[Grem] A mai szentmise igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

 *Friends, our Gospel for today is an especially good exemplification of
the principle of detachment. When Jesus is the unambiguous center of your
life, then everything else finds its place around him, in relation to him*. And
anything that would assert itself and take his position must be resisted
wholeheartedly as an



*idol and a temptation. We watch as Jesus clarifies for his disciples how a
number of worldly goods fall away, once he is recognized as Lord. I want to
look closely at one of these. As Jesus makes his way to Jerusalem, a man
approaches him and says, "I will follow you wherever you go." And Jesus
makes the laconic remark, "Foxes have dens and birds of the sky have nests,
but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head." One of the things, quite
naturally, that we savor is home, a place to stay, a nest, a man cave.
There is just something uniquely awful about being displaced, about
starting all over. We all want a place to lay our heads. But if Jesus is
first in our lives, then we cannot absolutize this good thing. We have to
be willing to follow him wherever he wants us to go. *
