[Grem] Gospel meditation

[Emoke Greschik]

 Friends, our Gospel today celebrates *the Presentation of the Lord in the
temple*. We are meant to understand that *the glory of Yahweh is returning
to the temple in the arms of Mary and Joseph, thus fulfilling one of the
deepest aspirations of Israel’s people.*
Now, *there is more to this story than the return of the Lord to his
temple. The Son of God, having taken to himself a human nature, is
presented to the Father, and thereby the human race is brought back online.
This little baby is the reconciliation of divinity and humanity, is the
very essence of temple sacrifice*.
*At the climax of his life, this baby, now come of age, would enter the
temple again. This time, he would pass judgment on it and declare his own
body as the new temple*. *A few days later, on the cross, he would perform
the final temple sacrifice, offering himself to the Father, even as he bore
the sins of the human race.*
*The Presentation of Jesus in the temple, perfected on the cross, is
re-presented every time the Mass is celebrated*. *The Presentation of the
Lord goes on now in our churches, in our temples.*

*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.*
