Quote from the early church fathers

A humble examination

by Bede the Venerable, 672-735 A.D.

"In line with our usual human way of doing things, we can

understand that the reason why the Lord might wish to bend

before His unprincipled tempters and to write on the ground

was that by directing His look elsewhere He might give

them the freedom to go away. He foresaw that as they had

been astounded by His answer, they would be more inclined

to depart quickly than to ask Him more questions...

Figuratively speaking, the fact that both before and after

He gave His opinion He bent and wrote on the ground

admonishes us that both before we rebuke a sinning

neighbor and after we have rendered to him the ministry of

due correction, we should subject ourselves to a suitably

humble examination, lest perhaps we be entangled in the

same things that we censure in [our neighbors] or in any

other sort of misdeeds. For it often comes about, for

example, that people who publicly judge a murderer to be a

sinner may not perceive the worse evil of the hatred with

which they themselves despoil someone in secret. People

who bring an accusation against a fornicator may ignore the

plague of the pride with which they congratulate themselves

for their own chastity. People who condemn a drunkard may

not see the venom of envy with which they themselves are

eaten away.

In dangers of this sort, what saving remedy is left for us

except that, when we look at some other sinner, we

immediately bend down - that is, we humbly observe how

we would be cast down by our frail condition if divine

benevolence did not keep us from falling? Let us write with

a finger on the ground - that is, let us meticulously ponder

with discrimination whether we can say with blessed Job,

'For our heart does not censure us in all our life' (Job 27:6),

and let us painstakingly remember that if our heart censures

us, God is greater than our heart and He knows all

things." (excerpt from HOMILIES ON THE GOSPELS

1.25)

SILENCESILENCESILENCESILENCE Even before the celebration itself, it is a praiseworthy practice for silence to be observed in the church, in the sacristy, in the vesting room, and in adjacent areas, so that all may dispose themselves to carry out the sacred celebration in a devout and fitting manner.
