[Grem] A mai szentmise igéi Néri Szt. Fülöp ünnepén

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, today’s Gospel tells of the great engagement between the risen
Jesus and Peter. Peter knows his sin—he betrayed Jesus three times. But
Jesus brings him through the process of repentance and gives him the key to
transformation. Three times Peter denied the Lord, and so three times Jesus
asks him to reaffirm his faith: “Simon, son of John, do you love me?”
Notice that Christianity is not a set of ideas or convictions or
principles. It is a relationship with a person. Do you love Jesus? Has he
become your friend? When Simon says yes, Jesus tests him: “Feed my lambs;
tend my sheep; feed my sheep.” The test of love is action. Are we willing
to do what Jesus did? Are we willing to go on mission on his behalf? Then
we hear that wonderful closing section: “When you were younger, you used to
dress yourself and go where you wanted; but when you grow old, you will
stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where
you do not want to go.” The ultimate test of discipleship is our
willingness to abandon our egos and be carried by a power greater than
ourselves.*

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