[Grem] A mai adventi szentmise igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

* Friends, in today’s Gospel, the angel Gabriel announces to Mary that she
has been chosen to be the mother of God.In the face of this overwhelming
word, Mary is confused: "How can this be, since I have no relations with a
man?" And she cannot begin to imagine the full consequences of accepting
this invitation: shame, exile, violent pursuit, the final agony on Calvary.
*

*And yet, despite her fear and despite the darkness, she says, "I am the
handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word." At the
crucial moment, Mary of Nazareth allows herself to fall in love with God,
and in that moment of ecstasy, the Son of God enters the world for its
salvation. *

*The human tragedy began with Adam and Eve's grasp, the divine comedy
commences with Mary's letting go. This is why the medieval commentators, *with
their delicious sense of the co-penetration of all parts of the Bible,
*observed
that the 'Ave' of the angel of the Annunciation reverses 'Eva', the mother
of all the  living.*

*Dicsőség az Atyának, a Fiűnak és a Szentléleknek most és mindörökké. Amen.*
