[Grem] Advent 4. vasárnapja szentmiséje igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, in the eleventh chapter of the book of Revelation, the visionary
sees in the heavenly place the Ark of the Covenant—that box in which the
remnants of the Ten Commandments were kept, that sign of Yahweh’s presence
among his people. Immediately after, we hear of a queen who is about to
give birth to a son. As a dragon waits to devour the child, the mother and
child are swept away, and a great war breaks out between Michael and his
angels and the enemy.This sequence is not accidental. In today’s Gospel, we
see Mary as the true Ark of the Covenant. She bore in her own womb the Word
made flesh and the very presence of God. When she visits her cousin
Elizabeth, the infant John the Baptist leapt in his mother’s womb, doing
his own version of David’s dance before the Ark.But Mary, as both the true
Ark and the Queen Mother of Israel, is also a fighter. Israel frequently
brought the Ark into battle with them, and the king of Israel and his queen
mother were warrior figures. Mary is all about spiritual warfare against
powers and principalities.This terrible crisis we’re passing through in the
Catholic Church has been a diabolical masterpiece. it undermines the work
of the Church in practically every way. So what do we do? Get in the army
of Christ the Warrior-King and Mary the Warrior-Queen. Enter into the great
spiritual struggle. And fight to set things right—not with the puny weapons
of the world but with the weapons of the Spirit.*
