[Grem] A mai nagyböjti szentmise igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, today’s Gospel is Matthew’s version of the Lord’s Prayer. I want
to reflect on the first verses. How wonderful that it comes directly from
the prayer of Jesus himself. It is as though the prayer that he teaches
them sums up the content of his own prayer. We call God “Father” when we
pray. We call him Abba, Daddy. The same intimacy that Jesus has with his
Abba he invites us to share. We don’t just imitate his prayer, the way we
would imitate the prayer of any spiritual teacher; rather, we enter into
the dynamics of his own being when we pray.“Hallowed be thy name.” May your
name be held holy. The first thing we ask is that we might honor him, that
we might make him first in our lives, that he might be set apart from
everything else. Job, family, money, success, the esteem of others, our
friends—all of it is good, but none of it is to be held holy in this sense.
If we get this wrong, we get everything else wrong. If we don’t hold his
name holy above all, everything becomes profane. *

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