Angels and demons before the tree of life
An invitation to look at the cross to contemplate, learn and experience the transforming love of God
We are approaching the celebration of the most sacred and important time, at least for the Catholic world, and it is Holy Week or Semana Mayor, as it is also known.
Throughout Lent we have been preparing ourselves with fasting, prayer and almsgiving, to prepare our hearts and receive the graces that the passion, death and resurrection of Our Lord wants to give us.
In these days leading up to this great mystery of God’s love for man, I invite you to look at the tree of the cross , where the salvation of the world was nailed.
The cross is still a scandal to which we hide our eyes or turn our backs. We simply do not want to see it, we do not understand it.
And yet, we will go to proclaim “ Fulget crucis mysterium ” (The mystery of the cross shines).
This mystery of love must shine in each of our lives and must shine in our hearts.
Angels and Demons: A Cosmic Mystery
The cross is a mystery that, as Pope Benedict XVI has said, encompasses heaven and earth.
It is a cosmic mystery , and in this sense it encompasses all creation: visible and invisible, angels and men .
The cross has been called since ancient times the true tree of life. It seems a contradiction that the wood where there is pain, suffering, death, is at the same time the tree of life.
And it is precisely the tree of the cross that refers to that tree mentioned in the book of Genesis, the tree of life and the tree of good and evil.
What the devil tells you about the cross
From the tree of good and evil, at the suggestion of the fallen angel, the devil and Satan, Adam and Eve are seduced. And they commit the first sin, the original sin.
Today that seductive voice continues to present the cross as something it is not. The devil continues to encourage us to eat and enjoy all the pleasures and excesses without limits, measures or commandments.
In this way, the cross is presented as an impediment to this desire to live fully that exists in man.
The cross speaks of sacrifice when what man wants is to enjoy and live; the cross speaks of poverty and dispossession when what man wants is wealth and power. He wants to enjoy life, without restrictions and without renunciations.
In the face of emptiness and death, the help of the angels of life
We know the consequences of listening to this seductive voice: death . This life without restrictions or limits, without sacrifices, leads only to the abyss of emptiness , whose reward is none other than death.
It is these fallen angels who bring death . Jesus himself speaks of them when he says that they are murderers from the beginning.
It is a dramatic moment for humanity, in which Adam and Eve are expelled from paradise, friendship with God is lost and death sets in, just to name some of the consequences left by original sin.
But at that moment the angels of life come to man’s aid . They bring comfort and hope to man.
The great consolation
According to the legend of “The Life of Adam and Eve,” an apocryphal book, when Adam falls ill and is close to death, Eve sends her son Seth to find the tree of life.
But he cannot find his way back, and at that moment the archangel Saint Michael comes to meet him. And, although it is true that he announces to him that Adam would die, he also announces to him a great consolation.
The archangel is said to have told him that after 5,500 years, the good King, Christ, the Son of God, would come. And he would anoint with the oil of his mercy all who believed in him:
“The oil of mercy will be given from eternity to eternity to all those who are reborn by water and the Holy Spirit. Then the Son of God, rich in love, Christ, will descend into the depths of the earth and will take your father to Paradise , near the tree of mercy.”
The holy angels of life bring us this good news, there is comfort for humanity that seeks life .
