(From the Resurrection Homily of Saint Gregory Nazianzus)
This is the Day of the Resurrection. Let us then keep the Festival with splendor, and I let us embrace one another. Let, us say Brethren, even to those who hate us; much more to those who have suffered out of love for us. Let us forgive all offences for the resurrection’s sake. Let I us give one another’s pardon, for the noble tyranny which I have suffered; and you who exercised it, if you had cause to blame my tardiness; for perhaps this tardiness may be more; precious in God’s sight than the haste of others. Yesterday, I was crucified with Him, today, I am glorified with Him. Yesterday, I died with Him, today, I am quickened with Him. Yesterday, I was buried with Him, today, I rise with Him. But let us offer to Him, who suffered and rose again for us, not the mere material of earth, which remains here below and is, for the most part, always possessed by bad men, slaves of the world and of the Prince of the world. Let us offer ourselves – the possession most precious to God, and most fitting. Let us give back to the Image what is made after the Image. Let us recognize our Dignity; let us honor our Archetype; let us know the power of the Mystery, and for whom Christ died. Let us give all, offer all, to Him Who gave Himself a Ransom and a Reconciliation for us. But one can give nothing like oneself, understanding the Mystery, and becoming for His sake all that He became for ours.”
CHRIST IS RISEN!
INDEED HE IS RISEN!
