[Grem] A mai szentmise igéi Szt. Patrik ünnepén

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus sums up the laws of love.It was a common
practice in Jesus’ time to ask a rabbi to identify the central precept of
the Law. Thus Jesus is asked, “Which is the first of all the commandments?”
He gave his famous answer: “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your
heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’
The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’”All of
religion is finally about awakening the deepest desire of the heart and
directing it toward God; it is about the ordering of love toward that which
is most worthy of love. But this love of God carries, Jesus says, as a
necessary implication, compassion for one’s fellow human beings. Why are
the two commandments so tightly linked? Because of who Jesus is. Christ is
not simply a human being, and he is not simply God; rather, he is the
God-man, the one in whose person divinity and humanity meet. Therefore, it
is impossible to love him as God without loving the humanity that he has
embraced. The greatest commandment is, therefore, an indirect Christology.*

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