[Grem] A mai vasárnapi szentmise igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, our Gospel today is taken from Jesus’ Sermon on the Plain in
Luke. It is one of more the puzzling texts in the New Testament. It speaks
of loving our enemies—not tolerating them, or vaguely accepting them, but
loving them. When you hate your enemy, you confirm him as your enemy. But
when you love him in response to his hatred, you confuse and confound him,
taking away the very energy that feeds his hatred. There is a form of
oriental martial arts called aikido. The idea of aikido is to absorb the
aggressive energy of your opponent, moving with it, continually frustrating
him until he comes to the point of realizing that fighting is useless. Some
have pointed out that there is a great deal of this in Jesus’ strategy of
nonviolence and love of the enemy. You creatively absorb the aggression of
your opponent, really using it against him, to show him the futility of
violence. So when someone insults you, send back a compliment instead of an
insult.*
