[Grem] A mai szentmise igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, in today’s Gospel Jesus calls his disciples and us "childlike":
"Although you have hidden these things from the wise and the learned you
have revealed them to the childlike." How so? Children don’t know how to
dissemble, how to be one way and act another. "Kids say the darndest
things," because they don’t know how to hide the truth of their
reactions.In this, they are like stars or flowers or animals, things that
are what they are, unambiguously. The challenge of the spiritual life is to
realize what God wants us to be and thereby come to the same simplicity and
directness in our existence. To find out what is in line with the deepest
grain of our being.Let me put this another way: children haven’t yet
learned how to look at themselves. Why can a child immerse himself so
eagerly and thoroughly in what he is doing? Because he can lose himself;
because he is not looking at himself, conscious of the reactions,
expectations, and approval of those around him. The best moments in life
occur when we lose the ego, lose ourselves in the world, and just are as
God wants us to be.*
