[Grem] Gospel meditation

[Emoke Greschik]

Friends, in today’s Gospel, *the risen Jesus appears to his eleven
disciples.* That the Resurrection is a literary device, or a symbol that
Jesus’ cause goes on, is a fantasy born in the faculty lounges of Western
universities over the past couple of centuries. *The still-startling claim
of the first witnesses is that Jesus rose bodily from death*,
*presenting himself to his disciples to be seen, even handled.*

It is a contemporary prejudice that ancient people were naïve, easily
duped, willing to believe any far-fetched tale—but this is simply not the
case. They knew about visions, hallucinations, dreams, and even claims to
ghostly hauntings.

*In fact, in St. Luke’s telling, when the risen Lord appeared to his
disciples in the upper room, their initial reaction was that they were
seeing a specter. But Jesus himself moved quickly to allay such suspicions:
“Look at my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Touch me and see,
because a ghost does not have flesh and bones as you can see I have.*


*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.*
