[Grem] a mai nagyböjti szentmise igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, in today’s Gospel we find the beautiful healing of a paralyzed
man who had been ill for thirty-eight years. Jesus sees the man lying on
his mat, next to a pool, and asks, "Do you want to be well?" The man says
yes, and Jesus replies, "Rise, take up your mat, and walk." Immediately,
the man is healed.Now at this point, the story really heats up. We notice
something that is frequently on display in the Gospels: the resistance to
the creative work of God, the attempt to find any excuse, however lame, to
deny it, to pretend it’s not there, to condemn it.One would expect that
everyone around the cured man would rejoice, but just the contrary: the
Jewish leaders are infuriated and confounded. They see the healed man and
their first response is, "It is the Sabbath, and it is not lawful for you
to carry your mat."Why are they so reactive? Why don’t they want this to
be? We sinners don’t like the ways of God. We find them troubling and
threatening. Why? Because they undermine the games of oppression and
exclusion that we rely upon in order to boost our own egos.Let this
encounter remind us that God’s ways are not our ways, and that there is one
even greater than the Sabbath. *
