[Grem] A mai szentmise igé

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, in today’s Gospel we read about crowds coming to Jesus for
healing and deliverance. We hear that people brought the sick from all over
the region, as well as those troubled by unclean spirits.Now, I realize
that we today might be a bit skeptical of such miraculous healings. But
it’s hard to deny that Jesus was known as a healer and a miracle worker.
And there is abundant evidence that the performance of miracles was a major
reason why the first preachers were taken seriously. Have there been
miracle workers and miraculous places up and down the centuries? Yes
indeed. But the Church has customarily done this work through its hospitals
and clinics, through figures such as John of God, Catherine of Siena, and
Teresa of Calcutta. But the Church also serves through its sacraments,
which heal sin-sick souls.This is the apostolic dimension of the Church’s
life, and without it, it would no longer be the Church. Parishes, parish
priests, missionaries, servants of the poor and sick—the whole apostolic
life of the Church is represented here.*
