[Grem] A mai szentmise igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus explains why his sheep listen to him and
follow him. They do so because he is leading them to eternal life.He says,
“I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish.” The life of
heaven, where we “shall never perish,” is that place where death and
sickness have no power over us, where we see God face to face.Heaven and
earth are always connected in the biblical imagination; that’s true. But
heaven should never be reduced to earth, as though religion is just about
this-worldly ethics, social justice, or psychological well-being. No; the
Christian faith is about a journey beyond this world to the heavenly
Jerusalem. Everything in the Christian life—from our ethical behavior, to
prayer, to the liturgy, to works of justice—all of it is meant to conduce
to that end. So listen to the voice of the shepherd and follow him wherever
he goes.*
