[Grem] A mai szentmise igéi, Szt Romuald apát, a kamalduli rend alapítója ünnepén

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, today, in the Sermon on the Mount, the Lord exhorts us to
nonresistance to evil. Martin Luther King Jr. was deeply influenced by
Mahatma Gandhi’s techniques, and Gandhi learned them, largely, from the
Sermon on the Mount.Both Gandhi and King appreciated that the text dealing
with the nonresistance to evil has nothing to do with passivity in the face
of injustice, but rather with a new and distinctive type of
resistance.Consider the Lord’s injunction, "When someone strikes you on
your right cheek, turn the other one to him as well." I realize that this
sounds like mere passivity, fleeing before evil, but the truth is anything
but. In Jesus’ time, you would not have used your left hand for any type of
social interaction, since it was considered unclean. Therefore, to strike
someone on the right cheek is to strike him with the back of your hand, the
way a master might treat a slave.By turning the other cheek, one neither
fights back directly nor flees, but rather stands his ground and declares,
"You will not treat me that way again." It thereby effectively mirrors back
to the aggressor his aggression. It is the declaration that the aggressed
person refuses to cooperate with the world of the aggressor.*

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