[Grem] A mai szentmise igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, our Gospel for today has to do with Jesus’ healing of a leper.
Leprosy frightened people in ancient times, just as contagious and
mysterious diseases frightened people up through modern times. But, more
than this, leprosy rendered someone unclean and therefore incapable of
engaging in the act of worship. It is not accidental that the person who
should do the examining of the patient in ancient Israel should be the
priest.The man who knelt before Jesus and begged for a cure was not simply
concerned about his medical condition; he was an Israelite in exile from
the Temple—and hence he was a very apt symbol of the general condition of
scattered, exiled, wandering Israel. In curing him, Jesus was, symbolically
speaking, gathering the tribes and bringing them back to the worship of the
true God. *
