In the same chapter from which we have drawn the text of our sermon we also read that our Lord said to his brethren: ‘Go you up to this festival day: but I go not up to this festival day’, a little before he had said these words: ‘My time is not yet come, but your time is always ready’. Today, therefore, we have to consider what is this solemnity or festival day to which our Lord orders his disciples to betake themselves and for which the time is always ready.
