[Grem] A mai szentmise igéi Keresztelő Szt. János születése főünnepén

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, today we celebrate the Solemnity of the Nativity of Saint John
the Baptist. From time immemorial, God has sent messengers, prophets, and
spokespersons. Think of that whole line of prophets and the patriarchs of
Israel.John the Baptist sums up all of these figures. In the Gospel of
John, the Baptist identifies himself as “the voice of one crying out in the
desert, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord.’” The point John makes is that
Jesus is not just one more biblical figure. He’s *something altogether
different—



*not just a speaker of the Word but the Word himself.We are destined for
union with the Word of God, but we don’t get it. Why do we run after
everything but Christ? Because there’s something seriously off-kilter in
us. But here’s the good news from John’s Gospel: “To those who did accept
him he gave power to become children of God.”We can’t grasp this on our
own. God must lift us up. The Word of God, with God from the beginning, *does
not
*remain in splendid isolation. It comes down, joins us, and lifts us up.
That is the essence of the Christian message.   *

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