[Grem] *****SPAM(5.2)***** Gospel meditation (Bp. Barron)

[Emoke Greschik]

Friends, in our Gospel today, we see *Jesus *in action. He *is always
hurrying from place to place, on the go. *Today, Luke gives us a sort of
“day in the life” of Jesus. And it is quite a day! Our Gospel opens *just
after the dramatic expulsion of a demon in the Capernaum synagogue. And
after entering the house of Simon, Jesus cures his mother-in-law, and then
the entire town comes to his door. Jesus spends the whole evening curing
presumably hundreds who were variously afflicted.*

In the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries, in an attempt to
make Jesus more palatable to rationalists and “realists,” theologians put
great stress on Jesus’ preaching, especially his ethical teaching.
 But this is not *the Jesus that Luke presents*. Rather, he* is a
healer—Soter, *rendered in Latin as *salvator, *which just means *“the
bearer of the salus” or health. *Jesus is portrayed as *a healer, a savior*.
*In him, divinity and humanity have come together; in him, the divine life
and divine power are breaking through. God’s deepest intentions for his
beloved creatures *appears
*—what God plans for us in the kingdom to come is now historically
anticipated. *


*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.*
