MEDITATION ...
From a sermon by Saint Bernard, abbot
(Talk 'De aquaeductu' Opera Omnia, edit. Cisterc. 5 [1968] 282-283)
must ponder the mysteries of salvation
must ponder the mysteries of salvation
The Holy born of thee shall be called the Son of God (cf. Lk 1:35 ), a source of wisdom, Word of the Father in heaven high.
The Word, O Blessed Virgin, will become flesh through you, and he who says: "I am in the Father and the Father is in me" (Jn 10:38) also says: "I came from the Father and came into the world" (Jn 16:28).
So "In the beginning was the Word," that is already flowed to the source, but still only in itself, because the principle "The Word was with God" (Jn 1:1), her dwelt in unapproachable light. Then the Lord began to formulate a plan: I I have plans for welfare and not for evil (cf. Jer 29:11). But God's plan remained with him and we were not able to meet him. Indeed: Who knows the mind of the Lord and those who can be recommended? (Cf. Rom 11:24). So Thought of peace descended in the work of peace: "The Word became flesh and dwelt among us" (Jn 1:14); dwelt particularly in our hearts through faith. Became the object of our remembrance, our thoughts and our own imagination.
If he had not come among us, that idea could have been done by God to man, but to an idol, the result of imagination?
He would have been incomprehensible and inaccessible, invisible and utterly unimaginable. Instead he wanted to be included, wanted to be seen, wanted to be imagined. You'll say: Where and when it becomes visible to us? Precisely in the manger, in the lap of the Virgin, while preaching on the mountain, while spending the night in prayer, while hanging on the cross and bruised to death, or when, free among the dead, commanding hell, or even when resurrected on the third day and shows the apostles the wounds of the nails, as signs of victory, and, finally, while it rises to heaven before their eyes.
Is not it just, pious and holy ponder these mysteries? When my mind is thinking of them, you find God, he who hears you in every way God is my true wisdom is therefore stop on them in contemplation. It is to be enlightened spirits go back to fill their hearts the sweet memory of Christ.
Responsor See Luke 1:42. 28
R. Virgin Mary, none like you among the daughters of Jerusalem, you are the mother of the King Most High, thou Lady of the Angels and Queen of Heaven. * Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
V. Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
R. Blessed are you among the sleeping, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
PRAYER
Pour your grace into our hearts, Lord, thou who hast revealed to us the message of the angel 'incarnation of your Son, for his passion and his cross brought to the glory of the resurrection. For our Lord.
