[Grem] A mai nagyböjti szentmise igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, in today’s Gospel, the Lord tells some Jewish listeners that they
are enslaved to sin and that the truth will set them free. Jesus was
distinguishing between sins and sin, between the underlying disease and its
many symptoms. When the Curé d’Ars was asked what wisdom he had gained
about human nature from his many years of hearing confessions, he
responded, “People are much sadder than they seem.” Blaise Pascal rests his
apologetic for Christianity on the simple fact that all people are unhappy.
This universal, enduring, and stubborn sadness is sin. Now, this does not
mean that sin is identical to psychological depression. The worst sinners
can be the most psychologically well-adjusted people, and the greatest
saints can be, by any ordinary measure, quite unhappy. When I speak of
sadness in this context, I mean the deep sense of unfulfillment. We want
the truth and we get it, if at all, in dribs and drabs; we want the good,
and we achieve it only rarely; we seem to know what we ought to be, but we
are in fact something else. This spiritual frustration, this inner warfare,
this debility of soul, is sin.Dicsőség az Atyának, a Fiúnakk és a
Szentléleknek most és mindörökké. Ámen.*
