[Grem] Gospel meditation + 'Dicsőség mennyben Istennek és békesség földön embernek'

[Emoke Greschik]

 Friends, in today’s Gospel, *Jesus predicts the coming persecution of his
disciples.* And we can see *his prophetic word realized through the ages*.

*Think of St. Peter himself*, *crucified upside down in the circus of Nero*;
*of Felicity and Perpetua,* *thrown to wild animals because they wouldn’t
deny their faith; of Thomas More*, *who resisted King Henry VIII and paid
for* *it* *with* *his head; of Paul Miki, the Japanese Jesuit, who* *was
crucified for announcing the Christian faith; of Padre Pro, who was shot to
death * *for defying a repressive Mexican government, shouting* *as he was
shot, “Viva, el Cristo Rey!”; of Franz Jägerstätter and Dietrich
Bonhoeffer, whom the Nazi regime put to death; of Maximilian Kolbe, who
died at Auschwitz,* *willingly taking the place of another man. And the
list goes on and on.*

*Indeed, the martyrs have come from all corners of the world, and they have
spoken Greek, Latin, French, German, English, Japanese, Polish, and many
other languages besides. Friends, this, strangely, is the army that*
*undermines
the foundations of the fallen world* *through the centuries. This is the
great fighting force that Jesus has unleashed and continues to unleash.*
*Dicsőség mennyben Istennek és békesség földön embernek.*
