[Grem] Virágvasárnap szentmiséje igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, how dark are the readings for Palm Sunday! We read through Luke’s
Passion narrative, leaving out the good news of the Resurrection. To get to
the bottom of this emphasis on suffering, to decipher its religious
meaning, is to uncover the theological significance of this day.Do you
remember the first time that life really knocked you around? It might have
been an extraordinary failure; it might have been the first time you
confronted real violence or real hatred; it might have been a massive
disappointment; it might have been the death of someone that you loved.
This mess, this problem, bedevils all of us.The biblical approach is clear:
God sets about a rescue operation—the formation of a holy people Israel who
would follow his commands, worship him aright, and thereby become a magnet
to the world. They would teach and show the way out of the dilemma.*
*He would form a people ready to receive him; he would gradually effect a
unity between divinity and humanity; and one day, a servant of Yahweh would
appear, someone despised and reviled by men. And this mysterious figure
would solve the problem by bearing away the sins of the world, by carrying
them off through his suffering.*

* "Életünk ebben a zarándoklásban nem lehet meg próbatétel nélkül; mert
előrehaladásunk csak próbatételen keresztül valósul meg, és senki sem
ismerheti meg önmagát sem, hacsak előbb nem volt próbára téve, és senki sem
koronázható meg, ha nem győzött, és senki sem győzhet, ha nem küzdött, és
senki sem küzdhet, ha nincs ellensége és próbatétele."  Szt. Ágoston *
