SUMMARY:Vigils Reading - 2nd Sunday ORD
DESCRIPTION:ONE DIED FOR ALL \nFrom a commentary by St Cyril of Alexandria \n◊◊◊ \nWhen he saw Jesus coming toward him\, John said: Behold the Lamb of \nGod\, who takes away the sin of the world.” No longer does he say: Prepare. That \nwould be out of place now that at last he who was prepared for is seen\, is before our \nvery eyes. The nature of the case now calls for a different type of homily. An \nexplanation is needed of who is present\, and why he has come down to us from \nheaven. So John says: Behold the Lamb of God\, of whom the prophet Isaiah told us \nin the words: He was led like a sheep to the slaughter\, and like a lamb before his \nshearer he opened not his mouth. \nIn past ages he was typified by the law of Moses\, but because the law was \nmerely a figure and a foreshadowing\, its salvation was only partial; its mercy did \nnot reach out to embrace the whole world. But now the true lamb\, the victim \nwithout blemish obscurely prefigured in the former times\, is led to the slaughter for \nall to banish sin from the world\, to overthrow the world’s destroyer\, to abolish \ndeath by dying for the entire human race\, and to release us from the curse: Dust \nyou are and to dust you shall return. He will become the second Adam who is not \nof earth but of heaven\, and will be for us the source of every blessing. He will deliver \nus from the corruptibility foreign to our nature; he will secure eternal life for us\, \nreconcile us with God\, teach us to revere God and to live upright lives\, and be our \nway to the kingdom of heaven. \nOur Lamb died for all to restore the whole flock on earth to God the Father; \none died for all to make all subject to God; one died for all to gain all so that all \nmight live no longer for themselves\, but for him who died and was raised to life \nfor them. \nBecause our many sins had made us subject to death and corruption\, the \nFather gave his son as our redemption\, one for all\, since we all were in him and he \nwas greater than all. One died for all so that all of us might live in him. Death \nswallowed the Lamb who was sacrificed for all\, and then disgorging him\, disgorged \nall of us in him and with him; for we were all in Christ who died and rose for us. \nOnce sin had been destroyed how could death\, which was caused by sin\, fail \nto be wholly annihilated? What power will death have over us now that sin has been \nblotted out? And so\, rejoicing in the sacrifice of the Lamb let us cry out: O death\, \nwhere is your victory? O grave\, where is your sting? All wickedness shall hold its \ntongue\, as the Psalmist sings somewhere. Henceforth it will be unable to denounce \nsinners for their weakness\, for God is the one who acquits us. Christ redeemed us \nfrom the curse of the law by becoming a curse for our sake\, so that we might \nescape the curse brought down on us by sin.
