[Grem] Gospel meditation

[Emoke Greschik]

Friends, *today *we celebrate
*the Feast of St. Mary Magdalene, the first witness of Christ’s rising, who
declared the Resurrection to the Apostles.*

In point of fact, the Easter declaration, properly understood, has always
been and still is an explosion, an earthquake, a revolution. For *the
Easter faith is that Jesus of Nazareth, who had been brutally put to death
by the Roman authorities, is alive again through the power of the Holy
Spirit*—and not in some metaphorical sense.

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.*

The hope of ancient Israel was the unification of heaven and earth in a
great marriage. Recall a central line from the Lord’s Prayer: “Thy kingdom
come, thy will be done *on earth as it is in heaven*.” The bodily
Resurrection of Jesus is the powerful sign that the two orders are in fact
coming together.


*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.*
