[Grem] A mai szentmise igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, in today’s Gospel Jesus tells us how to deal with persecution.
When does the Church stop being persecuted? When the Lord returns, and not
before. From the earliest days until the present, the community of Jesus
Christ has been the focus of the world’s violence. The Church will
announce, until the end of time, that the old world is passing away, that a
new world of love, nonviolence, and life is emerging. This announcement
always infuriates the world of sin. Always. The twentieth century was the
bloodiest on record—and the one with the most martyrs. Here’s Jesus’
encouragement: "When they take you before synagogues and before rulers and
authorities, do not worry about how or what your defense will be or about
what you are to say. For the Holy Spirit will teach you at that moment what
you should say." What do we do in the meantime? We maintain a detachment
from the world that is passing away, our eyes fixed on the world that will
never end. And we speak. Confidently, boldly, provocatively. The message of
the Gospel, the dying and rising of the Lord.*
