Onsdag, fredag og l\u00f8rdag hadde\/har vi h\u00f8stens imbredager (dvs. fastedager). Det var i «gamle dager» fire slike fasteuker i l\u00f8pet av \u00e5ret, og det er mulig ogs\u00e5 etter 1970 \u00e5 markere disse dagene, uten at jeg vet at det gj\u00f8res noen steder (der man bruker den nye kalenderen).<\/p>\n
Teksten for denne fredagen er det kjente evangeliet fra Lukas 7:36-50:<\/p>\n
36 En av fariseerne innb\u00f8d Jesus til \u00e5 spise hos seg, og han kom hjem til ham og tok plass ved bordet. 37 N\u00e5 var det en kvinne der i byen som levde et syndefullt liv. Da hun fikk vite at Jesus var gjest hos fariseeren, kom hun dit med en alabastkrukke med fin salve. 38 Hun stilte seg bak Jesus ved f\u00f8ttene hans og gr\u00e5t. Da begynte hun \u00e5 v\u00e6te f\u00f8ttene hans med t\u00e5rene, og hun t\u00f8rket dem med h\u00e5ret sitt, kysset dem og salvet dem med salven. 39 Da fariseeren som hadde innbudt ham, s\u00e5 det, tenkte han med seg selv: \u00abVar denne mannen en profet, ville han vite hva slags kvinne det er som r\u00f8rer ved ham, at hun f\u00f8rer et syndefullt liv.\u00bb
\n 40 Da tok Jesus til orde. \u00abSimon,\u00bb sa han til fariseeren, \u00abjeg har noe \u00e5 si deg.\u00bb \u00abSi det, mester,\u00bb svarte han. 41 Jesus sa: \u00abTo menn hadde gjeld hos en pengeutl\u00e5ner. Den ene skyldte fem hundre denarer, den andre femti. 42 Men da de ikke hadde noe \u00e5 betale med, ettergav han dem begge gjelden. Hvem av dem vil da holde mest av ham?\u00bb 43 Simon svarte: \u00abDen han ettergav mest, tenker jeg.\u00bb \u00abDu har rett,\u00bb sa Jesus. 44 S\u00e5 vendte han seg mot kvinnen og sa til Simon: \u00abSer du denne kvinnen? Da jeg kom inn i ditt hus, gav du meg ikke vann til f\u00f8ttene, men hun v\u00e6tte dem med sine t\u00e5rer og t\u00f8rket dem med sitt h\u00e5r. 45 Du gav meg ikke noe velkomstkyss, men helt fra jeg kom, har hun ikke holdt opp med \u00e5 kysse mine f\u00f8tter. 46 Du salvet ikke mitt hode med olje, men hun salvet mine f\u00f8tter med den fineste salve. 47 Derfor sier jeg deg: Hun har f\u00e5tt sine mange synder tilgitt, derfor viser hun s\u00e5 stor kj\u00e6rlighet. Men den som f\u00e5r lite tilgitt, elsker lite.\u00bb 48 S\u00e5 sa han til kvinnen: \u00abDine synder er tilgitt.\u00bb 49 Da begynte de andre gjestene \u00e5 sp\u00f8rre seg selv: \u00abHva er dette for en, som til og med tilgir synder?\u00bb 50 Men Jesus sa til kvinnen: \u00abDin tro har frelst deg. G\u00e5 bort med fred!\u00bb<\/p><\/blockquote>\nI dagens matutinlesninger (i den gamle kalenderen) leser vi s\u00e5 pave Gregor den stores kommentarer til denne teksten:<\/p>\n
Homily by Pope St Gregory the Great. 33rd on the Gospels.
\nOf what is the Pharisee that was exalted by self-righteousness a type, but of the Jewish people And of what the woman which was a sinner and came and wept at the Lord’s feet, but of the conversion of the Gentiles She brought an alabaster box of ointment, and stood at His feet behind Him weeping, and began to wash His Feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed His Feet, and anointed them with the ointment. Of us, therefore, even of us, was that woman a type, if after our sins we turn unto the Lord with all our heart, and imitate the example of her repentant grief. And of what is the ointment a type, but of the sweet savour of a good reputation Whence also Paul saith (God maketh manifest the savour of His knowledge by us) in every place for) we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ. (2 Cor. ii. 15)<\/p>\nIf therefore we do good works, whereby we gain for the Church the savour of good reputation, what do we but pour ointment upon the body of the Lord But the woman stood at the Feet of Jesus, behind Him we stood opposite to the Feet of the Lord, what time we were in sin, and went contrary unto His ways. But when we turn again, and truly repent us of our sins, we stand behind His Feet, for we follow His footsteps against Whom we once contended. The woman washed His Feet with her tears and we do in very deed the same when we show the tenderness of sympathy to any of His humbler members, when we feel with His Saints in their tribulations, when we make their woes our own.<\/p>\n
We wipe the Lord’s Feet with our hair when we give charity, even out of such things as we have ourselves no need of, to His holy ones, with whom we feel in their trials, in as far as our heart so sympathizeth, that the bounty of our hand showeth the truth of our compassion. He washeth the Feet of the Redeemer, but wipeth them not with his hair, who feeleth for the sufferings of his neighbours, but nevertheless, relieveth them not, even out of such things as he himself hath no need for. He weepeth, but wipeth not, who offereth words of tenderness, but sootheth not sorrow by giving such things as be lacking. The woman kissed the Feet and we do fully the same, if we warmly love those whom out of bounty we support, so that the neediness of our neighbour is not grievous unto us, nor the penury which we relieve a weariness to us, nor, when the hand is giving what is needful, the heart is untouched by compassion.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
