SUMMARY:Vigils Reading
DESCRIPTION:From a commentary by \nWILLIAM OF ST THIERRY \n◊◊◊ \n“Come\, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord\, and to the house of the \nGod of Jacob\, and He will teach us his ways.” \nYearnings\, strivings\, thoughts and affections\, and all that is within me\, \ncome and let us go up to the mountain or place where the Lord both sees and is \nseen! But worries and anxieties\, concerns and toils\, and all the sufferings \ninvolved in my enslaved condition\, all of you must stay here with the donkey – I \nmean my body – while I and the lad – my intellectual faculties – hasten up the \nmountain; so that when we have worshiped\, we may come back to you. \nFor we shall come back\, and that unfortunately\, all too soon. Love of the \ntruth does indeed lead us far from you; but for the brethren’s sake\, the truth of \nthe love forbids us to abandon or reject you. But\, though you need thus call us \nback\, that sweet experience must not be wholly forgotten on your account. \nBut alas\, O Lord\, alas! To want to see God when one is unclean in heart is \nsurely quite outrageous\, rash and presumptuous\, and altogether out of order \nand against the rule of the word of truth and of your wisdom! Yet you are he who \nis supremely good\, goodness itself\, the life of our hearts and the light of our \ninward eyes. For your goodness’ sake\, then\, have mercy on me\, Lord; for the \nbeholding of your goodness is of itself my cleansing\, my confidence\, my \nholiness… \nSince it happens only by your gift\, you know how from the inmost depths \nof my being and after I have put away from me all striving after worldly honors \nand delights and pleasures\, and everything else that can – and often does – \narouse in me the lust of the flesh\, or of the eyes\, or that stirs me in a wrong \nambition – you know how my heart then says to you: “My face has sought you; \nyour face will I seek. Do not turn your face from me; do not turn away in anger \nfrom your servant.”… \nLet your voice testify deep down within my soul and spirit\, shaking my \nwhole being like a raging storm\, while my inward eyes are dazzled by the \nbrightness of your truth\, which keeps on telling me: “No man shall see you and \nlive.” For I indeed am as yet wholly in my sins\, I have not learned yet how to die \nto myself in order to live to you. \nAnd yet it is by your command and by your gift that I stand upon the rock \nof faith in you\, the rock of the Christian faith\, and in the place where truly you \nare present. On that rock I take my stand meanwhile\, with such patience as I can \ncommand\, and I embrace and kiss your right hand that covers and protects me. \nAnd sometimes\, when I gaze with longing\, I do see the “back” of him who sees \nme; I see your Son Christ “passing by” in the abasement of his incarnation.
