[Grem] Advent 2. szerdája szentmiséje igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, today we celebrate the great feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. What
followed the apparition of Mary at Tepeyac is one of the most astounding
chapters in the history of Christian evangelism. Though Franciscan
missionaries had been laboring in Mexico for twenty years, they had made
little progress. But within ten years of the appearance of Our Lady of
Guadalupe practically the entire Mexican people, nine million strong, had
converted to Christianity. La Morena had proved a more effective evangelist
than Peter, Paul, St. Patrick, and St. Francis Xavier combined! And with
that great national conversion, the Aztec practice of human sacrifice came
to an end. She had done battle with fallen spirits and had won a
culture-changing victory for the God of love. The challenge for us who
honor her today is to join the same fight. We must announce to our culture
today the truth of the God of Israel, the God of Jesus Christ, the God of
nonviolence and forgiving love. And we ought, like La Morena, to be bearers
of Jesus to a world that needs him more than ever. *
