SUMMARY:Vigils Reading - 2nd Sunday of Lent
DESCRIPTION:THE JUST SHALL SHINE \nLIKE THE SUN \nFrom a commentary by St Leo the Great \n◊◊◊ \nIn the presence of chosen witnesses\, the Lord unveils his glory\, investing \nwith such splendor that bodily appearance which he shares with the rest of the \nhuman race that his face shines like the sun and his clothes become white as \nsnow. \nThe primary purpose of this transfiguration was to remove the scandal of \nthe cross from the hearts of Christ’s disciples; the greatness of his hidden glory \nwas revealed to them to prevent their faith being shaken by the self-abasement \nof the suffering he was voluntarily to undergo. In his foresight\, however\, he was \nalso laying the foundations of the Church’s hope\, teaching the whole body of \nChrist the nature of the change it is to receive\, and schooling his members to \nlook forward to a share of the glory which had already shone forth in their head. \nThe Lord had told them of this when he spoke of his coming in majesty: \nThen shall the just shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. The blessed \napostle Paul bears witness to the same thing: I consider that the sufferings of \nthis present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed \nin us. And again: You have died\, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. \nWhen Christ who is your life appears\, then you will appear with him in glory. \nStill further instruction was to come from the transfiguration to fortify the \napostles and perfect their understanding. Moses and Elijah\, representing the \nlaw and the prophets. appeared in conversation with the Lord. Thus through the \npresence of these five men the saying was fulfilled: On the evidence of two or \nthree witnesses every word shall stand. What could be more firmly established \nthan that the Word in whose proclamation the trumpets of Old and New \nTestaments sound in unison\, and the writings of ancient witnesses are in perfect \naccord with the teaching of the gospel? The pages of both covenants agree with \none another. He who had been promised beforehand by mysteriously veiled \nsigns was now revealed clearly and distinctly in the radiance of his glory\, as St \nJohn says: The Law was given by Moses\, but grace and truth have come \nthrough Jesus Christ. In Christ what was promised by prophetic figures and \nwhat was signified by legal precepts are alike fulfilled\, for by his presence he \nteaches the truth of the prophecies\, and by grace he makes it possible for us to \nobey the commandments. \nMay we all therefore be confirmed in our faith through the preaching of \nthe holy Gospel\, and let no one be ashamed of the cross by which Christ has \nredeemed the world. None of us must be afraid to suffer for the sake of justice or \ndoubt the fulfillment of the prophecies\, for it is through toil that we come to rest \nand through death that we pass to life. If we continue in the acknowledgment \nand love of Christ who took upon himself all the weakness of our lowly nature\, \nwhat he conquered we too shall conquer\, and the promise he gave us we shall \nreceive. So then\, whether it is to encourage us to obey his commands or to \nendure hardships\, let the Father’s voice always be ringing in our ears and telling \nus: This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased; Listen to him.
