[Grem] A mai szentmise igéi Avilai Szt. János pap, egyháztanító ünnepén

[Emoke Greschik]

* Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus declares that he is the vine and we are
the branches who must remain in him. If we ourselves do not participate in
who Jesus was, we miss the spiritual power that he meant to unleash. *




*If Johní's Gospel is any notification, Jesus does not want worshippers but
followers or better: participants: "I am the vine, you are the branches;
live on in me; my body is real food and my blood real drink; the one who
feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him."The
beautifully organic images that John presents are meant, it seems to me, to
communicate the life-changing power of the Incarnation: the Logos became
flesh, our flesh, so that we might allow the divine energy to come to birth
in us. Much of this is summed up in the oft-repeated patristic adage that
God became human that humans might become God. Many of our great
theologians and spiritual masters speak unselfconsciously of
"divinization"—that is to say, a sharing in the symbiosis that is the
Incarnation—as the proper goal of human life.*


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