114. Let us therefore be preachers of the
Lord, and praise Him in the sound of the trumpet, Ps. cl. 3. not thinking little or lightly of its
power, but such things as can fill the ear of the mind, and enter into
the depths of our inmost consciousness, so that we think not that what
suits to the body is to be applied to the Godhead, nor measure the
greatness of Divine Power by human might, so as to enquire how any one
can rise again, or with what kind of body he will come, or how that
which has been dissolved can again coalesce, and what is lost be
restored, for all these things are accomplished as soon as they are
determined by the Divine Will. And it is not a sound of a trumpet
distinguishable by the bodily senses which is expected, but the
invisible power of the Majesty of heaven operates; for with God to will
is to do; nor need we enquire into the force required for the
resurrection, but seek its fruit for ourselves. Which will be
accomplished all the more easily, if freed from faults we attain to the
fulness of the spiritual mystery, and the renewed flesh receives grace
from the Spirit, and the soul
obtains from Christ the brightness of eternal
light.
