[Grem] A mai szentmise igéi Szt. Marcellinusz és Szt. Péter vértanúk ünnepén

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, at the heart of today’s Gospel is the cleansing of the temple.
Jesus entered the great temple in Jerusalem—which for a Jew of that time
was everything—and began to “drive out those selling and buying there.”
Precisely because the temple was supposed to be so holy, Jesus was
flabbergasted at what had happened to it and how the trading of merchants
had come to dominate. From the earliest days, Christian writers and
spiritual teachers saw the temple as symbolic of the human person. In fact,
didn’t St. Paul himself refer to the body as a temple of the Holy Spirit?
Your very self is meant to be a temple where God’s Spirit dwells and where
prayer, communion with God, is central. But what happens to us sinners? The
money changers and the merchants enter in. What is supposed to be a place
of prayer becomes a den of thieves. And so the Lord must do in us now what
he did in the temple then: a little housecleaning. What shape is the temple
of your soul in? Suppose that Jesus has made a whip of cords, knotted with
the Ten Commandments. What would he clear out of you? *

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