[Grem] A mai szentmiise igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus offers himself as food for the soul.
There is a great truth revealed in the bread of life discourse: it is the
law of the gift. This personal, incarnating God wants to be eaten and
drunk, to be radically and fully for the other. Why were the gods of the
ancient world so popular? Because they were projections of ourselves—vain,
arrogant, resentful, violent. This means that they put little moral
pressure on us. They were frightening but not morally demanding. But this
God who shows that he is totally love, and who wants us to eat and drink
him in, is the God who wants us to be like him. *As he is food and drink
for the world, so we must be food and drink for the world. *As he gave
himself away utterly, so *we must give ourselves away fully.


*We’re not to cling to the goods, honors, and values of the world—all those
things that aggrandize the ego—but rather give ourselves away. That’s what
we learn from the God of the gift.*
