[Grem] Péntek húsvét nyolcadában szentmiséje igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, today’s Gospel tells of the appearance of the risen Jesus to
seven disciples by the shore of the Sea of Galilee.Peter and six other
Apostles were in a boat on the sea. Seeing Peter and the disciples in a
boat, we are meant to think of the Church, and the peculiar number of
seven—evocative of completion or fulfillment—is meant to make us consider
the eschatological Church, the community of Jesus approaching the end of
its journey.On the shore (though they don’t recognize him at first) is the
Lord Jesus. At his command, they lower their nets and bring in an
extraordinary catch. Well, this is the work of the Church until the end of
the age: to gather in souls and to bring them to Christ.When they empty
their nets, they discover 153 large fish. Many theories as to the meaning
of this figure have been proposed. My favorite is the one put forward by
St. Augustine. According to the science of that time, Augustine argued,
there were 153 species of fish in the sea, and therefore, this
extraordinary number is meant to signal the universality of the Church’s
salvific mission.*

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