And your Clothing will be Pure Wool
By St. Cyril of Jerusalem – Catecheses, 15, 24ff. (PG 33, 904)
Jesus said: ‘When the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. Before him will be gathered all the nations . . . ‘ [Matt. 25:31-32] The entire human race will be there. Think only of those who have lived down the centuries from Adam till today: an immense crowd. Besides them, the angels will be there too. It is impossible not to feel awestruck. And aside from the punishment to which we may be condemned, the idea that God will judge us in front of so many witnesses is frightening. Jesus goes on to say: ‘The Son of man will separate them one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.’ [Matt. 25:32] How will he set about separating them? Will he leaf through some sort of register? No. He will judge on the basis of what he sees. Wool characterizes sheep: a shaggy wrinkled skin marks goat by contrast. You, if you have been cleansed from your sins, will put on clothing woven from your holy deeds, and that clothing will be pure wool.
