[Grem] A mai szentmise igéi a Lourdes-i Bold. Szűz Mária ünnepén

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus feeds the crowd of four thousand, which
is a wonderful biblical illustration of what I have often called the loop
of grace.The constant command of the Bible is this: what you have received
as a gift, give as a gift—and you will find the original gift multiplied
and enhanced. God’s grace, precisely because it is grace, cannot be held on
to; rather, it is had only in the measure that it remains grace—that is to
say, a gift given away. God’s life, in a word, is had only on the fly. One
realizes this truth when one enters willingly into the loop of grace,
giving away that which one is receiving.*
*At the outset of the story, the disciples refuse to serve the crowd,
preferring to send them away to the neighboring towns to fend for
themselves. At the climax of the narrative, the disciples become themselves
the instruments of nourishment, setting the loaves and fishes before the
people. Within the loop of grace, they discover their mission and are
themselves enhanced, transfigured.*

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