*Friends, in today’s Gospel Jesus tells the crowd that the only sign he
will give is the sign of Jonah—the victory of his death and Resurrection.
If Jesus had died and simply remained in his grave, he would be remembered
(if he was remembered at all) as a noble idealist, tragically crushed by
the forces of history. There could have been, in the first century, no
surer sign that someone was not the Messiah than his death at the hands of
the enemies of Israel, for one of the central marks of Messiahship was
precisely victory over those enemies. That Peter, James, John, Paul,
Thomas, and the rest could announce throughout the Mediterranean world that
Jesus was in fact the long-awaited Israelite Messiah, and that they could
go to their deaths defending this claim, are the surest indications that
something monumentally significant happened to Jesus after his death. That
something was the Resurrection. Though too many modern theologians have
tried to explain the Resurrection away as a wish-fulfilling fantasy, a
vague symbol, or a literary invention, the New Testament writers could not
be clearer: the crucified Jesus, who had died and been buried, appeared
alive again to his disciples.*

*Reflect: Where would your faith be without belief in the Resurrection? *

*Vezess, drága fény, a sötétben, mely körülvesz,vezess hát engem!Sötét az
éj, hazám távol,vezess hát engem!Óvd léptemet: nem kívánom látni,mi messze
van, elég, ha egy lépést tudok tenni.*






*Nem mindig voltam ilyen; nem is kértem,hogy te vezess,utamat én szabtam
meg,de most te vezess!A harsány nap volt ínyemre, s bár féltem,gőg uralta
szívemet: bocsásd meg, mi volt.*






*Oly sokáig áldott erőd, hát biztosújra kész vezetni már,ingoványon s
sziklákon át, mígfel nem száll az éj,s a fénnyel angyalok mosolya nem
fogad,mit oly rég szerettem, de elhagytam utamon.*

(*Szt.John Henry Newman bíboros,* Görföl Tibor fordítása)
