[Grem] *****SPAM(5.2)***** Re: A mai vasárnapi szentmise igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, in today’s Gospel Jesus urges us to be ready for his second
coming. It reminds me of John the Baptist preparing us: "Make ready the way
of the Lord, clear him a straight path." He is saying that his job is to
prepare for the mighty coming of the Lord. A change is coming, a revolution
is on the way, a disaster (the destruction of the old) is about to happen.
Prepare the way of the Lord. And what is the manner of preparation? It is a
baptism of repentance. Baptism—an immersion in water—reminded first-century
Jews of the exodus, passing through the Red Sea, leaving the ways of
slavery behind. And repentance (metanoia)—going beyond the mind that you
have. How our minds are conditioned by the fallen world! How our
expectations are shaped, stunted by what has gone before. The world of
Tiberius and Pilate and Herod and Caiaphas has shaped our imagination. It’s
time*, John is saying,

*for a new mind, a new set of eyes, a new kind of expectation. God is about
to act! Be ready!*
