“The Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath”
“Lord God, grant us peace, for you have given us all things” (Is 26:12). The peace of quietness, the peace of the Sabbath, a peace with no evening. For this entire most beautiful order of very good things will complete its course and then pass away since in them, by creation, there is both morning and evening. But the seventh day has no evening and no ending. You sanctified it to abide everlastingly. After your “very good” works, which you made while remaining yourself in repose, you “rested the seventh day” (Gn 2:2-3). This utterance in your book foretells for us that after our works which, because they are your gift to us are very good, we also may rest in you for the sabbath of eternal life. There also you will rest in us, just as now you work in us. Your rest will be through us, just as now your works are done through us.
But you, Lord are always working and always at rest... At one time we were moved to do what is good, after our heart conceived through your Spirit. But at an earlier time we were moved to do wrong and to forsake you. But you God, one and good, have never ceased to do good. Of your gift we have some good works, though not everlasting. After them we hope to rest in your great sanctification. But you, the Good, in need of no other good, are ever at rest since you yourself are your own rest.
Who can enable the human mind to understand this? What angel can interpret it to the angelic beings? What angel can help a human being to grasp it? Only you can be asked, only you can be begged, only on your door can we knock (Matt 7:7-8).
Jeremias 9:2
