[Grem] Jézus Szent Neve ünnepe szentmiséje igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, today’s Gospel reports John the Baptist’s testimony about
Jesus.One of the earliest descriptions of Baptism is vitae spiritualis
ianua, which means “the door to the spiritual life.” To grasp the full
meaning of this is to understand something really decisive about
Christianity.For Christianity is not primarily about “becoming a good
person” or “doing the right thing” or, in Flannery O’Connor’s famous
phrase, “having a heart of gold.” Let’s face it: anyone—pagan, Muslim, Jew,
nonbeliever—can be any of those things.To be a Christian is to be grafted
on to Christ and hence drawn into the very dynamics of the inner life of
God. We become a member of his Mystical Body, sharing in his relationship
to the Father.*
*It is so important that we are baptized “in the name of the Father, and of
the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.” For Baptism draws us into the
relationship between the Father and the Son, which is to say in the Holy
Spirit. Baptism, therefore, is all about grace—our incorporation, through
the power of God’s love, into God’s own life.*

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