[Grem] A mai szentmise igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, in today’s Gospel Jesus is accused of being in league with Satan.
Some of the witnesses said, "By the power of Beelzebul, the prince of
demons, he drives out demons." Jesus’ response is wonderful in its logic
and laconicism: "If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom
cannot stand. And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not
be able to stand. And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided,
he cannot stand." The demonic power is always one of scattering. It breaks
up communion. But Jesus, as always, is the voice of communio, of one
bringing things back together. Think back to Jesus’ feeding of the five
thousand. Facing a large, hungry crowd, his disciples beg him to "dismiss
the crowds so that they can go to the villages and buy food for
themselves." But Jesus answers, "There is no need for them to go away; give
them some food yourselves." *
*Whatever drives the Church apart is an echo of this "dismiss the crowds"
impulse, and a reminder of the demonic tendency to divide. In times of
trial and threat, this is a very common instinct. We blame, attack, break
up, and disperse. But Jesus is right: "There is no need for them to go
away."*
