[Grem] A mai vasárnapi szentmise igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus asks, "If salt loses its taste, with
what can it be seasoned?" That question ought to bother us as much today as
it did Jesus’ audience long ago. What he means is that a weak Christianity
is a disaster for the world, for the world depends upon the Christian
Church in order to become what it was meant to be.Consider the truly awful
gun violence in the streets of Chicago and other large American cities. A
vibrant Christianity would actively get in the way of this affront to human
dignity. Vibrant Christian churches would rub salt into the earth of this
violence; vibrant Christian witness would be a city set on a hill.*
*Consider the tens of millions of unborn eliminated over the past fifty
years. I would be willing to bet that the vast majority of the mothers and
fathers of these murdered children came from a Christian background. Why
wasn’t their Christianity strong enough to function as salt and light? Why
wasn’t their faith illuminating enough to shine a light into the darkness
of what they were doing?*


* The clear implication is that without vibrant Christians, the world is a
much worse place. *

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