[Grem] *****SPAM(6.3)***** Re: Urunk születése, Karácsony ünnepe szentmiséje igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, our Gospel for Christmas day is the Prologue to the Gospel of
John. In many ways, it is the entire Gospel, indeed the entire Bible, in
miniature.Let’s turn to the central passage: "And the Word became flesh and
dwelt among us." The word used in Greek here for "dwelt" is Eskenosen,
which means literally, "pitched his tent among us." Don’t read that in a
folksy way. It is meant to call to mind the tabernacle of the temple.The
Word becoming flesh is God coming to dwell definitively in his world,
undoing the effects of sin, and turning it into what it was always meant to
be. Notice, too, what we see in the wake of this tabernacling: "And we saw
his glory, the glory as of the Father’s only Son, full of grace and
truth."So John is telling us that Jesus is the new Eden, the new temple,
the restored creation, the realization of God’s intention for the world.
And our purpose is not simply to gaze on this fact with wonder, but rather
to enter into its power: "From his fullness we have all received, grace
upon grace."Reflect: Spend some time in quiet praise and thanksgiving today
for the greatest gift of all times: the incarnate Son of God! Krisztus
lelke, szentelj meg engem! Krisztus teste, üdvözíts engem! Krisztus vére,
ihless meg engem! Krisztus oldalából kifolyó víz, moss tisztára engem!
Krisztus kínszenvedése, erősíts meg engem! Ó, jóságos Jézus, hallgass meg
engem! Szent sebeidbe rejts el engem! Ne engedd, hogy elszakadjak tőled! A
gonosz ellenségtől oltalmazz engem! Halálom óráján hívj magadhoz engem!
Add, hogy eljussak hozzád, és szentjeiddel dicsérjelek téged,
mindörökkön-örökké. Ámen.  (Loyolai Szt. Ignác) *
