[Grem] A mai szentmise igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, today’s Gospel tells of the poor widow who gave her last penny to
the Temple treasury. Her behavior makes us consider our possessiveness.
What do we tell ourselves all the time? That we’re not happy because we
don’t have all the things that we should have or that we want to have. What
follows from this is that life becomes a constant quest to get, to acquire,
to attain possessions.Do you remember the parable about the foolish rich
man? When his barns were filled with all his possessions, he decided to
tear them down and build bigger ones. Why is he a fool? Because (and I want
you to repeat this to yourself as I say it) you have everything you need
right now to be happy. *What makes you happy is *always right in front of
you because what makes you happy is love. Love is willing the good of the
other, opening yourself to the world around you. Love is not a feeling.
It’s an act of the will. It is the great act of dispossession.*
