity\, or that of him on whom it descended\, but likewise that of those who \nthink of him in goodness and seek him in simplicity of heart. \nThe Lord himself says in praise of the piety that they share with one \naccord\, and of the gentleness granted by a spiritual grace\, One is my dove; she is \nthe only one of her mother\, the elect of her progenetrix. Indeed\, he calls the \ngrace of the Spirit ‘the mother and progenetrix of the Church’. By that inspiring \ngrace she too receives the capacity of being rightly called a dove. Accordingly\, in \nHebrew\, the language in which holy scripture was set forth\, ‘spirit’ is a name \nthat is feminine in gender. On this account\, the Church is appropriately given \nthe name ‘the one dove of Christ\,’ and ‘the elect of her mother and progenetrix\,’ \nfor undoubtedly it is not because of her own merits\, but because of gift of \nspiritual grace she has received\, that she is gathered into the unity of the \nChristian faith from many nations\, that she is gladdened by a mutual dove-like \npeace\, and that she is blessed by her share in election. \n‘And I\,’ John says\,‘was not aware of him’. You understand what is \nimplied: ‘I did not recognize him as sublimely as I recognized him when the \nSpirit descended upon him’. ‘But he who sent me to baptize with water said to \nme\, “The one upon whom you will see the Spirit descending and resting upon \nhim\, he it is who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.”‘ The Lord baptizes with the \nHoly Spirit\, pardoning sins through the gift of the Holy Spirit. For either he \nwould first baptize some of his disciples with water\, through whom the river of \nbaptism would flow to the rest of the faithful; he would baptize them too with \nthe Spirit by unloosing them from their sins and administering the gifts of the \nSpirit – or else his faithful\, calling upon his name\, would baptize the elect with \nwater and anoint them with sacred chrism. \nNevertheless\, he himself baptizes them in the Holy Spirit\, for no one \nexcept him is capable of releasing the bonds of sins or of bestowing the gifts of \nthe Holy Spirit.
