[Grem] A mai nagyböjti szentmise igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, today’s Gospel presents the story of the woman caught in
adultery, which is one of the clearest demonstrations of what René Girard
called the scapegoat mechanism. The scribes and Pharisees bring to Jesus a
woman they had caught in adultery. Where must they have been standing and
how long must they have been waiting in order to catch her? Their eagerness
to find a victim is testimony to the insatiable human need for scapegoats.
The novelty of the Gospel is revealed in Jesus’ refusal to contribute to
the energy of the gathering storm: “Let the one among you who is without
sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” Jesus directs the energy of
scapegoating violence back toward the accusers. He unveils the dangerous
secret that the unstable order of the society has been predicated upon
scapegoating. The Church Fathers emphasized this point with a neat
interpretive move: they imagined that Jesus was writing in the sand none
other than the sins of those who were threatening the woman. Then we see,
at least in seminal form, the new order: “Go, and from now on do not sin
any more.” The connection between Jesus and the woman is not the
consequence of condemnation but rather the fruit of forgiveness offered and
accepted . *

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