SALESIAN
PERSPECTIVE
“The Gospel preached by me is not of human origin.”
In hisTreatise on the Love of God, Francis de Sales wrote:
“The conformity of our heart with God’s signified will consists in the fact that we will all that God’s goodness signifies to us as his intention, so that we believe according to his teaching, we hope according to his promises, fear according to his warnings and love and live according to his ordinances and decrees. All the protestations we make so often in the Church’s holy ceremonies tend to this end. For this reason we remain standing while the Gospel lessons are read to show that we are ready to obey the holy signification of God’s will contained in the Gospel. For this reason we kiss the book at the place where the Gospel is, to show that we adore the holy word that declares God’s will…Because of this in the early councils they set up a throne in the midst of the assembled bishops and placed on it the book of the Holy Gospels to represent the person of the Savior, king, teacher, spirit and unique heart both of councils and of the entire Church. So greatly did they honor the signification of God’s will as expressed in that divine book! Indeed, the great mirror of the pastoral order, St. Charles Borromeo, archbishop of Milan, never studied Holy Scripture except on his knees and with his head uncovered to testify to the respect which with we must hear and read God’s signified will.” (TLG, Book VIII, Chapter 3, pp. 63-64)
The Gospel preached is indeed of divine origin, but what a privilege it is for us human beings to be entrusted by God with the work of sharing the divinely-inspired Good News with others, even in our own day and in our own ways!
Today, we should strive to do our level best to show God’s Word the respect that it – and He – deserve not only by how we hear it and preach it, but also especially by how we try to live it.
Rev. Michael S. Murray, OSFS, is the Executive Director of the De Sales Spirituality Center.
