[Grem] A mai szentmise igéi Bosco Szt. János ünnepén

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, today’s Gospel tells of the raising of the daughter of
Jairus.Jesus continues his assault on death, upbraiding the people for
their ostentatious moaning and mourning. He is impatient with the whole
culture of death, all that has grown up around the supposed finality of
death. And this is why he says, “The child is not dead but asleep.”
Relativizing death—that is the name of Jesus’ game.When news arrives that
the child has died, the suggestion comes that Jesus should not be troubled
any further. But Jesus says to the leader of the synagogue: “Do not be
afraid; just have faith.” There, in a nutshell, is the Gospel: a passion
for the impossible, a firm belief that the reign of death is ended. Faith
replaces fear.*
*The Talitha koum (“little girl, get up”) is a reminder of the absolute
centrality of resurrection in the Jesus event. God is the Lord and giver of
life, and he accordingly battles all those forces of death that bedevil us.*

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