[Grem] A mai szentmise igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, after Jesus heals the blind man in today’s Gospel, he tells him,
“Do not even go into the village.”Now, blindness is a biblical image for
lack of spiritual sight, the inability to see things as they are. One of
the effects of the fall was a loss of holiness—seeing with the eyes of
Christ, appreciating the world as a participation in the creative energy of
God. All of us sinners, to varying degrees, are blind to this metaphysics
of creation and tend to see the world from the standpoint of the
self-elevating ego. One of the origins of this spiritual debility is too
much time in the village. Jesus the healer and judge has to lead us blind
people out of the city and give us sight—and then strictly enjoin us not to
return to the blinding ways of the village.*
We unfortunate village dwellers must, through the power of Christ, put on
the mind of Christ. And then *we must live in a new town, the community of
love and justice which is the Church. *It is this city of vision* that
effectively challenges (and judges) the enduring power of the blinding
society.*

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