[Grem] *****SPAM(5.1)***** Gospel meditation

[Emoke Greschik]

 Friends, the centerpiece of today’s Gospel is *Jesus healing the
hemorrhaging woman.* *Having a flow of blood for twelve years meant that
anyone with whom she came in contact would be considered unclean*. *She
couldn’t,* *in any meaningful sense, participate in the ordinary life of
her society.*
*The woman touches Jesus*—*and how radical and dangerous an act this was,
since it should have rendered him unclean*. *But so great is her faith that
her touch, instead, renders her clean. Jesus effectively restores her to
full participation in her community.*
*But what is perhaps most important is this: Jesus implicitly puts an end
to the ritual code of the book of Leviticus*. *What he implies is that the
identity of the new Israel, the Church, would not be through ritual
behaviors but through imitation of him. Notice please how central this is
in the New Testament*. We hear *elsewhere in the Gospels that Jesus
declares all foods clean, and throughout the letters of Paul* we hear *a
steady polemic against the Law. All of this is meant to show that Jesus is
at the center of the new community.*
*Lábunk együtt járjon, kezünk együtt gyűjtsön, *
*szívünk együtt dobbanjon, bensőnk együtt érezzen, *
*elménk gondolata egy legyen, *
*fülünk együtt figyeljen a csöndességre, *
*szemünk egymásba nézzen és tekintetünk összeforrjon, *

*ajkunk együtt könyörögjön az Örök Atyához irgalomért! *
*Amen*
