[Grem] A mai szentmise igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, today’s Gospel is the parable of the lamp which, placed on a
lampstand, gives light to all. Light obviously isn’t for itself; rather, we
see things by it. It illuminates things upon which it shines. We are light
by which people around us come to see what is worth seeing. By the very
quality and integrity of our lives, we shed light, illumining what is
beautiful and revealing what is ugly. The clear implication is that without
vibrant Christians the world is a much worse place. Let me illustrate this
principle with an example. One of the most painful truths of the last
century is that the weakness of Christian witness allows some of the worst
elements in society to flourish.*
*Think of the rise of the evil powers that created World War II.
Christianity had become so weak, so uncompelling, so attenuated that great
evil was allowed to flourish. Yes, indeed there were a handful of powerful
Christian resisters, but let’s face it: the overwhelmingly vast majority of
Christians either supported Hitler or remained in silence, out of either
fear or indifference.*














* Krisztus lelke, szentelj meg engem! Krisztus teste, üdvözíts engem!
Krisztus vére, ihless meg engem! Krisztus oldalából kifolyó víz, moss
tisztára engem! Krisztus kínszenvedése, erősíts meg engem! Ó, jóságos
Jézus, hallgass meg engem! Szent sebeidbe rejts el engem! Ne engedd, hogy
elszakadjak tőled! A gonosz ellenségtől oltalmazz engem! Halálom óráján
hívj magadhoz engem! Add, hogy eljussak hozzád, és szentjeiddel dicsérjelek
téged, mindörökkön-örökké. Ámen. *
