[Grem] A mai adventi szentmise igéi Szent Juan Diego Cuauhtlatoatzin ünnepén

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus says, “The Son of Man came eating and
drinking and they said, ‘Look, he is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of
tax collectors and sinners.’” The Passover meal was decisively important in
salvation history. God commanded that his people share a meal to remember
their liberation from slavery. This supper provides the context for the
deepest theologizing of the Israelite community. Both the bitterness of
their slavery and the sweetness of their liberation are acted out in this
sacred meal.Jesus’ life and ministry can be interpreted in light of this
symbol. From the very beginning, Jesus was laid in a manger, for he would
be food for a hungry world. Much of Jesus’ public outreach centered on
sacred meals, where everyone was invited: rich and poor, saints and
sinners, the sick and the outcast. They thought John the Baptist was a
weird ascetic, but they called Jesus a glutton and a wine-bibber. He
embodies Yahweh’s desire to eat a convivial meal with his people.*
*And of course, the life and teaching of Jesus comes to a sort of climax at
the meal that we call the Last Supper. The Eucharist is what we do in the
in-between times, between the death of the Lord and his coming in glory. It
is the meal that even now anticipates the perfect meal of fellowship with
God.*


*Dicsőség az Atyának, a Fiúnak és a Szentléleknek most és mindörökké. Ámen.*
