SUMMARY:Vigils Reading
DESCRIPTION:A reading from “The First Apology in Defense of the Christians” by \nST JUSTIN MARTYR \n◊◊◊ \nNone may share the Eucharist with us unless they believe that what we \nteach is true; unless they are washed in the regenerating waters of Baptism for \nthe remission of their sins; and unless they live in accordance with the \nprinciples given us by Christ. \nWe do not consume the eucharistic bread and wine as ordinary food and \ndrink\, for we have been taught that as Jesus Christ our Saviour became a man of \nflesh and blood by the power of the Word of God\, so also the food that our flesh \nand blood assimilates for its nourishment becomes the flesh and blood of the \nincarnate Jesus by the power of his own words contained in the prayer of \nthanksgiving. \nThe Apostles in their recollections\, which are called Gospels\, handed \ndown to us what Jesus commanded them to do. They tell us that he took bread\, \ngave thanks and said: Do this in memory of me\, this is my body. In the same \nway he took the cup\, he gave thanks and said: This is my blood\, and he \ndistributed it only to them. Ever since then we have constantly reminded one \nanother of these things. The rich among us help the poor and we are always \nunited. For all that we receive we praise the Creator of the universe through his \nSon Jesus Christ and through the Holy Spirit. \nOn Sunday we have a common assembly of all our members\, whether they \nlive in the city or in the outlying districts. The recollections of the Apostles or the \nwritings of the prophets are read as long as time permits. When the reader has \nfinished\, the president of the assembly speaks to us\, urging everyone to imitate \nthe examples of virtue we have heard about in the readings. Then we all stand up \ntogether and pray. \nOn the conclusion of our prayer\, bread and wine and water are brought \nforward. The president offers prayers and gives thanks to the best of his ability\, \nand the people give their assent by saying\, ‘Amen’. The Eucharist is distributed\, \neveryone present communicates\, and the Deacons take it to those who are \nabsent. \nThe wealthy if they wish may make a contribution\, and they themselves \ndecide the amount. The collection is placed in the custody of the president\, who \nuses it to help the orphans and widows and all who for any reason are in distress\, \nwhether because they are sick\, in prison\, or away from home. In a word\, he takes \ncare of all who are in need. \nWe hold our common assembly on Sunday because it is the first day of the \nweek the day on which God put darkness and chaos to flight and created the \nworld\, and because on that same day our Saviour Jesus Christ rose from the \ndead. For he was crucified on Friday and on Sunday he appeared to his Apostles \nand disciples and taught them the things that we have passed on for your \nconsideration.

SUMMARY:Vigils Reading - 6th Sunday of Easter
DESCRIPTION:A reading from \nST JOHN CHRYSOSTOM \n◊◊◊ \nIf you love me\, said Christ\, keep my commandments. I have commanded \nyou to love one another and to treat one another as I have treated you. To love \nme is to obey these commands\, to submit to me your beloved. And I will ask the \nfather\, and he will give you another Counselor. This promise shows once again \nChrist’s consideration. Because his disciples did not yet know who he was\, it was \nlikely that they would greatly miss his companionship\, his teaching\, his actual \nphysical presence\, and be completely disconsolate when he had gone. Therefore \nhe said: I will ask the Father\, and he will give you another Counselor\, meaning \nanother like himself. \nThey received the Spirit after Christ had purified them by his sacrifice. \nThe Spirit did not come down on them while Christ was still with them\, because \nthis sacrifice had not yet been offered. But when sin had been blotted out and \nthe disciples\, sent out to face danger\, were preparing themselves for the battle\, \nthey needed the Holy Spirit’s coming to encourage them. If you ask why the \nSpirit did not come immediately after the resurrection\, this was in order to \nincrease their gratitude for receiving him by increasing their desire. They were \ntroubled by nothing as long as Christ was with them\, but when his departure \nhad left them desolate and very much afraid\, they would be most eager to \nreceive the Spirit. \nHe will remain with you\, Christ said\, meaning his presence with you will \nnot be ended by death. But since there was a danger that hearing of a Counselor \nmight lead them to expect another incarnation and to think they would be able \nto see the Holy Spirit\, he corrected this idea saying: The world cannot receive \nhim because it does not see him. For he will not be with you in the same way as I \nam\, but will dwell in your very souls\, He will be in you. \nChrist called him the Spirit of truth because the Spirit would help them to \nunderstand the types of the old law. By He will be with you he meant\, He will be \nwith you as I am with you\, but he also hinted at the difference between them\, \nnamely\, that the Spirit would not suffer as he had done\, nor would he ever \ndepart… \nHe said that the Spirit was another like himself\, that he would not leave \nthem\, that he would come to them just as he himself had come\, and that he \nwould remain in them. Yet even this did not drive away their sadness\, for they \nstill wanted Christ himself and his companionship. So to satisfy them he said: I \nwill not leave you orphans; I will come back to you. Do not be afraid\, for when I \npromised to send you another counselor I did not mean that I was going to \nabandon you for ever\, nor by saying that he would remain with you did I mean \nthat I would not see you again. Of course I also will come to you; I will not leave \nyou orphans.

SUMMARY:Vigils Reading - Holy Abbots of Cluny
DESCRIPTION:A reading from a letter of St Bernard to Pope Eugenius\, on behalf of \nPETER THE VENERABLE \n◊◊◊ \nIt would be silly for me to write you on behalf of the Lord Abbot of Cluny\, \nto act as if I wanted to befriend a man whom the entire world befriends. But \nalthough he does not need me to write on his behalf\, I am nevertheless doing so \nin order to satisfy my affection for him\, for this purpose alone and no other. \nAlthough I cannot accompany him in body I shall be with him in spirit on his \npilgrimage to Rome. Nothing can separate us\, not the height of the Alps\, nor the \ncold of the snows\, nor the long distance of the journey. And I am present to him \nnow\, stretching out my hand to him in this letter. He cannot go anywhere \nwithout me because I am so much in his debt for the favor of his friendship. But \nhis favor itself acquits me of the debt\, for what was a duty has become a \npleasure. \nHonor this man as an honorable member of Christ’s body. He is a vessel \nfit for all honorable employment\, a vessel full of grace and truth\, full of all \nmanner of good things. Send him back with joy to rejoice the hearts of many by \nhis return. Show him great favor\, so that when he returns we may all receive of \nhis fullness. He should\, of course\, find no difficulty in obtaining from you \nanything he asks for in the name of the Lord Jesus. For\, if you do not know it\, he \nit is that holds out his hands to the poor of our Order; he it is that freely and \nfrequently\, as far as he may without offending his own people\, supports our \nbrethren from the possessions of his monastery. \nBut let me explain why I say “in the name of the Lord Jesus.” It is because \nI fear and suspect he may ask to be released from the rule of his monastery; and \nno one who knows him would consider this a petition made in the name of \nJesus. I am very much mistaken if he is not more self-effacing than usual\, if he \nhas not become more perfect since he last saw you\, although it is well known \nthat almost from the first instant of assuming office he reformed his Order in \nmany ways\, in the matter\, for instance\, of fasting\, silence\, and costly and curious \nclothing.

SUMMARY:Vigils Reading
DESCRIPTION:A reading from “Lumen Gentium” of \nTHE SECOND VATICAN COUNCIL \n◊◊◊ \nThe Lord Jesus\, having prayed at length to the Father\, called to himself \nthose he desired and appointed twelve to be with him\, whom he might send to \npreach the kingdom of God. These Apostles he established in the form of a \nCollege or permanent assembly\, at the head of which he placed Peter who was \nchosen from amongst them. He sent them first of all to the children of Israel and \nthen to all peoples\, so that\, sharing in his power\, they might make all peoples his \ndisciples and sanctify and govern them. Thus they would spread the Church\, \nadminister it under the guidance of the Lord\, and shepherd it until the end of \nthe world. They were fully confirmed in this mission on the day of Pentecost \naccording to the Lord’s promise: You will receive power when the Holy Spirit \ndescends on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea \nand Samaria\, and to the ends of the earth. \nSo\, just as by the Lord’s decree St Peter and the rest of the Apostles \nconstitute a unique apostolic College\, so the Roman Pontiff\, Peter’s successor\, \nand the Bishops\, the successors of the Apostles\, are related with and united to \none another. By ancient discipline the Bishops throughout the whole world lived \nin communion with one another and with the Roman Pontiff in a bond of unity\, \ncharity and peace; they also held Councils in order to settle together\, in a \ndecision rendered balanced and equitable by the advice of many\, all questions of \nmajor importance. \nBoth these facts show clearly the collegiate character and structure of the \nepiscopal order\, which is confirmed by the holding of Ecumenical Councils in \nthe course of the centuries. Indeed\, pointing to it also quite clearly is the custom\, \ndating from very early times\, of summoning a number of Bishops to take part in \nthe elevation of one newly chosen to the highest sacerdotal office. A man is \nmade a member of the episcopal body by sacramental consecration and \nhierarchical communion with the head and members of the College. \nThis College\, composed of many members\, is the expression of the \ndiversity and universality of the People of God. It also shows the unity of the \nflock of Christ because it is assembled under one head. In it the Bishops\, whilst \nloyally respecting the primacy and preeminence of their head\, exercise their \nown proper authority for the good of their faithful and of the whole Church\, \nwhose organic structure and harmony are strengthened by the continued \ninfluence of the Holy Spirit. \nThe supreme authority over the whole Church\, which this College \npossesses\, is exercised in a solemn way in an Ecumenical Council. Every \nEcumenical Council is confirmed or at least recognized as such by the successor \nof Peter and it is the prerogative of the Roman Pontiff to convoke such Councils\, \nto preside over them and to confirm them.

SUMMARY:Vigils Reading - Our Lady of Fatima
DESCRIPTION:A reading from \nPOPE ST JOHN PAUL II \n◊◊◊ \nSince the time when Jesus\, dying on the cross\, said to John: “Behold your \nMother“\, since the time when “the disciple took her into his home”\, the mystery \nof Mary’s spiritual motherhood had its fulfillment in history with an amplitude \nwithout boundaries. Motherhood means concern for her son’s life. Now\, if Mary \nis the mother of all people\, her concern for human life is universal in scope… \nThe spiritual motherhood of Mary is therefore participation in the power of the \nHoly Spirit\, the One who “gives life.” It is with the humble service of the one who \nsays of herself: “Behold I am the handmaid of the Lord“. \nIn the light of the mystery of Mary’s spiritual motherhood\, let us \nunderstand the extraordinary message\, which began to resonate in the world by \nFatima since May 13\, 1917 and lasted for five months until October 13 of the \nsame year. If the Church has embraced the message of Fatima it is mainly \nbecause it contains a truth and a call\, which in their essential content is the truth \nand the call of the Gospel itself. \n“Repent and believe in the Gospel“\, these are the first words of the \nMessiah addressed to humanity. The message of Fatima is in its core a call to \nconversion and penance… The call to repentance is maternal and at the same \ntime\, strong and determined. The love that “rejoices in the truth“\, knows how to \nbe outspoken and determined… Can the Mother\, who with all the power of her \nlove\, which fosters in the Holy Spirit and desires the salvation of every person\, \nkeep quiet about what undermines the very foundations of this salvation? No\, \nshe cannot! \nThe Immaculate Heart of Mary\, opened by the word: “Woman\, behold \nyour son“\, meets spiritually with the Heart of the Son opened by the soldier’s \nlance. Mary’s Heart was opened by the same love for mortals and for the world\, \nwith which Christ has loved humanity and the world\, offering Himself on the \nCross for them. To consecrate the world to the Immaculate Heart of the Mother \nmeans returning beneath the Cross of her Son. More it means consecrating this \nworld to the pierced Heart of the Savior\, bringing the very source of his \nredemption. Redemption is always greater than the sin of man and the “sin of \nthe world.”… The Heart of the Mother is aware of this\, as no one else in the \nwhole universe\, visible and invisible… \nThe Mother of Christ calls us and invites us to join the Church of the living \nGod in the consecration of the world\, this reliance by which the world\, \nhumanity\, nations\, all people are offered to the Eternal Father with the power of \nChrist’s redemption. They are offered in the pierced Heart of the Redeemer on \nthe Cross… \nThe appeal of the Lady of Fatima is so deeply rooted in the Gospel and in \nthe whole of tradition that the Church feels committed by this message. Yes\, we \ncan truly say: “Blessed are you\, daughter\, in front of the Most High God above \nall women on earth!”… Yes\, here and throughout the Church\, in the heart of \nevery man and in the whole world you are blessed Mary\, our sweet Mother!

SUMMARY:Vigils Reading - St Matthias
DESCRIPTION:A reading from \nST JOHN HENRY NEWMAN \n◊◊◊ \n<The feast of St Matthias> is the only day which is to be celebrated with \nmingled feelings of joy and pain. It records the fall as well as the election of an \nApostle. St Matthias was chosen in place of the traitor Judas. In the history of \nthe latter we have the warning recorded in very deed\, which our Lord in the text \ngives us in word\, “Hold that fast which thou hast\, that no man take thy crown.” \nAnd doubtless many were the warnings such as this\, addressed by our Lord to \nthe wretched man who in the end betrayed him. \nThe reflection which rises in the mind on a consideration of the election of \nSt Matthias\, is this: how easily God may affect His purposes without us\, and put \nothers in our place\, if we are disobedient to Him. It often happens that those \nwho have long been in His favor grow secure and presuming. They think their \nsalvation certain\, and their service necessary to Him who has graciously \naccepted it. Now\, this feeling of self-importance is repressed all through the \nScriptures\, and especially by the events we commemorate today. \nWhat solemn overpowering thoughts must have crowded on St Matthias\, \nwhen he received the greetings of the eleven Apostles\, and took his seat among \nthem as their brother! His very election was a witness against himself if he did \nnot fulfill it. And such surely will ours be in our degree. We take the place of \nothers who have gone before\, as Matthias did; we are “baptized for the dead\,” \nfilling up the ranks of soldiers\, some of whom\, indeed\, have fought a good fight\, \nbut many of whom in every age have made void their calling. Many are called\, \nfew are chosen. The monuments of sin and unbelief are set up around us. The \ncasting away of the Jews was the reconciling of the Gentiles. The fall of one \nnation is the conversion of another. The Church loses old branches and gains \nnew. God works according to His own inscrutable pleasure… \nThus the Christian of every age is but the successor of the lost and of the \ndead. How long we of this country shall be put in trust with Gospel\, we know \nnot; but while we have the privilege\, assuredly we do but stand in the place of \nChristians who have either utterly fallen away\, or are so corrupted as scarcely to \nlet their light shine before others. We are at present witnesses of the Truth; and \nour very glory is our warning. By the superstitions\, the profanities\, the \nindifference\, the unbelief of the world called “Christian”\, we are called upon to \nbe lowly-minded while we preach aloud\, and to tremble while we rejoice. Let us \nthen\, as a Church and as individuals\, one and all\, look to Him who alone can \nkeep us from falling. Let us with single heart look up to Christ our Saviour\, and \nput ourselves into His hands\, from whom all our strength and wisdom is \nderived.

SUMMARY:Vigils Reading - St Pachomius
DESCRIPTION:A reading from \nTHOMAS MERTON \n◊◊◊ \nObedience is the distinctive factor of the new [communal] monasticism of \nSt Pachomius. The whole Pachomian structure is [actually] built on obedience\, \n[which] is not just the docility of the hermit to a director\, but the lifelong \nobedience of the subject to the superior\, as well as of the son to the Father. It \nimplies a real concept of self-emptying and subjection\, a real renunciation of \none’s own freedom\, “for keeps.” Accordingly\, all are to obey the Rule\, superiors \nand subjects. No one in the monastery is to follow his own will. [Even] the heads \nof houses and their assistants\, [for example\,] had to weave a certain number of \nbaskets in a certain time\, as a norm for the others to meet… \nHowever\, the superior must command\, and he is to be obeyed as God. \nFurthermore\, the brethren are to obey one another\, but above all the superiors. \nIn commanding\, the superior himself obeys God who wants him to command \naccording to the Rule. All must obey meekly and willingly\, without murmuring. \nUnwillingness and resistance show lack of faith and seriously affect the spiritual \nvitality of the mystery of the common life. It is not just an individual defect\, it \naffects the community. \nObedience is the highest value—with charity—in the common life. It is \n“greater than sacrifices.” That is to say that emphasis is systematically placed on \nwhat is enjoined by obedience\, over what may be inspired by our own \nspontaneous religious desires\, however good [they may be in and of \nthemselves]. This is another fundamental principle [of communal monastic \nlife\,] of cenobitism. What is enjoined in the name of the community…leads to \nlife much more surely and effectively than what is merely suggested by \nindividual inspiration… \nTo illustrate the importance this\, Pachomius burned 500 mats that had \nbeen woven by the cook in the kitchen\, while he was cooking. He had been \nordered to cook only\, not ordered to weave mats. Work over and above what was \none’s duty was not acceptable\, because it was outside obedience. Hence\, works \nof extra sacrifice are acceptable only when the approval of obedience brings \nthem within the ambit of the common will and the common life. When a good \nwork\, of personal choice\, is approved by the superior\, then it becomes part of \nthe common spiritual striving and merit of the community—it becomes a work \nof Christ. But any work\, however good\, that is deliberately kept out of and apart \nfrom the common life stream\, ceases to be a work of Christ. Hence it is not \nblessed. Hence it is a potential danger\, to the individual and to the community. \nLastly\, obedience is according to the Rule: there is no longer any purely \nsubjective and arbitrary command permitted. In commanding\, the superior \nmust himself obey the Abba\, the founder\, and carry on the founder’s will… The \nRule represents the personal thought and desire of Abba Pachomius\, and is not \na mere legal document. \nThus\, obedience\, for Pachomius\, strikes deep into the heart of the \n“mystery” of common life. If superiors do their own will and inferiors merely \ncomply with that will\, then there is not yet a religious mystery. This [mystery] \nis constituted by the participation of all in the sacrifice and obedience of \nChrist\, in His self-emptying. All have renounced their will. When this \nhappens in a community\, the Holy Spirit then breathes in and through all its \nmembers.

SUMMARY:Vigils Reading
DESCRIPTION:A reading from “On the Sacraments” by \nST AMBROSE \n◊◊◊ \nYou were asked: ‘Do you believe in God the Father almighty?’ You replied: \n‘I believe’\, and you were immersed: that is\, buried. You were asked for a second \ntime: ‘Do you believe in our Lord Jesus Christ and in his Cross?’ You replied: ‘I \nbelieve’\, and you were immersed: which means that you were buried with \nChrist. For one who is buried with Christ rises again with Christ. You were asked \na third time: ‘Do you believe also in the Holy Spirit?’ You replied: ‘I believe’\, and \nyou were immersed a third time\, so that the threefold confession might absolve \nthe manifold lapses of the past. \nWe can give you an illustration of this. The holy Apostle Peter appeared to \nlapse through human weakness during the Lord’s Passion. To wipe out and \nabsolve the fault of his denial\, he was asked by Christ three times if he loved \nhim. Peter replied: Lord\, you know that I love you. He answered three times so \nas to be absolved three times. \nThus the Father forgives sin\, so does the Son\, and so does the Holy Spirit. \nDo not be surprised that we are baptized in one name: in the name\, that is\, of the \nFather and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit; because Christ spoke of only one \nname where there is one substance\, one divinity\, one majesty. This is the name \nof which it is written: In this must all find salvation. It is in this name that you \nhave all been saved\, that you have been restored to the grace of life. \nSo the Apostle exclaims\, as you have just heard in the reading\, Whoever is \nbaptized\, is baptized in the death of Jesus. What does in the death mean? It \nmeans that just as Christ died\, so you will taste death; that just as Christ died to \nsin and lives to God\, so through the Sacrament of Baptism you are dead to the \nold enticements of sin and have risen again through the grace of Christ. This is a \ndeath\, then\, not in the reality of bodily death\, but in likeness. When you are \nimmersed\, you receive the likeness of death and burial\, you receive the \nSacrament of his Cross; because Christ hung upon the Cross and his body was \nfastened to it by the nails. So you are crucified with him. \nThe font has the shape and appearance of a sort of tomb. When we believe \nin the Father\, the Son and the Holy Spirit\, we are received and immersed in it; \nthat is\, we are restored to life. You also receive the myrrh\, that is\, the chrism\, \nover your heads. Why over your heads? Because the faculties of the wise man \nare situated in his head\, says Solomon. Wisdom without grace is inert; but \nwhen wisdom receives grace\, then its work begins to move toward fulfillment. \nThis is called regeneration. \nWhat is regeneration? You can read in the Acts of the Apostles that a verse \nfrom the second Psalm\, You are my son\, today I have begotten you\, seems to \nrefer to the Resurrection. That is why he is also called The firstborn from the \ndead. For what is resurrection except that we rise from death to life? So it is in \nBaptism\, which is an image of death: when you are immersed and rise up again\, \nthere\, certainly\, is an image of the Resurrection. So as Christ’s Resurrection is \ninterpreted by the Apostle as a regeneration\, so also this resurrection from the \nfont is a regeneration.

SUMMARY:Ascension of the Lord
DESCRIPTION:A reading from\nST GREGORY OF NYSSA 1\n◊◊◊\nThe Gospel describes the Lord’s life upon earth and his return to heaven. But the sublime prophet David\, as though unencumbered by the weight of his body\, rose above himself to mingle with the heavenly powers and record for us their words as they accompanied the Master when he came down from heaven. Ordering the angels on earth entrusted with the care of human life to raise the gates\, they cried: Lift up your gates\, you princes; be lifted up you everlasting doors. Let the King of glory enter. \nBut because wherever he is\, he who contains all things in himself makes himself like those who receive him\, not only becoming a man among men\, but also when among angels conforming his nature to theirs\, the gatekeepers asked: Who is this King of glory? He is the strong one\, they were told\, mighty in battle\, the one who is to grapple with and overthrow the captor of the human race who has the power of death. When this last enemy has been destroyed\, he will restore us to freedom and peace. \nNow the mystery of Christ’s death is fulfilled\, victory is won\, and the Cross\, the sign of triumph\, is raised on high. He who gives us the noble gifts of life and a kingdom has ascended into heaven\, leading captivity captive. Therefore the same command is repeated. Once more the gates of heaven must open for him. Our guardian angels\, who have now become his escorts\, order them to be flung wide so that he may enter and regain his former glory. \nBut he is not recognized in the soiled garments of our life\, in clothes reddened by the winepress of human sin. Again the escorting angels are asked: Who is this King of glory? The answer is no longer\, The strong one\, mighty in battle\, but\, The lord of hosts\, he who has gained power over the whole universe\, who has recapitulated all things in himself who is above all things\, who has restored all creation to its former state: He is the King of glory. \nYou see how much David has added to our joy in this feast and contributed to the gladness of the Church. Therefore as far as we can let us imitate the prophet by our love for God\, by gentleness and by patience with those who hate us. Let the prophet’s teaching help us to live in a way pleasing to God in Christ Jesus our Lord\, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. \n1\nSt Gregory of Nyssa\, On the Ascension (Jaeger 9.1.323-327); Word in Season III\, 1st ed. Wednesday of the Sixth Week in Eastertide Year II.

SUMMARY:Easter Weekday
DESCRIPTION:A reading from\nST MAXIMUS OF TURIN 2\n◊◊◊\nUnless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies\, it remains alone; but if it dies\, it bears much fruit. Our Lord blossomed afresh when he rose from the tomb\, and he bore fruit when he ascended to heaven. As a flower he burgeoned from the depths of the earth; as the fruit he took his place on his lofty throne. Enduring the torment of the Cross alone\, he is that grain which he himself describes; surrounded by his Apostles\, now unshakable in their faith\, he is the fruit. In his converse with his disciples during those forty days after his Resurrection\, he taught them the fullness of mature wisdom\, and reaped from them an abundant harvest by the life-giving power of his words. \nThen he ascended to heaven\, bringing his Father the fruits of his incarnate life\, and leaving in his disciples the seed of holiness. Just as the eagle leaves the low lying ground\, makes for the heights\, and climbs high to heaven\, in like manner our Saviour left the lower regions\, made for the heights of Paradise\, and reached heaven’s highest summit. \nBut what of the fact that an eagle often steals its prey by carrying off what belongs to another? Even so\, our Saviour did something not unlike that\, for in a manner of speaking he stole his prey when he snatched the manhood he had assumed from the jaws of hell and carried it off to heaven\, freeing the human race from slavery to an alien prince\, that is\, from the power of the devil\, and leading it captive into a higher captivity. As the prophet says\, Ascending on high he led captivity captive; he gave gifts to men. \nThe undoubted meaning of these words is this: that since the devil held the human race captive\, our Lord\, by wresting it from him\, took it captive himself and as the prophet tells us led that very captivity to the heights of heaven. Both captivities do indeed bear the same name\, but they differ one from the other. The devil’s captivity means enslavement; Christ’s\, on the contrary\, means restoration to freedom. \n2\nSt Maximus of Turin\, Sermon 56\, 1-2 (CCL 23:224-225); Word in Season III\, 1st ed. Tuesday of the Sixth Week in Eastertide Year II.

SUMMARY:Easter Weekday
DESCRIPTION:A reading from\nST AUGUSTINE 3\n◊◊◊\nThe Lord said\, I tell you the truth: it is for your own good that I am going away\, because unless I go the Advocate will not come to you. But if I go I will send him to you. \nIn other words\, it is to your advantage that I should be taken from you as I am now\, in the condition of a servant. Now indeed I dwell among you as the Word made flesh; but I do not want you to go on loving me with a merely natural affection\, content with baby’s milk and lacking any ambition to leave the nursery. It is for your own good that I am going away\, because unless I do the Advocate will not come to you. So far I have given you nothing but children’s food. Unless I wean you\, you will never have any appetite for solid meat. As long as you cling to my bodily presence in a purely natural way you will remain incapable of receiving the Holy Spirit. \nA question arises\, however: when the Lord said that he had to go before the Advocate could come to the disciples\, and that if he went he would send him to them\, did he mean that it was impossible for him to send the Holy Spirit while he was still on earth? Surely no one would make such an assertion. He had never left the dwelling-place of the Spirit; nor had he come from the Father in such a way as no longer to be with the Father. Besides\, how could it have been impossible for Christ to send the Holy Spirit while he was yet on earth\, when we know he had received the abiding presence of the Spirit at his Baptism? In fact\, we know that he and the Holy Spirit were inseparable. \nWhat this Gospel passage means is that the disciples could not receive the Holy Spirit as long as they only knew Christ according to the flesh. Hence the assertion made by the Apostle Paul after he himself had received the Holy Spirit: Even if we used to think of Christ according to the flesh\, we do so no longer. When we know the incarnate Word spiritually\, our knowledge even of his flesh becomes more than merely according to the flesh. This\, without any doubt\, is the lesson their good Master wanted to give the disciples when he told them he was going away for their own good\, otherwise the Advocate would not come to them. \nThe withdrawal of Christ’s bodily presence from his disciples meant not only that the Holy Spirit would come to them\, but that the Father and the Son would also dwell with them in a spiritual manner. Christ’s departure did not mean that the Holy Spirit would simply take his place. It meant rather that together with Christ the Spirit would make his home in the hearts of the disciples. If this were not so\, what would become of our Lord’s promise to be with his disciples always\, to the end of time? \nAnd what of that other saying of his\, The Father and I will come to him and make our home with him? The fact is that our Lord promised to send the Holy Spirit in such a way that he himself would always remain with his disciples. And when through the coming of the Spirit their purely natural and human affections had become spiritualised\, then they would be capable of the indwelling of Father\, Son\, and Holy Spirit. \n3\nSt Augustine\, Commentary on John’s Gospel\, 94.4-5 (PL 35:1869-1870);Word in Season III\, 1st ed.\nMonday of the Sixth Week in Eastertide Year II.

SUMMARY:Easter Weekday
DESCRIPTION:A reading from\nST JOHN HENRY NEWMAN 4\n◊◊◊\nChrist’s going to the Father is at once a source of sorrow because it involves his absence\, and of joy because it involves his presence. And out of the doctrine of his Resurrection and Ascension spring those Christian paradoxes\, often spoken of in Scripture\, that we are sorrowing yet always rejoicing; as having nothing yet possessing all things. \nThis\, indeed\, is our state at present; we have lost Christ and we have found him; we see him not\, yet we discern him. We embrace his feet\, yet he says\, Touch me not. How is this? It is thus: we have lost the sensible and conscious perception of him; we cannot look on him\, hear him\, converse with him\, follow him from place to place; but we enjoy the spiritual\, immaterial\, inward\, mental\, real sight and possession of him; a possession more real and more present than that which the Apostles had in the days of his flesh\, because it is spiritual\, because it is invisible. When he says that he should go away\, and come again and abide forever\, he is speaking not merely of his omnipresent\, divine nature\, but of his human nature. As being Christ he says that he\, the incarnate mediator\, shall be with his Church forever. \nBut again\, you may be led to explain his declaration thus: ‘He has come again\, but in his Spirit; that is\, his Spirit has come instead of him; and when it is said that he is with us\, this only means that his Spirit is with us.’ \nNo one\, doubtless\, can deny this most gracious and consolatory truth\, that the Holy Spirit has come; but why has he come? To supply Christ’s absence\nor to accomplish his presence? Surely to make him present. Let us not suppose that God the Holy Spirit comes in such sense that God the Son remains away. No; he has not so come that Christ does not come\, but rather he comes that Christ may come in his coming. Through the Holy Spirit we have communion with Father and Son. In Christ we are built together\, says St Paul\, for a dwelling place of God through the Spirit. You are the temple of God\, the Spirit of God dwells in you. \nThus the Holy Spirit does not take the place of Christ in the soul\, but secures that place for Christ. St Paul insists much on this presence of Christ in those who have his Spirit. Do you not know\, he says\, that your bodies are the members of Christ? By one Spirit we are all baptized one body… you are the body of Christ\, and each one of you is a part of it? \nThe Holy Spirit\, then\, vouchsafes to come to us\, that by his coming Christ may come to us\, not carnally or visibly\, but may enter into us. And thus he is both present and absent\, absent in that he has left the earth\, present in that he has not left the faithful soul; or\, as he says himself: The world sees me no more\, but you see me. \n4\nJohn Henry Newman\, Parochial and Plain Sermons\, VI\, 121-127; Word in Season III\, 2nd ed.

SUMMARY:Easter Weekday
DESCRIPTION:A reading from\nST CYRIL OF ALEXANDRIA 5\n◊◊◊\nAs the reason for his departure\, our Lord mentioned his desire to open the way for our ascent to the heavenly places and to prepare a safe passage for us by making smooth the road that had previously been impassable. For heaven was then completely inaccessible to us – human foot had never trodden that pure and holy country of the angels. It was Christ who first prepared the way for our ascent there. By offering himself to God the Father as the first-fruits of all who are dead and buried\, he gave us a way of entry into heaven and was himself the first man the inhabitants of heaven ever saw. \nThe angels in heaven\, knowing nothing of the sacred and profound mystery of the incarnation\, were astonished at his coming and almost thrown into confusion by an event so strange and unheard of. Who is this coming from Edom? they asked; that is\, from the earth. But the Spirit did not leave the heavenly throng ignorant of the wonderful wisdom of God the Father. Commanding them to open the gates of heaven in honor of the king and master of the universe\, he cried out: Lift up your gates\, you princes\, and be lifted up\, you everlasting doors\, that the king of glory may come in. \nAnd so our Lord Jesus Christ has opened up for us a new and living way\, as Paul says\, not by entering a sanctuary made with hands\, but by entering heaven itself to appear before God on our behalf. For Christ has not ascended in order to make his own appearance before God the Father. \nHe was\, is\, and ever will be in the Father and in the sight of him from whom he receives his being\, for he is his Father’s unfailing joy. But now the Word\, who had never before been clothed in human nature\, has ascended as a man to show himself in a strange and unfamiliar fashion. And he has done this on our account and in our name\, so that being like us\, though with his power as the Son\, and hearing the command\, Sit at my right hand\, as a member of our race\, he might transmit to all of us the glory of being children of God. \nAs man then he appeared before the Father on our behalf\, to enable us whom original sin had excluded from his presence to see the Father’s face once more. As the Son he took his seat to enable us as sons through him to be called children of God. So Paul\, who claims to speak for Christ\, teaching that the whole human race has a share in the events of Christ’s life\, says that God has raised us up with him and enthroned us with him in heaven. To Christ as the Son by nature belongs the prerogative of sitting at the Father’s side; this honor can rightly and truly be ascribed to him alone. \nYet because his having become man means that he sits there as one who is in all respects like ourselves\, as well as being as we believe God from God\, in some mysterious way he passes this honor on to us. \n5\nSt Cyril of Alexandria\, Commentary on St John’s Gospel\, 9 (PG 74:182-183);Word in Season III\, 2nd ed.

SUMMARY:Easter Weekday
DESCRIPTION:A reading from\nST LEO THE GREAT 6\n◊◊◊\nAfter the blessed and glorious Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ\, when the divine power in three days raised the true Temple of God…on this very day\, dearly beloved\, the number of the forty holy days is completed. While the Lord draws out the time of his bodily presence\, our faith in his Resurrection is being strengthened by the necessary signs. The Death of Christ had greatly disturbed the hearts of the disciples. When the holy women\, as the Gospel story has told us\, proclaimed that the stone had been rolled away from the tomb\, the sepulcher was empty\, and that angels were witnesses of the living Lord\, their words seemed to the Apostles and other disciples as pure nonsense. \nThe Spirit of Truth would by no means have permitted this wavering in human weakness to enter the hearts of his preachers\, if their trembling anxiety and questioning delay were not to have established the foundations of our faith. Consequently\, it was our doubts\, our danger\, that was being considered in the Apostles. We\, in the guise of the Apostles\, were being instructed against the slanders of the wicked and the proofs of earthly wisdom. Let us give thanks for necessary slowness of the Holy Fathers. They doubted so that we need not doubt. \nThese days\, dearly beloved\, between the Resurrection of the Lord and his Ascension provided the opportunity to confirm great mysteries\, to reveal great secrets. In these days the Holy Spirit was poured into all the Apostles by the breath of the Lord; and to blessed Peter above all the others\, after the keys of the kingdom\, the care of the Lord’s sheep is entrusted. Through all this time which\nwent by between the Resurrection of the Lord and his Ascension\, the providence of God took thought for this: that they should recognize the Lord Jesus Christ as truly risen\, who was truly born\, truly suffered\, and truly died. \nThe result was that not only were they not afflicted with sadness but were filled with great joy when the Lord went into the heights of heaven. Truly it was a great and indescribable source of rejoicing when\, in the sight of the heavenly multitudes\, the nature of our human race ascended over the dignity of all heavenly creatures\, to pass the angelic orders and to be raised beyond the heights of archangels. In its ascension it did not stop at any other height until this same nature was received at the seat of the eternal Father\, to be associated on the throne of the glory of that One to whose nature it was joined in the Son. \nSince the Ascension of Christ is our elevation\, and since\, where the glory of the Head has preceded its\, there hope for the body is also invited\, let us exult\, dearly beloved\, with worthy joy and be glad with a holy thanksgiving. \nToday we are established not only as possessors of Paradise\, but we have even penetrated the heights of the heavens in Christ\, prepared more fully for it through the indescribable grace of Christ which we had lost through the ill will of the devil. Those whom the violent enemy threw down from the happiness of our first dwelling\, the Son of God has placed\, incorporated within himself\, at the right hand of the Father\, the Son of God who lives and reigns with God the Father Almighty and with the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen. \n6\nSt Leo the Great\, Sermon 73; FoC 93 (1996) tr. Freeland & Conway.

SUMMARY:Easter Weekday
DESCRIPTION:A reading from\nST LEO THE GREAT 7\n◊◊◊\nThe faith of the infant Church was increased by the Lord’s Ascension and strengthened by the gift of the Spirit; it was to remain unshaken by fetters and imprisonment\, exile and hunger\, fire and ravening beasts\, and the most refined tortures ever devised by brutal persecutors. Even the blessed Apostles\, though they had been strengthened by so many miracles and instructed by so much teaching\, took fright at the cruel suffering of the Lord’s Passion and could not accept his Resurrection without hesitation. \nYet they made such progress through his Ascension that they now found joy in what had terrified them before. They were able to fix their minds on Christ’s divinity as he sat at the right hand of the Father\, since what was presented to their bodily eyes no longer hindered them from turning all their attention to the realization that he had not left his Father when he came down to earth\, nor abandoned his disciples when he ascended into heaven. \nThe truth is that the Son of Man was revealed as Son of God in a more perfect and transcendent way once he had entered into his Father’s glory. He now began to be indescribably more present in his divinity to those from whom he was further removed in his humanity. A more mature faith enabled their minds to stretch upward to the Son in his equality with the Father; it no longer needed contact with Christ’s tangible body\, in which as man he is inferior to the Father. \nFor while his glorified body retained the same nature\, the faith of those who believed in him was now summoned to heights where\, as the Father’s equal\, the only-begotten Son is reached not by physical handling but by spiritual discernment. This explains why our Lord said to the Church in the person of Mary Magdalene\, as she ran forward to cling to him: Do not touch me\, for I have not yet ascended to my Father. In other words\, I do not want you to come to me corporeally\, to recognize me by what your bodily senses tell you; I want you to wait for something higher. \nAnd when the eyes of his disciples\, rapt in wonder\, followed their ascending Lord to heaven\, there stood beside them two angels\, in garments of marvelously shining whiteness\, who said to them: Men of Galilee\, why are you standing looking up to heaven? This Jesus who has been taken from you will come again in the same way as you have seen him going up to heaven. By these words all the Church’s children have been taught to believe that Jesus Christ will come again visibly in the same flesh in which he ascended\, and that there can be no doubt concerning the subjection of all things to him who was served by angels from the moment of his birth. \nAs it was an angel who announced to the blessed Virgin that Christ would be conceived of the Holy Spirit\, so too it was the song of heavenly beings that told the shepherds of his virginal birth; and as the first attestations of his rising from the dead were delivered by messengers from on high\, so it was the task of angels to proclaim that he would come in the same flesh to judge the world. All these things were intended to make us realize what tremendous angelic powers are to accompany him when he comes to judge\, since such mighty spirits ministered to him even when he came to be judged himself. \n7\nSt Leo the Great\, Sermon 74\, 3-4 (CCL 138A:457-459); Word in Season III\, 1st ed.
