[Grem] Nagyböjt 3. vasárnapja szentmiséje igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus encounters the Samaritan woman.
Throughout the Old Testament, wells are trysting places. Abraham’s servant
found a wife for Isaac by a well; Jacob met his wife, Rachel, by a
well.Therefore, when St. John tells us that Jesus encountered a woman at
Jacob’s well, we should expect that something like marriage is in the
offing. The Samaritan woman stands, says St. Augustine, for the Church,
which is the bride of Jesus.The Samaritan woman tells Jesus that she is
unmarried. Jesus responds with devastating clarity: “You are right in
saying, ‘I do not have a husband.’ For you have had five husbands, and the
one you have now is not your husband.’” Think of the five husbands as five
errant paths that the woman has taken. She has “married” herself to wealth,
pleasure, honor, power, material things, etc. Or think of them as five
ideologies or gurus that she has followed, hoping to find joy. *The point
of the story is that *Jesus is proposing marriage to the woman, to his
bride the Church. Only in him will the human race find happiness, peace,
and the “spring of water welling up to eternal life. *


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