[Grem] A mai nagyböjti szentmise igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

 Friends, in today’s Gospel

*, Jesus tells a parable that illustrates God’s mercy. The Latin word for
mercy is misericordia, which designates the suffering of the heart, or
compassion—cum patior (I suffer with).Mercy is identical to what the Old
Testament authors refer to as God’s hesed, or tender mercy. It is the
characteristic of God, *for God is love




*. The love that obtains among the Trinitarian persons spills over into
God’s love for the world that he has made.Think of a mother’s love for her
children. Could you ever imagine a mother becoming indifferent to one of
her offspring? But even should she forget, we read in the prophet Isaiah,
God will never forget his own. Consider the fact that nothing would exist
were it not willed into being by God. But God has no need of anything;
hence, his sustaining of the universe is an act of disinterested love and
tender mercy. There is no greater manifestation of the divine mercy than
the forgiveness of sins. When G.K. Chesterton was asked why he became a
Catholic, he answered, “To have my sins forgiven.” This is the greatest
grace the Church can offer: reconciliation, the restoration of the divine
friendship, the forgiveness of our sins.  *

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