[Grem] A mai nagyböjti szentmise igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

* Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus declares that he has come to fulfill
the Law.*The same Jesus who railed against the hypocritical legalism of the
Pharisees *also said, “Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or
the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill.” *And the same
Jesus who threatened to tear down the temple in Jerusalem

*also promised to “raise it up” in three days.*The point is this:




* Jesus certainly criticized the corruption in the institutional religion
of his time, but he by no means called for its wholesale dismantling. He
was a loyal, observant, law-abiding Jew.What he effected was a
transfiguration of the best of that classical Israelite religion—temple,
law, priesthood, sacrifice, covenant—into the institutions, sacraments,
practices, and structures of his Mystical Body, the Church.Lots of New Age
devotees today want spirituality without religion, and lots of evangelicals
want Jesus without religion. Both end up with abstractions. But the one
thing Jesus is not is an abstraction. Rather, he is a spiritual power who
makes himself available precisely in the dense institutional particularity
of his Mystical Body across space and time. Jesus didn’t come to abolish
religion; he came to fulfil it.Dicsőség az Atyának, a Fiúnak és a
Szentléleknek most és mindörökké. Ámen.*
