[Grem] A mai vasárnapi szentmise igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, in our Gospel Jesus defines the fundamental sacredness of
marriage. I’m convinced that the deep sacramental and religious meaning of
marriage—even within the Church—has been, in recent years, dramatically
compromised. We say that marriage is a vocation, but do we mean it? We can
look at human sexual relationships at a number of different levels. Two
people can come together purely for physical pleasure, for economic
reasons, or for psychological companionship. And we might witness two
people coming together out of authentic love. *
*But none of these levels is what the Bible means by marriage. When I was
doing parish work, I would invariably ask young couples, “Why do you want
to get married in church?”* *Most would say something like, “We love each
other.” But I said, “Well, that’s no reason **to get married in church.*”
Usually, they looked stunned. But *I meant it.*
*You come to church to be married before God and his people when you are
convinced that your marriage is not, finally, about you; that it is about
God and about serving God’s purposes; that it is, as much as the priesthood
of a priest, a vocation, a sacred calling.*
