[Grem] A mai szentmise igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, our Gospel today gives us one of the great scenes of Jesus
healing a leper. And as is usually the case, it becomes an icon of the
spiritual life in general.Once in the Lord’s presence, the leper kneels
down and begs him. The suffering man realizes who Jesus is: not one prophet
among many but the incarnation of the God of Israel, the only one before
whom worship is the appropriate attitude.In our sickness, our weakness, our
shame, our sin, our oddness—lots of us feel like this leper. We feel as
though we’re just not worthy. Whatever trouble we are in, we have to come
to Jesus in the attitude of worship. He is the Lord and we’re not. This is
the key step in getting our lives in order: right praise.*

*Consider the leper’s beautiful plea, essential in any act of petitionary
prayer: "If you wish, you can make me clean." He is not demanding; he is
acknowledging the lordship of Jesus, his sovereignty. "Thy will be done" is
always the right attitude in any prayer. *

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