[Grem] A mai szentmise igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, our Gospel today tells the story of a woman who—in the house of
Simon the Pharisee—approaches Jesus, weeping onto his feet and anointing
them with oil. One of the principal marks of Jesus’ teaching is the
overturning of social conventions. In service of what he calls the kingdom
of God, God’s way of ordering the world, he says and does all sorts of
outrageous things. And one of the most striking and surprising of Jesus’
moves was a radical inclusion of women. He allowed women into his inner
circle (practically unheard of for a rabbi); he spoke publicly to the woman
at the well; he engaged with the Syro-Phoenician woman; he forgave the
woman caught in adultery. And the first witnesses of the Resurrection were
women. Luke, who told this story, was a companion of Paul, and his Gospel
reflects many of Paul’s themes. Paul famously said, “In Christ, there is no
slave or free, no Jew or Greek, no male or female.” This was very radical
stuff, for these were some of the most basic social divisions of the time.
Free men were a lot better off than slaves; Jews had huge advantages over
Greeks; and males were seen as superior to females. But not anymore—in
light of the kingdom of God that Jesus announced. *
