[Grem] A mai szentmise igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, today’s Gospel presents the Transfiguration of Christ. What is
the Transfiguration itself? Mark speaks literally of a metamorphosis, a
going beyond the form that he had. If I could use Paul’s language, it is
“the knowledge of the glory of God on the face of Jesus Christ.” In and
through his humble humanity, his divinity shines forth. The proximity of
his divinity in no way compromises the integrity of his humanity, but
rather makes it shine in greater beauty. This is the New Testament version
of the burning bush.The Jesus who is both divine and human is the Jesus who
is evangelically compelling. If he is only divine, then he doesn’t touch
us; if he is only human, he can’t save us. His splendor consists in the
coming together of the two natures, without mixing, mingling, or
confusion.Note how this same Jesus then accompanies his disciples back down
the mountain and walks with them in the ordinary rhythms of their lives.
This is the Christ who wants to reign as Lord of our lives in every detail.
If we forget about this dimension, then Jesus becomes a distant memory,
nothing more than a figure from the past.*
