“When all things were wrapt in a profound silence, and night in her swift course was half spent, Thy almighty Word, O Lord, leapt down from your Throne in Heaven.” (Christmas liturgy)
Before time began there was an eternal voice of Father and Son. The Father speaking his Word and the Son returning His Fiat in filial love. This total self-giving is the essence of union of wills. “I will proclaim the decree of the Lord: He said to me You are my Son, today I have become your Father.” (Ps 2:7) The Son in turn speaks back:
Then I said, “Here I am, I have come. It is written about me in the scroll:
I desire to do your will, O my God; your law is within my heart.” (ps 40:7-9)
One of the definitions of consecration is: “to dedicate our life or time, etc. to a specific purpose.” This certainly is true and done divinely in what the Greek Fathers call “the round dance of the Trinity.” The total self-giving in mutual love and dedication. Jesus’ whole mission was to show us the Father and that we join and enter into His consecration before all ages. The Father’s promise of a Savior given in Eden will be totally complete, when the Holy Spirit forms Christ in us and we join Him in crying out “Abba Father” and join in the Dance!
