SUMMARY:Vigils Reading - 3r Sunday
DESCRIPTION:THE LIGHT OF CHRIST \nFrom a commentary by John Justus of Landsberg \n◊◊◊ \nThe people who walked in darkness have seen a great light. Everyone \nknows that we were all born in darkness\, and once lived in darkness. But now \nthat the Sun of Righteousness has risen for us\, let us see that we no longer \nremain in darkness. \nChrist came to enlighten those who lived in darkness\, overshadowed by \ndeath\, and to guide their feet into the way of peace. Do you ask what darkness? \nWhatever is present in our intellect\, in our will\, or in our memory that is not \nGod\, or which has not its source in God; that is to say\, whatever in us is not for \nGod’s sake\, is a barrier between God and the soul – it is darkness. \nIn himself Christ brought us light which would enable us to see our sins\, \nand hate our darkness. His freely chosen poverty\, when there was no place for \nhim in the inn\, is for us a light by which we can now learn that the poor in spirit\, \nto whom the kingdom of heaven belongs\, are blessed. \nThe love with which Christ offered himself to instruct us\, and to endure \nfor us injuries\, ostracism\, persecution\, lashes\, and death upon a cross; the love \nfinally which made him pray for those who crucified him – that love is for us a \nlight by which we may learn to love our enemies. \nThe humility with which he emptied himself\, taking the nature of a slave \n\, and with which he scorned the glory of the world\, and willed to be born\, not in a \npalace but in a stable\, and to die ignominiously on a gibbet – that humility is for \nus a light showing us what a detestable crime it is for clay\, that is to say\, for poor \nweak creatures\, to be proud\, to exalt themselves\, or to refuse submission\, when \nthe infinite God was humbled\, despised\, and subject to human beings. \nThe meekness with which Christ endured hunger\, thirst\, cold\, harsh \nwords\, lashes\, and wounds\, when he was led like a sheep to the slaughter\, and \nlike a lamb before his shearer opened not his mouth – that meekness is for us a \nlight. By it we see how useless it is to be angry\, how useless to threaten. By it we \naccept our own suffering\, and do not serve Christ merely from routine. By it we \nlearn how much is required of us\, and that when suffering comes our way we \nshould bewail our sins in silent submission\, since he endured affliction with \nsuch patience and long-suffering\, not for his own sins\, but for ours. \nReflect then\, beloved\, on all the virtues which Christ taught us by his \nexample\, which he recommends by his counsel\, and which he enables us to \nimitate by the assistance of his grace.
