This is intolerable language... 21 Sun B

First Joshua (24.1-2;15-18): The people answered: "We have no intention
of deserting the Lord. We too will serve the Lord, for HE is our God.
And then Petrus (John 6.69): "Lord where shall we go? You have the message of eternal life, and we believe; we know you are the Holy One".
And the Sunday-Mass-Community declares: I believe in God. We like to serve God. Thy will be done on earth as in heaven.
This is the frame.
And now Jesus (John 6.1-69): "The bread I shall give is my flesh, for the life
of the world". "My flesh is real food and my blood real drink". "I am the living bread which has come from heaven".
And the Apostles: "This is intolerable language. How could anyone accept it?"
And now Paulus today (Eph 5.21-32): "Wives should regard their husbands as they regard the Lord, since as Christ is the head of the Church and saves the whole body, so is a husband the head of his wife; and as the Church submits to Christ, so should wives to their husband, in everything".
And the Christian people of today: "This is intolerable language. How could anyone accept it?" We are an the way to accept "man and wife as equal".

Many teachings and much of the Church-Behavior came during the history of 2000 years of Christianity under the judgement: "This is intolerable language"
(unbearable, incomprehensible). And many of his disciples left him and stopped going with him - until today! The Church didn't find the turn.

Let's meditate the basis:
1. Christianity is incomprehensible as such by its nature and by human con..
2. Christianity is to live only as Community of believers (as Church).
3. Christianity is "the people of God on the way" (move or die).
4. Christianity is shaped by Grace + Blessings, by culture and nature.
5. Christianity has changed teachings and behavior many times.
6. Christianity is asked today again: Which shape is healing and uniting?

In regard of our teaching in matter of the marriage-sacrament and family-life we are on the brink of a new shape. The old teaching became intolerable,
and the new teaching? Are we prepared for a new view? Are the Bishops able for a new intrinsic Christian view? Or are we by nature immovable? The Holy Spirit is poured out - but maybe, some will not listen to him; not discover the signs of the time.
