[Grem] a mai nagyböjti szentmise igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, just before his Passion and Death, Jesus tells the striking story
that is our Gospel for today. The fertile vineyard stands for Israel, his
chosen people. But it could be broadened out to include the world. What do
we learn from this beautiful image? That God has made for his people a
place where they can find rest, enjoyment, good work. We—Israel, the
Church, the world—are not the owners of this vineyard; we are tenants. One
of the most fundamental spiritual mistakes we can make is to think that we
own the world. We are tenants, entrusted with the responsibility of caring
for it, but everything that we have and are is on loan. Our lives are not
about us. Christ is God’s judgment. We are all under his judgment. In the
measure that we kill him, refuse to listen to him, we place our tenancy in
jeopardy. And so the great question that arises from this reading: "How am
I using the gifts that God gave me for God’s purposes? My money? My time?
My talents? My creativity? My relationships?" All is for God, and thus all
is under God’s judgment.*
