[Grem] *****SPAM(5.2)***** Gospel meditation

[Emoke Greschik]

Friends, in today’s Gospel, *Jesus enlightens the disciples on the road to
Emmaus. Have you ever tried to solve a puzzle and then were surprised when
the various pieces suddenly fell into place? Well, this is what happens to
these disciples* *as Jesus begins to speak: “How slow of heart [you are] to
believe all that the prophets spoke! Was it not necessary that the Christ
should suffer these things and enter into his glory?”* The whole of
Christianity is hanging here in the balance.
*The disciples didn’t get it at first*. *They* *didn’t get the secret, the
mystery, the key, the pattern.* And what was that?
*God’s self-emptying love, even unto death. God’s act of taking upon
himself the sins of the world in order to take them away, the mystery of
redemption through suffering.*

Jesus explains this first by reference to the prophets; but then, he makes
it as vividly present to them as he can*: “He took bread, said the
blessing, broke it, and gave it to them.” And that’s when the pieces fell
into place—that’s when the puzzle was solved. *The Eucharist made present
this love unto death, this love that is more powerful than sin and death.*
The Eucharist is the key.*


*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.*
