[Grem] Advent 1. szerdája szentmiséje igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, our Gospel today tells about the feeding of the four thousand.
Jesus instructs the crowd to sit on the ground. Taking the seven loaves and
a few fish, Jesus makes a meal that satisfies the enormous crowd. They are
hungry, tired, and worn out from their exertions, and Jesus gives them
sustenance for the day. For Thomas Aquinas, the great metaphor for the
Eucharist is sustenance, food for the journey. The Eucharist is daily food,
sustenance for the journey, nourishment to get us through the day-to-day.
How effective would we be if we never ate, or ate only on special occasions
and in a festive environment? Not very. So, in the spiritual life, we must
eat and drink or we will not have strength. Is this just meant in some
vague symbolic way? No, rather in a vividly analogical way. For just as the
body needs physical nourishment, the spirit needs spiritual nourishment,
and there is no getting around this law. Sometimes we think it’s no big
deal if we stay away from Mass and refrain from receiving Communion. Think
again!*
