[Grem] A mai szentmise igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Nem ugyanarról az evangéliumi részről szól, mint a ma reggel általam
kiküldött: *





*Friends, our Gospel for today, the story of Jesus’ conversation with the
Syro-Phoenician woman, is one of those famously problematic passages in the
New Testament. This poor woman, a Canaanite, a foreigner, comes forward and
tells Jesus of her daughter who is troubled by a demon. She prostrates
herself at his feet, but Jesus says, "It is not right to take the food of
the children and throw it to the dogs." Of course, the woman responds with
one of the best one-liners in the Scriptures, almost all of which otherwise
belong to Jesus himself: "Lord, even the dogs under the table eat the
children’s scraps." At this point, Jesus praises her for her faith and
cures her daughter. *
*What’s going on here is really interesting and provocative. The
Syro-Phoenician woman is being invited into a life of discipleship, into
the following of Jesus. She is resisted, not because Jesus is having a bad
day, but because he wants the strength of her faith to show itself.*
