[Grem] Gospel meditation

[Emoke Greschik]

 Friends, today’s Gospel is John’s wonderful* narrative of Christ’s
Passion.*
*On the cross*, *Jesus entered into close quarters with sin* (*because* *that’s
where* *we* *sinners are found)* *and allowed* *the heat and fury of sin to
destroy him, even as he protected us.*

We can *see, with special clarity, why the first Christians associated the
crucified Jesus with the suffering servant of Isaiah.* *By enduring* t*he
pain of the cross, Jesus did indeed bear our sins; by his stripes we were
indeed healed.*

*And this is why the sacrificial death of Jesus is pleasing to the Father.
The Father sent his Son into godforsakenness,* *into* *the morass of sin
and death*—*not because he delighted in seeing his Son suffer, but rather
because he wanted his Son to bring the divine light to the darkest place.*

*It is not the agony of the Son *in itself that pleases his Father, *but
rather the Son’s willing obedience in offering his body in sacrifice in
order to take away* *the sin of* *the world*. *St. Anselm said that the
death of the Son reestablished the right relationship between divinity and
humanity.*

*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.*
