THE DAILY GOSPEL

Tuesday, April 14 : Saint Basil

Tuesday, April 14 : Saint Basil

, , ,

[Toward the Holy Spirit] turn all things needing sanctification, after whom reach all things that live in virtue, as being watered by Its inspiration and helped on toward their natural and proper end… Only then after a man is purified from the shame whose stain he took through his wickedness, and has come back again to his natural beauty, and as it were cleaning the Royal Image and restoring its ancient form, only thus is it possible for him to draw near to the Paraclete. And He, like the sun, will by the aid of your purified eye show you in Himself the image of the invisible, and in the blessed spectacle of the image you shall behold the unspeakable beauty of the archetype. Through His aid hearts are lifted up, the weak are held by the hand, and they who are advancing are brought to perfection. Shining upon those that are cleansed from every spot, He makes them spiritual by fellowship with Himself. Just as when a sunbeam falls on bright and transparent bodies, they themselves become brilliant too, and shed forth a fresh brightness from themselves, so souls wherein the Spirit dwells, illuminated by the Spirit, themselves become spiritual, and send forth their grace to others.

Jesus said to Nicodemus: “’You must be born from above.’
The wind blows where it wills, and you can hear the sound it makes, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes; so it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
Nicodemus answered and said to him, “How can this happen?”
Jesus answered and said to him, “You are the teacher of Israel and you do not understand this?
Amen, amen, I say to you, we speak of what we know and we testify to what we have seen, but you people do not accept our testimony.
If I tell you about earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you about heavenly things?
No one has gone up to heaven except the one who has come down from heaven, the Son of Man.
And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up,
so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.”

The LORD is king, in splendor robed;
robed is the LORD and girt about with strength. And he has made the world firm,
your throne stands firm from of old; from everlasting you are, O LORD. Your decrees are worthy of trust indeed: holiness befits your house, O LORD, for length of days.

The community of believers was of one heart and mind, and no one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they had everything in common.
With great power the apostles bore witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great favor was accorded them all.
There was no needy person among them, for those who owned property or houses would sell them, bring the proceeds of the sale,
and put them at the feet of the apostles, and they were distributed to each according to need.
Thus Joseph, also named by the apostles Barnabas (which is translated “son of encouragement”), a Levite, a Cypriot by birth,
sold a piece of property that he owned, then brought the money and put it at the feet of the apostles.

Tuesday, April 14 : Saint John Eudes

,

Our beloved Savior assures us in many places of his Holy Scriptures that he is constantly caring and keeping watch over us, that he carries and will himself always carry us in his breast, his heart, his bowels. Nor is he content to say just once or twice that he will carry us in this way, but he asserts and reasserts it as many as five times in the same place. Furthermore, he assures us that even if a mother were to be found who would go so far as to forget the child she had borne in her womb, yet he will never forget us; that he has written us on his hands so as to have us always under his eyes; that whoever touches us, touches the apple of his eye; that we should never be anxious about what we need to live and to clothe ourselves, that he knows well we need these things and takes care of them for us; that he has numbered the hairs on our head and not one of them will perish; that his Father loves us as he loves him and that he loves us as his Father loves him; that he wills we should be where he is, that is to say that we should be at rest with him in the breast and heart of his Father.

,

For there is nothing covered that shall not be revealed: nor hidden that shall not be known.
For whatsoever things you have spoken in darkness shall be published in the light: and that which you have spoken in the ear in the chambers shall be preached on the housetops.
And I say to you, my friends: Be not afraid of them who kill the body and after that have no more that they can do.
But I will shew you whom you shall fear: Fear ye him who, after he hath killed, hath power to cast into hell. Yea, I say to you: Fear him.
Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
Yea, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: you are of more value than many sparrows.
And I say to you: Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God.

Our Lord Jesus Christ said to all on many occasions and while giving many demonstrations of it: “If anyone wishes to come after me, he must deny himself, take up his cross and follow me,” (cf Lk 9:23) and again: “anyone of you who does not renounce all his possessions cannot be my disciple.” Thus, he seems to demand of us the most entire renunciation… “Where your treasure is, there also will your heart be,” he says elsewhere (Mt 6:21). So if we keep back for ourselves any earthly goods or any perishable supplies, our minds will remain sunk in them as though in mud. Then, inevitably, our souls will become unable to contemplate God and will be unmoved by desire for the splendours of heaven and for the good things promised us. We shall only be able to acquire those good things if we ask for them unceasingly, with a burning desire that will, besides, make easy the effort needed to gain them. To renounce ourselves means to undo the bonds that bind us to this earthly, passing life and free ourselves from human contingencies so that we may become more equal to walking along the way that leads to God. It is to free ourselves from all hindrances so as to possess and use the goods that are “far more precious than gold and silver,” (Ps 119 [118]:72). And, to sum up, to renounce oneself is to lift the human heart into the life of heaven so as to be able to say: “Our citizenship is in heaven,” (Phil 3:20). Above all, it is to begin to grow like Christ, who for our sake became poor although he was rich (2 Cor 8:9). We need to become like him if we want to live according to the Gospel.

If any man come to me, and hate not his father and mother and wife and children and brethren and sisters, yea and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
And whosoever doth not carry his cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.
For which of you, having a mind to build a tower, doth not first sit down and reckon the charges that are necessary, whether he have wherewithal to finish it:
Lest, after he hath laid the foundation and is not able to finish it, all that see it begin to mock him,
Saying: This man began to build and was not able to finish.
Or, what king, about to go to make war against another king, doth not first sit down and think whether he be able, with ten thousand, to meet him that, with twenty thousand, cometh against him?
Or else, while the other is yet afar off, sending an embassy, he desireth conditions of peace.
So likewise every one of you that doth not renounce all that he possesseth cannot be my disciple.

مَنْ كَانَ حَسَنَ ٱلْعِبَادَةِ وَمُحِبًّا لِلَّهِ فَلْيَتَمَتَّعْ بِحُسْنِ هٰذَا ٱلْعِيدِ ٱلْفَرِحِ! مَنْ كَانَ عَبْدًا أَمِينًا فَلْيَدْخُلْ فَرَحَ رَبِّهِ مَسْرُورًا! (رَاجِعْ مت ٢٥: ٢٣). مَنْ تَعِبَ صَائِمًا، فَلْيَأْخُذِ ٱلْآنَ مُكَافَأَتَهُ. مَنْ عَمِلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّاعَةِ ٱلْأُولَىٰ، فَلْيَقْبَلِ ٱلْيَوْمَ حَقَّهُ ٱلْعَادِلَ (رَاجِعْ مت ٢٠: ١ – ١٦). مَنْ قَدِمَ بَعْدَ ٱلسَّاعَةِ ٱلثَّالِثَةِ، فَلْيُعَيِّدْ شَاكِرًا. مَنْ وَافَىٰ بَعْدَ ٱلسَّاعَةِ ٱلسَّادِسَةِ، فَلَا يَشُكَّ مُرْتَابًا، فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَخْسَرُ شَيْئًا. مَنْ تَخَلَّفَ إِلَىٰ ٱلسَّاعَةِ ٱلتَّاسِعَةِ، فَلْيَتَقَدَّمْ غَيْرَ مُرْتَابٍ. وَمَنْ وَصَلَ ٱلسَّاعَةَ ٱلْحَادِيَةَ عَشْرَةَ، فَلَا يَخْشَيَنَّ ٱلْإِبْطَاءَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلسَّيِّدَ كَرِيمٌ جَوَّادٌ، فَهُوَ يَقْبَلُ ٱلْأَخِيرَ كَمَا يَقْبَلُ ٱلْأَوَّلَ…، يَرْحَمُ مَنْ جَاءَ أَخِيرًا، وَيُرْضِي مَنْ جَاءَ أَوَّلًا، يُعْطِي هٰذَا وَيَهَبُ ذَاكَ… فَٱدْخُلُوا كُلُّكُمْ إِذًا نَعِيمَ سَيِّدِكُمْ! أَيُّهَا ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ وَيَا أَيُّهَا ٱلْآخِرُونَ…، أَيُّهَا ٱلْأَغْنِيَاءُ وَيَا أَيُّهَا ٱلْفُقَرَاءُ…، سَلَكْتُمْ بِإِمْسَاكٍ أَمْ تَوَانَيْتُمْ…، صُمْتُمْ أَمْ لَمْ تَصُومُوا، ٱفْرَحُوا ٱلْيَوْمَ. ٱلْمَائِدَةُ مَمْلُوءَةٌ، فَتَنَعَّمُوا كُلُّكُمْ (رَاجِعْ مت ٢٢: ٤). ٱلْعِجْلُ سَمِينٌ، فَلَا يَنْصَرِفْ أَحَدٌ جَائِعًا. تَنَاوَلُوا كُلُّكُمْ مَشْرُوبَ ٱلْإِيمَانِ، تَنَعَّمُوا كُلُّكُمْ بِغِنَى ٱلصَّلَاحِ. لَا يَتَحَسَّرْ أَحَدٌ شَاكِيًا ٱلْفَقْرَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْمَلَكُوتَ قَدْ ظَهَرَ لِلْجَمِيعِ؛ وَلَا يَنْدُبْ مُتَذَمِّرًا مِنَ ٱلْآثَامِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلصَّفْحَ قَدْ بَزَغَ مِنَ ٱلْقَبْرِ مُشْرِقًا؛ لَا يَخْشَ أَحَدُ ٱلْمَوْتَ، لِأَنَّ مَوْتَ ٱلْمُخَلِّصِ قَدْ حَرَّرَنَا. هُوَ أَخْمَدَ ٱلْمَوْتَ لَمَّا مَاتَ، وَسَبَى ٱلْجَحِيمَ لَمَّا ٱنْحَدَرَ إِلَيْهَا… لَقَدْ سَبَقَ لِإِشَعْيَا أَنْ تَنَبَّأَ بِهِ وَنَادَىٰ قَائِلًا: “مَثْوَى ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ مِنْ أَسْفَلَ ٱرْتَعَدَ مِنْكَ عِنْدَ قُدُومِكَ” (إش ١٤: ٩). ٱرْتَعَدَ لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ أُلْغِيَ، ٱرْتَعَدَ إِذْ هُزِئَ بِهِ، ٱرْتَعَدَ لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ أُبِيدَ. تَنَاوَلَ جَسَدًا فَأَلْفَاهُ إِلٰهًا؛ تَنَاوَلَ أَرْضًا فَأَلْفَاهَا سَمَاءً؛ تَنَاوَلَ مَا كَانَ يَنْظُرُ، فَسَقَطَ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَمْ يَنْظُرْ. “فَأَيْنَ يَا مَوْتُ نَصْرُكَ؟ وَأَيْنَ يَا مَوْتُ شَوْكَتُكَ؟” (١كور ١٥: ٥٤). قَامَ ٱلرَّبُّ يَسُوعُ ٱلْمَسِيحُ وَأَنْتَ صُرِعْتَ! قَامَ ٱلْمَسِيحُ وَٱلشَّيْطَانُ سَقَطَ! قَامَ ٱلْمَسِيحُ وَفَرِحَ جَمْعُ ٱلْمَلَائِكَةِ! قَامَ ٱلْمَسِيحُ فَٱنْبَعَثَتِ ٱلْحَيَاةُ فِي ٱلْجَمِيعِ! قَامَ ٱلْمَسِيحُ وَلَمْ يَعُدْ هُنَاكَ أَمْوَاتٌ فِي ٱلْقَبْرِ! قَامَ ٱلْمَسِيحُ مِنْ بَيْنِ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ فَكَانَ بَاكُورَةَ ٱلرَّاقِدِينَ. فَلَهُ ٱلْمَجْدُ وَٱلْقُدْرَةُ إِلَىٰ دَهْرِ ٱلدُّهُورِ! آمِين.

في يَوْمِ الأَحَد، جَاءَتْ مَرْيَمُ المَجْدَلِيَّةُ إِلى القَبْرِ بَاكِرًا، وكَانَ بَعْدُ ظَلام، فَرَأَتِ الحَجَرَ مَرْفُوعًا عَنِ القَبْر.
فَأَسْرَعَتْ وجَاءَتْ إِلى سِمْعَانَ بُطْرُسَ والتِّلْمِيذِ الآخَرِ الَّذي كَانَ يَسُوعُ يُحِبُّهُ، وقَالَتْ لَهُمَا: «أَخَذُوا الرَّبَّ مِنَ القَبْر، ولا نَعْلَمُ أَيْنَ وَضَعُوه».
فَخَرَجَ بُطْرُسُ والتِّلْمِيذُ الآخَرُ وأَتَيَا إِلى القَبْر.
وكَانَ الٱثْنَانِ يُسْرِعَانِ مَعًا، إِلاَّ أَنَّ التِّلْمِيذَ الآخَرَ سَبَقَ بُطْرُس، فَوَصَلَ إِلى القَبْرِ أَوَّلاً.
وَٱنْحَنَى فَرَأَى الرِّبَاطَاتِ مُلْقَاةً إِلى الأَرْض، ولكِنَّهُ لَمْ يَدْخُل.
ثُمَّ وَصَلَ سِمْعَانُ بُطْرُسُ يَتْبَعُهُ، فَدَخَلَ القَبْرَ، وشَاهَدَ الرِّبَاطَاتِ مُلْقَاةً إِلى الأَرْض،
وَالمِنْديلَ الَّذي كَانَ عَلى رَأْسِ يَسُوعَ غَيْرَ مُلْقًى مَعَ الرِّبَاطَات، بَلْ مَطْوِيًّا وَحْدَهُ في مَوْضِعٍ آخَر.
حِينَئِذٍ دَخَلَ التِّلمِيذُ الآخَرُ الَّذي وَصَلَ إِلى القَبْرِ أَوَّلاً، ورَأَى فَآمَن؛
لأَنَّهُمَا لَمْ يَكُونَا بَعْدُ قَدْ فَهِمَا مَا جَاءَ في الكِتَاب، أَنَّهُ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يَقُومَ مَنْ بَيْنِ الأَمْوَات.
ثُمَّ عَادَ التِّلمِيذَانِ إِلى حَيْثُ يُقِيمَان.
