[Grem] Húsvétpéntek szentmiséje igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, in today’s Gospel, the risen Jesus appears to seven disciples on
the shore of the Sea of Tiberias. Jesus rose bodily from the dead. This is
the fact—eminently surprising and unexpected—that gives birth to
Christianity. The excitement that you can sense on every page of the New
Testament comes from this novelty. Why did the risen Jesus appear only to a
few? Why didn’t he make himself readily apparent to anyone who wanted to
see? Cardinal Newman commented on this. If Jesus had appeared publicly and
indiscriminately to all, the power of the Resurrection would have been
lessened. Some would believe; others wouldn’t. Some would get it; others
wouldn’t. Some would be fascinated; others indifferent. Instead, ** he
deigned to appear t**o a small coterie of dedicated disciples who knew him,
loved him, understood him—confident that they would be the effective
bearers of his message. We are those now who eat and drink with him after
his Resurrection. And so we have a commission to announce this Good News.*
