[Grem] Isten igéjének vasárnapja szentmiséje igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

* Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus begins his public ministry and calls
his first disciples.When Jesus emerged publicly and began preaching the
kingdom of God, he was taken to mean something very specific—namely, that
the tribes of Israel, scattered by sin, were being gathered. The Israelite
hope was that, in the Messianic era, Israel would become a godly nation
gathered around the common worship of the true God at the temple on Mount
Zion, and that this united Israel would become, in turn, a beacon to the
other nations of the world. Jesus’ entire preaching and ministry should be
read under this rubric of the great gathering.Jesus gathered around himself
a band of Apostles whom he shaped according to his own mind and heart and
whom he subsequently sent on mission. Priests down through the
centuries—from Augustine and Aquinas, to Francis Xavier and John Henry
Newman, to John Paul II—are the descendants of those first friends and
apprentices of the Lord.*

*They have been needed in every age, and they are needed today, for the
kingdom of heaven must be proclaimed, the poor must be served, God must be
worshiped, and the sacraments must be administered. *

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