AI Summary: 

The talk explores the spiritual significance of the rhythm of time in the context of Christian liturgy, focusing particularly on the Christmas celebrations and the symbolic meanings behind the three masses of Nativity. It emphasizes the metaphor of "evening and morning" as a way to understand the cyclical nature of divine grace and spiritual renewal inherent in the Christian life. The discussion juxtaposes temporal time with eternal time, using the birth of Christ and its associated liturgical practices as examples of how these concepts are realized within the church's traditions.

  • Old Testament and New Testament: Referenced to illustrate the continuity in the theme of "evening and morning" and the history of salvation.

  • Prophet Daniel: Mentioned in the context of prophecy regarding the unfolding timeline until the coming of the Lord.

  • Ephesians (Epistle of St. Paul to the Ephesians): Provides the theological foundation for the discussion of the "age of Christ" and the Christian life cycle.

  • Midnight Mass, Mass at the Rising of the Sun, Third Mass: Detailed to highlight their connection with the divine sanctification of time and the overarching theme of salvation.

  • Holy Triduum: Contextualized as a time of meditation on the themes discussed, particularly aligning with New Year's preparations.

Through this meditation on the rhythm of time, the talk invites reflection on personal and communal spiritual transformations as part of the ongoing Christian journey.

Transcript: 

Maybe I'll be able to open you all around a video, but truly I know it's amazing, Andrew, to make us feel like we're all going to be having one such thing to happen. More and more serious, if you're a part of the game, you'll be able to get some sort of mystery. And I'll be able to get some sort of mystery. And I'll be able to get some sort of mystery. I'll be able to get some sort of mystery. and father and dear mothers and sisters. It's always a great joy indeed to realize that too for me to come back to supplement to this place which in so deep a sense has become a second going through your infinite patience and charity that we have shown

[01:09]

to me in those critical weeks after the illness and which has meant so much to me and also to our community at Barcy. So I rejoice interiorly in this special grace, be able to help you at least in a very small way in the time of this Holy Triduum that you celebrate in preparation of the new year of the Lord, 1959. And in thinking about a topic which would make it easier to make these three days fruitful for your souls, A word painted to my mind which is so completely simple and still so full of meaning.

[02:17]

A word which expresses the divine sanctification of the rhythm of time. It was evening and it was worthy one day. In these words, the inspired brother of God leads us into the inner spiritual meaning of the rhythm of time. It's a very Christian and independent applications in the course of that blessed history, in which God was leading his chosen people into salvation. In the old as well as in the New Testament, it was evening and it was morning one day.

[03:26]

If you, for example, apply these words to that holy feast, of the Nativity of our Lord, that we have just celebrated the Christmas Eve, a feast that may be so much to you, and members of the society of the Holy Joy Jesus. This Christmas Day we have celebrated through three masks, warm at midnight, and warm at the rising of the summer, and warm when the sun was in full power, and pooled over the dead. At least three masters I took there was a beautiful application of that word.

[04:32]

It was evening, and it was morning, What day? There is the midnight lapse. Sometimes you can read in explanations of the liturgy of the Nativity of the Lord that these three masses of Christmas trees, three different themes or aspects in which the Lord is born. At the Midnight Mass takes us into that eternal generation of the world upon the Father. It's that the Mass in the morning puts before us the mystery of the earthly nativity, the historical birthday

[05:34]

of the world made of flesh. Is that the third verse of Christmas then reminds us of the birth of our Lord in the soul of every Christian. Now there's always wrong to those explications, but If one examines the varying texts of the liturgy, and if one has kept one's way a little into the mind of the church, and the way in which she composes and exacerbates the mysteries of salvation, what finds then this explanation is there cannot be a lie to these three masses in any strict or exclusive way.

[06:48]

There's one fact which is immediately outstanding, and that is that the church in the liturgy does not separate and distinguish this. But then she sees things in the fullness of the spirit of this messianic age. And the spirit of this messianic age is not a spirit of dividing the times. As the Old Testament was a period of expectations, which was going on through the course of the year, and it breaks the years without it, in which finally the prophet Daniel gave us an approximate number even for those years we still had to go by until the angel of the war would come to his

[08:00]

But this, our age, our Christian year, where we speak, certainly on various years, we say 1958, and we say 1959 and 1960, we count, but what do we count? Something absolutely unimportant and accidental. And all these various governments According to which we count the years, they are all comprehended in that one expression, the year of the Lord. All these years, 1957, 58, 59, they are all about, and they all are the one year of the Lord, the Augusta. And that is when they receive their name.

[09:06]

And that is the name of their Esther. And the numbers are accident. They are part of the slow flow of time in which we, of course, still stand before the second cover of our Lord when there will be no more death. This one year of adult, this unstoppingly expresses the inner essence of our society age. And therefore it's a age of comprehensive totality. And wherever the church celebrates, she celebrates the Lord with what can say that in the Jewish world, of the world, a truly Catholic mind.

[10:09]

One may also call it a contemplative mind, comprehensive mind. Every man contains the total mystery of our salvation. And so also the antiquity of our God and Savior Jesus Christ, this blessed night and blessed night. I was celebrated each time in each of the three masses in its fullness and totality. And still, just as the one year of the goal, images will receive a new complete realization in each temple here in 1957, 1958, 1959. So also, the fullness of salvation of every matter celebrated on Christmas Day still receives a special determination by the very time into which it enters, and that is the night, and that is the rising of the sun, and that is the fullness of the day.

[11:30]

Even in and only water. The Mass at midnight really receives its specific note by the fact that this year the Spokely Mysterium is celebrated when night occurs near. A night for the treasure is the hour of darkness. And therefore, this midnight map is full of these facts that don't discover Peter. We find Our Lady Anne Joseph, first of all, we find there in the cave. What does that mean in the cave?

[12:31]

That means not in the realm of man. Not in man's city. But outside, as Holy Scripture says, extrajudgment. Outside of the city. Outside of the community life of man. Then immediately, my dear sister, sweet my sister, for another moment in which darkness took over. And where our Lord was found, outside the city gates. I need the hour of order. I need the hour of the crucifixion. Our Lord starts his earthly day, his daily order.

[13:34]

He starts it with the evil in the night. And everything that we see there, don't we mean the game, is in itself a symbolic prophetic figure of what will happen to him In the hour of darkness, when he is crucified, he is being wrapped in swaddling glow. And that is an indication of he is being found, he is being fit. The little blade that is wrapped in swaddling glow is the prophetic figure of the one who will be led captive outside the city gates, and they will be nailed to the cross, immovable.

[14:42]

He is laid into the manger, just as he is taken down for the party and laid into the tomb. So the mystery of this Midnight lamps. Really appreciate us in every way the mystery of good life. And that is the source, that is the beginning of the new era of all Christian salvation. That's what we should keep in mind. The evening is the beginning of the new day. And therefore our God tomorrow, the first day of your tribute, would be devoted to the radiation of this game. When this world was set at the evening, at the evening tide of the spring, then the world became fresh and appeared.

[15:55]

In this darkness, then a light shines white. And that light is what is birthed by the angel who gives the glad tidings. And it opens this sign, which is to be found there in the cave. Outside the city gates, wrapped in swaddling gold, and they lie in the manger. That sign is then injured. You will find the Savior. Christ is not the Lord. This beautiful message of the angels. There is in itself another application and interpretation of evening and morning water.

[17:10]

Evening the Savior, the Lamb of God. The one who blames the Christ, the Savior. Who redeems the capital. Bind them back with the higher price, the price of his will, the same. Christ, that means the anointed, the oil is the signal of the Spirit. We speak of the oil of gladness with which our Jesus was anointed. That is the morning. One day, curious the Lord, who are the one who is enthroned at the right hand of his father, as the king, the ruler of the new day.

[18:21]

Then we have A second man, and there is the man, and the rising of the sun. And all the texts of that man are determined by this. I think this situation, it's the morning. Rising of the sun looks bulging at all. The light shines forth today, and it's in trouble. Find the key word in the Gospel. Let us pass over to Bethlehem. That is the key word of us, of the transits. From the dying to the dead, the rising of the sun. At this moment, when the sun is rising, shepherds get together and

[19:23]

In joyful days, they go over to Bethlehem. That means they eat the peanuts and their sheep, and they go into the city of Bethlehem. And there they die in the shop, and they are there too. Then it is the past. That is the transition from the night into the day. It means in the act of I don't wish. Just this in the east end. And then comes the third world. And that third world [...] on his shoulders.

[20:25]

Again you see my distance, even if all they want them. Even if a child is born to us, that is me. The world mainly asks themselves, the world is moving. Everything is made. This word, this word in whom all things were made, keep still made, made out of wood, made under the door, per se. That is in this game, that is as it were the setting of the sun. That is the east end of the sun of glory. Into the ocean of this chaotic world.

[21:30]

The world made it fresh. A child born to us. But this child born to us. A son given to us. The one who was born was given. His word is gift. His disdainment is the beginning of a divine verse. A song given to us. A song given to us that means every one of us who receive him are children. Not born out of the will of man and out of blood, but born out of sin. and power upon his shoulders. Evening, wondering, wondering, the curious, the one to present, don't forget the writing.

[22:39]

This vast thing for of the day leads us into the fullness of the wonderful moon's power upon his shoulders. The key. eternal word of God made to face and to receive his glory as we see the full glory of the Son. At this third hour at nine o'clock when this mass is celebrated in the very church which is in Salem with promise of the entire prophecy or simple of the entire Catholic That is the dawn of death. That is the climax of the Church's celebration of Christmas.

[23:47]

See this wonderful new celebration itself. Come away in sin. Like the divine reasoner, which reaches all things from the beginning to the end, is weakness and stealing power. Evening a morning water. This morning Christmas Day represents to us the rhythm. essential rhythm of our own life. In surprises, our own life is embedded in a natural development and rhythm of time. And in this rhythm of time, we deal constantly filled with a new life. A new life that is sent to us and reaches us.

[24:49]

in the evening, leads us into the rising light of morning and into the fullness of that light which fills the entire earth then with its light anymore. So let us then apply these three stages also to our own present night in these three days. Let us be about that redeeming. I forgot that reaches us in the evening and in the morning water. Evening the beginning, that is the moment in which we experience with any vice versa, our thoughts. Rising out of this into the morning, That is the freshness of our Christian.

[25:53]

An eternal beginning. And then what a day. That is the fullness of the age of Christ. That St. Paul speaks about in his masterful epistle of to the Ephesians. That is the rhythm of our own Christian life. There are the stages through which also our religious love constantly goes to these stages. Therefore, let us and I advise with food to ask him still that he may help us to see in eternal light of the word of God the evening and the morning and the wonderful day. If you look at the other people, you can find a way to [...] find a way

[27:21]

For the idols of Australia had born, and they built with Jesus. But we who have received that mention, need provide to thee, Jesus, true, aesthetic force. Jesus provides what water. Jesus the king was the prince of all in strength. Jesus died of obstinance. Jesus, by the light, healed me. Jesus. Jesus. Jesus. Open, Ratchet, Up.
