[Grem] Jézus Szentséges Szíve ünnepe igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, in today’s Gospel, John tells us that a Roman soldier, in order
to verify that Jesus was dead, thrust a lance into the side of the
crucified Christ, “and at once blood and water came out.” Physicians tell
us that this is a credible account, given that the lance would have pierced
the pericardium, the sac around the heart, which contains a watery
substance. What does this event mean? Theologians have speculated that the
blood and water have a symbolic valence, evoking the sacraments of
Eucharist and Baptism. But which first-century Jew would have missed the
most obvious interpretation*?* This was the fulfillment of Ezekiel’s
prophecy that when Yahweh cleansed his temple, water would flow forth for
the renewal of the world.*
