[Grem] Gospel meditation

[Emoke Greschik]

Friends, in today’s Gospel, *Mary Magdalene and the other Mary encounter
the risen Jesus. *I know that I have harped often on this theme, but I do
so only because the Bible harps on it—and also because the culture tends so
thoroughly to miss the point. I’m talking about
* the meaning of Easter. Many people agree with David Cameron, the former
Prime Minister of Great Britain, who once said that the message of Easter
is “kindness, compassion, hard work, and responsibility.”*

Now don’t get me wrong:
*I’m for all of those things. But so is, I would guess, any decent person
from any religious or non-religious background. Buddhists, Muslims, Hindus,
Jews, fair-minded atheists and agnostics would all sign on for those
values.*

*None of it is getting anywhere near the heart of what Easter really means.
What Easter means is that Jesus of Nazareth, who claimed throughout his
public life to be speaking and acting in the very person of God, and who* *
was brutally put to death by Roman executioners,* *rose bodily from* *the
dead. That’s what it’s all about.*


*Imádkozzál érettünk, Istennek szent Anyja!  Hogy méltók lehessünk Krisztus
ígéreteire!  Könyörögjünk! Kérünk téged, Úristen, öntsd lelkünkbe szent
kegyelmedet, hogy akik az angyali üzenet által szent Fiadnak, Jézus
Krisztusnak megtestesülését megismertük, az ő kínszenvedése és keresztje
által a föltámadás dicsőségébe vitessünk! Krisztus, a mi Urunk által. Ámen.*
