[Grem] A mai vasárnapi szentmise igéi / "A nyolc boldogság"

[Emoke Greschik]

 Friends, our Gospel for today is one of the most beautiful and important
in the New Testament: *the beginning of the Sermon on the Mount, the eight
Beatitudes.* Why is it so important? Because it is *the Son of God telling
us how to be happy*. It is the one who can’t be wrong telling us how to
achieve that which each of us most basically wants. What could be more
compelling?

*At the heart of Jesus’ program are these Beatitudes**: "Blessed are the
merciful" and "Blessed are the peacemakers."** These name the very heart of
the spiritual program,* for they name t*he ways that we participate most
directly in the divine life.*

*One of the most important words to describe God in the Old Testament is
chesed (tender mercy). The New Testament version of this is found in the
First Letter of John: God is agape** (love). *Everything else we say about
God should be seen as an aspect of this chesed and this agape. *Chesed is
compassion; agape** is willing the good of the other. Therefore, if you
want to be happy, desire to be like God.* Do it and you’ll be happy.
*Dicsőség az Atyának, a Fiúnak és a Szentléleknek most és mindörökké. Ámen.*
