[Grem] A mai vasárnapi szentmise igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, today we read about the poor widow who gave her all to the Lord.
Her simple generosity, her offering of her whole livelihood, was a response
to God’s unconditional love. God’s love comes first. When we get this
wrong, everything else in the spiritual life is thrown off-kilter. Listen
to how St. John expresses this love of predilection: "In this is love: not
that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as the
expiation of our sins." If we play the game of loving God in order to get
God to love us, then we are lost. If we think that we can earn salvation or
we can work our way into God’s heart, then we are lost. Here’s a way to
think about it: we wouldn’t exist were it not for God’s love. God needs
nothing; therefore, whatever exists outside of God exists because God
desires some good for it. Love precedes, therefore, our intelligence, our
courage, our wills, our designs and purposes, indeed, our very existence.*
