[Grem] A mai szentmise igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

 *Friends, today’s Gospel recounts the Lord’s healing of ten lepers, only
one of whom comes back to give thanks. Leprosy frightened people in ancient
times, just as contagious and mysterious diseases frighten people today.
But, more than this, leprosy rendered someone unclean and therefore
incapable of engaging in the act of worship. It is not accidental that* the
person responsible for examining the patient in ancient Israel was the
priest. The priest’s job was to monitor the whole process of Israelite
worship, very much including who could and couldn’t participate in the
Temple.

* What is so important about worship? To worship is to order the whole of
one’s life toward the living God, and, in doing so, to become interiorly
and exteriorly rightly ordered. To worship is to signal to oneself what
one’s life is finally about. Worship is not something that God needs, but
it is very much something that we need.*
