[Grem] A mai szentmise igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus declares that he is the bread of life
and promises eternal life to all who believe in him. Many of the Church
Fathers characterized the Eucharist as food that immortalizes those who
consume it. They understood that if Christ is really present in the
Eucharistic elements, the one who eats and drinks the Lord’s Body and Blood
becomes configured to Christ in a far more than metaphorical way. The
Eucharist, they concluded, Christifies and hence eternalizes. If the
Eucharist were no more than a symbol, this kind of language would be so
much nonsense. But if the doctrine of the Real Presence is true, then this
literal eternalization of the recipient of Communion must be maintained.*


* But what does this transformation practically entail? It implies that the
whole of one’s life—body, psyche, emotions, spirit—becomes ordered to the
eternal dimension. The Christified person knows that his life is not
finally about him but about God; the Eucharistized person understands that
her treasure is to be found above and not below. Wealth, pleasure, power,
honor, success, titles, degrees, even friendships and family connections
are all relativized as the high adventure of life with God opens up.
Dicsőség az Atyának, a Fiúnak és a Szentléleknek most és mindörökké. Ámen.*
