[Grem] *****SPAM(5.2)***** Re: A mai szentmise igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, Joseph Ratzinger said that the soul corresponds to our capacity
for relationship to God. We have a whole range of intellectual and
relational powers, but beyond them all, we have the capacity to know and
love God. And since God is eternal, this power links us to eternity,
proving that we are not simply limited to space and time. To say that we
are nothing but "bodies" which flourish briefly and then fade away is to
miss this dimension of our existence. Instead, we speak of souls and of the
enduring existence of those who have gone before us into death.  *
*This is why Jesus speaks so readily of eternal life in today’s Gospel:
"For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who sees the Son and
believes in him may have eternal life, and I shall raise him on the last
day."*

There was a great debate in Jesus’ time within Judaism in regard to this
question. Many, including the Sadducees, denied the idea of life after
death; but others, including the Pharisees, affirmed it.

*Jesus clearly sides with those who affirm it, and his own resurrection
from the dead demonstrated this belief as emphatically as possible.*
