[Grem] A mai szentmise igéi Szt. Márk evangélista ünnepén

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, today’s Gospel gives us Mark’s very laconic account of the
Ascension: "Then the Lord Jesus, after he spoke to them, was taken up into
heaven and took his seat at the right hand of God." Now, don’t literalize
this language—there aren’t chairs in heaven—but take it very seriously
indeed. What Mark is suggesting is that Jesus is now reigning; he’s in the
attitude of a king on his throne. This means that he is directing the
things of earth from his place in heaven. Again, don’t think of this
spatially, as though heaven were a long way away. Think of heaven as a
dimension that overlaps with earth, that impinges on earth.And this is why
the Ascension forces us to come to grips with a key question: Whom do we
finally obey? Whom do we finally serve? Who, finally, is the king of our
life? We legitimately obey all sorts of figures—political, cultural,
artistic, etc.—but there is always an ultimate king, someone (or something)
from which we take our definitive marching orders.  *

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