25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	16 <p>2177 Above, our Lord consoled his disciples by example and
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	17 encouragement; here he comforts them by his prayer. In this prayer he does
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	18 three things: first, he prays for himself; secondly, for the group of the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	19 disciples (v 6); thirdly, for all the faithful (v 20). He does three things
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	20 with the first: first, he makes his request; secondly, he states the fruit of
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	21 this request, <b>that the Son may glorify you; </b>thirdly, he mentions why his
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	22 request deserves to be heard (v 4). In regard to the first point: first, we see
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	23 the order he followed in his prayer; secondly, the way he prayed; thirdly, the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	24 words he used.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	25
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	26 <p>2178 The order he followed was fitting, because he prayed
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	27 after first encouraging them. So we read, <b>When Jesus had spoken these words.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	28 </b>This gives us the example to help by our prayers those we are teaching by
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	29 our words, because religious teaching has its greatest effect in the hearts of
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	30 those who hear it when it is supported by a prayer which asks for divine help:
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	31 "Pray for us, that the word of the Lord may speed on and triumph" (2 Thess
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	32 3:1). Again, our sermon should end with a prayer: "The sum of our words is: 'he
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	33 is the all.'"
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	34
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	35 <p>2179 The way he prayed is that <b>he lifted up his eyes to
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	36 heaven</b>. There is a difference between the prayer of Christ and our own
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	37 prayer: our prayer arises solely from our needs, while the prayer of Christ is
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	38 more for our instruction, for there was no need for him to pray for himself,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	39 since together with his Father he answers prayers. He instructs us here by his
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	40 words and actions. He teaches us by his actions in lifting up his eyes, so that
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	41 we also will lift our eyes to heaven when we pray: "To you I lift up my eyes, O
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	42 you who are enthroned in the heavens!" (Ps 123:1). And not just our eyes, but
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	43 also our actions, by referring them to God: "Let us lift up our hearts and
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	44 hands to God in heaven" (Lam 3:41). He teaches us by his words, for he said his
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	45 prayer publicly, and said, so that those whom he taught by teaching he might
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	46 also teach by praying. We are taught not just by the words of Christ, but also
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	47 by his actions.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	48
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	49 <p>2180 His words are effective; thus he says, <b>Father, the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	50 hour has come. </b>Their effectiveness is caused by three things. First, by the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	51 love of the one praying. For the Son is praying to his Father and petitioning
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	52 the Father because of his love for the Father. So he says, <b>Father, </b>to
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	53 show us that we should pray to God with the affection of his children: "And I
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	54 thought you would call me, My Father, and would not turn from following me"
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	55 (Jer 3:19).
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	56
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	57 <p>Secondly, his prayer is effective
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	58 because of the need for this prayer; for as he says, <b>the hour has come, </b>for
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	59 his passion, about which he had said before: "My hour has not yet come" (2:4).
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	60 The hour, I say, not the season, not the day, because Christ was to be seized
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	61 right away. Not an hour fixed but fate, but chosen by his own plan and good
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	62 pleasure. And it is appropriate that right before he prays he mentions his
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	63 troubles, because God especially hears us when we are troubled: "In my troubles
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	64 I cried to the Lord, and he heard me" [Ps 120:1]; "Since we do not know what to
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	65 do, we can only turn our eyes to you" [2 Chron 20:12]. Thirdly, his prayer is
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	66 effective because of its content, <b>glorify your Son.</b>
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	67
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	68 <p>2181 But the Son of God is Wisdom itself, and this has the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	69 greatest glory: "Wisdom is radiant and unfading" (Wis 6:13). How then can he
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	70 speak of glory being glorified, especially since he is the splendor of the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	71 Father (Heb 1:3)? We should say that Christ asked to be glorified by the Father
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	72 in three ways. First, in his passion, and this was done by the many miracles
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	73 which occurred: for the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	74 and graves were opened. This was referred to before (12:28): "I have glorified
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	75 it," by the miracles occurring before the passion, "and I will glorify it
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	76 again," during the passion. With this understanding Christ says, <b>glorify </b>me
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	77 in my passion by showing that I am your Son. And so the centurion, after seeing
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	78 the miracles, said: "Truly, this was the Son of God" (Mt 27:54).
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	79
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	80 <p>Secondly, Christ sought to be
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	81 glorified in his resurrection. His holy soul was always joined to God and
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	82 possessed glory from the vision of God: "We have beheld his glory, glory as of
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	83 the only Son from the Father" (1:14). From the beginning of his conception, his
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	84 soul was glorified, but in the resurrection he had glory of body also, referred
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	85 to in "Jesus Christ, who will change our lowly body to be like his glorious
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	86 body" (Phil 3:21). Thirdly, he sought to be glorified in the knowledge of all
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	87 people: "Because of her I shall have glory among the multitudes and honor in
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	88 the presence of the elders" (Wis 8:10).
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	89
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	90 <p>And so he says, <b>glorify your
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	91 Son, </b>that is, show the entire world that I am your Son, in the strict
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	92 sense: by birth, not by creation (in opposition to Arius, who said that the Son
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	93 of God is a creature); in truth, not just in name (against Sabellius, who said
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	94 that the same person is now called Father and then called Son); by origin, not
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	95 adoption (in opposition to Nestorius, who said that Christ was an adopted son).
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	96
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	97 <p>2182 Now we see the fruit of his being glorified: first, the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	98 fruit is mentioned; secondly, it is explained, <b>since you have given him
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	99 power...</b>
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	100
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	101 <p>2183 The fruit of the Son's being glorified is that the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	102 Father is glorified; thus he says, <b>that the Son may glorify you. </b>When
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	103 Arius observed that our Lord said, <b>glorify your Son, </b>he supposed that
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	104 the Father is greater than the Son. This is true if we consider the Son in his
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	105 human nature: "The Father in greater than I" (14:28). Consequently, Christ
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	106 adds, <b>that the Son may glorify you </b>(in the knowledge of men) to show he
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	107 is equal to the Father as regards the divine nature. Now glory is renown joined
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	108 with praise. Formerly, God was renowned among the Jews: "In Judah God is known"
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	109 (Ps 76:1); but later, through his Son, he was known throughout the entire
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	110 world. Holy people also increase God's renown by their good works: "That they
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	111 may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven" (Mt
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	112 5:16). Above Christ said: "I do not seek my own glory; there is One who seeks
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	113 it and he will be the judge" (8:50).
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	114
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	115 <p>2184 Now we have the fruit of Christ's request: first, we
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	116 see the benefit conferred on us by Christ; secondly, he shows that this benefit
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	117 is related to the glory of the Father (v 3).
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	118
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	119 <p>1285 He says, <b>that the Son may glorify you, </b>and this <b>since
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	120 you have given him power over all flesh. </b>We should know that what acts in
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	121 virtue of another tends in its effect to reveal that other: for the action of a
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	122 principle which proceeds from another principle manifests this principle. Now
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	123 whatever the Son has he has from the Father; and thus it is necessary that what
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	124 the Son does manifests the Father. Thus he says to the Father, <b>you have
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	125 given him power </b>over all human beings. By this power the Son ought to lead
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	126 them to a knowledge of t he Father, which is eternal life. This is the meaning
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	127 of, <b>that the Son may glorify you, since you have given him power over all

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	154
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	155 <p>Two things need explanation here.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	156 First, why he says, <b>this is eternal life, that they may know. </b>Note that
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	157 strictly speaking, we call those things living which move themselves to their
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	158 activities. Those things which are only moved by other things are not living,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	159 but dead. And so all those activities to which an active thing moves itself are
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	160 called living activities, for example, to will, to understand, to sense, to
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	161 grow and to move about. Now a thing is said to be alive in two senses. First
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	162 because it has living activities in potency, as one who is asleep is said to
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	163 have sensitive life because it has the power to move itself about, although it
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	164 is not actually doing so. Or, something is said to be alive because it is
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	165 actually engaged in living activities, and then it is alive in the full sense.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	166 For this reason one who is asleep is said to be half alive. Among living
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	167 activities the highest is the activity of the intellect, which is to
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	168 understand. And thus the activity of the intellect is living activity in the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	169 highest degree. Now just as the sense in act is identified with the sense‑object
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	170 in act, so also the intellect in act is identified with the thing understood in
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	171 act. Since then intellectual understanding is living activity, and to
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	172 understand is to live, it follows that to understand an eternal reality is to
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	173 live with an eternal life. But God is an eternal reality, and so to understand
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	174 and see God is eternal life.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	175
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	176 <p>Accordingly our Lord says that
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	177 eternal life lies in vision, in seeing, that is, it consists in this basically
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	178 and in its whole substance. But it is love which moves one to this vision, and
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	179 is in a certain way its fulfillment: for the completion and crown of beatitude
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	180 (happiness) is the delight experienced in the enjoyment of God, and this is
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	181 caused by charity. Still, the substance of beatitude consists in vision,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	182 seeing: "We shall see him as he is" (1 Jn 3:2).
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	183
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	184 <p>2187 Secondly, we should explain the phrase, <b>you the only
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	185 true God. </b>It is clear that Christ was speaking to the Father, so when he
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	186 says, <b>you the only true God, </b>it seems that only God the Father is true
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	187 God. The Arians agree with this, for they say that the Son differs by essence
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	188 from the Father, since the Son is a created substance, although he shares in
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	189 the divinity more perfectly and to a greater degree than do all other
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	190 creatures. So much more that the Son is called God, but not the true God,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	191 because he is not God by nature, which only the Father is.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	192
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	193 <p>Hilary answers this by saying that
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	194 when we want to know whether a certain thing is true, we can determine it from
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	195 two things: its nature and its power.<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3">[3]</a>
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	196 For true gold is that which has the species of true gold; and we determine this
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	197 if it acts like true gold. Therefore, if we maintain that the Son has the true
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	198 nature of God, because the Son exercises the true activities of divinity, it is
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	199 clear that the Son is true God. Now the Son does perform true works of
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	200 divinity, for we read, "Whatever he [the Father] does, that the Son does
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	201 likewise" (5:19); and again he said, "For as the Father has life in himself,"
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	202 which is not a participated life, "so he has granted the Son also to have life
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	203 in himself" (5:26); "That we may be in his true Son, Jesus Christ. This is the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	204 true God and eternal life" [1 Jn 5:20].
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	205
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	206 <p>According to Hilary, he says, <b>you
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	207 the only true God</b>, in a way that does not exclude another. He does not say
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	208 without qualification, <b>you the only</b>, but adds <b>and Jesus Christ whom
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	209 you have sent.<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><b>[4]</b></a>
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	210 </b>It is like saying: that they know you <b>and Jesus Christ whom you have
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	211 sent </b>to be the one and only true God. This is a pattern of speaking that we
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	212 also use when we say [in the <i>Gloria</i>]: "<i>You alone, </i>Jesus Christ,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	213 are the most high, <i>together with </i>the Holy Spirit." No mention is made of
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	214 the Holy Spirit because whenever the Father and the Son are mentioned, and
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	215 especially in matters pertaining to the grandeur of the divinity, the Holy
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	216 Spirit, who is the bond of the Father and Son, is implied.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	217
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	218 <p>2188 Or, according to Augustine in his work, <i>The Trinity,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	219 </i>he says this to exclude the error of those who claim that it is false to
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	220 say that the Father is God, and the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God;
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	221 while it is true to say that the Father and the Son and Holy Spirit are one
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	222 God.<a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5">[5]</a>
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	223 The reason for this opinion was that the Apostle said that "Christ [is] the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	224 power of God and the Wisdom of God" (1 Cor 1:24). Now it is clear that we
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	225 cannot call anyone God unless he has divine power and wisdom. Therefore, since
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	226 these people held that the Father was wisdom, which is the Son, they held further
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	227 that the Father considered without the Son would not be God. And the same
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	228 applies to the Son and the Holy Spirit.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	229
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	230 <p>The incarnation of the Son of God
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	231 is indicated by saying that he was sent. So when he says here, <b>and Jesus
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	232 Christ whom you have sent, </b>we are led to understand that in eternal life we
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	233 will also rejoice in the humanity of Christ: "Your eyes will see the king,"
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	234 that is, Christ, "in his beauty" (Is 33:17); "He will go in and out and find
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	235 pasture" (10:9).
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	236
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	237 <p>2189 Now we see why Christ's prayer deserves to be heard:
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	238 first, he mentions why he deserves this; secondly, he states the reward, <b>Father,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	239 glorify me</b>.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	240
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	241 <p>2190 He states that he merited to be heard for two reasons.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	242 First, because of his teaching, when he says, <b>I glorified you on earth</b>,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	243 that is, in the minds of men, by manifesting you in my teaching: "Glorify the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	244 Lord in teaching" [Is 24:15]. Secondly, I glorified you by my obedience; thus
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	245 he said, <b>I ... having accomplished the work</b>. He uses the past tense in
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	246 place of the future: <b>I glorified </b>for "I will glorify," and <b>accomplished</b>
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	247 in place of "I will accomplish." He does this because these things had already
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	248 begun, and also because the hour of his passion, when his work would be
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	249 accomplished, was very near.

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	251 <p>"The work which <b>you gave me</b>
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	252 to do," not merely ordered. It is not enough [for a work to be accomplished]
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	253 for Christ and us to be ordered by God, because whatever Christ as man
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	254 accomplished and whatever we can do is God's gift, God gave us this: "I knew

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	256 I say, by the gift of grace, to do, that is, to accomplish.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	257
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	258 <p>2191 The reward for Christ's obedience and teaching is
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	259 glory: "He humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even death on a
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	260 cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name which
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	261 is above every name" (Phil 2:8). And so Christ asks for his reward, saying, <b>and

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	314 he mentions three reasons for praying for them: first, because they were taught

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	334 <p>2195 There is a problem with this: Since God the Father was

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	336 why does Christ say, <b>I have manifested your name</b>. I answer that the name
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	337 of God the Father can be known in three ways. In one way, as the creator of all
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	338 things; and this is the way the Gentiles knew him: "His invisible nature ...
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	339 has been clearly perceived in the things that have been made" (Rom 1:20); "God
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	340 has shown it to them" (Rom 1:19). In another way [the Father can be known] as
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	341 the only one to whom the veneration of <i>latria</i> [adoration] is to be
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	342 given. He was not known to the Gentiles in this way, for they gave the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	343 veneration of <i>latria</i> to other gods. He was known in this way only to the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	344 Jews, for they alone had been commanded in their law to sacrifice only to the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	345 Lord: "Whoever sacrifices to any god, save to the Lord only, shall be utterly
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	346 destroyed" (Ex 22:20). Thirdly, he can be known as the Father of an only Son,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	347 Jesus Christ. He was not known to anyone in this way, but did become so known
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	348 through his Son when the apostles believed that Christ was the Son of God.

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	350 <p>2196 He gives the second reason why he prays for them when
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	351 he says, <b>whom you gave me</b>. First, he mentions that they were given to
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	352 him, from which we can see the reason or way they were given. He says, <b>whom
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	353 you gave me</b>, that is, it is to these that <b>I have manifested your name</b>.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	354 But did Christ possess them as the Father possessed them? Yes he did, insofar
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	355 as he was God. But he says, <b>whom you gave me</b>, that is, to me as man, to
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	356 listen to me and obey me: "No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	357 draws him" (6:44). Those who come to Christ do so through the gift and grace of
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	358 God: "For by grace you have been saved ... it is the gift of God" (Eph 2:8).
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	359 You gave them to me out of the world, that is, they were chosen from the world:
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	360 "I chose you out of the world" (5:19). For even though the entire world was
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	361 given to the Son insofar as he was God, the apostles were given to the Son to
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	362 obey. He mentions the reason for this giving when he says, <b>thine they were</b>.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	363 This is like saying: the reason they were given is that <b>thine they were</b>,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	364 and mine, and predestined from eternity to attain by grace a future glory: "He
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	365 chose us in him before the foundation of the world" (Eph 1:4). <b>And you gave

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	367 what was previously predestined for them with me and in me.

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	369 <p>2197 The third reason for praying for the disciples, based
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	370 on their devotion, is mentioned when he says, <b>they have kept your word</b>.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	371 First, he mentions their devotion to the Son; secondly, he shows that this
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	372 devotion gives glory to the Father, <b>they know that everything that you have
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	373 given to me is from you; </b>thirdly, we see the reason this gives glory to the

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	376 <p>2198 As to the first: he had said that you gave them to me
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	377 because <b>thine they were</b>. And they were devoted because <b>they have kept

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	382 <p>2199 Father, the fact that they kept your word in this way gives
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	383 you glory. For this is my word: everything I have I have from you. <b>Now they

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	385 human nature, is from you: "We have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	387 the Father. And because they know this, the Father receives glory in their

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	392 he says, <b>for I have given them the words which you gave me</b>. First he
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	393 states that knowledge comes from the Father to the disciples; secondly, that
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	394 the minds of the disciples are led back to the Father.

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	396 <p>2201 It is stated that knowledge is given in two ways. In
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	397 the first way the Father gives to the Son. Thus he says: <b>the words which you
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	398 gave me</b>, in my eternal generation, in which the Father gave words to the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	399 Son, although the Son himself is the Word of the Father. These words are
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	400 nothing else than the patterns or plans of everything which is to be done. And
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	401 all these patterns the Father gave to the Son in generating him. Or, it could
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	402 be said that the you gave me refers to the humanity of Christ, because from the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	403 very instant of his conception the most holy soul of Christ was full with all
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	404 knowledge of the truth, "full of grace and truth" (1:14), that is, with the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	405 knowledge of every truth: "In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	406 knowledge" (Col 2:3).
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	407
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	408 <p>The other giving of knowledge is
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	409 from Christ to his disciples, so he says, <b>I have given them</b>, by teaching
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	410 them, both from without and from within: "For all that I have heard from my
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	411 Father I have made known to you" (15:15). By saying this he shows that he is
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	412 the mediator between God and man (1 Tim 2:5), because what he received from the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	413 Father he passed on to the disciples: "I stood between the Lord and you at that
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	414 time, to declare to you the word of the Lord" (Deut 5:5).

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	416 <p>2202 He mentions that the minds of the disciples were led
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	417 back to the Father when he says, <b>and they have received them</b>. Two kinds
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	418 of receiving are mentioned, corresponding to the two kinds of giving previously
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	419 stated. One kind of receiving corresponds to the second kind of giving [the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	420 giving by Christ to the disciples] and as to this he says, <b>and they have
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	421 received them</b>, from me, without resisting: "The Lord God has opened my ear,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	422 and I was not rebellious" (Is 50:5); "Every one who has heard and learned from
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	423 the Father comes to me" (6:45). And receiving them, <b>they know in truth that
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	424 I came from you, </b>that you have given me all things, and this corresponds to
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	425 the first kind of giving [of the Father to the Son].
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	426
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	427 <p>2203 According to Augustine the words that follow, <b>and
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	428 they have believed that you did send me</b>, are added to explain the previous
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	429 sentence, "I came from you."<a href="#_ftn12" name="_ftnref12">[12]</a>
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	430 Knowledge of God is of two kinds: one is perfect, by the clear vision of glory;
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	431 the other is imperfect, through faith: "For now we see in a mirror dimly," in
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	432 the second way, "but then face to face," in the first way (1 Cor 13:12). He
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	433 says [in the previous sentence], <b>they know in truth that I came from you. </b>But
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	434 what kind of knowledge was this? The knowledge of our homeland, heaven? No, it
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	435 was the knowledge of faith. And so he adds, <b>and they have believed</b>,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	436 indicating that to know this is to believe it. <b>They have believed </b>I say,<b>
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	437 in truth</b>, that<b> </b>is, firmly and strongly: "Do you now believe?" that
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	438 is, firmly. "The hour is coming" when you will believe completely (16:31). He
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	439 uses the past tense, <b>have believed</b>, in place of the future tense because
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	440 of his certainty about the future, and because of the infallibility of divine
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	441 predestination.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	442
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	443 <p>Or, according to Chrysostom, he
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	444 uses the past tense to indicate that these things have already happened,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	445 because they had already begun.<a href="#_ftn13" name="_ftnref13">[13]</a>
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	446 We can harmonize both of these interpretations because all these things had
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	447 already begun, but they still remained to be completed. Thus, in reference to
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	448 what has already begun, he speaks in the past tense, but in reference to their
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	449 completion he speaks in the future, because they would be accomplished by the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	450 coming of the Holy Spirit.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	451
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	452 <p>2204 But what did they believe? <b>That you did send me</b>:
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	453 "God sent his Son" [Gal 4:4]. According to Augustine this is the same as "I
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	454 came <i>(exire, </i>come, come forth) from you" (v 8).<a href="#_ftn14"

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	456 This does not agree with Hilary for whom, as was said, "to come forth" <i>(exire)
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	457 </i>refers to the eternal generation of the Son, and "to be sent" refers to the

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	459 But I say that we can speak of Christ in two ways. In one way, from the point
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	460 of view of his divinity; and then, insofar as he is the Son of God "to come
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	461 forth" and "to be sent" are not the same, as Hilary says. Or, we can speak of
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	462 Christ from the point of view of his humanity; and then, insofar as he is the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	463 Son of man, "to come forth" and "to be sent" are the same, as Augustine says.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	464
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	465 <p>2205 Now we see the reasons, founded on himself, why Christ
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	466 prayed for his disciples. He mentions three reasons.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	467
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	468 <p>2206 One is based on the authority he had received over
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	469 them. In reference to this he says, <b>I am praying for them</b>, that is, the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	470 disciples. First we see the reason; secondly, its explanation, <b>for they are
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	471 yours</b>.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	472
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	473 <p>The reason why a person's prayer
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	474 should be heard and why he should pray for others is that they belong to him in
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	475 a special way; for general prayers are less likely to be heard. Accordingly he
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	476 says, <b>I am praying for them; I am not praying for the world, </b>that is,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	477 the lovers of the world, <b>but for those whom you have given me</b>,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	478 especially as obedient disciples, although all things are mine, under my
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	479 authority: "Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage" (Ps 2:8).
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	480
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	481 <p>2207 To the contrary, it seems that he prayed for all: "We
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	482 have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; and he is the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	483 expiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	484 whole world" (1 Jn 2:1); "God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved" (1
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	485 Tim 2:4). We should say to this that Christ did pray for all because his prayer
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	486 is powerful enough to benefit the entire world. Yet it does not produce its
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	487 effect in all, but only in the elect and saints of God. This is because of the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	488 obstacles present in the worldly.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	489
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	490 <p>2208 He gives a reason for why he prays for them when he
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	491 says, <b>for they are yours</b>, that is, by eternal predestination. But they
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	492 were not yours in such a way that the Son could not have them; nor were they
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	493 given to the Son in such a way that they were taken from the Father. Thus he
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	494 says, <b>all mine are yours, and yours are mine. </b>This indicates the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	495 equality of the Son with the Father, for the Son, insofar as he is God, has
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	496 from all eternity everything that the Father has.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	497
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	498 <p>2209 Note that the Father has certain things that belong to
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	499 his essence, like wisdom, goodness, and things of that kind; and these things
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	500 are nothing else but his essence. And the Son asserts that he himself has this
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	501 when, speaking of the procession of the Holy Spirit, he says: "He will receive
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	502 from me and declare it to you" [16:14]. This is because "All that the Father
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	503 has is mine" (16:15). He says all [using a plural form], because while all
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	504 these things are one in reality, we apprehend them with many ideas.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	505
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	506 <p>Secondly, the Father has certain
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	507 things that relate to those who possess holiness or sanctity, who are set apart
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	508 for him through faith, such as all the saints and the elect, of whom it was
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	509 said, "thine they were" (v 6). All these things, too, the Son asserts that he
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	510 has when he says here, speaking of them, <b>and yours are mine, </b>because
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	511 they have been predestined to enjoy the Son as well as the Father.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	512
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	513 <p>Thirdly, the Father has some things
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	514 in a general way because of their origin, for example, all created things: "The
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	515 earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof" (Ps 24:1). All these too belong
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	516 to the Son. Thus in the parable of the prodigal son, the father says to his
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	517 older son: "Son ... all that is mine is yours" (Lk 15:31).
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	518
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	519 <p>2210 The second reason why Christ prayed for his disciples

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	527 that one is said to be "in the world" in two senses. First, by clinging to the

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	532 by his physical presence, for while he had been in the world physically, he
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	533 would soon physically leave it. But they, the disciples, are in the world,

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	553 apostles, he here makes his petitions: first, he asks for their protection;
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	554 secondly, for their sanctification, sanctify them (v 17). They are to be
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	555 protected from evil, and sanctified by good. In regard to the first he does two

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	559 <p>2213 In regard to the first, four things must be considered:
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	560 whom he asks; what he asks for; for whom he asks; and why he asks. The one he
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	561 asks is the Father; so he says, <b>Father</b>: and with good reason, for the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	562 Father is the source of every good: "Every good endowment and every perfect

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	564 <b>Holy, </b>because the Father is also the source and origin of all holiness
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	565 and because, in the last analysis, he was asking for the sanctification of the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	566 apostles: "You shall be holy; for I the Lord your God am holy" (Lev 19:2);

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	569 <p>He asks for their protection, saying,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	570 <b>keep them</b>, for as we read: "Unless the Lord builds the house, those who
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	571 build it labor in vain" (Ps 127:1). For our good consists not only in receiving
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	572 existence from God, but also in being kept in existence by God, because as
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	573 Gregory says: "All things would return to nothingness, if the hand of the

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	577 Psalmist prays: "Keep me, O Lord, for I have put my trust in you" [Ps 16:1].
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	578 Now we are kept from evil and from sin in the name of God; thus he says, <b>keep

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	584 <p>He is praying for those who were
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	585 given to him; he says, <b>which you have given me: </b>"Consider the work of

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	587 be kept from evil only by God's choice, which is indicated when he says, <b>which

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	590 (Mt 19:11). Those who are given to Christ in this way are kept from evil.

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	592 <p>Then he states why he is asking for
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	593 their protection, saying, <b>that they may be one, even as we are one. </b>This
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	594 can be connected with what has gone before in two ways. In the first way, it
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	595 shows the way they will be kept or protected. Then the meaning is: They will be
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	596 kept and protected by being kept as one. For a thing is preserved in existence
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	597 as long as it remains one, and it ceases to be when it become divided: "Every
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	598 kingdom divided against itself is laid waste" (Mt 12:23). Accordingly, the Church
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	599 and people can be preserved if they remain one. In another way this phrase can
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	600 state the purpose of their being kept. Then the meaning is this: Let them be
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	601 kept or protected so that they may be one: for our entire perfection lies in a
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	602 unity of spirit: "eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	603 peace" (Eph 4:3); "Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	604 unity" (Ps 133:1).
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	605
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	606 <p>2214 He adds, <b>even as we are one</b>. This causes a
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	607 problem. The Father and Son are one in essence. And so we also will be one in
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	608 essence? This is not true. The solution is that the perfection of each thing is
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	609 nothing but sharing a likeness to God; for we are good to the extent that we
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	610 resemble God. Accordingly, our unity contributes to our perfection to the extent
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	611 that it shares in the unity of God. Now there is a twofold unity in God. There
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	612 is a unity of nature: "I and the Father are one" (10:30); and a unity of love
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	613 in the Father and Son, which is a unity of spirit. Both of these unities are
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	614 found in us, not in an equal way, but with a certain likeness. The Father and
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	615 the Son have the same individual nature [literally "numerically the same
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	616 nature"], while we have the same specific nature. Again, they are one by a love
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	617 which is not a participated love and a gift from another; rather, this love
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	618 proceeds from them, for the Father and Son love themselves by the Holy Spirit.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	619 We are one by participating in a higher love.<a href="#_ftn17" name="_ftnref17"

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	623 They need it for two reasons: because he is leaving them; and because the world
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	624 hates them (v 14). He does three things about the first: he recalls the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	625 eagerness with which he protected them while he was with them; secondly, he
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	626 states he is leaving (v 13a); thirdly, he mentions why he is saying these
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	627 things (v 13b). Three things are done with the first: first, he mentions the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	628 way he protected them; secondly, his obligation to protect them; and thirdly,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	629 the effectiveness of his protection.

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	631 <p>2216 The way they were protected was appropriate, because it
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	632 was by the power of the Father. Accordingly, he says, <b>While I was with them,

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	698 In this case, these words (v 13) indicate the fruit of being one. It is like

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	718 <p>2223 The result of this is the hatred of the world: because
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	719 they have received your word, <b>the world has hated them: </b>"Blessed are you

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	721 you" (1 Jn 3:13). The reason for this hatred is that they have left the world.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	722 For the word of God causes us to leave the world since it unites us to God, and
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	723 one cannot be joined to God without leaving the world, for one who loves the

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	739 <p>2225 Then he asks for help in facing this hatred when he

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	744 <p>2226 He mentions two things in the first. He says he is not
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	745 asking for one thing, which is that they be taken out of the world. But how can
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	746 they be taken out of the world who are not of the world? We should say that
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	747 they are not of the world as regards their affections, as we said before. But

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	749 way he does not want them to be taken out of the world. This is because they
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	750 would be of benefit to the faithful whom they would bring to the faith: "Go

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	753 <p>He asks for something else, namely,

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	757 entire world is set in evil: "When you pass through the waters I will be with

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	760 <p>2227 He gives the reason for this request when he says, <b>they

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	766
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	767 <p>We can see from this that the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	768 reason why the saints are hated by the world is the same as the reason why God
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	769 loves them, that is, their disdain for the world: "Has not God chosen those who

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	807 Testament everything set aside for divine worship was said to be sanctified:

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	813 <p>2230 The need for their sanctification is added when he

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	826 Christ is holy by essence, considering his divine nature; while he is holy by

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	828 Referring to his divine nature he says, <b>I sanctify myself</b>, by taking on

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	840 In the Old Testament there were sanctifications of the body: "Cleansing of the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	841 body imposed until the time comes to set things right" [Heb 9:10]. These were
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	842 figures of a spiritual sanctification, and these figures involved the offering
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	843 of some sacrifice. And so it was appropriate that some sacrifice be offered for
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	844 the sanctification of the disciples. This is what he is saying: I sanctify
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	845 myself in order that they might be sanctified, that is, I am offering myself as
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	846 a sacrifice: "who offered himself without blemish to God" (Heb 9:14); "So Jesus

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	896 not seem that Christ prayed for them. The answer, according to Augustine, is

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	901 The word of faith is called the word of the apostles because they were

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	910 We should say that although we do not believe through the apostles, we do

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	919 As the Platonists say, a thing acquires its unity from that from which it
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	920 acquires its goodness. For that is good for a thing which preserves it; and a
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	921 thing is preserved only if it remains one. Thus when our Lord prays that his
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	922 disciples be perfect in goodness, he prays that they be one. Indeed, this was

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	927 <p>2239 He gives an example of this unity and its cause,

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	930 unites in good, that is, in God. And so he says, <b>as you, Father, are in me,

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	937 <p>2240 Arius uses this passage to argue that the Son is in the

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	939 we are not in God by a unity of essence, but by a conformity of will and love.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	940 Therefore, he says, like us, the Father is not in the Son by a unity of

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	943 <p>We should say to this that there is
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	944 a twofold unity of the Father and the Son: a unity of essence and of love. In
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	945 both of these ways the Father is in the Son and the Son is in the Father. The <b>even

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	947 love, according to Augustine, and then the meaning is: <b>even as you, Father,

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	950 It is like saying: as the Father loves the Son and the Son loves the Father, so
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	951 the disciples love the Father and the Son. Then the words even as do not imply

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	954 <p>Or, according to Hilary, this
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	955 statement can refer to a unity of nature; not indeed that the same numerical

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	959 In this case the words<b> even as</b> indicate a certain imitation. That is why
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	960 we are invited to imitate divine love: "Be imitators of God, as beloved

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	965 <p>2241 He indicates the fruit of this unity when he says, <b>so

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	973 <p>2242 There is a problem here. If we will be perfectly one in

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	975 say, after mentioning unity, <b>that the world may believe that you have sent

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	979 <p>2243 There is another problem. Our Lord is praying that
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	980 those who believe in him may be one; therefore, even the believing world is

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	983 Lord is praying that all believers be one. Yet all would not believe at the

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	985 So when he says, <b>that the world may believe</b>, it refers to those who did
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	986 not believe at first, from the beginning, but when they did believe they did

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1059 <p>2248 Referring to the first explanation [the unity from
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1060 grace], since the Father also, as well as the Son, is in them by grace - "We

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1062 in them</b>, without mentioning the Father? According to Augustine, he does
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1063 this because they have access to the Father through the Son: "We have peace
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1064 with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have obtained access"
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1065 (Rom 5:1); and it does not mean that the Son is in them without the Father. Or,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1066 according to Chrysostom, above Christ said, "We will come to him" (14:23), to
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1067 indicate that there is a plurality of divine persons, contrary to Sabellius;
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1068 but here he says, <b>I in them</b>, to indicate the equality of the Father and
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1069 the Son, contrary to Arius. We can understand from this that it is enough for
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1070 the faithful if the Son alone dwells in them.

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1072 <p>2249 The purpose of this unity is given when he says, <b>so

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1076 would indicate just a beginning state. But here he is saying,<b> know</b>,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1077 because complete knowledge, not faith, comes after imperfect knowledge.

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1170 where I am</b>. This can be understood in two ways. In the first way it can be
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1171 understood of Christ in his human nature. Christ, in his human nature, is soon
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1172 to ascend and to be in heaven: "I am ascending to my Father and your Father"
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1173 (20:17). Then the meaning is: <b>I desire that they also, </b>the faithful, <b>may
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1174 be with me, </b>in heaven, <b>where I am</b> about to ascend: "Wherever the

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1176 (Mt 24:28). For this is what Christ promised: "Rejoice and be glad, for your

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1179 <p>2257 There is a difficulty with this meaning. Since Christ
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1180 was not yet in heaven, he should have said, "where I will be," and not "where I
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1181 am." And besides, he also said, "No one has ascended into heaven but he who
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1182 descended from heaven" (3:13).

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1184 <p>I reply to the first that Christ,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1185 who was speaking, was both God and man. And although he was not yet in heaven
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1186 in his human nature, he was there in his divine nature. And so, while present
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1187 on earth, he was in heaven; and thus he says, <b>where I am</b>.

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1189 <p>As to the second objection, when we
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1190 read that "No one has ascended into heaven but he who descended from heaven"
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1191 (3:13), we should understand that the Son is in heaven by reason of his
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1192 divinity, and descended by taking on a human nature, and then ascended by

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1194 him. Thus, he alone comes, in himself, by descending from heaven, and he alone
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1195 returns there, now one with us, by ascending into heaven. This is the

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1203 <p>2258 But since God is everywhere ‑ "Do I not fill

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1205 will be everywhere. We should reply to this that God is related to us like

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1227 can be understood to refer to the glory of his human nature after the

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1230 radiance of the Father's glory and the image of his substance, as we see from
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1231 Hebrews (1:3); "The radiance of eternal light" [Wis 7:26]. The saints in glory
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1232 will see both of these glories. We read about the first [the glory of Christ's
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1233 human nature]: "Your eyes will see the king in his beauty" (Is 33:17). The
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1234 wicked will see this glory only at the judgment: "And then they will see the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1235 Son of man coming in a cloud with power and majesty" [Lk 21:27]; and Mark adds
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1236 "and glory" (Mk 13:26). But the sight of this glory will be taken away from
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1237 them after the judgment: "Let the wicked be taken away so they cannot see the

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1239 see the second glory [that of the divine nature] forever: "In your light," that

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1243 <p>2261 The source of this glory is the Father: so he says, <b>which
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1244 you have given me. </b>He gave him the glory of his body at the resurrection.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1245 Although this still remained to be done, it had already been done in the divine
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1246 decree; and this is why he says, <b>have given: </b>"You have crowned him with
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1247 glory" [Ps 8:5]. But he gave him divine glory from all eternity, because the Son
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1248 is from the Father from all eternity, like radiance from light.

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1250 <p>2262 He gives the explanation for the glory given to him
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1251 when he says, <b>in your love for me before the foundation of the world. </b>If
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1252 we refer this to Christ in his human nature, then the <i>in</i><b> </b>indicates
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1253 the cause. For just as love and predestination are the cause why we have the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1254 radiance of grace in the present life and of glory in the future ‑ "He
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1255 chose us in him before the foundation of the world" (Eph 1:4) ‑ so also
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1256 it is the cause of the radiance which Christ has in his human nature,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1257 "predestined the Son of God in power" [Rom 1:4]. So the meaning is this: I say
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1258 that you have given me this radiance: and the cause of this is that you have

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1260 result being that this man is united to the Son of God to form one person:
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1261 "Blessed is he whom you choose and bring near, to dwell in your courts" (Ps

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1264 <p>If we refer this to Christ as God,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1265 then the <i>in </i>indicates a sign. For then the Father did not give because
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1266 he loved: for when we say the Father gave to the Son we are referring to the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1267 eternal generation of the Son. If love is taken essentially, it indicates the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1268 divine will; if it is taken notionally, it indicates the Holy Spirit. Now it was
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1269 by nature that the Father gave radiance to the Son, not by his will, because
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1270 the Father begot the Son by nature. And so he also did not give to the Son

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1275 Before, our Lord had included the faithful in his petition when he said, "I do

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1279 the reason for this: first, he mentions the failure of the world; secondly, the

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1294 can be known about God is plain to them. Ever since the creation of the world
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1295 his invisible nature, namely, his eternal power and deity, has been clearly
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1296 perceived in the things that have been made." We should say to this that
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1297 knowledge is of two kinds: one is speculative, and the other affective. Through
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1298 neither of these ways did the world know God completely. Although some Gentiles
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1299 knew God as having some of those attributes which are knowable by reason, they
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1300 did not know God as the Father of an only begotten and consubstantial Son ‑
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1301 and our Lord is talking about knowledge of these things.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1302
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1303 <p>Again, if they did have some
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1304 speculative knowledge of God, this was mixed with many errors: some denied his
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1305 providence over all things; others said he was the soul of the world; still
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1306 others worshipped other gods along with him. For this reason they are said not
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1307 to know God. Composite things can be known in part, and unknown in part, while
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1308 simple things are unknown if they are not known in their entirety. Thus, even
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1309 though some erred only slightly in their knowledge of God, they are said to be
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1310 entirely ignorant of him. Consequently, since these people did not know the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1311 special excellence of God, they are said not to know him: "For although they
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1312 knew God they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1313 futile in their thinking and their senseless minds were darkened" (Rom 1:21);
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1314 "Nor did they recognize the craftsman while paying heed to his works" (Wis

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1317 <p>Furthermore, the world did not know
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1318 God by an affective knowledge, because it did not love him, "like heathen who

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1324 25b). First, their progress in knowledge; secondly, the fruit of this knowledge
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1325 (v 26). As regards the disciples' progress in knowledge he does three things:
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1326 first, he gives the root and fountain of this knowledge of God; secondly, the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1327 rivulets and streams that flow from it; thirdly, we see their origin in the

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1330 <p>2267 The root and fountain of our knowledge of God is the

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1332 1:5]. Human wisdom consists in knowing God. But this knowledge flows to us from
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1333 the Word, because to the extent that we share in the Word of God, to that
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1334 extent do we know God. Thus he says, <b>the world has not known you </b>in this

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1340 Accordingly he says, <b>and these know that </b>[<i>quia</i>, meaning "that,"

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1364 <p>The other knowledge is from within,
