[Grem] A mai szentmise igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

 *Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus escapes from a trap with one of his
most famous one-liners: “Render to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God
what belongs to God.” *We should not read this as though there is a clearly
demarcated political realm that belongs to the Caesars of the world and a
clearly demarcated spiritual realm that belongs to God. And



*we certainly shouldn’t read it in the modern mode—that the public arena
belongs to politics, while religion is relegated to the private dimension.
No, this won’t do, precisely because God is God. He’s not a being in or
above the world, nor one reality among many. God is the sheer act of being
itself, which necessarily pervades, influences, grounds, and has to do with
everything, even as he transcends everything in creation. God is the
deepest source for everything in life, from sports to law to the arts to
science to medicine. What has seized the lawyer (at his best) is a deep
passion for justice—and God is justice itself. What has seized the doctor
(at his best) is a deep passion for alleviating suffering—and God is love
itself. Everything comes from God and returns to God.*
