[Grem] A mai szentmise igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus goes up a mountain and sits down to
teach. In the Old Testament, we find Moses, the great teacher, also going
up a mountain to receive the Law and then sitting down to teach it.
However, Jesus is not receiving a law; he is giving one.Theologian N.T.
Wright has pointed out that the Old Testament is essentially an unfinished
symphony. It is the articulation of a hope but without a realization of
that hope. Thus, as the fulfillment of Israel’s entire story, Jesus begins
his primary teaching with the Beatitudes, a title that stems from the Latin
noun beātitūdō, meaning “happy” or “blessed.” Through this series of
paradoxes, surprises, and reversals, Jesus begins setting a topsy-turvy
universe aright. How should we understand them? A key is the Greek word
makarios, rendered “blessed” or “happy” or perhaps even “lucky,” which is
used to start each of the Beatitudes.And so, “Blessed are the poor in
spirit.” We might say, “How lucky you are if you are not addicted to
material things.” Here Jesus is telling us how to realize our deepest
desire, which is the desire for God and not for passing things that only
bring temporary comfort. *


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