[Grem] nagyböjt 1.vasárnapi szentmiséje igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, we have come to the great and holy season of Lent. Lent is, by
its nature, a desert time, a time of simplicity, purification, and
asceticism. We notice today in Mark’s account of the temptation that the
Spirit himself led Jesus into the desert. In so many of the great figures
of salvation history—Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Isaiah, Jeremiah,
David—a period of testing is required before they can commence their work.
We see the same thing in the initiation rituals of tribal peoples as
well—and you can see it in Luke Skywalker’s initiation in Star Wars. The
desert represents a stripping away so as to make the fundamental things
appear. In the desert, there are no distractions or diversions or secondary
matters. Everything is basic, necessary, simple. One survives or one
doesn’t. One discovers in the desert strengths and weaknesses he didn’t
know he had. It is like the purifying of a metal in fire. Now, Jesus didn’t
have sin to deal with, but in his humanity, he knew temptation. Before
we’re ready to resume our work, we have to go with him into the wilderness.
