AUGUSTINIAN BULLETIN BOARD - November 2001
Dedication
Pour forth the gospel; with your mouth scatter the seeds you have conceived in your heart. Let the nations bear, let the nations believe, let the nations burgeon with luxuriant growth, let a bride be born in the purple to the Lord from the blood of the martyrs.
And how many more have they joined, by being given birth to by her? How many members have adhered to the head and are adhering now? And these have been baptized, and others will be baptized, and after us will come others. Then, I say, at the end of the world the stones will attach themselves to the foundation, living stones, holy stones, so that at the end the whole building may be built up out of that Church; indeed out of this very Church, which is now singing the new song, while the house is being built. That, you see, is what this psalm says, when the house was being built after the captivity. What does it say? Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth. What a great house it is! But when does it sing a new song? While it is being built. When is it dedicated? At the end of time. Its foundation has already been dedicated, because he has ascended into heaven, and dies no more. When we too have risen again, so as never to die anymore, that is when we too will be dedicated.
